I was born and raised in Tampa, so I’m very aware of the heat and humidity this time of year. Some days feel like you’re stepping into a sunny, steam shower when you walk outside. Hair frizzes, skin starts to look thin and sallow, and you’re days start to revolve around getting out of the heat and into the air conditioning. That’s why my friends at Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend asked me to share some of my summer survival tips with their viewers. Take a look below for the products we featured on today’s show. I tried to keep in mind that most of us aren’t super thrilled to be out and about with Covid numbers topping the charts in Florida. That’s why I included some DIY options like the mani and pedi polishes and at home Corona Virus testing. It may be hot as hell outside, but we still want glossy painted toes and to spend time with friends and family in 2021.
