Keri's Wellness Wednesday: sand removing hacks
Updated | By Keri Miller
December has brought summer along and that means sunny days on the beach, so don't let the sand put you off hitting the waves!
And as much as we love the beach (some more than others), sand stuck to your body is just... rough. *that was a sand joke*.
I have recently learnt two great beach tips that have changed my seaside game.

Keep sand off your beach area by taking a fitted sheet to the beach and placing your cooler boxes, bags or any other obstacle in each corner. Just like that, you have an area relatively safe from sand.
Nailed it!! #beachhacks #12thstreetbeach #summersixteen

1 x fitted bedsheet. 4 x 'things' to put into the corner of your bed sheet
How? Just put the fitted sheet on the sand. Place an 'obstacle' in each corner and lift the sheet up as high as it will go.
Sand Tip 2:
If you do find yourself covered in sand, make sure you've packed the baby powder. Baby powder is a miracle sand remover. You see, the baby powder removes the moisture in your hair, on your feet or legs, and makes it so easy to just brush the sand off.
Once you have tried this, you won't go to the beach again without it.
Oh, and if you aren't a fan of baby powder, and would like to try something more natural, try cornstarch, it works really well too.

What will you need?
1 x sandy body. 1 x baby powder
How? have so much fun that you get very sandy. Sprinkle the baby powder on sandy body part/s. Dust off sand
Extra Summer TIP:
Last week we made natural 'ice-cream' using bananas.
If eating cold things gives you brain freeze, here is an easy and quick way to get that aching to go. Brain freeze happens when you eat something very cold, very fast and the nerves respond to the cold sensation on the soft palette. The brain thinks your whole body is that cold and tries to, very quickly, warm you back up again causing the uncomfortable sensation.
To stop the sensation of brain freeze, try try to warm up the soft palette by pushing your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth covering as much of the surface area as possible.
