Try these tips for staying cool all summer long...
If you're in menopause, there's a good chance that you've had your own personal heat wave going on throughout the year. Add July's 80 degree temperatures to the mix and a day in the office becomes unbearable.
Here's how to reinvent your routine in the summer and stay cool at work.
- Get a good night sleep. Invest in a moisture wicking sleepwear wardrobe like Haralee sleepwear. You are not going to be fresh in the morning if you're up all night changing your sweat-drenched pajamas, nightgown, pillowcase or sheets.
- Wear sleeveless. Forget about your arms not being toned or tanned. This is summer! Have a sweater or jacket that you can easily slip on for meetings with the boss, but take that baby off when ever possible. Add definition to your arms with spray tan or use tanning creams. Michelle Obama's penchant for sleeveless has been a fantastic boon to boomers in the workplace.
- Drink iced drinks only. Keep some cool water at your ready at all times. If you start going into a flash, gently press an ice cube at the back of your neck. As tempting as it seems, do not put an ice cube into your bra. The melting may cause a water spot on your sleeveless top. If your office doesn't have a kitchen freezer, fill an insulated cup or thermos with ice.
