1. StayĀ Hydrated

This one is actually important , because water keeps your organs in working order.

2. Always Keep Ice Cubes with You

At least you'll have an excuse for those sweat stains! (Don't do this one, its gross)

3. Wear Lighter Clothes

The darker the clothes the more heat absorbed, thus making you hotter. Sorry, those dark-washed jeans are gonna have to wait until fall.

Research from a credible source states that staring at the sun raises Vitamin D levels. (WARNING WARNING THIS WAS A POOR ATTEMPT AT HUMOR, DO NOT STARE AT THE SUN!)

5. Use Aloe Vera

Aloe vera contains high amounts of vitamins and minerals which helps in the skin's healing process.

6. Wear Sunglasses

Just not indoors.

7. Wear Some Sunscreen

I don't care how invincible you think you are, put on some hecking sunscreen.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.
