Ah, but tiny apartments are much cheaper to keep cool… don’t forget that part of the calculation.
Yes, but considering I don’t have the money up front, this poses a problem. However, in my job hunt, I will be moving, so hopefully I get a place with central air.
There’s a particular brand of peppermint soap (though I don’t think it’s the only one that does this) that leaves skin all tingly and cool for several hours after a shower. I used to use it to keep cool when I was a poor college kid with nothing but a swamp cooler for those 110 degree July days. I was using Dr. Bronner’s liquid peppermint soap.

Two words: peppermint soap!
Two more words: air conditioning!
(And what does peppermint soap do?)
I’m too poor 😦

Good luck with the search! 🙂

That is the exact reason I keep a bottle of peppermint lotion in the fridge!
