Simple Summertime Tips
Stay Hydrated
Everyone knows the importance of staying hydrated, but we often overlook just how much water our bodies need to stay energized and thrive—especially in the summer heat. The next time you go to brew that morning coffee, make sure to pour a glass of water first.
Protect Your Skin
The sun is our skin’s best friend. But it can also be its greatest enemy. You may be the type of person who doesn’t burn easily, but habitual unprotected exposure to the sun can cause long-term issues, such as an increased risk for skin-cancer, and accelerated aging. Thankfully, regular application of sunscreen strongly mitigates these issues (and don’t worry, you’re not missing out on any tan).
Keep Your Home Cool
Constantly blasting the A/C isn't always practical, but there are a few financially-friendly ways to help keep the temperature under control.
- Double-check all windows are closed during the day.
- Shut all blinds to block out more sunlight.
- Use energy-efficient fans for specific rooms
- Consider opening windows at night if the air is cool enough.
Rest & Relaxation
I'm not just talking vacations—intentionally blocking out time for simple pleasures like reading outside, journaling, or a tech-free weekend.
Balance activity with rest to avoid burnout while still giving yourself the option to enjoy the summer weather.
