A slow but steady stream of criticism to the MySpace, Friendster, Cobrasnake set appeared from the onset of when these social networking sites and sites devoted to raising ordinary people to the status of celebrity popped up.

For as much as people were fascinated with the idea that an ordinary person’s picture could be seen from anywhere on the world via the Internet, an emerging group of people have continued to argue that the Internet has led to the downfall of culture as more people hail the likes of individuals who have not necessarily done much of anything (other than boast maybe 1 million and counting MySpace friends or had their pictures snapped in various L.A. hot spots) to gain their celebrity.

So, when Cory Kennedy, the 17-year-old high school senior, was featured on the cover of Nylon magazine’s October issue it may have been enough to ponder in what direction the Internet is taking us.

After all, Kennedy became famous for her blog about her life and pictures posted by Mark the Cobrasnake who takes pictures of people at Los Angeles clubs. She’s hailed as “stylish” and a “fashionista” quite possibly more so because people can’t quite make out the jumbled mix of layers she is often wearing. And so instead of looking at her as dressing like some bag lady, she’s viewed as avant garde. And her jaded cynicism about how she can’t wait to get out of high school (because she doesn’t fit in) so that she can go to college and get on with “my adult life” (as she told Nylon) just seems so regular that it baffles anyone asking what’s so great about her. Through her vlogs, she was able to getfans and build her network on the realm of social media. Indeed, social media platforms are a new area where people can showcase their skills and talent so they can become an amateur celebrity.

So, the greatest question is what she and others like her – Internet celebrities – will do with their fame since their 15 minutes came quick enough via the web. What wonderful talent or gift do they have to offer other than being normal? Well, Tila Tequila seemed to take her fame as a ticket to get on TV so that she could be the host of her own reality show where she attempts to look for love in the most contrived way possible.

And, if all of a sudden American culture is fascinated with the amateur, then what does that mean? We love ourselves? If that were the case then there would be no such thing as the concept of celebrity since we would all be celebrities.

We certainly don’t hail do-gooders or people in charities with as much respect and awe as we do a Cory Kennedy or Tila Tequila. So, maybe the fascination is nothing more than a mob mentality. The more people become fascinated with the idea that Joe Blow off the street is acceptable to the masses, the more that person becomes “famous.”

The whole idea may leave an unsettling taste in the mouths of people who lambast the whole system for bringing down American values and culture, but no one can certainly hate the people who have been able to manipulate the whole situation. After all, if people are dumb enough to eat it up, then why not rise to the likes of a Cory Kennedy or Tila Tequila if it can get you somewhere else in the world? See? These people may actually have a bit of intelligence after all.

Cancer among dogs has increased in recent years with many veterinarians unable to pinpoint specific health risks for malignancy. If your dog has been diagnosed with cancer, you may be quite surprised by the diagnosis and even more surprised by the limited offerings of treatment made available. As a dog lover, it is important to understand not only what physical health treatment is available to canines with cancer but also the psychological effects and treatment that may arise.

Depression among human cancer patients is quite common. Just as in humans, dogs diagnosed with cancer also have an increased risk for depressive symptoms. While those depressive symptoms in your dog may be vastly different than what you may see in a person with cancer, it is depression nonetheless. In fact, some of the initial symptoms may be quite familiar to you.

Signs of depression in a dog with cancer will often first appear as lack of vitality. While the cancer complication and associated medical treatment can certainly attribute to your dog’s depression and lack of vitality, there may be a general change in neurochemical composition which also exacerbates your dog’s mental stimulation. If your dog appears more fatigued and disinterested than usual, this is definitely a sign of doggie depression. As a dog owner, you will want to talk with your dog’s veterinarian about the treatment options from a psychological standpoint.

When we reference psychological treatment for dogs, we are, obviously, not recommending talk therapy. Instead, dogs and learn to overcome depressive symptoms, in response to cancer, by engaging in other types of doggie therapy. Therapy for canines may include, for the most part, play therapy. A component of music therapy can also be included which would involve exposing your dog to specific types of music which are believed to be mentally stimulating. To help you out, look at these guys for more helpful and reliable information on how you can deal with your dog that has depression and cancer. Always look for articles and content online that can help you to do the right thing.

