Now that we've settled into summer--and have passed its first and only long weekend--we're starting to really feel the mugginess of the season. The humidity that has us breaking a sweat even minutes after showering; the common summer ailments like stings, bites, and rashes; the persistence of creepy crawlies and the need to find ways to ward them off; and more.But it's not just the external things that could be stressing you out as the temperature continues to stay high. The hot weather may have tempers rising as well, if you aren't careful to keep your cool about little irritants.
Below are some of our favorite reads of the week, which include things to take your mind off the heat, like the royal wedding or the latest in fashion, but you'll also find tips on keeping your love life refreshed, courtesy of our friends at Cosmo.PH and SmartParenting.com.ph!
