\"\"Yikes. So cooling off in the intense Texas\u2019 heat has become a lot more challenging this year, hasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

You can risk it and get out in public areas like swimming pools and water parks.<\/p>\n

But do you really want to do that when coronavirus could suddenly break out and get far worse for a little while, like the experts are predicting<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Assuming intermingling with the public doesn\u2019t sound like such a good idea to you, here\u2019s what you can do to keep cool as temperatures rise above 100:<\/p>\n

1. Make Your Own Water Slide<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few trash bags, baby oil to help you slide, and some water from your hose helps you make your own water slide.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll definitely make life a blast for your young children. And you can sneak in a few turns too.<\/p>\n

2. Install Heavy, Dark Blinds<\/strong><\/p>\n

This one will cost a little money. But not a lot. For those rooms that have direct sunlight exposure in your home, simply install heavy and dark blinds.<\/p>\n

They keep the hot sun out. That keeps you cool. And it also saves you a little money on your air conditioning too!<\/p>\n

3. Cook Outside on Your Grill <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cooking inside releases more heat into your home. So don\u2019t do that and shoot yourself in the foot.<\/p>\n

Simply cook your favorite meals on your grill. Here\u2019s a list of 50+ easy grilling recipes<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n

4. Enjoy a Snow Cone <\/strong><\/p>\n

So yes you do have to go out in public to get a snow cone. But you don\u2019t have to go out for very long.<\/p>\n

You can even designate one person in your family to make the trip and come back to your home.<\/p>\n

5. Drink Water Even When You Don\u2019t Feel Thirsty <\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter how you decide to beat the heat, drinking water should be a part of your strategy. Avoid alcohol and caffeine because they only dehydrate you.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to drink water if you feel it already sloshing around in your stomach. Don\u2019t hurt yourself!<\/p>\n

But do keep sipping on cool, refreshing water throughout the day, and even when you don\u2019t necessarily feel thirsty.<\/p>\n

6. Keep a Spray Bottle Handy <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have to be out in your car, or even if you just go outdoors for a bit, keep a spray bottle nearby.<\/p>\n

Simply soak yourself or your kids when you feel too hot. Or, upgrade that to a squirt gun and start an all-out family war!<\/p>\n

7. Wear Light, Loose-Fitting Clothes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Light colors absorb much less hot sunlight than darker ones. Loose-fitting clothing allows the heat to escape from around your body.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. 7 simple tips you can use to beat the Texas heat. Stay cool out there!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
