Several friends of mine have stampeded to your page to buy one of their own just after seeing me in mine. <br />It may not make the searing heat in the actual situation any less - but you have a fan base of a whole group of women halfway around the world. <br /><br />At viking fayres, what I do when I get hot is take off my shoes and go barefoot. Pure and simple, but it makes a big difference. If your pregnancy makes them swell up a bit, I imagine it will do even more so. Maybe keep a small bowl of water around the back to dip them in once in a while?<br />Also, I make a point of wearing my long hair up so the air can get under and around the neck and back.<br />You may already do all of these, but that is what I could think of off the top of my head.<br />As far as I'm concerned, doing fayres in continental climate summer while pregnant is damn heroic. <br /><br />Cool and soothing regards,<br /><br />RannveigYsoldehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456288440519821944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860539656121595525.post-65469660215394373052013-05-07T22:45:27.102-07:002013-05-07T22:45:27.102-07:00ZOPO ZP980 has a 4.0 inch IPS screen that has a re...<a href="http://www.antelife.com/zopo-zp980-mtk6589-quad-core-android-4-2-5-0-inch-first-fhd-screen-440ppi-13-0mp-camera-smart-phone.html" rel="nofollow">ZOPO ZP980</a> has a 4.0 inch IPS screen that has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels.

Though ice sounds fantastic when you are sweltering you can shock your system if you put ice on yourself too quickly which will not be good for you or the babe. Bodice Chillers are a must have but put it in earlier in the day. <br /><br />Also try the old fashion ice and fan trick. It's a fantastic and easy way to keep cool. It works just as well if you put the ice in a glass jar. <br /><br />Best of luck to you and your company this year! May you sell out!

Just as having clean dry layers helps to keep you warm in bitter cold temps, clean and dry layers help you stay cool in the heat! Make sure they're dry when you put 'em on though - nobody wants soggy undies :P<br />I also second the sea shanties suggestion above, and having a positive alternative to negative self-talk can be really helpful. Whenever I'm climbing a crazy hill, or about to attempt a challenging obstacle in a Spartan race, I replace all negative words with "badass." That way phrases like "I feel so fat/out of shape/exhausted," turn into "I feel so BADASS!" (or, "This hill is SO STEEP." to "This hill is BADASS!") Because, honestly, the latter is truer than the former statement!

(Wear a Queen-of-Hearts or Elizabeth I inspired outfit and you will have a built-in reason for the ordering about. Then, you can get the grumpies out in a playful way. Stress-release is super important!) <br /><br />Also: Keep your hair up. Drink juice not just water, and avoid soda. If you are a caffeine drinker, have that be the prize for the last hour of the day. Don't start out with it. Have three pairs of shoes hiding in your booth and switch whenever your feet start to hurt. Think about getting a fan and putting it discreetly on the floor, angled up so that you can cool yourself easily. Wherever possible, avoid having to bend or reach down. Your back will be hurting enough as it is. (Put the kidlets to work! They are short for a reason. :) ) <br /><br />If those grumpy voices start to get you down, or the bad moments start piling up, have some sort of ridiculous game (like bingo) that forces you to listen for the positive things - both from others and from yourself. Finally, sing sea shanties. It may very well be physically impossible to be depressed by the third verse of "Blow the Man Down." Very best of luck in OK. May you and your family travel safely.

BUT, YOU are a major draw for people like me who drive hours and hours to see you. It was great to meet you and get fitted by YOU. You are just as awesome in person as on this silly internet. You are human and your friends and fan-friends will totally understand if you're standing in a bucket of ice while vomiting into another bucket....as long as you can point out matching outfits in-between heaves. :-) <br /><br />Now, certainly, you could create a special garment for yourself out of PUL that would hold ice against your body without getting you wet. Sort of like those cooling vests for people without sweat glands, but sexier. Love you Michelle!!!! You're the best!! (I'm giving one of your catalogs to my Dr. tomorrow.
