I’ve mentioned before August in Japan is very hot and humid. I took a screen shot of the temperature while I was out and about on errands today. Feels like 132!!! We can all agree that’s HOT!
I’ve started to incorporate several survival strategies when I’m out in the heat. The first is to carry a small ice pack when I walk down the hill to catch the train. I also take a small towel with me to wipe my dripping sweat.
I also carry a pack of Bioré sheets. These sheets are ah-mazing.
The sheets have a light powder on them and have magical cooling power. They help to cool your skin, leave a refreshing tingle and light powder on your skin.
When I’ve exhausted all my efforts to stay cool, I reach for one final weapon against the heat. Coolish. Soft cream in a convenient to-go pack.
At only 153 calories, it is a delightfully cool treat. More importantly, you must kneed the frozen package and hold it to melt the ice cream! Sure you can use your hands to melt it, I prefer the back of my neck!
Ahhhhh…. it’s all about survival!
