Try something new this Lenten holiday and plan for an impromptu glamping trip – be on the mountaintop, beach side or even just right outside your neighbor’s backyard!
Glamping is a portmanteau word made by the combination of words glamour and camping. To put it simply, glamping means to camp in style.

And nothing says glamping like a stylish, utilitarian bag that fits everything you need.
Pack sunscreen, toiletries, mosquito repellents, and an itch soothing balm. If possible, choose organic products for a healthier and greener choice. Also, bring a bottle of lavender oil for a good night’s sleep and a well-stocked first aid kit in case of emergency.

Of course, no glamping is ever complete without a S’mores Campfire Kit. Here, I used a recycled plastic food tray and placed in a stick, marshmallows, a Hershey’s chocolate bar and Graham crackers that I’ve divided into sections along marked lines.
Most importantly, never forget to bring lots of water and your campfire meals. When it comes to meals, you can choose to bring a handful of ingredients to cook at the campsite or have prepacked make-ahead meals for a more convenient option.

For our brunch at Ultrawinds Mountain Resort, we brought with us what’s easy to prepare. But as a foodie, I still couldn’t sacrifice flavor over convenience. So we had Na’a Italian Sausage, Delimondo Garlic, and Chili Corned Beef, Pili & Pino Banana and Cacao Granola, Swiss Miss Chocolate drink and Nestle Fresh Milk.

If you’re planning to cook at the campsite, bring outdoor cook and dining sets such as portable stove, butane gas canister, can opener, kettle, collapsible pans and other miscellaneous items like matches, plates, spoons, forks and pocket knife.
Always keep in mind to be responsible for your own waste. The environment is important to each and all of us so leave no trace. Inspect your campsite and rest areas for garbage or spilled food. Pack it in, pack it out.
Should you start a campfire, build a mound fire or use an established fire pan. Keep your fire to a manageable size and make sure to put it out when you break camp.

Lastly, just relax, enjoy and take Instagram-worthy photos! 😉
