It’s a dream of many people to fully experience a hippy lifestyle. Unfortunately, life responsibilities come as part and parcel of growing up in modern society, and arguably in a responsible way.
It might be fun to be a constant traveler, and many people live a more nomadic lifestyle, but sometimes people might also desire to have the financial and stable grounding to raise a family (not that the two are mutually exclusive!)
Everyone will make that choice for themselves as they grow up, and there’s no reason why doing one should prevent you from doing the other.
Whether you’re a mother whose children have finally flown the nest, or a young woman looking to experience all the world has to offer before she settles into the routine of a career and long-term financial planning, living a hippy lifestyle for a couple of weeks, couple months or even couple years could have vast impact on developing you as a person.
Camper Van
Purchasing an old camper van, getting it roadworthy and going on a huge trip across the country is a fantastic way to explore the traveling and free lifestyle.
It’s truly the best way to explore your adventurous spirit and give you that feeling of wholeness. This is a much cheaper way to explore your local country and can save you countless hundreds in accommodation costs, as you’ll occupy a space you consider your own.
You’ll also be able to decorate it and use it as you will. How exciting!
Flower Crowns
Flower crowns are an exciting and beautiful addition to your hippy wardrobe.
What’s more is that you can make them out of the surrounding nature! You’ll never have a more alive and present decoration in your wardrobe than this.
Flower crowns have a long history and used to be used in wedding ceremonies. They’re also a beautiful temporary addition to any wardrobe.
Jewelry
Hippies are renowned for wearing creative jewelry, and that means experimenting and spicing up your wardrobe with bangles and self-made adornment pieces. Get creative here!
Wearing a $500 Gucci watch is in some regard, quite limiting.
Wearing bangles you made yourself out of leather have that home-made mark and would make even the most profoundly free spirited hippies proud of you.
Festivals
“Without music, life would be a mistake.” Said Nietzsche the popular German philosopher. He was completely right about that.
You need to celebrate music festivals if you’re to enjoy the hippy lifestyle correctly. Let down your hair and enjoy the freedoms that you possess to celebrate in this way.
Fashion
Fashion is more free-form in the hippy world. Whatever you’re comfortable with, and whatever works for you are considerations that you need liberally apply.
If you want to wear it, you should wear it. Possessing a few fashionable stables like casual summer dresses for women can be a great starting point, and from there you can progress.
This summer is proving to be one of the hottest on record. Be sure you pay respect to the beautiful weather as a budding hippy by spending the entire time in nature, but be sure to look after yourself well.
The liberal lifestyle doesn’t necessarily advocate an irresponsible lifestyle. Have fun, and stay safe!
