Crease Brush in Rose Gold for Jane Iredale

Old childhood memories often evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. For me, one such memory is the annual summer camping trip my family used to take when I was a child. Every year, as the scorching summer heat arrived, my parents would meticulously plan our camping adventure, meticulously packing the necessary supplies and equipment.

The anticipation would build as the departure date drew near. On the day of the trip, my siblings and I would eagerly await the familiar sound of the car engine starting, signaling the beginning of our journey. The drive to the campsite was always filled with excited chatter, as we imagined the wonders that awaited us.

Upon arrival, the first task was to set up our cozy tent. My father, with his expert hands, would deftly assemble the poles and secure the canvas, while my mother and I would lay out the sleeping bags and arrange the camping gear. The sense of accomplishment we felt as the tent stood tall and sturdy was immensely satisfying.

Once the camp was established, the real adventure began. We would venture out to explore the surrounding wilderness, marveling at the towering trees, the babbling brooks, and the diverse array of wildlife. My siblings and I would search for interesting insects, build miniature dams in the streams, and engage in thrilling games of hide-and-seek among the dense foliage.

As the day drew to a close, we would gather around the crackling campfire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. The flickering flames cast a warm glow on our faces, and the soothing sound of the fire and the rustling of the leaves lulled us into a state of tranquility. It was during these moments that I felt the most connected to nature and to my family.

The nights were filled with the sounds of the forest – the hooting of owls, the croaking of frogs, and the occasional rustling of leaves. Snuggled in our sleeping bags, we would gaze up at the vast, twinkling sky, marveling at the endless expanse of stars. The cool, crisp air and the feeling of being immersed in the natural world were both invigorating and calming.

As the sun rose the next morning, we would greet the day with a hearty breakfast cooked over the campfire. The smoky aroma of sizzling bacon and the sound of sizzling eggs would awaken our senses and prepare us for another day of exploration and adventure.

Those summer camping trips hold a special place in my heart. They were a time of simple pleasures, strengthening family bonds, and cultivating a deep appreciation for the natural world. The memories of those carefree days still bring a smile to my face and a sense of warmth to my soul, reminding me of the pure joy and wonder that can be found in the great outdoors.
