Beat the Heat!

Are you hot in Detroit this week? Are you hot all the time now? We hope we can do something for a bit of heat relief! We've gathered some east tips for those of us without air conditioning this summer!

First things first, if its in your budget a fan works wonders! Opening the windows/doors can also help to create a cross breeze in your home. Believe it or not, there are many more ways to keep cool!

1. Drink more water. Relief from the heat is almost immediate. They have popsicle trays and ice cube trays at Family Dollar - pour in some water or whatever kind of juice or ice tea you have around and voila! Feel the cool!

2. Freeze your pillow a few hours before bed. Mmm. 

3. When you wake up in the morning, hang your bedding in the coolest part of your house and when you're ready for bed enjoy fresh, cool sheets!

4. Spray bottles! They're also at Family Dollar and mist your face (or your furry friends!) for cheap, cheap, cheap.

5. Soak your feet in a bucket of cold water! OR rinse your wrists under cold water in the sink!

6. Mint, cucumbers, and believe it or not SPICY food helps to cool you down!
