▲Keep a spray bottle of water in the fridge. Spray on face or body accordingly. Coolness ensues.

▲A hat can protect you from the sun, hide bald spots, and decrease your chances of developing wrinkles. Everybody needs a hat.

▲Protect your skin from the bloodsucking mosquitos out there.

▲Computers can get super hot in the stifling summer—keep yours lifted and aerated by placing four bottle tops under the device. Cool computer!

▲Keep the heat down in the house by not using appliances that produce a lot of heat. For example, dry clothes on the line to avoid heat-emitting tumble dyers.

▲Keep plastic bottles of frozen water in the freezer. They can be used to cool pressure points.

▲Treat yourself. Get a fan. You know this already.

▲Take frequent showers or baths in tepid water.

▲Eat smaller, cooler snacks, and avoid standing over or close to a hot stove.

▲Exercise during cooler times of the day, like early morning for example.

▲Sunscreen is your best friend.

▲Keep eye cream, moisturizer, and all manner of things you slather on your body in the fridge for a super cool experience.

▲Make sure your pets are not overheating. While you may not own a pet tiger, spoil your domestic animal with big chunks of ice to keep them cool.

▲Prevent your flip-flops from overheating and burning your feet by turning them upside down when not being worn.

▲Wear loose clothing to keep cool.

▲Never ever ever ever leave your dog or anyone else's dog in a car in the hot sun.

▲Drench your hat in ice cold water and place on your head for instant freshness.

▲Light colored clothes absorb less of the sun's rays.

▲Sugary drinks only serve to make you even more dehydrated, so stick to water.

▲If you don't have air-conditioning, you can recreate your own home system by placing a bowl of ice in front of a box fan and sitting directly in the air flow.

▲Drinks that contain caffeine increase heart rate and perspiration, which means they should be avoided to stay in the comfort zone.

▲Top icy trick! Place some of your dog's toys in a bucket, fill with water, and freeze. Once frozen, your dog will chip and lick away the ice block, remaining cool at all times.

▲Yes! Electrolytes in sports drinks are your friend and will replenish and refresh your hot body.

▲Cool your pulse. Place a shirt in the freezer and then wrap it around your pulse points to bring down your blood temperature.

▲Know the signs for heatstroke: A throbbing headache, dizziness, light-headedness, lack of sweating despite the heat, red and dry skin, muscle weakness or cramps, nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat, and rapid, shallow breathing.

▲While this may sound counter-intuitive, drinking tea makes you sweat and, in turn, cools you off naturally.

▲Find a local cinema, café, bar or shopping center that has air-conditioning.
