Eat a Popsicle

girl, mouth, One of the best ways to cool off on hot days is to eat something cold and a frozen popsicle is a great choice. You can buy the fruity flavored ones from your youth or make your own with juice, fruit and even booze if you so desire.

Put Your Sheets in the Freezer

Use Ice Packs

Sleep outside

fauna, tree, grass, plant, jungle, It's no secret that at night it's usually much cooler outside than inside. Rig up a hammock in your backyard, which lets you sleep where it's cool and maximizes airflow to keep you from getting hot and sweaty.

Cook outside

barechestedness, muscle, product, recreation, public event, Turning on your stove or oven during the summer just makes your house that much hotter. Instead, consider cooking outside on the grill or smoker. Or you could forgo cooking at all and enjoy meals that don't need any cooking. Think hummus and pita, salads or even a bowl of cereal with cold milk.

Put Your Lotions and Potions in the Fridge