In some doggie daycare facilities, there are combination approaches to managing dog’s with depression and cancer. For example, dog daycare locations may offer individual play therapy and group play therapy for your dog, engaging them in activities with other dogs. By combining music, your dog is mentally stimulated. At home, you can mimic these same programs by engaging your dog in activities that are suitable to their physical activity level. If, however, your dog is physically unable to engage in activity, even playing music and entertaining your dog with your own play or dance can be mentally stimulating.

Cancer is a challenging health complication to treat in dogs. In many cases, dogs succumb to the health complication often experiencing a reduced quality of life due to psychological complications that arise as well. To assist your dog through this health transition in his life, consider therapy programs that are designed to mentally stimulate your dog as this will help to reduce the cancer-related depression and associated depressive symptoms in your dog.

There are a lot of sicknesses out there for your cat. One of the most dangerous illness and one that causes the most death is rabies. Your cat can have symptoms of cat rabies without even you knowing it! Also be aware of the symptoms of cat rabies.

Your cat can be exposed to rabies if he was bitten by a sick animal, if one of his wounds came in contact with saliva, secretion or blood of an infected animal or even after being in an area with animals such as a vet clinic or even your household when a new cat comes in. You will want to have him vaccinated regularly to prevent the illness.

If he does get the illness, you will see one of the following symptoms of cat rabies:

Your cat moves a lot or is agitated. You cat can have fever. He can show signs of having a headache. He can be irrigable. He might go into cardiac arrest. He can have weakness or even paralysis in one or several parts of its body. This can be hard to monitor, but he could have difficulty purring. He might have a hard time swallowing. He could show signs of excessive tears or salivation. He could show itching or pain at the site of a bite.

This is the most common telltale sign of rabies in cats because they start mewling a little too loudly to show their discomfort and would spit out the food fed to him, which is quite a drastic change to his personality that you can read more about if you check my site online.

If you see any of these symptoms, it’s imperative that you go to your vet immediately. If the animal that bit your cat is available, bring that animal with you. Tests can be made to insure your cat was really bitten by an infected animal.

Once your cat gets infected, the rabies virus will proliferate in the muscle and may not be easy to detect for a few months. There might be no symptoms whatsoever. When the symptoms start to appear maybe 1 to 3 months after the initial infection, the disease will progress in the animal’s central nervous system. Death if untreated can occur after 4 to 5 days.

The first symptom of cat rabies will probably be the change in its behavior. If he doesn’t eat, or drink anymore, doesn’t want to be petted, and hides in some odd corner of your house, this is cause for alarm. After that, you might see in your loved animal, signs of viciousness and maybe some paralysis. If your cat is vicious, you will want to be really careful not to be bitten or scratched by him so you do not get infected too. If you are, then you should immediately consult a doctor.

If you bring your cat to your vet in time, there might be a chance for him to be cured. He will have to receive antibiotics injections every month for the next 5 months. Of course the vet bill will go with that, but you stand the chance that your cat will have spent one of his nine lives but will still be amongst the living and hopefully spend many more years with you.

Since dogs can’t talk, it’s the responsibility of pet owners to notice unusual behavior, especially when it comes to their health. Dogs are prone to urinary tract infections (UTI) and this can lead to more conditions like inflammations, bladder or kidney stones.

There are signs you can watch out for to indicate a problem with your dog’s urinary tract. If you notice incontinence, bladder leaking, difficulty in urinating, or pain, these are usually positive signs of an infection. Here are some more specific questions you could use as a checklist whenever you see something different with your dog.

How old is your dog? The usual age when dogs start to experience UTI and bladder stones is from age 5 to 12. The older they are, the more vulnerable they become.

