Is it hot enough for you?

If you’re looking for ways to chill out, you don’t have to just dunk yourself in an ice-cold bath (although that helps). You can also admire—and even buy—cool things from Etsy, the arts-and-crafts marketplace.

Some will actually help drop the temperature. Others will simply prompt you to think of cooler climes. One way or another, we took a look around and gathered a few things that will help fight the summer heat.
