We’re all sick of hearing about the heat already, so let’s talk about ways we can stay cool instead. 😎
Head to the Beach - Stay wet, stay cool. That’s what they say, right?
See Some Theatre - Drama. Culture. Air conditioning.
See a Film - Popcorn. Entertainment. Also air conditioning.
Get a Boozy Slushie - Totally worth the brain freeze.
Put some ice under a baseball cap - Okay, it’s not an activity, but it’s a good tip!