Does your dog show signs of incontinence? Incontinence is when your dog cannot control his urine. It is also called leaking, and generally is a symptom of an infection especially if it happens while he is resting.

How many fluids is your dog taking daily? Dogs need water because this is the best way he can clean his system of bacteria. If he is not drinking enough clean water, he will be more prone to infection and eventually bladder stones. You should also make sure that he does not drink unclean water since this will definitely stimulate a health problem.

Does your dog urinate normally? If your dog has an infection, he will have a hard time urinating, plus he may experience pain and there may be traces of blood in his urine. If this is happening, then it is a definite sign that something is wrong internally.

Is your dog on any medication? Sometimes, medicine can cause an adverse reaction in dogs. If he is on any medication, consult the vet about the possible ill effects and how to deal with them. They will give you more information and tips on how to take care of your dogs especially during their medication. It is always better to ask advice or help from the experts. They know exactly how they can help you with your pets.

Is your dog exhibiting unusual behavior? If suddenly your dog seems lethargic and does not have much appetite, then you should schedule a vet visit because dogs usually never refuse food, and like to run about.

At the vet, expect tests to be done on your dog’s urine and blood. The results of these test will determine the cause of his problems, and if your vet thinks that there may be stones in the bladder, he may request that an X-ray be done. In some cases, an ultrasound will also be done to get a better picture of your dog’s urinary tract.

Treatment should follow immediately. If the cause is medical, drugs like antibiotics will be prescribed. It may be that your dog is experiencing behavior problems due to stress or change of environment. Treatment of this problem can be solve with re-training and possibly more attention from you.

When your dog has been successfully treated, you can take some steps to make sure that it does not happen again. When your dog gets an infection due to bacteria in his system, it could be because he lacks enough fluids to wash out the toxins, or the urine’s composition is not balanced.

You can solve this by increasing his daily fluid intake and switching to canned food which are moist compared to dry dog food. To restore a good Ph level in your dog’s urine, look for natural supplements that concentrate on the urinary tract system. These measures will keep your dog happy and healthy forever.

Bringing home a cute little puppy is always a joy. Not only are you kids going to enjoy him, but he is also going to cure any bit of loneliness that you may have. You are going to need to remember that even though this is exciting, it is also very stressful for your four legged friend. You might be wondering the easiest way to make this transition an easy one. Below are a few ways to make the bringing home process a little smoother.

First night Home

The first night is always the most important. It will determine how well you and your new puppy with get along, as well as how your puppy reacts to new things. How you react to your puppy is also teaching him things about you and your way of life. Always remember that when getting a puppy it is important to show him that you are the one in control and that some behavior is just not acceptable.

Starting Off On the Right Foot

When you bring this puppy inside you are going to need to treat him how you want him to be treated. Greet him with love and affection and he will remember this and show you the same when you ceom home. Also, teach him right from wrong. If your puppy is into jumping and you don’t think this is acceptable, tell him no sternly and walk away from the situation. Remember, showing your dog attention is appealing to him, any attention is better than no attention

Making the Move Easier

I’m sure that the first night you bring him home youre going to want to love on your new addition. You are going to need to understand that this is a new place for him and that he is going to need some time to check out his surrondings. Let him sniff around a little, and dont follow behind him the whole way. Sometimes too much attention is a bad thing and may make him want to be alone more than with you. Learn his personality before you start cudding up to him.

Getting Through The First Night

Now that you’ve learned this youre going to have to put it to the test. More than likely your little pup is going to get lonely when its time for bed. You are going to have to let him cry. If you get up every few hours to comfort him and let him know everything is okay then he is going to get used to this and expect it every night from there on out. If you get up often he is going to understand taht to get attention he just needs to cry. Its only one night, and soon he will be used to not having you around all the time and things will go back to how they should be.

If you want to buy a Whippet puppy or adult Whippet, adoption may also be a good option for your family. Whippets make excellent pets and in general are very easy to get along with. Some Whippets for adoption may not be the right family dog due to mistreatment or neglect from the past owner but for the most part, Whippets are great pets no matter where or how you get one.

