When it’s especially hot, I’ll whip out my water gun and shoot at my boyfriend. There’s only one and it always turns into a tug-of-war battle.

I stick Korean face sheet masks in my fridge so they’re nice and cold. When I use them at night, they cool me down and give my skin the refresher it needs after a long day. A double win!

Costco’s produce section: You can cool off while doing your grocery shopping. Pick up some fresh broccoli, mini bell peppers and organic blueberries in a room with the air conditioning on full blast. That feels so good.
