My daughter and I used to take daily walks around the block. It was a good way to get out of the house without taking on too much of a risk. Fresh air is always a good thing, especially when you’re working from home. But these summer days, we’ve opted to stay indoors a little more. The reason being, it’s so hot outside. By the time we’d come back from a lap around the block, a shower would be in order.
There’s a meme going around that more or less states that people are programmed to like summer since it’s the time we’re socially allowed to take off for a vacation. There’s a lot of truth to that. While it’s great to check out the beach on a hot and sunny day, it’s miserable to be a standard person in July. The heat can actually be dangerous.
That’s why it’s important to make sure you’re prepared with everything you need to have a cool summer — literally. This is especially important if you’ve been cautiously avoiding pools. And since there are likely hotter days ahead, you’ll want to make sure you know what to do when the real heat waves come by.
If the weather is making it too hot to think up a game plan, have no fear. Here are the 10 things you should have in your online cart to make the rest of the summer bearable.
