Tips For Surviving The 2024 Heatwave From Hell
We've been doing this all summer – the sun's out in full force, your shirt's sticking to you constantly, you break a sweat the second you open the front door, and swamp ass sweat stains are on-trend this season. This summer's heatwave is no joke – it is offensively hot outside.
You’ve probably been wondering: what are we even supposed to wear this summer? To tell you the truth, I don’t know. It’s too hot to worry about fashion. It’s so insufferably hot this summer, the only reasonable solution feels like leaving the house naked. Unfortunately, that comes with its own repercussions, like scaring the neighbors with your pale bare ass and awkwardly explaining your life choices to the police.
So, what are we supposed to do to stay cool this summer?
The Classic Methods:
Let's start with some of the oldest tricks in the book. While they might have their merits, they often feel like they're more about tradition than actual effectiveness.
Ice-Cold Drinks:
Don’t get me wrong, there are few things in this world I love more than an ice cold glass of water, there’s nothing quite like that initial icy sip. Sure, it offers a brief moment of relief, but within minutes, you’re back to sweating like a sinner in church.
Portable Fan Supremacy:
Portable fans are like the new sunnies this season. Everywhere I go, I see a girl whip a handheld fan out of her Louis bag. Love the idea, but there are some caveats here. What if it dies? Do you have AAA batteries in your purse? Will you ever remember to change those batteries? "Just get a portable fan," they say, as if waving a tiny propeller in your face will suddenly make this heatwave tolerable. Cute, but unless it's capable of creating an arctic vortex, it’s just blowing hot air around.
“Natural” Remedies:
Now, let's delve into the world of natural methods, often recommended by well-meaning friends who use phrases like "holistic" and "wellness journey" unironically. Admittedly, this heat wave does have me convinced that climate change is a thing. While these approaches are scientifically sound, they lack a certain … luster.
Hydration:
First up, water – the holy grail of wellness junkies. Listen, we all consume water, we literally have to consume water as human beings. However, we absolutely DO NOT need to carry around gallon-sized Stanley Cups with full-blown tupperware accessories that could double as small weapons, constantly reminding you to "stay hydrated." We get it, Karen, hydration is key. But when it feels like you’re drinking your body weight in water and still sweating like a pig, then what? Drink more water and hope for the best? *Vegans, in case you didn’t know, pigs sweat.
Shade:
Ah, the pursuit of shade. Wellness enthusiasts will tell you to find a nice, shady spot and just "relax." Sure, let me just uproot this tree and carry it around with me. Finding consistent, cool shade in the middle of a heatwave is like finding a unicorn – rare, magical, and probably a sign you’re hallucinating from heat exhaustion. And when you do find a good shady spot, you know what comes with it? Bugs. Hundreds of thousands of gnats that are out for blood … and sweat.
Herbal Teas and Supplements:
Finally, we have the herbal teas and supplements brigade. Ginger, peppermint, and God-knows-what-else, all promising to cool you down and align your chakras. Drinking hot tea to stay cool is the kind of logic that only makes sense after a three-day wellness retreat. And those supplements? They taste like lawn clippings and give you more gas than relief.
So there you have it – the “natural” remedies that sound great in theory but often leave you wondering if you’re the punchline in some elaborate joke. When you're ready for a real solution, you know where to find us.
So, we’re still wondering, how are we supposed to stay cool this summer?
