One of the best things I found when I was having hot flashes (never took hormones) was to drink ice water.  This also helped when we lost power a couple of years ago in June and temps were high 90's.

And if all else fails, pour the ice water on your head.

The hotter the better for me! I LOVE Summer! I get out of the house and go for one of my daily power walks and sweat all of the impurities out of my body! What a great feeling!

Then why do you live in MI? Makes no sense if you love hot weather.

Chunks of ice cold watermelon. 🍉

@RetRN , you're 100% correct! Great reply!    :-)

However, most likely she will not see your reply. She always says that she never goes back to any post - she makes a comment "and moves-on"!

Since we love the hot, tropical weather, we go to the beach!

I've been hooked on Lindy's Italian Ice...orange with a vanilla ice cream swirl through it. Cools me down like nothing else.

An OUTSHINE LIME POPSICLE does the trick!  So refreshing and helps me keep cool....

Ice water and watching Shark shows on National Geographic channel. All the water scenes are cooling to me. The underwater photography is amazing.

We have ceiling fans in every room except the kitchen and bathrooms. They lower the temp in the room by 4 degrees and that is a big help.  Iced tea or water in my big YETI. Uo makes a difference. Fill with ice in the morning and it lasts all day. It is currently 107 outside and feels like 114. No rain since June 3 and no end in sight for triple digits. This is our 31st consecutive day of triple digits. The humidity now is 55%. It can make you weak when you walk outside. We are just staying inside as much as possible. No major appliances between 2 and 9 pm, thermostats at 76 or higher, and plenty of water. DH and I both have health conditions that make the heat even more dangerous. We are under a excessive heat warning.
