While staying hydrated should always be a priority, it is especially important during the summer months.<\/span><\/b><b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your greatest option for staying cool is hydration. Avoid sugary, caffeinated, or energy-boosting drinks, as they can be counterproductive and dehydrate you further.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wear cool clothing:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You know that gross feeling of clothes sticking to you, making you feel even hotter and sweatier\u2026that\u2019s because you aren\u2019t wearing the right material. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might think loose, flowing maxi dresses will do the trick, but unless it\u2019s made from material that breathes and allows the heat to escape, it\u2019s not going to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opt for shade, always:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Long beach days and lounging in the sun by the pool is what summer is all about, right? Not if you want to stay cool. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Look for a breezy, shady spot, take a sip of your drink with the fun little umbrella, relax in a hammock, take in the views and take pleasure in your free time over the weekends while staying chilled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go for spicy:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We know what you are thinking\u2026eating spicy food should make you feel hotter, right? Yes, but it is a lot like drinking tea on a hot day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you eat spicy food, your body temperature rises internally, causing you to perspire, which will chill your body more effectively than foods like ice cream and watermelon which only have a temporary effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Stay dry and fresh: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s never pleasant to be out in public on a hot day, feeling sweaty, hot and bothered. Having an antiperspirant that you can trust to keep you feeling fresh and dry throughout the day is key during the summer. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We love the Shower to Shower Ladies Antiperspirant, Confident Me with StayDry\u2122 and Soothex.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trying to be productive and look professional when it\u2019s over 30 degrees outside and all you really want to do is swim and eat ice cream can be quite a task, especially if you are feeling sweaty and sticky.
