today’s the summer solstice (for the northern hemisphere), so tell me your favorite way to cool down while we’re watching the world burn. 🔥

  • Get up early and get as much stuff done outside as I can before it's sweltering
  • Frequent breaks
  • Freeze wet wash cloths or bandannas, grab one from the freezer, and put it around my neck to cool down
  • Ice blended cocktails (minus the alcohol if that's not your jam)
  • Keep a bowl of ice cubes out for the doggos
  • Move my home office down to the basement in the summer
  • Blinds and curtains closed after late morning (sorry houseplants!)
