Tuesday Tips for a Safe Summer




It’s summer! Well at least for the northern hemisphere, but eventually it will be summer where ever you are. Here are some important safety tips that you should keep in mind for this sunny season.



Drink Water: I am guilty for not drinking enough water, but hey, I’m trying to change. Dehydration is more likely to happen if you are out in the sun and not filling yourself with fluids. If you don’t like the taste of water, try using Crystal Light or those Mio things (though I’ve never tried them but I hear they are tasty).




Eat an Apple: If you are having an uneventful summer, sometimes you start to eat random snack foods in your house without realizing it. If you find yourself in that situation, grab an apple! Not only is an apple very filling, but it is low-cal and 84% water, which will keep you hydrated.





Wear Sunscreen/Sunblock: It is SO important to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. I suggest you get some type of lotion that suits your needs in order to avoid sunburn. If you would like to find out if you are a Sunblock or Sunscreen person, read my previous blog post! http://mitsege.blogspot.com/2012/06/thrifty-thursday.html




Wear Sunglasses: Like you should protect your skin, you should protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. As well as protection, it is a key safety feature. Sun creates glare that can blur vision when driving. Also, because a less forceful light is entering your eyes, sunglasses improve vision and reduce eyestrain/headache.







Those are my summer tips. Stay safe everyone!
