What’s in my Mermaid Bag?

1.) My bag itself!!

I use the Finfun bag that came with my first tail, I really like the design and it is great to have the panel to clip my monofin into.

2.) My tails

Right now I only have the two tails above and I really enjoy them! They are really easy to take care of and fit well in my budget. I will probably hold off on collecting anymore for awhile since the athletic part of mermaiding has always been the greatest interest to me.

3.) My bathing suit

Right now the above tankini is my only mermaiding specific swimsuit but it gets the job done. I have considered making some additions and alterations to make it fancier though

4.) My GoPro

I use a Gopro Hero8 to film all of the underwater videos that I film with my friends! It’s a really sturdy camera but sometimes the video quality will get crushed when I upload to my computer. Still working on figuring out what does that

5.) My Water bottle

When I remember I pack a 32oz water bottle because if I don’t I become very dehydrated and exhausted the rest of the day after swimming

Things I Want to Remember to Bring More Often

1.) A towel

I constantly forget to pack towels to go swimming

2.) Shampoo, Conditioner and Bodywash

Now that indoor pools have their showers reopening I really want to remember these so I’m not hanging out in chlorine all day

5 Tips for Securing a Wig without getting a headache

Not me just a pretty stock photo

πŸŽ€ Try using flat hairstyles underneath the wig like French braids instead of buns

πŸŽ€ Avoid using the elastic clasp in the back if you are going to be wearing your wig for a long time

πŸŽ€ Use wig glue instead of pins to secure your wig

πŸŽ€ Do a few test runs with your wig before the event you’re planning on using it for (meetup, convention, tea party, etc.)

πŸŽ€ Use a mesh wig cap, ( I tend to find that these have more give to them and don’t squeeze my head so tightly)
