Ways To Beat the Summer Heat
Are you looking for ways to beat the Summer heat? Well, today’s post will provide some ideas on how you can stay cool. Although the Dog Days of Summer ended a few days ago; there are plenty of hot and humid days ahead.
Ways to Beat the Summer Heat
So, are you looking for ways to beat the Summer heat? In the first place, it is important to prepare ourselves for days of extreme heat. No matter what you’re doing, there are ways to stay cool. First and foremost, make sure you’re wearing comfortable loose fit clothing. When you’re wearing looser clothing, you’re allowing air to flow near your skin.
In the same fashion, make sure you wear breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen. In my opinion, you cannot go wrong wearing a T-shirt in the Summertime. For some style recommendations, be sure to visit my Summer T-Shirt Favorites post. Since many of us wear less clothing in the Summer months, it is important to wear Sun protection. Be sure to visit my Best SPF 30 Skin Sunscreens post for my recommendations for the best sun protection lotion.
At the same time, it is important to drink a lot of water. Because it is important not to get dehydrated in the heat; keep cold water nearby. In my opinion, water is the best beverage to keep you cool. However, if you’re exercising in the heat, you may need a sports drink to replenish your fluids, i.e, Gatorade.
Comfortable Summer Heat Recommendations
Consequently, many individuals have health issues from the heat. To feel cool right away, step into a place that has air conditioning. Another tip I have – is to keep a cold compress nearby. Whether you need something to cool down or have an injury or pain, the Gel Ice Cold Compress is ideal. Not only will these ice packs cool you down, but they will also provide relief for any pain.

So, I cannot live without my Bed Jet. When I first heard about this product, I knew it was a “MUST” for me. Of course, the cooler you are, the better you will sleep. If you wake up with “Hot Flashes” or are always hot, I recommend the bed jet for a good night of sleep. And of course, you won’t wake up sweating. So, get ready to sleep like a baby.
BUY NOW
As always, I welcome your comments on what you do to beat the Summer Heat.
Stay cool!

Boston Red Sox Trade Transactions 2018
So, Boston Red Sox Trade activity started before today’s deadline. Although today at 4:00 p.m. is the non-waiver trade deadline; there can still be trades if a team places a player on waivers after the deadline. When the season first started, there was a lot of hope for the Red Sox. Be sure to visit my Red Sox Opening Day 2018 Season post.
Boston Red Sox Trade Activity
So back in June, the Sox first signed three-time, All Star Brandon Phillips to a minor league deal. And, than the first player the Red Sox acquired was Steven Pearce from the Toronto Blue Jays. For Pearce and cash considerations, the Sox traded Santiago Espinal. Ironically, this happened in the same division.
Another trade that happened in our division was the Sox traded minor league pitcher, Jalen Beeks to the Tampa Bay Rays for Nathan Eovaldi. And, today’s news is Dave Dombrowski acquired second baseman, Ian Kinsler and cash considerations for two minor league pitchers from the Los Angeles Angels.
Trade Deadline
Since the American League has been very active in adding bullpen help; the Sox haven’t acquired any relief help as of yet. As we approach the last hour, will the Sox be successful in acquiring another arm for the bullpen? And, will they find their 2019 closer? Because Craig Kimbrel will be a free agent, chances are the Sox will not sign him.
Due to many pitchers not going the full game, baseball has become more dependent on the bullpen. Equally important, Red Sox Nation hope they will acquire another arm. Meanwhile, my eyes and ears remain wide open as the clock is winding down.
In summary, the Sox seem to be done after acquiring Ian Kinsler. As teams see their playoff hopes die, will certain relief pitchers be placed on waivers? With the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Houston Astros all adding relief pitchers; have the Red Sox done enough for October ball.
So, unless we hear something in the next few minutes; it seems the team didn’t make any moves at the deadline.
As always, I welcome your comments.
