Weve already established numerous times why every glam girl should be gardening From giving you a free therapy session to nurturing your feminine energy theres so much that working outside can do for you But what do you need to get started Obviously a small green corner plants soil but what else Especially if youre not an ordinary gardener but a glam green thumb girly Im here to help you Heres the ultimate gardening checklist for the glam girl
SPF = Your BFF
First things first lets talk sun protection If youre going to spend time outside gardening YOU HAVE TO WEAR SUNSCREEN And I dont mean just a few dots on your face you should be wearing it on the rest of your body as well Dont get me wrong I love getting my daily dose of vitamin D from the sun as well However when were gardening were not just spending 15 20 minutes outside Often it can go on for hours This means that your skin needs an extra layer of protection against harmful UV rays So make sure youre applying SPF 50 before you go outside Ideally you should also reapply it every couple of hours This will not only keep you wrinkle free but also prevent more serious conditions such as skin cancer
Stylish Gardening Gloves
Next up lets talk gloves If youre a true glam girl at heart chances are that your nails are always done So well have to ensure that they are protected And what better way to do that than with a pair of stylish statement making gardening gloves They will keep your hands protected while adding a touch of glamour to your gardening ensemble Look for gloves with a snug fit reinforced fingertips and a breathable moisture wicking fabric for maximum comfort and control And hey why not opt for a pair in a bold color or fun pattern Pink floral print or leopard You can look glamorous and cute no matter what you may be doing
High Quality Tools
No glam garden is complete without a fabulous collection of high quality gardening tools From shovels and trowels to pruners and shears having the right tools on hand can make all the difference in your gardening experience Invest in durable ergonomic tools with comfortable grips and sharp blades for effortless digging planting and pruning Honestly there are so many options available nowadays that it would be almost a shame to just pick up a set of tools in a solid and dark color From pretty pastels to gorgeous patterns youll instantly feel a lot more motivated to get to work once you look at them
Hydration Snacks
The last one might be a bit obvious but I still want to mention it as I think its super important Once you go outside to do some gardening please make sure that you have refreshments and snacks nearby Gardening is a form of exercise and staying hydrated and nourished is key to keeping your energy levels up Either bring your Stanley cup and a couple of granola bars with you outside or keep a portable mini fridge around with water juice and healthy snacks such as fresh fruits and nuts Of course you can even snack on the fruits from your own garden or infuse your water with home grown herbs
