Fanning the Flames of Summer Heat

I love summer and sunshine as much as the next girl, but I’m not a big fan of heat and humidity. I wilt when the thermometer pushes beyond 87 degrees and the air feels heavier than a bowling ball pressing itself into my face. If walking to my mailbox makes me break into an intense sweat, I become very unhappy. Fortunately, I’ve recently discovered my new summertime best friend: the translucent mini fan. This handy gadget is cute, small enough to fit into my purse, and most of all, keeps me cool when the temperature heats up. I know these little fans aren’t new, but I must have been under a rock for the past century, because I never laid my hands on one until this past month. And I quickly learned what I’ve been missing – instant coolness at my fingertips during the hottest part of the day. My purse will never be without my own personal fan again. So, while I’m not a fan of the intense heat and humidity, I sure am a huge fan of the personal fan.
