Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat
IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either.
Strip them off
It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun.
Cool down bedrooms before nighttime
When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up.
Wear a hat
Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help.
Avoid the car
The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car.
Stay hydrated
This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be.
Another added: 'This looks good.'

How to keep cool in a heatwave
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
A second user claimed: 'Best thing I brought two years ago and still going now.'
Someone else beamed: 'Yep mine's brilliant, best I've bought. Side of bed, back of car for dog and on him in his bed.'

I'm a garden expert – bathroom staple could give your furniture an instant makeover
NOW that summer is well underway, there has never been a more perfect time to get out and relax in the garden. It can be the perfect place to put your feet up, relax, and take in the sunshine while enjoying the greenery. Advertisement 3 Our flip-flop weather means our garden furniture needs looking after more Credit: Alamy 3 And that usually involves cleaning it more often Credit: Getty 3 But one bathroom staple can help give it an instant makeover Credit: Getty But without our recent flip-flop weather, one minute our outdoor furniture will look great, and the next it will need another clean and wipe down. Items like chairs and tables are magnets for dirt and grime, and even just one day of heavy rain and wind can be enough for them to get dirty all over again. But did you know that one small, bathroom staple could effortlessly give it a new lease of life? Garden pros have revealed that a toothbrush can be a useful tool for a deep clean. Advertisement And they have urged homeowners to think twice about tossing their old toothbrushes before using them to spruce up their outdoor furniture. Bradley Spencer, of garden furniture specialists A regular deep clean can not only protect the longevity and functionality of outdoor items but give them an instant makeover too Bradley Spencer of garden furniture specialists Royal Finesse He said: 'The unpredictable weather can leave garden furniture looking less than its best at times. 'A regular deep clean can not only protect the longevity and functionality of outdoor items but give them an instant makeover too. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous Exclusive 'With wooden furniture, it's recommended to use a soft cloth or sponge and water mixed with a mild soap to wipe dirt off the surfaces. 'A soft-bristle toothbrush can be used to remove dirt and loose debris from crevices and hard-to-reach spots, taking care not to damage the wood by scrubbing too hard. 'I was quoted £10,000 for a garden renovation but did it MYSELF for £1,000 using ChatGPT to show my kids what single mums can do' 'White vinegar mixed with water can also be useful for tackling any stubborn dirt. 'Finally, give the item a rinse with clean water to remove any lingering soap or vinegar and allow to dry. Advertisement 'You might be surprised just how much of a difference a deep clean can make to your garden furniture. "And it can give the entire outdoor space a makeover, too.' According to Bradley, good-quality wooden garden furniture can last decades if cared for properly. Advertisement He recommends conducting a deep clean at least twice a year. And he said reapplying a sealant or protective oil can go a long way to maintaining its longevity. When not in use through the winter, protective covers can be used to keep the elements at bay. Or if possible, it can be moved into an indoor area such as a shed if practical. Advertisement Bradley also warns against a common mistake some people make while cleaning their garden furniture. Read more on the Irish Sun He added: 'Using a pressure washer to clean wooden garden furniture can be risky as it may cause damage if not done properly. 'The powerful blasts can damage the protective coating, cause chips in the wood and make it more vulnerable to water and sun damage.' The mistake that could wreck your outdoor furniture IF you want to make sure that you don't accidentally ruin your outdoor furniture during the hot weather then you might want to take note. Experts have revealed that there is a huge garden mistake you could be making during the hot temperatures that could wreck your outdoor space. Since Scotland gets a lot of wet and windy weather - at the tail end of the year - most homeowners cover up their beloved garden furniture over winter. But leaving this on when the weather is hot and sunny could actually cause anything that is under it to MELT. As a result, outdoor expert Andrew White from He said: "When the temperature is rising, it is important to remove your garden furniture covers. "Most garden furniture covers are lined with PVC to repel the elements during wet weather. "But when they are placed under a direct heat source such as the sun, they can actually melt and leave a residue or stain on your furnishings. 'Some materials in lower quality, less expensive furnishings can become brittle if left in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. "To prevent fading and breakage, you should ensure your furniture is well-shaded during sunny periods.

At the same time, one Advertisement Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. As well as this, one woman beamed: 'I need it! Gorgeous.'