Whippets come in many colors and patterns. No coloring or pattern is considered undesirable should you wish to show your Whippet in competitions.

Many breeders will not give you the paperwork on the dog unless you have the dog spayed or neutered which will be an issue if you wish to show the dog or breed the whippet. This should be discussed with the breeder before purchase. Most whippet breeders are very careful about this matter as they try not to destroy the whippet breed with inbreeding or puppy mills. Because of this, you will have a very difficult time trying to find a whippet at a puppy shop. At the social site, the correct information will be available at the Homepage at social networking sites. The breed of the puppies will be selected as per the requirement of the person. The purchase of the pets after checking the reviews will be beneficial. The person should be careful for the purchase of the pets. 

If you are looking to adopt a whippet, there are many whippet rescues. These rescues rarely have puppies and there are typically very few adult dogs available for rescue. As a general rule, you will not find a pure bred whippet in a shelter. If they should get one, it will be adopted immediately.

Whippets range in size from 18 inches to 22 inches at the shoulder and from 25 pounds to 40 pounds but naturally, some may be slightly bigger or smaller. These measurements are only an estimate. The female whippets are generally smaller than the males.

Whippets resemble greyhound dogs, only smaller. All though whippets are not greyhounds, whippet ancestral blood lines may be traced back to the greyhound with mixed breeding. The Italian greyhound is also not a whippet. An Italian greyhound is actually a toy breed of the greyhound. Whippets do share some of the same qualities as greyhounds and the Italian greyhound. They absolutely love attention, playtime and chasing small animals.

As a general rule, whippets will mellow with age or by the time they are 2 years old. Whippet puppies can be very energetic and mischievous getting into anything and everything. All whippets will want to sleep on your couch or your bed since they have very little fat on their bodies. It is best to keep whippets crate trained with a thick padded cushion for comfort if you do not want them to sit on your furniture. A crate will also provide your whippet with a safe place to hide out and rest.

Are Whippets good with children? I’ve asked this question many times and have always come up with the same answer, the answer is yes. Whippets are very good family dogs.

As with any dog, your dog should be put away when you have children visiting for both the safety of your pet and other children. Children love to run and as I mentioned earlier, whippets love to chase. Every responsible dog owner will tell you that your dog, no matter what the breed, should never be left alone with a child.

Today, it is 95 degrees outside, but its 78 degrees in my house. I do not have air conditioning. Just how do I do it?

I have some ideas that may help you beat the summer heat even if you do not have air conditioning. These tips may also help you save on that electric bill if you do have air conditioning.

Everyone is worried about the electricity bills skyrocketing ever since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out where people are confined to their homes due to lockdown where the heat forced them to use their blaux portable ac way too often but this is about something else.

I have to start with the importance of insulation. If you really want to keep the heat out in the summer and the heat inside in the winter, this is all too important. Yes, it can be an expensive fix to your heat issue, but it is well worth it in the long run. Also, most states do have a state funded Home Weatherization Program. With this, a state approved contractor will do the work of insulating your home. You then pay little or nothing if you fall within the income guidelines. In Ohio, the Home Weatherization Program is good for rented as well as owner occupied homes and mobile homes. Do yourself a favor and check your state’s website to see if you qualify for a Home Weatherization Program.

The next thing you need to check is your windows to see if the heat is entering around them. Make sure that all of your windows are properly caulked and sealed. My home was built in the early 1940’s. It’s a small brick 2 story bungalow. I have the old vertical crank out windows in metal frames. Also, all of my window sills are the same Italian marble as my living room fireplace. Call it vanity, but I just couldn’t bring myself to replace the windows because I would lose my window sills too. This alone kept me from thinking about window air conditioners simply because they won’t fit. However, I was still able to help my windows keep the heat out. I made a trip to my local hardware store and found reflective heat control window film. What I chose was Gila Platinum Heat Control Window Film. I was able to get a 4ft x 15ft roll for under $50.00. If you have ever worked with contact paper, it’s almost like that, but worse. It does tend to roll back on itself and stick to itself if you’re not careful. I strongly suggest practicing with it before actually applying it to your windows. A little trick I learned was how to remove the air bubbles. Use a small straight pin to prick a whole in the bubble and rub the air out. Yes, it does take some practice but well worth the results.

