This is a summer bonus! Popsicles ... blended fruit ... or anything from the fridge. Freeze lemonade (or any drink) in ice trays so you can let it melt in your mouth. Summer heat ... beat!



Your window shades and blinds can help with summer's heat. Open your windows and doors at night to promote circulation, then close up the house at sunrise to keep the interior cool as long as possible. Your AC unit will appreciate you ... and so will your electric bill!


Heat escapes through your skin, and evaporation reduces temperature. So, if you must be outside in the heat, get wet! Drench a tee shirt, use a spray water bottle, or jump in the shower. Difference made!!


Summer sleep ins are nice, but catching the sunrise means enjoying the coolest time of the day. A double bonus! So get out there before the sun does and make the most of your morning!


Keeping a dry towel in the freezer can provide a quick cooling effect on especially hot days. Wrap it around your wrists, hands, or feet to drop your core temperature. Relief achieved!
