• Dress Light: Wear light colours and breathable fabrics such as cotton and linen, especially at this period. Find some shade when you make plan to play outside, make sure to wear sunscreen, carry along plenty of water, invest in a wide brimmed hat, and find a pocket of shade to hang out in when the sun is beaming.
