Despite being the mildest June\u00a0we’ve had in years, the harsh summer is beginning to rear\u00a0it’s ugly, humid head and, in the past few weeks,\u00a0the weather has been\u00a0heating up. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Because we have yet to manufacture our own personal AC units (Lovin Dubai:\u00a0patent pending) we’ve had to come up with some more interesting\u00a0ways to keep cool during\u00a0the summer months. Here are some of our faves. What ones have you tried?<\/p>\n

1. Pay your other-half\/colleague\/cousin to stand at your side waving a fan<\/h3>\n
Pro’s: You look like an absolute boss with your own personal fan-man.<\/p>\n
Cons: Erm, there are none.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Install a makeshift\u00a0fri-tent in\u00a0your kitchen\u00a0and live in it indefinitely<\/h3>\n
Fri-tent=fridge tent…Incredibly Stupid or Stupidly Incredible…we’ll let you decide.<\/p>\n
$\"Tumblr$ <\/figure>\n
3.\u00a0Have a friend stick\u00a0cool, thin slices of cucumber all over your face\u00a0<\/h3>\n
This actually\u00a0works…apparently. And you can munch on the cucumber once you’re done; Double win!<\/p>\n
$\"Download$ <\/figure>\n
4.\u00a0Repeat the ice\u00a0bucket challenge every half hour\u00a0until your skin is numb to the effects of the ice…and the heat<\/h3>\n
Who knew this charitable cause would have more than one amazing purpose? To ensure maximum body-temp droppage, the ice\u00a0bucket fun will need to be\u00a0continuously\u00a0repeated.\u00a0Expect blisters…<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Try and snag a job\u00a0at\u00a0ski Dubai<\/h3>\n
Spending most of your summer in a man-made icebox is a sure way of keeping your body\u00a0temperature down<\/p>\n
$\"Download$ <\/figure>\n
6. Work up a sweat<\/h3>\n
Why? Because sweating is your body’s natural way of cooling down so why not actually trying it. Not keen on exercise? Don’t worry, even a light stroll in this weather should work up\u00a0a fine layer of perspiration.<\/p>\n
$\"15C56N\"$ <\/figure>\n
7.\u00a0Refuse to get out of the shower until summer is over<\/h3>\n
Your roommates won’t love you for it, but what do you care? You’ve finally found a spot that’s comfortable!<\/p>\n
