This summer in Australia is already ramping up to be a hot one, so it pays to be prepared and to take steps to keep cool, safe and happy in the summer sun!
Keep hydrated with a bottle of water on you at all times, most beaches and malls have a water fountain so you can re-fill, re-hydrate and carry on with your day. Also encourage hydration by making fun ice cubes and ice balls for juices, cordials and punches. A fun way to enjoy a refreshing drink!
Little ones need lots of shade, so choose toys, which keep them out of the sun, or ones that involve a splash in some cool water! There are many types of paddling pools and water games to keep children of any age interested and the bonus is that most of these kinds of toys are easy on the pocket!
Keep covered. Wear a hat, wrap your shoulders with a scarf to prevent aging sunburn and pop a sundress on in the middle of the day when it is hottest to maintain a healthy tan without unsightly sunburn, marks and possible sunstroke.
Most importantly, slip, slop, slap that sunscreen on at regular intervals to be truly sun smart and have a wonderful, comfortable summer!
