Texas summers are hot, hot, hot! It’s essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Try infusing your water with fresh fruits like strawberries, lemons, or cucumbers for a refreshing twist. You can find all these fruits at your local H-E-B. Keep a reusable water bottle with you to stay hydrated wherever you go.
Protect Your Skin
The Texas sun can be intense, so protect your skin. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Remember to wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes. You can find a great selection of sunscreens at H-E-B.
Enjoy Outdoor Activities
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy nature. Head to a local park for a hike, have a picnic or take a bike ride. Texas has beautiful state parks that are perfect for day trips. Pack snacks like trail mix or fresh fruit from H-E-B to keep your energy up.
When the heat gets too much, it’s time to cool off. Visit a local pool or water park or set up a sprinkler in your backyard. If you’re feeling adventurous, try paddleboarding or kayaking on a nearby lake. Always have plenty of sunscreen and water with you to stay safe.
Beat the Heat Indoors
Sometimes, it’s just too hot to be outside. To stay cool, take advantage of indoor activities. Have a movie marathon, host a bouquet-arranging party, try out new recipes, or start a DIY project. H-E-B has a variety of craft supplies and snacks to keep you entertained indoors.
Savor Seasonal Produce
Summer is a great time to enjoy fresh, seasonal produce. Stock up on peaches, watermelons, and tomatoes at H-E-B. These fruits and veggies are perfect for summer salads, salsas, and smoothies. Plus, they’re a delicious way to stay healthy and hydrated.
Plan a Staycation
You don’t have to go far to have a great vacation. Plan a staycation and explore your local area. Visit museums, try new restaurants, or have a spa day at home. Sometimes, the best adventures are right in your own backyard.
