You must realise that the OP lives in Essex....you have all seen "The only way is Essex" on the television.

Reading this thread, I think the conclusion for the original poster is that she's not the only "girly girl" on here, but she is definitely in the minority.

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 am a girly girl and wont leave the house at home without make up and hair tidy. When camping/or any holiday I loosen up a bit as I wont wear make up in the sun and when I have a tan I only need tinted moisturiser, some bronzer and mascara. Also take a clip and french pleat hair, as no amount of GHD straightners will help once the humidity turns my hair into worzel gummage. I do wear dresses too although have invested in some funky hoodies for cooler evenings. You may feel like letting go, but when you cannot bear to look at any of the holiday snaps then there can be no price on fitting in a little extra, or finding some time to look more presentable. This is obviously a personal thing and a lot of people seem happy with the way they look au naturelle..... I am however not one of these people ;-) lol x

forgot to mention though, I have learnt the hard way about taking too many shoes, and will now live in flip flops (albeit do take 5 pairs lol ) x

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!

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....

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
