DIY-NOT?

 DIY WINTER

Are you sweating uncontrollably from ALL places? Are you craving snow cones and warm hugs? Do you think you are living in a sauna? You are probably not even that frosted (eh?). Being under the influence of scorching heat has led us into becoming sticky and shady all the time, quite literally. I am still dumbfounded by the idea of summer picnics, unless you need the sun... for a human sacrifice. It is time to bring in the winter using some winter hacks!

1.   WET TOWELS

For all the right reasons with the right methods, please. Soak your towel in icy cold water and hang it by your window, so it can occasionally smack your face thanks to the loo. Either that, or use the wet towel and put it over your face till you feel suffocated and blinded, and can taste your last bath.

2. ICE YOURSELF

The great thing about ice is that you can suck on it, lick it, put it down your back, or even hold it in your palm till it waters away without needing to clean it. Enough said.

3. WATER PARK AT HOME

Get yourself to go to the nearest store and purchase an inflatable swimming pool. Blow it up till its rubbery surface is hard and squeaky. Ahem. And by the time you're done, you shall realize the pool is already full of your own sweat. Add some ice cubes and rubber ducks inside, and dive right in. You can also splash water on your floor and slide right through, and mop it off because it is indeed your mother's house.

4. HYDRATE

Pour some water, shred the ice, and add a fruit of your choice - like chocolate. Blend it in your very noisy and 'barely capable of keeping itself together' (the description was too long, I forgot what I was talking about) mixer. And there you have it! Your very own, absolutely brown, cold, and disgusting, and maybe even border line racist fruit cooler to welcome the winter.

5. PRETEND

Wrap yourself in a heavy fur coat and gloves, and believe. Pray for the possibility of a cold wind, and maybe even sing a song dramatically for the same. Grab a hot cocoa and snuggle till you can hang the same wet fur coat by your window.
