It's HOT Outside + August Sponsors

I don’t do heat. I just don’t do it at all. I shut down, it makes me crabby, and plus, I sweat* a lot; I’m just not a pleasant person to be around when it’s hot. And you guys, it’s HOT in Alabama. Like, step-outside-and-it-feels-like-you-walked-into-a-sauna HOT. So how do I cool off? Five words: ice cold water and air conditioning. (There are technically six words there, but I’m not counting the “and,” just so you know.)

I take Bella and Julia on a walk every morning and sometimes the only thing that gets me through that mile is my ice water and knowing I have a cold room waiting for me at the end of our stroll. Any other time I’m outside I’m anxious to either get inside my air-conditioned car or a cool store. Thank you, America, for believing in air conditioning!

Seriously though, I get giddy when summer is over.  It’s easily my least favorite season and I loathe it even more when I live in the south. Seeing and feeling the first change in weather is basically the best day of the year. Give me a cool, crisp day where I get to wear a scarf and have to warm up with a nice warm cup of coffee and I’m a very happy camper. 

I know some of you are already enjoying (the early arrival of) pumpkin spice lattes, and just so you know: I’m incredibly jealous of your cooler weather. But for the rest of us, how do you stay cool when the temps heat up? 

*Do you say sweat or perspire? My
dad hates it when we say sweat. “Animals sweat,” he says, “people
perspire.” To each their own, I suppose. I sweat. Sorry, Papa.

The best way to keep cool in the summer is a ceiling fan and a klondike bar!! Nothing beats it — and these days, they have a flavor for everyone!

Hey y’all, just a heads up that I switched up a few of my sponsorship options. I streamlined things to make it more of a win/win for everyone involved. The spots available are more beneficial for you and will let me give you more attention, which is what it’s all about anyway. If you’re interested in advertising your blog, Esty site, or business on here, check out the sponsor page for more info.

And, because it’s Labor Day weekend and because I’m rolling out these new options, here’s a promo code for you: score 30% off any ad when you use the code SMILE (good through 8.31)! Click here for more info šŸ™‚
