It’s no secret that Summer is not my favourite season! I’m definitely more of an Autumn/Winter girl. I can’t take the heat, and it can make me so irritable (sorry to my husband!).

There are a few little ways I’ve definitely found surviving the heat this year though – especially since we’ve had the hottest day on record (eek)! So I thought I’d share them with you guys.

 

1. Sort a Summer wardrobe

This sounds so obvious, but as someone who hates Summer, ive never really taken the time to really invest in Summer clothes before. They dont interest me, so I’ve not bothered. However this year I made a point to create a capsule wardrobe for Summer with all the essentials. Day to day wear, things for evenings out, or just running the shops. I made sure I have the lightest, coolest and comfiest clothes for everything I may need; and it’s really made a difference. Also… I got crocs! Laughable, maybe. But sure do keep my feet cool while I’m working all day.

 

2. Invest in a good fan – or aircon unit!

A good fan will be worth every penny, rather than going for the cheapest around. If you can also invest in an aircon unit, I 100% recommend it! I feel like it’s something that will definitely become more common in the UK as the years go on. I got one last year and it’s the best money I ever spent. We use it at night and it makes sleep SO much easier on those sweltering nights. I also have a great standing tall fan for downstairs, and a desk fan for my office!

 

3. Cool Treats

This is the time to really make sure you’re drinking plenty of water, and adding ice to every drink massively helps in he heat! I also recommend stocking up on ice lollies, or any other cold treats for during the day too!

 

4. Turn off as much power as poss

Not only will this help your electricity bill, but it will ensure your home is as cool as can be! Go around each room and make sure anything that doesn’t need to be turned on, is off!

 

Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there who struggles in the heat as much as I do!

Stay safe guys! x
