Keeping Cool

Keeping cool…

When I say cool i mean, temperature-wise, not meaning awesome- I am definitely not an authority on that one.
So yeah – it’s definitely summertime here in NYC!
I don’t know if anyone else is currently living in a 200 year old un-insolated attic, but it is HOT.

So with that said, here are 5 Things to Keep You Cool.

And please feel free to leave your own techniques that I may have missed out – hehe.

Nordic Rock
by mocha.uk.com

Are you one of those people who’s ice cubes melt in their drink before they are finished?  I am definitely that person…and it drives me bonkers man! These stone ice cubes are great because they don’t melt the flavour of your drink away. Just place the Nordic Rocks in their own leather pouch in the freezer for about an hour & go for it! Also to boot – they are mined from ancient Swedish pollution-free base rock. And that’s just neat sounding…

Sailboat Popsicle Molds
designed by: Cuisipro

Okay so these are cute right? I liked the different twist on a popsicle mold shape. Usually it’s a rocket…or just a cylindrical shape – so I thought this was creative and classy. I also love how the bottom part of the boat collects the drippings. No more sticky fingers. My boyfriend Phillip and I LOVE to make homemade popsicles – we make them from Orange Juice, Cranberry Juice, etc. And another tip for you – add a splash of Vanilla Soymilk to make it a creamsicle special!

Ice Tea Lemonade

I’m just gonna come right out with it – I love Starbucks. And I am not afraid to say it! In fact, when I first ordered this drink from there – I didn’t know they made these little numbers! Maybe this is a new thing this year? Either way – these definitely will cool you off. Thank you Arnold Palmer for helping to combine these 2 fantastic drink items in history forever.

Air Multiplier
by: Sir Dyson

Did you know that James Dyson is a sir? I mean what’s up with that? I don’t know the full biography of this man  & what he has accomplished, but that seems like a lot of hoo-haw for a ‘suction’ designer. And now he has revealed the Air Multiplier! Or should I say the debt-multiplier. Look man, this fan is cool as hell – really – it’s kick ace looking. But who could ever justify spending $300 on a fan when an AC machine is only $200? A fans a fan in this case…sorry sir.

Paw Cool-Off!
by: cat moms everywhere

As you read above, I live in a 200 year old attic – no joke! So by proximity, my cat does as well. My poor little kitty gets so hot up here, and as a new cat mom, I just feel awful. So my cousin Jenny gave me a some great advice! Drop some ice cubes on the kitchen floor or bath tub and watch as your kitty bats them around. This will be great to cool off her little pads & it’s also riduclously cute to watch.
