Surviving the heat weather in Nigeria

Hi Sweeties, Its no news that the heat weather in Nigeria is so on us! Chooo...even while bathing, you are sweating , lolz. Infact, everyone looks so stressed by evening as a result of the heat stress on us.

Below are some tips to reduce the heat stress this period:

• Try as much as possible to bathe regularly and always bathe at night before sleeping.
• Wear cotton clothes during this period. This is important as cotton clothes absorbs heat better than other textiles. Also, use cotton bedspread and pillow cases.
• Open up windows and doors to allow air and cross-ventilation into the house. If you do not have "netted" doors and windows, please do so to avoid mosquitoes and other rodents from entering into your home.
• Make use of umbrellas and sunshades when walking under the sun. This would protect your skin and eyes.
• The light situation in Nigeria is currently terrible, however on days when there is power supply, ensure to use air conditioning and the fan to circulate the air.
• If you can, wear clothes that are light in material. Try as much as possible to avoid wearing long sleeves especially if you are not always in a cool environment.
• Drink a lot of cold refreshing water regularly as the tendency to feel dehydrated is high in this period.
• Take a break off work to move around and exercise your body as heat also tends to cramp the muscles
• Finally, take a walk at evenings as much as you can.

I hope the above tips help us survive this heat period. Have a beautiful weekend darlings!
