I’ve found that pure aloe vera gel (kept in the fridge) works wonders for sunburn relief.
It works even better if you can find aloe with lidocaine. I’ve never heard of putting it in the refridgerator. That sounds like it would feel really good on a sunburn.
The bottle said to refrigerate after opening, so I did.
And yeah, the cold gel feels good going on.
Yeah, my mother lives just outside Goulburn, and she told me that even her alpacas are shivering.
On the other hand, it was about 33C here in Baltimore today, with the forecast calling for even hotter weather tomorrow. My softball double-header, which starts at 1pm, is going to be a pretty warm affair.
Got up to 93 today here in the Chi–and I’m loving every minute of it.
Heat + lakefront = Enfant Terrible visual takes that would put any Tex Avery cartoon to shame. Oh, the bikinis are in full bloom!
Not to mention, I enjoy a good session in the steam room, and this weather is like an all-over steam, all the time. WONDERFUL.
I was melting in Brampton yesterday – but I’d still take it over the cold any day. Actually, I’d take the warm-yet-cool spring temps over anything – a nice 15-20c gets my mojo rising.