Now, let’s move on to your window coverings and how they help to keep the heat out. I used to be a curtain and drape junkie. I was forever changing them. In the spring, I would put up nice light summer drapes. In the fall, my heavy insulated drapes would be hung. I had to give up on the whole mini blind idea years ago due to my cats destroying them. I stopped changing them a few years ago. Why? Because those nice heavy insulated drapes that are marketed in the winter for keeping all that cold air outside also work quite well at keeping the heat out in the summer.

In order for the preceeding heat reduction tips to work, it is imperative that you pay attention to your local weather report. Just because its 75 comfortable degrees one day doesn’t mean it won’t be 94 hot degrees the next day. If the heat is headed your way, close up your house. No less than 24 hours before the weatherman says it’s going to be warmer outside than I want it to be inside, I close everything. This way, I am able to maintain the temperature inside my house where I want it. Maybe someday I’ll consider central air. Until that day comes, I’ll keep my $50.00 a month electric bill in the hot summer months. For me, keeping my home cool this way just makes sense and saves me allot of cents in the process.

There is much to enjoy outside during the warmer months, but a heat advisory warning can bring summer fun to a screeching halt. A heat advisory warning is issued when heat index temperatures will reach at least 105 degrees with nighttime temperatures going no lower than 80 degrees. High humidity is commonly an added factor during a heat advisory. Use these tips to keep your family safe and cool during this often dangerous time.

Don’t work too long in the full sun. If this cannot be avoided, try and wear a hat. Sunscreen is also helpful in this situation. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water. Take frequent breaks from work and pace yourself. The same goes for working in poorly ventilated areas. This is a good time to try out some ‘cool’ gear like the Watersorb neck band or a personal travel fan. If you’re working near home or a water hose, refresh yourself with a cool shower occasionally.

Wearing clothes with lighter colors can help. Dark colors absorb more sunlight and heat. Loose-fitting clothes are also beneficial in hot conditions.

Remember to drink lots of liquids and keep a supply nearby at all times. This is a great time to use portable coolers. A good idea is to keep a small cooler filled with ice and water with you. You can reuse water bottles for this purpose. Try adding a few drops of lemon or lime juice to ice cold water to add some refreshing kick.

Children and the elderly are at special risk during these times. Check up on elderly members of your friends and family. If they need help, you can take them to the nearest area cooling center. Cooling centers have shade and water available. Often these centers will have medical help and social services representatives who can aid with ongoing care. Check in on your elderly neighbors too. They might not have friends or family to assist them should they need help. Try and keep children inside in an air conditioned area. Remember never to leave children or pets in a vehicle for any amount of time. Temperatures in a parked vehicle can rise rapidly even with the windows rolled down.

Sometimes a heat advisory can bring poor air quality conditions with it. Check your local weather media or try the National Weather Service web site for more information on the air quality in your area. You might want to cut down on the amount of travel you’re planning when air conditions are bad, if possible.

Air conditioners are considered life savers in this unbearable heat that makes summers quite hot and humid but if you want a good brand then a research about blaux portable ac reviews online can do wonders to make up your mind.

Staying indoors doesn’t have to boring! Try dusting off those board games in the closet or whip up a batch of homemade ice cream. The Family Corner website also has great ideas for fun indoor activities for you and your children.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is certainly popular right now. It is being advertised on TV, and with news on some states and countries legalizing them. In this article, we will discuss the science behind CBD, its component, and how it works when ingested. If you are looking for American Shaman coupon discount codes, please proceed on this website https://cbdnerds.com/cbd-american-shaman-coupon-and-reviews. Without further ado, let’s start:

The difference between cannabidiol and marijuana

CBD is a potent component of cannabis, also known as marijuana. Although CBD is a crucial active ingredient of medicinal marijuana, it is different in that CBD is obtained from hemp, not marijuana. Hemp plants are cousins of marijuana plants, however, they are not the same. This difference causes a major distinction between cannabidiol and marijuana – CBD does not cause the intoxicated or “high” feeling caused by marijuana in humans, and there is currently no proof that CBD causes health problems in people using them.

