I AM HERE's tips for staying cool this summer




These aren't in any order:

1) Eat Watermelon. There is nothing better than eating watermelon fresh from the fridge when it is hot.

2)Go to a movie. I know this summer has been a hollywood suck fest, but all movie theaters have air conditioning.

Note: to Hollywood, could you make better movies for next year's heatwave?

3) Drink water, but not too much. Drinking too much water also depletes things that you need. Switch up to Gatorade and if you are in a bind, try this trick I learned in a restuarant.

Add half a packet of sugar to your water. You can grab a packet of sugar from Starbucks, they are everywhere.

4) Buy an ice pack and keep it in the freezer. For this summer I bought myself a Mr. Happy freezer pack. (pictured above) USE OFTEN.

5) Don't take the city bus. They are overcrowded and there isn't enough air conditioning in the world that is goign to lower 100 people's 98.6 degree body heat in that small of space.

6) Go to work and work late. They also, like the movies, have air conditioning.

7) Travel north. It is always liable to be cooler up north. Except for the Chicago to Minneapolis trip. It is never cooler in Minneapolis, the humidty becomes more tropical.

I hope these tips help you to stay cooler in these last few weeks of summer.

You can always travel to Minnesota, just go to Duluth and swim in the always-cold Lake Superior.
