2117 Well… the UK is having a heatwave

Okay, so if you live in the UK, you are probably plotting ways to murder me right now as I have reminded you how hot and uncomfortable you are right now. And as we are all hot, bothered, and uncomfortable I thought I would keep this week’s post short and sweet.

I’m just going to give you my tips and tricks on staying cool and comfortable.

Tip number 1: Keep your breathing steady and smooth. I have found keeping calm, collected, and just not rushing around keeps you cooler.

Tip number 2: This one, kind of leads on from tip 1, but don’t run around or rush in anything that you do. The quicker you move, the warmer you are going to feel, so give yourself extra time to get jobs done.

Tip number 3: Keep a drink handy, you will not regret this one. Keep yourself hydrated. This is the most important thing on this list.

Tip number 4: Get your hands on a fan or two. Some people think fans are useless but, on those nights, when you are lying in bed struggling to get to sleep a fan is going to make such a big difference.

Tip number 5: Ice lollies, ice cream, and ice (to put in your drinks). All the above. will cool you down quick. My favourite is ice cream. But it can be quite a heavy thing to eat on super-hot days.

Tip number 6: If you are brave enough, a hair chop will feel very nice. (I am not brave enough; I love my long hair).

And I think that is the end of my main tips, there are all sorts more you can do to help yourself. Feel free to leave some more ideas in the comments section.
