What things do you find nice and refreshing?

[lifewithsomeonespecial]

Thought I would start this thread for some new ideas

For me it's a swim, a Mr Freeze (or 5) ice pop, dipping my fit into the cold sea if it's hot. A nice shower with a refreshing soap

Sadly though I don't live near a sea!

I love it! Yes to Mr Freeze!

I love getting home after a hot morning on holiday, a cool shower then a lie down in a dark air conditioned room with a can of coca cola or Fanta. Utter decadence.

@Kanaloa goodness are you my soulmate?!

You must be

Nice shower, sun kissed skin, cool sheets and a fizzy drink in a can. Utter bliss

A bottle of wine

Rum and coke.
Won't be so refreshing in the morning though 😬

😂

we must be soulmates! Although I haven’t been on holiday in a WHILE! So I’m mainly refreshed by my memories at this point.

A cold can of Diet Coke

Love a can of lemon Fanta on holiday 😍
Why does pop taste nicer in a can? I don't like cherry 7up in the bottle but love it by the can.

Peach tea, nice and cold

Yes but on holiday it’s Fanta Limon isn’t it and I can’t pronounce it otherwise, I don’t think it’s as tasty when it’s boring old Lemon Fanta!

I love the zero calorie iced tea they sell in Spain - peach, mango, lemon and there are also iced fruit green teas. Much harder to get hold of here

Running through the sprinkler! I get it out ‘for the kids’ 🤗

@Pyri Well, in Spain at least, they stopped doing the Spanish Fanta lemon stuff and changed it to the Fanta lemon we have here now. It happened when the new packaging came in for the fanta

Yeah but everything tastes better in the sun doesn’t it? Which is why you can drink €1 red wine in the Loire with some local cheese and think it’s the finest vintage and then it tastes like piss when you return home!

I have 500ml of cold lemon water first thing every morning, my body literally feels like I’ve poured water into a pot noodle afterwards. It makes such a huge difference to my day if I don’t have it for whatever reason.

Hydration refreshes everyone. So many people say I don’t drink enough water and just leave it at that without having any. Drink more water! I always aim for at least 3/4 litres.

Ice cold strong Vimto

Fanta naranja by the pool! Ah, memories.

Chilled fizzy water with a very small amount of pure orange juice - about an inch in a pint glass - and a couple of ice cubes. Wish I was in need of it as it's very chilly where I am today!

Coke with ice
Iced tea
Sour lemonade
Virgin mojito
Calypso drinks (the more sour the better!)
Kombucha
Lemon or raspberry sorbet

Feet in cool water, also, ideally a paddle in the sea
Outdoor swimming in a cooler pool or in the sea
A short shower either cold or slightly warm
Cold face towel on the back of my neck
Water spray
Sitting by a fan (but I'm not a fan of air conditioning!)

I hate having not sticky skin so like wearing loose natural fabrics in the sun not less.

I hate having HOT sticky skin 😂

Glass of water with ice.

Super cold Ice water

Jumping into a cold body of water and swimming for as long as I can bear it then coming out and feeling that whole body tingle. Magic.

The first sip from a really cold bottle of beer on a sunny afternoon.

Robinsons lime & mint cordial topped up with sparkling water, with loads of ice, a slice of lime and a sprig of mint. Best non-alcoholic summer drink I’ve found.

Failing that, an ice cold can of Diet Coke.
