| Survival tips for the Summer |
I love Summer! Summer, summer, summer! Back when I was in school, I thought summer was the best thing that could happen. Not much classes (during college), and NO SCHOOL at all (when I was in my younger years). Nowadays, sometimes I fail to notice summer passing by. Surprisingly, this time around. I noticed.
Two days ago, I learned that summer is indeed here the hard way. I went to my late aunt's burial and when I came home, I found a very ugly tan line marked by the sleeves of my shirt. Lesson learned. Cover up!
Summer is supposed to be hot, but this time around, it is just too hot. But I still love it. For a person, like me, who just loves going around even in this blistering heat, I have some tips for you.
For us to enjoy our summer fully, we need to be equipped! From clothing accessories, and to other stuff, I have tried to come up with a couple of things.
- Sunscreen - Children should definitely have sunscreen on when going out. SPF should be at least 4.
- Wide brimmed hat - Baseball caps are not so good at protecting yourself from the sun.
- Sunglasses - Must have UV protection. If your sunglasses do not say anything about UV protection, do not use it or do not buy it.
- Wear lightweight and loose clothing
- Spray-on sunscreen for hair - This protects your hair from drying up under the sun.
- Liquids - It is VERY important to hydrate yourself these days. The heat makes one perspire more, and in the end you could be dehydrate. So, drink up.
- Medicated lip balm - Forget that you're a guy or gal. Taking care of your lips is as important as taking care of your skin.
These things are all elementary. I know I'm supposed to tell you to stay away from the heat of the sun. But sometimes it is just too fun to pass on. So it is best to be at least a bit safe, eh? If you can't stay away from the heat, then be protected at least.
Have fun in the sun, you guys! I hope to do so, too! :D

Name: Ann

About Me: even when she has fairy wings on, this girl is anything BUT dainty. perhaps the size, the weight, and the personality alone are just too much for her to be considered delicate, prim, proper, and refined. this girl with the mud smudged cheeks has been down on the ground one to many times. these times forced her to be tougher, smarter, and more savvy than she has ever been. perhaps she will always be, never dainty.
