Tips to stay alive in this HEAT!

I can't remember when it was hotter all around the country (probably just last year). Everyone is saying stay out of the heat! I had a run in with this summer weather last week when I got a second degree burn on my shoulders from swimming, I wasn't wearing sunscreen either :(. I didn't actually feel the burn until a few hours later when I felt like I was sitting in front of a fireplace. And yes I got painful blisters...


So here are my tips for staying safe in this heat!

1. Drink water, a gallon a day if you can. 

2. Wear Broad Spectrum SUNCREEN and reapply every 45 minutes to an hour. You are really   supposed to go through a bottle of sunscreen, 8oz plus per person per day. 

3. Wear a wide brimmed summer hat - its fashionable anyway! 

4. Wear SUNGLASSES all day to protect your eyes - really do it. 

5. Eat lots of Vegetables - good for your health, skin and they contains lots of water and vitamins. 

6. If you do get a burn, apply fresh aloe if you can to the burn every 20-30 minutes.
