Beat the Heat!

Summer is a great time to get outside and enjoy the weather, but when the heat gets to be oppressive, it’s time to think indoors.
  • 1.    Make sure to keep a bottle of water with you and drink it throughout the day. Yesterday, I drank a liter of water running errands in less than two hours. Toss a water bottle in the freezer before you head out and it will keep cold!
  • 2.    Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen…. We should wear it year round. It’s important to make sure to put some on your face every day. If you work out in the sun, reapply every few hours. Keep an extra travel size sunscreen in your glove compartment.
  • 3.    Water parks/Beach- Early in the morning or late afternoon. Avoid sunburn or too much heat during mid-day hours.
  • 4.    Take advantage of summer movies! Catch a matinee  to get out of the heat and into the air conditioning
  • 5.    Check out your local library and get involved with summer reading clubs
  • 6.    Check out museums and Art Galleries in your town  
Feel free to share other ideas!
