BEAT THE HEAT

Hello World,

Its been crazy hot this summer. I am not gonna complain because it is better then snow… WAY BETTER. NYC is a bake fest and I know back home in the DMV isn’t any better. I know we have our own ways of staying cool during the summer but I want to give you MY WAYS OF STAYING COOL DURING SUMMER!!!!

COLD WATER:

When I was younger I was a soda junkie(Neal Fact) but as I got older I figured out it was not good for me and water is awesome. As an athlete I drank a lot of sports drinks and water but I always took water for granted, I thought of it as a chore, something I had to do but I realized that water cools our machine(body) down and it is a great way to cool yourself down during these hot days. Another great thing about water is… wait for it… ITS FREE!!! When I’m feeling myself ill get a Fiji or Smartwater but I usually just get a gallon of 80 cent water. Whatever you like.

SHORTS:

I used to be all about big, long shorts but if I am not playing ball it is above the knee for me. Less is more. The more fabric that covers my body the more my body sweats so I try to keep it simple. My shorts are not at my balls unless I’m on the beach posing for a photo shoot or doing water aerobics in the ocean but I do keep my shorts a little above the knee. Shorts are called SHORTS for a reason.

TANK TOPS

I literally got sick of sweating out EVERY shirt I wore so I wear a tank when I can. I have found that I sweat A LOT less and I still look pretty stylish in a tank top so ill go with it.

SLEEVE ROLL:

Even though it feels like satan’s playground outside I sometimes want to throw on a sports shirt(I didn’t buy it to sit in my closet). I roll the sleeves to about my elbows and it usually gets the job done but if it is 90+ I will probably…

SHORT SLEEVES

Sport shirts, Golf shirts, V-Necks, Crew Necks, SHORT SLEEVES!!! If your job or profession allows you to wear short sleeves, DO IT. Part of being stylish is being comfortable in what you are wearing so do what is best for you.

VITAL POLOS

There are a lot more things I do to keep cool in the summer like put my underwear in the freezer and take cold showers but remember… OWN IT, find your own ways of keeping cool in this hot summer and if you do have some interesting ways over keeping cool let us know
