Are You Ready For The “Dog Days Of Summer”?

Steve Artressia

We’ve had a few hot days this summer, but thankfully nothing like what they’ve been dealing with in Texas and Arizona. BUT, the “Dog Days of Summer” are here, and a recent poll asked people to name their top “hacks” for staying cool in summer . . . and SHAVING YOUR WHOLE BODY made the list! It just missed the Top 10, but 1 in 10 people said they’ve groomed themselves to stay cool during a heatwave. Here are our Top 5 tactics (none of which require a razor) . . .

  1. Drink lots of stuff with ice in it.
  2. Eat ice cream.
  3. Sleep naked, or in your underwear.  No pajamas.
  4. Close windows and curtains to keep cool air in, and sunlight out.
  5. Cold showers.

Also making the list, putting a bowl of ice or frozen bottled water in front of a fan, eating something spicy to make you sweat more, and walking around in wet socks (???) . . . I’ll take a hard pass on that last one!
