Summer's coming...

Its supposed to be spring but feels like summer and that too in Bangalore. Wonder howz Chennai. Heat rashes, sweaty clothes and the harsh sun. The good side is the taste of cool water, the promising mango season and summer fruits.

How to make the most out of your summer:

a)Drink lots of water
Water keeps your body cool. In summer one tends to loose a lot of moisture through perspiration and respiration. Water keeps you cool, cleans your system and brings a glow to your skin. Don't worry about the number of trips you need to make to the toilet.

b)Have lots of cool drinks like coconut water and fresh fruit juices.
Avoid frizzy drinks as not only do they char away your digestive system but also add a lot of calories and in turn fat on your body.

c) Wear bright pastel shades.
Dark clothes absorb heat fast.Bright reflect light and this way less heat. This keeps the hot suns blaze away from you. You not feel cool but look cool too. White, yellow, light pinks and blues. These are summers colors.

d) Go outdoors
Make the most of the summer and exercise a lot. Go jogging, running, play outdoor games like badmintion, squash, lawn tennis. The heats on and this will make your body sweat. Making all those extra kilo's drain away faster

e) Coconut oil is in
Forget your chemical moisturiser. Try something totally natural like coconut oil as your moisturiser. It makes skin soft and supple. Acts as a lubricant and keeps away the breaking skin.

f) Have light meals
With the temperature up, the body tends to be sleepy especially in the afternoons. Therefore, have light meals with more roti's than rice. This will keep you awake at school and work.

g)Have a ball
Summer's the time to go for picnic's, enjoy school vacation, and learn something new. Make the most of the vacation by being busy always instead of becoming a couch potato. Keep away summer programmes for the winter season.
Till then.. Enjoy the last days of spring.
