In the winter, all we dream about is the wonders of summer. But once it's here, we all regret such dreams. Don't fear, you can still enjoy your summer paradise with these survival tricks.
1. Water
GiphyCarry water with you everywhere. Stop to drink water at every water fountain. Even splash some water on your neck while you're at the fountain. Accept every drink of water given to you. Even drink water variants, such as flavored water, sparkling water, and juice. I'm not kidding. WATER IS YOUR LIFE SOURCE.
2. Clothing
GiphyWear the right clothing. There is no need to expose all your skin. Sunburns are real and you want to prevent them. Instead, think thin, soft materials. Cotton will become your best friend. Skirts and sundresses are great breathable options for the girls. For the guys, I've heard that swim trunks are best. They are light, made for the heat, and dry quickly from the rain.
3. Footwear
GiphyNothing is worse than blisters. So even if it seems contrary to do so, wear socks. They can be ankle socks or, even better, slip-on socks. It just depends if you are wearing sneakers, flats, crocs, heels, etc. If you wear sandals makes sure they have a cloth kind of texture. If they are those plastic flips flops, your skin will peel off. I repeat, PEEL-OFF. No fun! To prevent weird tans lines, change up your footwear on the daily. Unless you like having a funky tan line. That's all on you.
4. Shade
GiphyWhether it's standing under a tree or taking refuge in your local grocery store, finding shade is a must. In more dryer places this makes a huge difference. But even in humid areas, the shade can be a way to not feel like you are literally being consumed by fire. To create your own shade: use an umbrella or wear a hat.
5. Sunglasses
GiphyProtect your eyes. You know how sometimes you can see puddles on the road but then they disappear. Yeah, those are the suns rays that your seeing. You can see the HEAT. So to keep your eyes still in business, carry around a pair of sunglasses. If they have a cool tint, you can even see la vie en rose.
6. Moisturize
GiphyWear deodorant. It prevents rashes and excessive sweating. Lotion, aloe vera, and sunscreen: use them!! If you don't, you will be like a roasted chicken. There is a reason we cook our food in heat! Don't be a roasted chicken!!
7. Hair
GiphyWork that up-do! Whether you sport a man bun or a girly ponytail, just keep that hair away from your neck. Who wants slimy tentacles clinging to their neck? No one!
8. Travel
GiphyIf you are on foot, this is a biggie. The fewer things you have to carry, the less effort you are exerting. Hence, don't take everything with you wherever you go. Just bring the essentials.
9. Attitude
GiphyHaving the right attitude is the most important element to surviving a ridiculously hot summer. It is going to be hot. Just accept it and move on. Soak in that vitamin D and love every second of it! Because once the summer is gone, you are going to miss it.
Now you are ready to enjoy your summer paradise to its fullest. Have fun! And stay cool!!
