I was on Amazon to get a few things and was curious about what sort of cooling wraps there are nowadays, being as I've never bought such a thing. I've got various things around the homestead I can use anyway but I did wonder.
Prepare water to 51C?? 😵 😂 That would be 124F!

My daughter found a couple of battery operated personal hand held fans we can take wherever we go. It has a bottle we fill with water + a few drops of rose or orange blossom water for misting. Mist face, hands arms etc and use the fan.
Friends & relatives loved ours so much, they asked her to purchase some for them.🤗
They had them at $ stores last year for $4. each.🤷♀️
oh yeah, I'd forgotten about those! *scribbles this on her shopping list*

It's inexpensive and does the job when you need to go out.😉 You can bring along extra water to refill it. Rose water 🌹 is good for your skin & hair (yes I mist my entire head!) and smells so nice on a hot, hot day.
When it's this hot there is no sense of pride as to looks, re wet hair. Survival is the key. 👍
I’ve been using Mario Badescu’s Rosewater spray for several years. $5. Granted, it doesn’t have a fan attached. 😆

I use the same stuff I use for cooking & baking.😜
Last time I bought it it was $3.25. We only add 3-4 drops per spray bottle. This stuff is super concentrated and powerful.💪
huh, this looks interesting. Is that Arab writing?
I'm needing to find ethnic grocery stores here in town, (well, I know the good Mexican ones already), to get some of my food fixes so I'll put this on my grocery list.

We buy the Rose & Orange Blossom waters at Sobey's, in the international food section.
I'd hope that Ethnic type stores would carry it.
I add a few drops when I'm cooking Jasmine Rice. 😋
Oh wow, I never even thought of that! I'll sometimes make my own cilantro rice but my brain never considered trying rose water for Jasmine Rice.

Other times I cook it in Orange Juice & add a few drops of Orange Blossom water.
Here's another tip of mine. I add a handful of frozen peas & carrots to the water, bring it to a boil, add the fragrant water & rice.