The legality of CBD

CBD is easily purchasable in the majority of the U.S., however there is still a large gray area on its legality. Every state have regulations that allows CBD with various limitations. Meanwhile, the U.S. government places CBD in the same classification as marijuana, however it is not enforced all the time. In other parts of the world, the legality of marijuana and CBD is also in a legal gray area, with some progressive places allowing its medical and even recreational uses, however, most countries still ban it by default.

Studies surrounding the health benefits of CBD

CBD has long been recognized as a remedy for a variety of medical problems. The most potent scientific proof for CBD is its success in dealing with a number of epilepsy syndromes, like Dravet syndrome as well as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Both of these epileptic syndromes normally are not affected by typical antiseizure medicines. In a number of research, CBD has lessened the amount of seizure attacks, and in a few cases, the seizures were stopped entirely.

There are a lot of proof on the internet about kids who were remedied with CBD, and they are truly remarkable. Not too long ago, the FDA has 

Videos of the effects of CBD on these children and their seizures are readily available on the Internet for viewing, and they are quite striking. Recently the FDA authorized Epidiolex, a CBD medicine specifically for the conditions mentioned above.

CBD is normally utilized to deal with stress and anxiety, as well as for patients that are suffering from insomnia. CBD may possibly provide a choice for dealing with various kinds of chronic pain as well. According to a study that was published in the European Journal of Pain, CBD provides relief to chronic pain when applied topically. This is because CBD suppresses inflammatory as well as neuropathic ache, which is two of the hardest kinds of chronic pain to take care of. Havings said that more studies are definitely needed in this area.

If you’ve been dieting for longer than five minutes, you understand the meaning of the “final round” of your weight loss plan all too well. Individuals losing large amounts of weight tend to have “rounds” of weight loss throughout their journeys. Lose twenty pounds, wait two months, then start again. Sound familiar? When we reach a specific goal, we tend to tell ourselves that it’s time to take a break and adjust to our new diet and exercise habits. While this is normal, it can also lead to seemingly never-ending plateaus due to a lack of motivation. After all, you look and feel so much better as you reach each new goal that it’s hard to tell yourself to get moving again for an even harder session. To break past that mentality and prepare for reaching your final weight loss goal, try keeping the following tips in mind.

Of course, you know to get back into the swing of things slowly. Shave off 50-100 calories from each meal, and add ten to fifteen minutes of exercise to your routine. You’ve come a long way from where you started, and it’s going to take just a bit more effort to break past those final goals. Ease into your weight loss plan again with moderation.

As the pounds begin to fall back off (which may take a week or two, so be patient), step up your reward system. This is big, after all, so treat yourself accordingly. While many long term dieters already use a reward system of some sort to motivate themselves toward a far-off goal, start rewarding yourself for every single pound lost once you enter the final 10-20 pound weight loss phase. Each week, have a small reward in place for one pound of weight loss, a slightly larger reward for losing two pounds, etc. Why? Because the closer you get to your weight loss goal, the more difficult it becomes to lose each and every pound. The effort intensifies, and rewards for every milestone will help keep you motivated and on track.

A common problem among long-term dieters is reaching the point where another twenty pounds or so lost would mean being at their goal, but apathy begins to set in. They begin to feel “good enough” where they are and lack the determination to keep going until the very end. When this happens, begin doing daily “diet devotionals” by reading clips of weight loss stories that inspire you. Stories from those who stuck it out to the end are featured in weight loss magazines every month, so clip out those that impress you as you go for a daily pick-me-up reference. Begin each morning by reviewing one that will remind you of your goals.

