Too hot for you?


Summer Fun Tips


How to survive a super hottttt summer.
A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Most likely, you just spent 7 months complaining about how HORRIBLY cold it was... so when the humidity is at 100% just remember in Febuary you were praying for heat.  
                                                                                               -Thank you.
Naturally upon the first hot day of summer you will consider the following as 3 solid options:
  1. Buy a sweet ass house with a gigantic pool....duh.
  2. Hire someone to pour you drinks...all day long.
  3. Hire a cook >> that way you don't have to prepare ANY meals in a hott kitchen.
      
However, if you were to decide to have a summer like this, you might end up loosing $200,000.
So, let's come up with some other ideas to keep you cool and save you some mulllahhhh$$
  • Water. It. is. FREE. So drink it, sit in it, play in it...etc.
  • Buy a kiddie pool and place it on your patio/porch. You can choose to sit in it or just put your feet in it-- in order to cool you down. Throw some ice in there if it isn't cold enough.
  • Water Balloons. {aren't that great for the earth but they are fun}
  • Set up a fan...outside. Sounds silly but you can add a breeze to your sweety self with one of these magically devices. Mwahaha.
  • Check out this misting fan.... if you were to buy this, you better chain it to your patio! They are PRICEY!! $$$ >>>Just Kidding! They are like $8.oo #saywhat Mistaway
  • A cooooool TOWEL. Place a cold towel on the back of your neck.
  • Run your wrists under cold water #zerodollarsspent <-- it will help cool your body down.
  • Eat cold & refreshing fruit #lovefruit
  • Have a bucket of water that gets dumped on you every 15 minutes. [[This maybe a tough one... but I am sure you have a friend that would love to dump a bucket of water on your head haha]]
  • Find a river and go swimming! {Be aware of what might be in that river. Don't go swimming with any great whites or alligators lol}
  • Go Fishing! A lot of the time the river, lake or the ocean is a prefect place to find not only water but a breeze! Make sure you bring your fishing rod and a buddy >> Check out some of our adventures/gear Here!
  • Sit in a Hammock... in the shade of course!
      
  • Splash Pads/Splash pools, seem to be a big thing down south! So try to find one!  Usually they are only for childern though... sorry!
  • By a shade for your patio/ porch... shield yourself from the sun!! Lol
  • Oh did I mention you should drink your WATER.......
  • Get a regular hat or something to cover your head and put it in water... then put it on your head!! YAY! I love doing this lol!


Basically, if you live near a sink, pool or WalMart, you will survive.
Find the water: drink it and use it!

Is it raining?

 
The best way to enjoy a raining day is to literally do almost nothing. I have a few ideas for you to help you get the MOST out of your lazy, rainy, bum-like day.

{{First: decide if you are inviting a friend or significant other to be lazy with you. Once you have decided who you will be a bum with... let them know your plans}}

  1. Do any sort of "work" early in the day. If you need to workout, pay some bills, do homework... Spend 1-2 hours (however long you actually need) doing the work.
    >>You don't want to feel guilty just chillin'<<
  2. Decide what food you shall eat. Food is good. Since it is a lazy day, you could order out OR you can just throw a bunch of random stuff together for something uniquely yummy.
     
  3. Decide what outlet you want to tap into to FULLY engage your extremely "bum-like" day. Will it be Netflix, Redbox and 20 different movies, Hulu, a old school VHS movie? Pick one!!
  4. Blankets. My dearest friends. Whether it is a hot day or freezing cold. I hate to say this, but you need a blanket to complete your lazy day apparel. Will it be a big fluffy blanket #hotelstyle or a thin polka dot sheet from when you were 12? Either way...find it and rock it.
  5. Find your remotes.....I mean ALL the remotes. The worst thing upon sitting down in NOT having EVERYTHING you need...right next to you. Can I get an amen?!
  6. Consider extra activities such as: Painting your nails, dying your hair, reading a magazine. Regardless of what you decide....make sure you have everything you need. Trust me, once you start Gossip Girl or Inception... you will NOT want to move.

  7. Turn your phone OFF. If your phone is on and near you, trust me, you will be checking facebook (for whatever dumb reason) every 10 minutes.
       >>>>>Let me give you a tip: Nothing new will happen every 5-10 minutes. So shut your   damn phone off and just relax! 
  8. Begin your day!

    Oh ps: if there is a chance it might get all sunny out.. make sure your blinds are closed. Nothing ruins a "bummy" day like the sun blinding you while you are binge watching tv. 

Other random tips: If you are feeling like you have just "wasted a day" you goofy over achiever... just relax! Maybe make a fancy dinner or just shower and do your make up! You are allowed to relax every now and then! If you are really worried about it- before you started relaxing, give yourself a time limit!!

 Happy rainy day, you bums.
From me to you with lazy day love.
