It's HOT here in Florida! When we first moved into our house, I set the thermostat at 72 which is what I kept my house at in Illinois during the summer. When I told my friend who lives here that my air was set to 72, her jaw hit the floor, and I started to realize that I'd probably need to make some adjustments if I didn't want a $500 electric bill. I've been turning the temperature up a degree every day. I'm up to 76 so far and honestly, when I come in from outside, it feels a little too cold sometimes. I guess anything less than the outdoor temp (approximately 400 degrees) is cool.
I'm pretty sure I'm single-handedly keeping Unilever in business with all the deodorant I'm using every day! I'm almost to the point of rubbing a stick of Degree on my head to keep the sweat from pouring down into my eyes. I know, I'm quite the babe with my hair matted to my face.
But I've figured out the secret to living in Florida during the summer! When you're not in the air conditioning, you need to spend all day at the pool or beach! What a great way for anyone to spend their free time during the summer! And I've got an awesome giveaway to help you do just that!

Exclusive Don’t Fret the Sweat beach bag
2GB iPod Shuffle

There is no way I could live in the FL heat!! I keep my air on 72 but like you I'm trying to adjust it up to save on power. My husband was laid off 2 weeks ago :/ I'm glad to see that you are moved in and doing ok! Love keeping up with you on your blog and facebook :) Would love to win the prize!

awesome contest, Dawn. I think staying in the pool sounds pretty good...it is still cool where we are on the other cost. When I lived in a tropical climate years ago I found eventually your blood does thin out and you don't feel the heat as much so just hang in there!

Hi! would love to win the prize pack; it sounds amazing :)
We go to the pool almost everyday to help beat the heat. It is unbearable. This would be a very welcome addition at our house.
Thanks!
I already liked that page a while back, but I am leaving a
Comment in the hopes of winning anyway! I am in Indiana and it was VERY hot here today, mostly due to the heat index. We went to a boy scout camping event but opted to come home to sleep. One of the scout moms posted in her Facebook status that they are all smothering but don't want to break ccamp in the dark. I'm thinking drive home (fifteen minutes away) sleep and then come back in the morning to break camp!
My contact info is mama2levi@gmail.com. YesI talk a lot. :D
