Summer is here. It's getting boiling hot even in the northern regions (from where I am writing this) which made me think of what would be the ultimate thing to do when it's too hot to even think. That's why I want us all do decide once and for all what is a person supposed to do when you get to the point of wanting to even take off your skin just to cool yourself down a little bit more.
Here are some suggestions of what I call special summer treatments. Please choose your favorite and vote for it in the poll in the right column of the blog.
So let's see what is the ultimate cooling treatment. 
1. Beer TreatmentRequired for this is a lot of beer in small bottles (big ones will get too warm as you hold them), big tub of ice or portable refrigerator, kids' pool to dip in your feet and sunscreen to protect your face and body. 
The procedure is you sit on a chair with your feet in the pool. One hand has a beer in it and the other one is free to reach for a new beer. The trick is that the refrigerator or the tub with ice with the rest of the beers is in your reach so you do not have to stand up to get a new beer.
2. Watermelon Treat
You need a big cold watermelon and an umbrella to protect you from the sun. Simply sit on the ground and slowly nibble on the ice cold watermelon. To maximize the pleasure you can treat yourself with a Cosmopolitan or some other type of girl / gossip magazine (the only requirement is that the magazine does not make you think in any way).
3. EZ Dip-it x4000
A big inflatable chair with a glass holder, an improvised anchor and a pool is needed for this one. If you don't have any pool in the near you can also use the ocean. What you do is you drop the anchor in the pool/ocean to prevent you from moving around and wrap one side of the rope to your wrist. You take a big glass of refreshing drink and put it in the glass holder of your EZ Dip-it x4000. Now all you have to do is sit in it, dip your feet in the water and enjoy.
4. Smoothie Blast
You need a blender and huge amounts of fresh fruit. You can use banana, mango, passion fruit, watermelon, peach, pear, melon and put them in a blender. Add a lot of ice cubes and blend. You could also add milk and ice cream to make the smoothie more milky :) For this one the place of relaxation does not matter as a smoothie is already so refreshing you could only over refresh yourself if you do it in a overly cool place.
5. Office Cooldown
As some people simply need to work
through the summer this is a way to cool yourself down in the office environment. All you have to do is ask your boss to be seated right under the air conditioning. Then just remember to bring sweaters as it might get a tad chilly.If your office does not have air conditioning you will unfortunately have to ask for holidays as there is no way to relax in the hot office while you're working. Sorry :(
6. Beached Whale
You need to be on a nice beach (either sand or pebbles will do). Place yourself just at the end of the beach so that half of you body is in the water and the other half is out. Make sure that you are laying down securely so that the waves cannot move you around. Now enjoy the refreshing splash of every single wave. For maximum pleasure you can employ someone to feed you cold grapes.
This one might be a bit expensive but hey, I can dream. If you have a convertible, put the
roof down, get somebody to drive and you sit in the passenger seat. Drive around on highway, empty roads, near the beach or wherever there is not a lot of traffic so you can maintain a steady speed and keep wind in your hear. For the "diva effect" you can hold a scaft in your hands so it flows behind you. I never really understood how that helps the experience but maybe there's something to it.
These are my suggestions for ways to keep yourself cool when heat wave catches up with you. Vote for your favorite one and make sure it wins the title of "The Ultimate Summer Cooldown Method".
Be cool and keep and eye open for News (TM).
