1 ~~~ I wouldn't travel to Europe without one of these in my handbag
My secret weapon for staying cool during a heatwave – and it’s just £12
As a Brit, I’m not really built for the heat.
While others bake happily for hours, I’m donning the biggest hat I can find and frantically looking for the nearest air-conditioned room.
I'm also quite pale, with the kind of skin that looks orange with only a whisper of bronzer, and for whom a spray tan is simply off-limits.
If I'm not very careful, I end up lobster red after five minutes in the sun; either from the heat or from not absolutely slathering every inch of my body in SPF, or more likely both.
But one recent purchase has made a big difference to my comfort levels in warmer climes – and that's a £12 electric fan.
I know, I know. A fan for hot weather? Groundbreaking.
But this simple, obvious addition to my handbag has made such a difference to my comfort levels while abroad that I can’t believe I didn’t have one before.
I’ve spent years of my life quietly overheating on a sun lounger in my long sleeves or sitting inside stoically reading a book alone when I could have just… bought this.
