Summertime!

You have to love summer. Longer days, sun, swimming, and sweat. Yes, I said sweat. Ever have a week straight when you couldn't leave the house without breaking a sweat? I live in Maryland where the humidity is out of control. It looks like it will rain for days on end and never even sprinkle. Bolts of lightning, thunder and humidity with no rain. Heat and humidity when combined; my worst nightmare.

I work in a place that is supposed to be air conditioned. Well on Friday it was far from it. A storm had knocked out the power and blew some of the motors in the air conditioner. My students sat in classrooms like ovens and we weren't allowed early dismissal. YUCK! Of course, I had on long black slacks and a short sleeve sweater like top. I felt horrible all day long. Curly hair stickout out looking like a wild bush and feeling like at any moment I could fall over into a deep sleep.

So I guess I have some suggestions for my fellow heat haters or sweaty sisters.

Tip one: Don't leave your house with your hair wet. I've noticed the humidity will only keep your hair wet and eventually cause you to sweat more.

Tip two: After you've applied your deoderant and are about to get dressed hold a napkin under your arm pit to absorb extra deoderant. Deoderant clogs all of your sweat glands too much can make you sweat under the arms.

Tip Three: Go light on the make-up. Let that face get some sun so you can go au' natural. Wash you face once during the day to cool down your body and avoid break outs.

Tip Four: Wear open toe or light shoes once in a while. You feet trap heat. Let them breathe.

Tip Five: DRINK WATER!

Have a great summer and try and stay cool!
