7 Hot Weather Life Hacks To Keep You Cool

Summer is a fun season until you feel that intense heat along with it. But worry no more; these seven weather life hacks to keep you cool from Household Hacker on Youtube will save you from heat. With these simple yet easy steps, you can feel coolness even without an air conditioner; you can also entertain guests without worrying about how to keep the beverages cool. Watch the video tutorial below to learn these steps. 

#1 BBQ Cups

Get some large and small plastic cups. Grab a bbq skewer and carefully push it through the big cups. Pop out that skewer and put the smaller cups inside as you drive the skewer through the whole batch. Fill the entire thing with water, getting each cup to an equal level, and then place it in the freezer for a couple of hours after centering the small cups. Remove the skewers once you’re done and use the warmth of your hands to heat up the sides for quick removal. You can use this if you want to enjoy a nice cold beverage in the heat.

#2 Cardboard Cooler

Measure out the dimensions of the cardboard and then cut out some leftover bubble wrap to fit inside. Wrap your cut-outs in aluminum foil. Once everything is wrapped up, slip it right into the box, add a few beverages, and dump in some ice.

#3 Ice Block

Grab a medium-sized plastic container and fill it up with water. Place it in the freezer. Once it’s hard, pull it out of the freezer, tug at the container from both sides, and then loosen that ice and dump it out on a hard surface. Toss it in a cooler and add your drinks around it.

#4 Air Conditioner

Place a bowl of ice with a bit of water in front of a rotating fan to mimic an air conditioner. Now, if you’re looking for outdoor fun and don’t have a cooler, then try this ancient cooling tip. Get two terracotta pots one being larger than the other. Scoop some sand into the large one and then place the little one right inside. Now, fill those gaps with a bit more sand until everything is packed in nice and tight. The sand will work as an insulator and keep things cool on the inside. Put this directly in the sun and cover it with a towel and soak it with water. Once the water begins evaporating, it will cause a chilling effect on the inside which can drop the temperature significantly. This will allow you to keep your food and drinks nice and cool even in the sunniest of conditions.

#5 Slushies

Make some simple slushies with juice packs. Pick out your favorite flavor and freeze the pouches for several hours or overnight. Cut the top off of the pouch and eat the slushies with a spoon.

#6 Cooling Spray

Fill a spray bottle with 1 cup of water and then add 15 drops of peppermint essential oil and shake it well. Peppermint oil will give off a cooling effect to make you feel more comfortable.

#7 Ice cubes

Slice up some washed strawberries and lemon. Cut those slices into tiny pieces. Place one slice of lemon and two strawberry slices in each space. Fill the ice cube tray with water and then freeze it up. When it’s done, drop a few of those ice cubes right in a glass of water for a refreshing taste.
