With rising temperatures, we all need to find ways to stay cool

Many cities, such as Chicago, experienced temperatures in excess of 100 degrees for back-to-back days

1. Lounge around with a fan: the Vornado Pivot Personal air fan is a portable, stylish, and quiet fan with a lot of power for its small size

2. Use the A/C to get relief from extreme heat: The PHC08LY quickly and efficiently lowers a room's temperature

4. Relax in the pool: Another great way to cool off is by partaking in the quintessential summer activity—taking a dip in a pool

3. Make sure you’re getting enough fluids: It's really no surprise that making sure we stay hydrated with a steady supply of H2O is of the utmost importance

5. Wear breathable clothing: This helps sweat evaporate and lowers the rate of sweat forming in the first place

6. Eat homemade ice cream: Perhaps the most fun way to beat the heat is by eating a nice, cold serving of ice cream
