(ARA) – Summer's longer days and balmy temperatures mean more fun in the sun. But too much of a good thing can have you looking for a way to cool off. A quick dip in the pool is always a good choice; here are some other options.
* Dress the part -- summer calls for comfortable clothing. Natural fibers let your skin breathe, keeping you cool.

*Plan a picnic -- pack up a picnic basket and head to a local park for a fun day with family and friends. If you are planning on doing an evening picnic, you can still find the right light by using Aurelle LED candles, which combines LED technology with the beauty and simplicity of candlelight. The Aurelle LED Candle Series combines the warm glow and gentle flicker of a candle without the risks and nuisance associated with open flames. With Aurelle, using candles to create atmosphere is made safer and easier.

* Head to the beach -- what better place to spend a lazy summer day than the beach? Whether your beach is on the ocean or a lake, find a shady spot and relax. If you're headed to a beach party, you'll want to bring along ShoqBox. This “must-have” travel companion of the stars stores up to 60 MP3 tracks and also features an FM radio and an alarm clock to make sure you don't catch too many rays. From celebrities to professional athletes like soccer phenom Freddy Adu, this system is portable enough to take anywhere. The ShoqBox combines a powerful sound with a sleek design, so you'll never be without a soundtrack to your fun.

* Cool down your menu -- salads are a natural for summer menus. You can take advantage of the bounty of produce at your local farmer's market to put together a great looking and great tasting combination that's also good for you.

* Enjoy the air conditioning – when you just don't want to leave the air conditioned comfort of your house, what better way to spend a few hours than catching up on those movies you've been wanting to see? And there's no better way to see them than on one of Philips' Ambilight FlatTV displays.

Ambilight technology is an active lighting system that both improves perceived picture quality and delivers a far more immersive viewing experience, all with less eye strain. Ambilight technology projects light on the sides of the TV to match the content such as blue colors for ocean scenes. From actress Demi Moore to musician Anthony Kiedis, this is a must-have item for their homes this summer!

* Leave the top down -- taking to the open road with the wind blowing through your hair is one of life's little pleasures. If you don't own a convertible, you can rent one for that weekend trip to the shore; better yet, find a friend who has one, sit back and enjoy the ride.

So relax, put on your comfortable clothes and get ready to enjoy the sights and sounds of summer. For more information on Philips products, visit www.designingathome.com. Courtesy of ARA Content
