It’s August and summer is in full force, at least for me! Every day seems hotter than the last. If, like me, you’re stuck in a summer heat wave, here are some great ideas to beat the summer heat and have fun at it! After all, it isn’t going to last forever, right?
1. Wear a skirt. Not only are they cute, but they also help keep your cooler! More ventilation!
2. Drink lots of water. Way more than you think you need to. Hydration is the key to staying healthy in the heat and keeping your skin young and soft.
3. Don’t go outdoors in the heat of the day. 2-4 in the afternoon are generally the hottest hours of the day, as the sun is still shining plus, the ground is completely warm and is also emanating heat (thanks college geography!).
4. Open your windows at night to cool down the house and save money on air conditioning. Of course, if you live in an unsafe area, or are home alone, this might not be a good idea.
5. Cut your hair. I know it’s not a great idea, but if you are dying from the heat and can’t seem to cool down, you should consider getting your hair cut shorter. Those of us with long hair really do suffer in the summer!
6. Wash your car. You get a clean car and a chance to get wet and cool down, so wash your car at home. It will save you money! I’ve even seen people pull their cars onto their lawns so they also water the lawn at the same time!
Remember that summer is almost over, so make the most of it while you can. Don’t forget your sunscreen and bug spray!
