# Block the sun - close the curtains, close the blinds, put the hood to the windshield. Ensure smaller flow of sunlight into your living space during summer.
#
Keep the head in the shade – if you are on vacation, it is ok to have a sunbath but only until 10 AM, and from 5 PM in the afternoon. In the meantime, you can relax
on a sunbed in the shade of pine trees sipping your favorite fruit cocktail.
# Wear a hat - even in the morning, the sun can be so strong, especially on the beach - so use your hat (it will protect your skin and hear).
# Wear cotton clothes - loose and comfortable clothes, preferably cotton will help air movement around your body and evaporation of the sweat.
# Apply a sun protection factor - use natural sprays with with proven ingredients like coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil etc. That way you keep the skin safe from harmful substances and possible sun allergy.
# Drink a lot of fluid (herbal tea is the best solution) - herbal teas contain many healthy ingredients that help you stay hydrated, such as mint tea or lemon balm. Add in an ice cube and a slice of lemon and sure you will not feel thirsty. Avoid beverages that contain alcohol, caffeine, or lots of sugar, which are dehydrating.
# Spice up your food - spicy food will give you cooling experience. Mexicans know the secret: „ eating hot stuff can cool you down“.
# Eat light – you can enjoy fish meals, salads, seasonal vegetables. Find your favorite restaurant while on vacation.
# Close all windows - be sure that the temperature of your apartments doesn*t get higher than the external temperature. If you open your windows you will let the heat in.
# Use a sprey bootle with water - give yourself a spritz when you feel overwhelmed - as the water get*s evaporated from your skin it will give you superb cooling sensation.
# Use a fan and/or A/C - while A/C makes the air cooler by removing humidity from the air, fan helps you to move away the heat from your skin.
#
Shut down all devices that produce heat - who needs a computer or tablet when on vacation? Take a swim in a beautiful sea, or relax your body on a sunbed under a pine tree ( you are not sure where to find such ideal location? Try with
Malinska :)

Be cool – take your time to relax, have little breaks if you really have to work throughout the summer, visualize yourself on vacation – and book yourself
a getaway in September when the heats are lower but nature still preserves traces of summer.