Of course, while motivation from others is wonderful, the best motivation is your own progress. To prepare for the journey to your final weight loss goal, start a weight loss scrapbook. Paste a picture of yourself at your current size on the first page, and write down your current weight next to your photo. Because long-term dieters tend to let how far they’ve come keep them from going any further (again, the “good enough” mentality kicks in), giving yourself a diary of your progress from your new “starting point” will help you get in the right mindset for your final goal.

Furthermore, you may also consider taking weight loss supplement like leptoconnect. This will support your diet and system so you can achieve your desired weight. This product is also made from natural ingredients so you can assure that it is very safe to take.

On that note, begin tracking your new weight loss journey with a progress graph. Many websites offer free tracking tools including graphs that track your weight loss as you go. Print out your updated graph each week to keep that motivational sense of urgency flowing.

Finally, start preparing for the lifestyle you will lead at your goal weight by creating a recipe book filled with creative snack and meal ideas that are within your new caloric limits. Because losing weight and keeping it off is a lifetime commitment, you’ll find sticking to your diet much easier if meal planning isn’t such a bother. Over time your stomach will adjust to let you know when enough is enough, but until then it might be a good idea to control portions with pre-calculated recipes created during your journey.

Remember, you didn’t come this far in your weight loss program to stop now. Keep your head down and run hard. The finish line is within your reach.

With the coming of the summer heat means blasting air conditioners and an increase of water usage. Not only is this bad for the environment, but it is going to be bad for the wallet as well. There are more eco-friendly, and wallet friendly, ways to stay cool in the blistering heat.

Go where there is water

Go to your nearest beach, indoor swimming pool or water park and try to walk there if possible. Take advantage of water that will be there whether or not you are instead of running your own water. It is an eco-friendly way to have some summer fun and stay cool in the process.

Go where there is already air conditioning

Head to places like the movies or library where the air conditioning runs all day and some hours at night. Another option is to get together with friends at one person’s home. If a person is there, it means that the air conditioner is not running at their house. You can take turns at each other’s houses each time you get together.

Everyone has an air conditioner installed in their homes these days as it has become a necessity during peak summers that are cruelly intolerable for most folks and one of the best brands is blaux portable ac where you have certain unique features to look forward to.

Wear the right clothing

Dark clothes attract heat, which means you are going to feel quite a bit hotter than if you wear light clothes. Opt for white or pastel colors instead of darker colors such as brown or black. In addition, wear clothing that you feel cool in such as tank tops, dresses or shorts instead of long pants or t-shirts.

Air-dry instead of towel dry

If you have ever come out of the shower and opened the bathroom door, you know how your body feels as the cold air hits your skin. Take advantage of this feeling in order to cool down a bit. It feels refreshing and it is less towels that you have to wash.

Use a fan

A fan uses much less electricity than an air conditioner. Use a fan in the room that you will be in. While you may want to cool off every room in your home, there is no use in having them cool if no one is going to be in there.

Change to room darkening shades in the summer

Instead of having regular blinds, change to room darkening shades. It is an eco-friendly way to keep the light out and prevent your room from heating up. If you have a problem getting up in the morning, you may want to use these in rooms other than your bedroom.

Use a mini water-misting fan

When I went to an amusement park, I had no problem walking around the entire day in 90-degree temperatures because I had a mini water-misting fan that I carried with me. I was cool and did not get overheated. This is great to use whether you are out or at home.

Eat frozen treats

Frozen treats keep you feeling cool during the hot weather. You can buy a package of popsicle sticks from a craft store, pour some juice into an ice cube tray, and then put the popsicle sticks in when the treats are almost frozen. The sticks can be reused whenever you make your next set.

There are plenty of eco-friendly, inexpensive ways to stay cool in summer. Before you turn on the air conditioner, do what you can to cool yourself off first by trying other alternatives. It is better for the environment and can end up saving you quite a bit of money.
