As we prepare for the road tomorrow, keep a few tips in mind:
Get some a good night's sleep. You will be on the road for a long time and it doesn't help to start the day tired.
Use gel insoles in your boots or sneakers. Toe protectors can also be used to cushion the pressure on your big toenails.
Cut toenails
Shave/ wax!!! especially if you are not wearing tights
Use lots of sunblock
Use milk of magnesia under your foundation to reduce oiliness
Use a fix it spray to set your makeup
Leave valuables at home. Keep the sunglasses, jewelry and smartphones generic. If you must have your phone, carry a ziplock bag, to protect it from rain or any water. The bag can also be used for your camera.
Have a good breakfast at home
Get to the Stadium early enough for a parking spot. If you are running late, keep in contact with someone in the band so you will know where to meet them.
Go easy with the alcohol. There's no need to go hard too fast. It is important to drink as much water as you do alcohol; hydration is key.
Carry your a mug or cup; preferably one with a lid
Blot! don't wipe when you sweat
Always be aware of your surroundings and the people in said surroundings. Yes, you will feel to wine on anything but not eveything deserves to be wined on. And while wining on strangers, be aware of the location of your phone and camera. The band has security but they cannot keep track of everyone. Your safety should be a piority.
Ensure you get a meal at the lunch stop and use the opportunity to get a brief rest and use the restroom. But don't rest too long; you won't want to leave. The ladies should also use the opportunity to touch up their makeup.
I would also caution masqueraders about the Half Way Tree part of the route. It tends to get a bit rough as stormers try to get in the band.
Always have epsom salts foot bath once you get home to ease the pain and any swelling especially if you have to go to work the next day.
Enjoy! and stay cute :)
