Maybe opt for a ‘staycation’
WHILE cookouts and trips to the beach are great, sometimes it’s also nice to spend a hot summer’s day relaxing in the comfort of home. Especially on those break-the-thermometer days, home might just be the best place to be! Here are simple tips for making the most of your next summer “staycation”.
1. Stay Cool
Maintain a comfortably cool indoor temperature with these smart suggestions to beat the heat.
Keep the curtains shut: Draw the curtains during the hottest part of the day to help prevent the summer sun from overheating your indoor retreat. Blackout curtains and shades can be useful allies in blocking sunlight and keeping the temperature at a comfortable level. Of course, once the evening has rolled around, you can open the curtains and take in another spectacular summer sunset.
Circulate the air: Circulating the air can make all the difference when it comes to maintaining a pleasant indoor atmosphere.
While turning on the air conditioner may keep you cool for a while, it’s important to keep the chilled air flowing if you want to feel comfortable and refreshed at all times. For those hot, stuffy days when the air conditioner alone just won’t do, the LG ThinQ app provides Fresh Air Mode which allows you to turn all your connected air conditioners, ceiling fans and air purifiers on at once.
2. Quality Entertainment at Home
Now that you’re fully relaxed and the temperature is just right, make the most of your summer break with some fun indoor activities.
Tend a home garden: Bring nature inside with some gorgeous summer flower arrangements or set up an indoor garden and try your hand at growing your own greens. Besides adding some colour to your indoor environment, having more plants inside the home helps to boost air quality and delivers a welcome cooling effect – it’s a win-win!
Take up a Healthy Hobby: Exercising outdoors during the height of summer may not be the best idea, so what better time to start training at home? Yoga and Pilates both provide a great workout, and they don’t require a lot of equipment or space either. | Clockwork Media
