The summer months are quickly approaching. This means that we are going to start battling heat and all of the terrible side effects that it brings along. Though the summer is sure to bring memories and adventures, it also can be difficult to handle.
Using these life hacks, you can beat the heat and enjoy the summer season without any unnecessary hassle.
Sunburns are quite painful, and really a huge buzzkill during the summer. While aloe vera brings great relief, imagine what cold aloe vera could do.
In an ice cube tray, mix aloe vera with a bit of water and freeze. Once the mixture has fully frozen, apply it to your burn.
This is a great way to help the hurt and cool the affected area. These will be lifesavers for sure!
Mosquito bites are irritating, but did you know that you can stop the itching with products you already have at home?
Your first option is to apply deodorant or a dab of toothpaste to the bite. This will temporarily stop the constant desire to itch the area.
Your second option is to apply a heated spoon to the skin. This is said to kill the chemical that produces the itch.
While these are used frequently for those who are pregnant or experiencing foot pains, ice socks are a perfect way to quickly find relief from the heat.
Whether you are tossing and turning at night because your room is too hot, or you are lounging around the house- these socks are one of the best summer life hacks to keep cool and comfortable.
This is a great trick to know especially if you have kids, or you are planning on going out after being at the beach.
Get rid of the wet sand left on your skin from your beach day with baby powder!
I’m not sure why this hack works so well, but it is definitely great a must-know hack!
Once you have run out of sunscreen, shampoo, or conditioner, keep the bottle. Wash out any residual product.
You can then store cash, cards, or whatever you desire in this top-secret spot. This is a great way to bring what you need to the beach or pool without worrying about what will happen when you leave your bag to swim.
A thief would never think to grab a bottle!
It is so important that you don’t neglect your furry friends in the heat. Remember that it is just as hot for them as it is for you!
Imagine walking on hot pavement in the middle of July without shoes. The bottom of your feet would burn beyond belief. An animal’s paws are no different.
Make sure that you protect them. This is a cost-efficient way to do so.
Use toddler socks to slip over their paws. This will prevent their poor little paws from any unneeded burns.
We have all been in this situation:
It is a terribly hot day, and what better snack to have than an ice cold popsicle? You sit outside with your delicious snack when all of a sudden it starts to drip onto your hands. Now your hands are sticky, and your snack is quite literally melting away.
How annoying, right?
Lucky for you, I have the solution.
At the bottom of your popsicle stick, slide on a small cupcake liner. These will catch all of the drops and stop them from falling onto you.
