I'm more concerned with how my tent is looking!

---

We tend to do something during the day, so no way am i going off campsite without looking like me, nothing wrong with taking pride in your appearance.

As much as I love camping I can't do the hairy legged hippy thing   would never even consider having my hair in a pony tail *ssshhhhhuuuddderrr*,  I will put it up though, but nicely, takes an extra 15 minutes in the morning to make me look like me, but whats 15 minutes when camping.

I'm a 60+ girlie-girl! Also new to camping as of last year 2010. Always laughed off suggestions to go camping by saying " where would I plug in my straighteners?".  But, having decided to take the plunge late in life to camp in a tent I have to say my husband (he' a sweetie) ensures we have all our mod-cons with electric hook-up.  so we take hairdryer, straighteners, Sat.T.V., oven, multi-cooker, vacuum cleaner for the carpets & inflating/deflatings bed & space-bags, fridge, lighting, fan heater/cooler, along with our netbook & Kindle.

Have just spent 3 weeks in The Dordogne with no hardship & feel totally relaxed.(But it was too hot to wear make-up.) We were the "Silver Surfers" on tour!

I cant live without my GHD`s, hair looks like a scruffy poodle otherwise! Not always too worried about makeup tho x

Wash, clean teeth, brush hair and a bit of moisturiser. If I've had a shower then if there is a hairdrier I might dry my hair a bit (as it takes ages to dry otherwise as its longish). This is the same routine as at home!

But would many girly girls spend their hours browsing a camping forum - mmmmh?! My husband is a greate camper but wouldn't dream of spending time on here. He's too busy with other hobbies - so may be there are more girly girl campers out there than you'd think by responses to this thread. Now if you asked the same question on such as mumsnet.com....
