In the winter we complain about the cold weather and we look forward to the summer. And as soon as the heat arrives, we groan because it's too hot! Especially when you do not have air conditioning at home. It's a constant fight to stay hydrated, protected from the sun, and to have a small place in the shade! We would almost come to count the days that separate us from autumn ... a height!
Fortunately, we have selected for you 9 effective tips for cooling even if you do not have air conditioning at home. Simple things to remember in case of the heat wave! Look :
1.Frozen towels
Take small towels or washcloths and soak them with water. Spin them and roll them in a baking sheet, then place them in the freezer. Leave the towels until they are solid. You can also add a drop of essential oil for an even more relaxing experience.
2.Iced fan
Fill a large bowl with ice or ice cubes and place it in front of a fan. Fresh air will circulate in the room, lowering the temperature. Easy and fast, is not it?
3.An ice-cold foot bath
Feet are very sensitive to temperature. To fight against the hot weather that makes them swell, immerse your feet in ice or cold water. The temperature of your body will drop and it will be much easier to withstand the heat and fall asleep afterward
4.Ice cubes in the cafe
Make your favorite coffee at home, wait for it to cool down and pour it into an ice cube tray. Put the tray in the freezer for a few hours. Unmould the cubes of coffee in a glass, add milk or sugar and enjoy. It also works with a good mint or lemon tea.
5.A homemade fogger
To cool off throughout the day, do not bother buying a fogger. Do it yourself, it's more economical! For this, put slices of cucumber, a lemon juice, a teaspoon of aloe vera gel and a tablespoon of rose water. Mix everything and pass the liquid through a muslin to filter it. Then pour the mixture into a sprayer and put it in the fridge. All you have to do is pschitt on your face when you're hot. You'll see, it's good too!
6.Aloe vera
Take a stem of aloe vera on one of your plants or in store. Squeeze it on your skin. Its juice has a cooling effect when applied to the skin. After a long day under the sun, it can also help soothe sunburns. If you do not have an aloe vera plant, use this 100% natural aloe vera gel.
7.A homemade folding hand fans
Use craft kraft paper and fold accordion. Form a circle. To make the handle, use Eskimo sticks to stick on each end of the paper. And now, your fan is ready! As soon as you are hot and there is no air conditioning, take out your fan. Very practical in the subway for example.
8.Ice cubes with fruits
Fill an ice cube tray with your favorite fruits. Pour water on it and let it freeze for a few hours. You can add these cubes to your water for a sweet and fruity flavor or just suck these fruity cubes.
9.Sheets in the freezer
Place your sheets in the freezer for about 30 minutes before going to bed. In addition, be sure to put light and natural cloth sheets for the summer: cotton or linen are much cooler. Shut the shutters during the day so that the heat does not enter, and make a draft when the sun goes down.
