Taylor Swift was right; it definitely is a cruel summer.
But one thing wrong about her hit song is when she said, “It’s cool”, that’s what I tell them.”
Because summer in the Philippines, although grown accustomed to, feels nowhere near a fairly low temperature, Miss Swift.
But of course, it goes without saying that the summer heat is always one shake-it-off away from being a worthwhile one. That said, listed below are fun ways to do this season.
Beach getaway with family and friends
Come on, what’s a better way to spend the summer season than bringing your sunscreens and swimming attire to use, right?
To make it extra memorable, don’t forget to bring these essentials with you.
Portable speakers
Ready to head bang and move that body? Portable speakers are your ultimate buddy. It’s more fun if turning up the music doesn’t require large equipment. Just easy and handy.
You can even get a waterproof one, making it extra safe.
Waterproof phone case
Protect your phone with a waterproof case so you can enjoy the activities worry-free. It shields your device from severe damage brought about by water leaks. Dust and dirt? We don’t know them.
Mini fan
While staying at the beach, you may take rests in between activities. While you’re relaxing and recharging in a hammock or cottage, turn on your mini fan for an added cooling effect.
Chill vibes only at home
During the summer, heat is felt throughout all the corners of your home, making you feel irritated and uncomfortable. But who wants that, anyway? Now is the time to sit back, relax, and enjoy inside your house.
Refresh with cold drinks
Thirsty in the middle of a summer day? You know the drill: cold drinks. Splurging on refreshing drinks not only quenches your thirst but also boosts your mood. You don’t want to be thirsty and irked amidst the scorching heat, do you?
Cooling accessories
It’s not just you who needs to beat the summer heat, your gadgets do, too. Especially at these times, gadgets are prone to overheating. But don’t worry, there are cooling accessories, like laptop cooling pads and phone coolers, to help you out.
Lock in for a good time
Drinking water is one thing. But keeping yourself occupied is another. Grab your cards and boards or switch on your TV, and just chill over a box of pizza and chips. Outdoor activities may be put aside for now, so staying indoors should be a fun and worthwhile experience.
Keep your cool outside
If you’re on errands outside, such as commuting to work or attending an event, be sure to stay level-headed. After all, it’s hard to be under the sun without anything to regulate its effect on hand.
Now, listen: here are some things to keep in mind when going out during summer.
Handheld fans
Forget about manual fans, say hello to rechargeable handheld fans. These modern portable fans are your best friends for combating the blazing summer heat outdoors.
Bottled water
Bring a bottle of water with you and stay hydrated, besties. Heatstroke is a common occurrence during this season, so be sure to keep hydrated to help regulate your temperature.
Wear light-colored clothes
Did you know that wearing the right color can help alleviate the summer heat? Colors like white, pastels, and light earth tones are ideal since they reflect heat and minimize heat absorption, helping you stay cool amidst the hot weather.
Grab your hot summer essentials
Whatever you’re up for – going to the beach, staying at home, or business as usual – the effects of the summer heat are inevitable. But why get burned up when you can keep it cool, right?
