Good morning! I hope you are all well and either enjoying the weather or if like me you're not a fan finding ways to keep cool. I am feeling so incredibly grateful for the aircon in my treatment room, allowing me and my clients to feel cool and comfortable during treatments 🙏
Poor Logan isn't keen on the hot weather so we've been having early morning walks, I've been leaving bowls of water in different rooms so it's easily accessible for him.
Here are some other handy tips I've found:
Keep windows closed (yes, really)
It might feel natural to fling open every window when it's hot — but that can make things worse. If it's hotter outside than in, you're just letting warm air in.
Top tip: Keep windows and curtains closed during the day, and only open them when the temperature drops in the evening or early morning.
Freeze your pillow (or your PJs)
Stick your pillowcase, pyjamas or even a hot water bottle filled with cold water in the freezer 20 minutes before bed. This simple trick offers an instant cooling hit that can help you get to sleep faster — especially during those muggy tropical nights where temperatures don't drop below 20°C.
Cool your pulse points
Running cold water over your wrists, neck or ankles can help reduce your body temperature slightly. It’s not a cure-all, but it’s a quick, easy and refreshing way to cool down when you're overheating. A cool shower is more effective.
Dress light and loose
Stick to light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes made of breathable materials like cotton or linen. Avoid dark colours, which absorb heat, and synthetic fabrics, which trap sweat. Think airy, not clingy.
Hydrate hydrate hydrate!
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, not just when you’re thirsty. If you’re sweating a lot, consider adding a pinch of salt or sipping a rehydration drink to replace lost electrolytes. But remember to cut back on caffeine and alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.
Wishing you a lovely Sunday!
Much love
Lorraine ❤️
