TURN ON THE HEAT

Here's the hot list of the twelve top things to wear, watch and do this summer. Check it out!

1. If you've been thinking of joining a gym but haven't gotten down to it so far, now's your chance. You will soon be shedding those layers and layers of clothes you've been wrapped up in for the winter season, and will be finally showing skin again. Make sure you're in shape and set to sizzle this summer.

2. Cool capris are the way to go to beat the heat. Get yourself a pair of beige ones. Team it up with a short white tee and you're on your way to looking wonderfully summery. Better yet, sleep in the buff. There's nothing more sensual or comfortable.

3. Drink a chilled glass of iced tea. You can now purchase readymade ice-tea packs with different flavours like peach, lemon. If you can't get hold of them, don't fret. Here's how to make a deliciously chilled glass of the chai. Boil tea leaves and sugar in a glass of water, chill, and add the juice of a lemon. Pour in a tall glass half filled with ice cubes. Mmmmm..

4. Chappals are cool, and look great when worn with capris. Pick up a few glittery, sequined ones in different colours to match your moods.

5. Water water everywhere. You can never have too much water so drink up as much as you can. Water rids your body of toxins and rejuvenates you.

6. Mash your favourite fruit a mango, a few strawberries or cherries, and toss them in a bowl of water. Pour the water into an ice tray and freeze. Toss these tangy ice cubes into your mouth whenever you need an instant refreshing pick-me-up.

7. Large basket-weave bags are very very la mode, and they look especially nice when teamed with capris. Try and get your hands on one this summer.

8. Go for an early morning jog. Get out just before dawn breaks, so you can catch the sunrise. How long has it been since you've seen a sunrise anyway.

9. Order a tub of chocolate ice-cream or whichever you fancy, call for a VCD or tape of Casablanca, sit down with your significant other or best friend, and watch it. It's recently been voted the most romantic movie of all time, so if you haven't seen it so far, you're missing out!

10. Pick out some gorgeous, huge sunflowers and place them in a vase in your dining room. Snip the ends diagonally they last longer and place them in warm water.

11. Too hot for you Get away this weekend. Head for the nearest hill-station. Don't opt for anything too exotic or too far. You don't want to spend a lot of time planning and traveling. Just pack your bags, get out of town for a short break, and return fresh and rarin to go!

12. Try out some steamy moves with your partner. Remember those ice cubes (pt. 7)Put them to good use. Guaranteed to make the temperature soar ever more!
