Looking for creative ways to beat the summer heat? We’ve got a few! So take a break from the A/C for a while and try one of these new ways to keep cool.
- Adjust ceiling fans so they run counter-clockwise pulling hot air up and away!
- For a quick cool down play ice packs on pressure points at your wrists, neck, elbows and behind the knees.
- Drink a glass of water before bed to make sure you’re well hydrated and comfortable.
- Choose cotton clothing and sheets over synthetics.
- Keep your blinds and curtains drawn during the day to keep out the warming effects of sunlight.
- Take a lukewarm shower before bed – too cold and your body will overcompensate by creating more heat.
- Visualize the cool! Close your eyes and think of a wintry, snowy landscape. This mental image will cause a cooling reaction in your body.
If you don’t already own a new home – that may be the best way to stay cool this summer. New homes are more energy efficient and perform better during extreme temperatures. Just another reason to buy new!
