Keep These Essentials in Your Bag to Be Prepared for All Eventualities at Coachella
If you're headed to Coachella this month, you're in for a bit of planning.
Chances are that you've already started thinking about what artists you're going to prioritize, the outfits you're going to wear and the makeup and hair looks you'll be putting together, but there's a lot more to the festival to consider. Coachella is a bit of a marathon, consisting of three long days in the hot sun, and if you don't come fully prepared, you might regret it. Make sure you keep the following essentials in your bag to make the whole event as smooth as possible.
BEAM Gut Health Probiotic: $49.99
The last place you want to be dealing with tummy issues is Coachella, which is why we recommend taking a great probiotic, like this Gut Health Probiotic from BEAM. The capsules are easy to travel with, but best of all, they're packed with 10 billion CFUs, as well as ginger, licorice root and more, to help you digest food better, prevent indigestion and upset stomach and absorb nutrients more readily. There's also a correlation between good gut health and immunity, which is another benefit if you don't want to come home with festival flu.

Sunny Skin Super Sun SPF50 Mini: $17
You should technically be wearing an SPF every day, and at a festival where you're out in the sun all day, a great sunscreen becomes absolutely necessary. We're currently loving this Sunny Skin Super Fun SPF50 Mini for its portability and great formula. It's a physical sunscreen, creating a barrier between the sun's UV rays and your skin, with added antioxidants and skin nutrients to leave you with an enviably soft, dewy finish.

Vacation After Sun Gel: $12
With the hustle and bustle of Coachella, it can be all too easy to forget to reapply your sunscreen during the day, so if you do happen to get a sunburn, Vacation's After Sun Gel is here to save the day. It's definitely not your average aloe gel, ditching the typical sticky formulas for something packed with cucumber and bisabolol, plus niacinamide, vitamin E, allantoin, hyaluronic acid and tremella mushroom to be ridiculously hydrating, so it instantly leaves your skin feeling soothed, rather than tingly. It also smells amazing with a blend of cucumber and citrus, and is so moisturizing you'll want to use it even when you're not feeling the burn.

Rebels Refinery Tinted Lip Balms: $20 for 3
It's tough to stay cool and hydrated in the desert, so don't forget to back a great lip balm—or three. Currently, we're infatuated with this Tinted Lip Balms set from Rebels Refinery, featuring cute pineapple shapes, gorgeous color application and a super moisturizing formula. They come in Black Cherry, Coconut and Strawberry flavors (but try not to lick too much), with coconut oil, beeswax and vitamin E to soothe and repair dry, cracked lips.

BUQU Bubs Duck Power Bank: $19.99
Think your phone battery is going to last you through the day? Think again. With all of the photos and videos you'll be taking while your phone attempts to connect to the wifi, you're likely to run out of juice before you know it, which is why you need a power bank handy. Not only is this rubber ducky one from BUQU so cute, but it's also got a clip for convenience, charges devices quickly and also carries enough energy to recharge most phones 1.5 times.

Happy Planner Made to Bloom Mini Notebook: $9.99
You can also reduce the strain on your phone battery by not using it to look up every last thing with the help of a Made to Bloom Mini Notebook from Happy Planner. It's a planner, wellness journal and notebook all in one, and we recommend using it to note your must-see artists and when they're performing, as well as for drawing out maps for where to find them and access things like bathrooms and locations with the best wifi.

loop Experience Earplugs: $34.95
We love live music experiences—but not the damage it does to our ears. Whether you tend to be overwhelmed by loud music or simply want to protect your hearing in the long run, you should be wearing loop Experience Earplugs. They're designed specifically to reduce noise without limiting the quality of the sound, with up to 18 dB of filtered noise reduction. The earplugs are stylish as well as comfy, with four interchangeable ear tip sizes for all ears, and will make you love the music you're hearing even more.

Goodwipes Body Wipes: $10
Showering at Coachella is no one's favorite experience, and for keeping clean and dry throughout the day, you can't do much better than Body Wipes from GoodWipes. These travel-size, all-over wipes will help you get rid of stickiness and odor from sweat in an instant, leaving you fresh no matter how high the temperatures rise. They also come in Cedar, Fresh and Lavender scents, in case you want to mix things up throughout the festival.

Voesh Moisturizing Heel Socks: $9
Suffering from cracked, sore feet after a day of Coachella festivities? These Moisturizing Heel Socks from Voesh will get you feeling like new again. The soft, fluffy socks are infused with a gel lining with jojoba and olive oil to repair and hydrate your heels. Keep them on for half an hour to let them work their magic. Best of all, they can be used up to 50 times, since they're activated by body heat, so they'll more than get you through all three days.
