5 must-haves to help you survive during the rainy season
Joy Onuorah
Going around on rainy days can be a little messy especially if you do not have a car to take you around.
Judging by the weather these days, predictions are not safe anymore because you might just be caught unaware. With the situation of our roads, you should expect most places to be muddy and messy. Feeling cold during the rainy season is inevitable and if you’re not well protected, you might just fall sick.
Since you can’t change the weather, it’s better to find a way to be safe. To achieve this, you need to have some essentials with you at all times. With these items, you can be kept safe from the rain and its effect on your health.
Umbrella
Since the rain does not give us a heads up these days, we need to be wise about it. A piece of umbrella is a must-have this season. The umbrella will keep you from getting wet, thereby protecting you from cold.
If you are worried about forgetting the umbrella due to the size, you can get a portable one that can fit into your bag. Portable umbrellas are affordable and readily available for purchase.
Waterproof footwear
Rain has no respect for your designer’s shoes, so you need to stay woke. Protect your designer shoes by getting waterproof footwear, ranging from rain boots, rubber shoes to waterproof flip flops. So whether you are heading to work or running errands there’s always a rubber shoe to the rescue.
Cold weather apparels
Do you know the wetter you get, the colder you become? When the cold gets too much, you’re likely to come down with the flu or get sick. To avoid this, you need to have several cold apparels with you all the time. Some of the cold weather apparels are sweaters, raincoats, blazers, gloves and many others.
Shower cap
For ladies, you can’t afford to let your well-made hair get wet because it gets smelly after, which is so ‘unfresh’. When your hair gets wet and it’s not properly dried, it would get smelly. Apart from the smell, it could also lead to cold and discomfort. To prevent all this, all you need to do is buy a shower cap to properly cover your head when it’s raining or drizzling outside.
Waterproof bags
Since the rain is going to disrupt your day, you can’t afford to leave your important documents or makeup products at home. You need waterproof bags to protect the items you need to carry around. When you notice it might rain, you need to swap your leather bags for the waterproof/jelly ones. Better still, shop for more jelly bags this season.
