Happy Friday! Today on Steamy Kitchen we are giving away four amazon items and some tips that will keep you cool all summer long. Relax in the pool, chill a drink or get creative and make a new flavor of popsicle. 

5 Tips to Keep Cool This Summer

1. Stay Hydrated!

Drink enough water so your body keeps cool. If you’re dehydrated, you’re body won’t be functioning at its best! Check out this water bottle that has motivational sayings alongside the time tracker. 

2. Cool your sheets.

This might sound slightly odd, but it really works, hear me out. fold up your bed sheets and then place them in the freezer or fridge for about an hour before bedtime. Make your bed and fall asleep in cold airy sheets. It’s like the opposite of pulling warm sheets out of the dryer in the winter.

There is ALSO such a thing as this cooling pillow, so you never again have to wake up in the middle of the night to flip your pillow to the cool side. Plus its just really soft.

3. Buy some black-out blinds. These blinds can be a godsend when there is a room in your house that gets blasted with the sun during the day. Black-out blinds provide UV protection and complete privacy as well as temperature control! 

4. Try out a new sweet recipe that will cool you off!

Freeze some popsicles, make ice cream or test out a refreshing drink! For a couple of ideas, take a look at this Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream Recipe on Steamy Kitchen, or this recipe for Sparkling Ginger Lime & Mint Cooler.

5. Last but not least, Use. That. Ceiling. Fan. 

I know you have one! Flick that switch and let the air flow cool you off. This option is cheap and I find it especially effective at night when the air is cool outside. I crack a window so cool air is circulating in and out of the house.
