Cool Down & Recover Like a Pro in the Texas Heat
Welcome to July in Texas — where your steering wheel doubles as a branding iron and your back patio could fry an egg and your ego. Whether you’re recovering from a two-hour pickleball match, a steamy open house, or simply stepping outside to check the mail, your body deserves a little more than a sip of lukewarm water and a box fan on high.
At The Assaad Group, we believe in “Luxury with Heart” — and that includes taking care of our health during these brutal triple-digit days. Here’s our curated list of cutting-edge (and dare we say, chill) wellness products that’ll help you beat the heat, recharge like a spa influencer, and recover faster than your neighbor’s lawn sprinkler schedule.
1. Cold Plunge Tubs – The Texas-Sized Refresh Button
Product: Plunge Cold Tub
Why It’s Cool: This isn’t your granddad’s metal washtub. With built-in filtration, temperature control down to 39°F, and sleek aesthetics, Plunge tubs are the Rolls-Royce of recovery. Athletes love them, and so does every Texan who’s had to park outside in August.
2. Personal Cooling Towels – Chill in Your Pocket
Product: Mission Cooling Towels
Why It’s Cool: Just add water, wring, and snap. These towels drop to 30 degrees below your body temp. Keep one in your tennis bag, pickleball tote, or even tucked in your visor like a wellness ninja.
3. Electrolyte-Infused Water Bottles – Sip Smart
Product: Hydro Flask + LMNT Electrolytes
Why It’s Cool: The Hydro Flask keeps water icy for hours, but toss in an LMNT electrolyte packet and you’ve got hydration that could outpace a cactus. Bonus: no sugar, no junk, just salt, magnesium, and potassium.
4. Normatec Compression Boots – Legs Deserve Luxury Too
Product: Hyperice Normatec 3
Why It’s Cool: After a long day of client tours or pickleball sets, let these compression sleeves do the work. They use dynamic air compression to increase circulation, reduce soreness, and make you feel like you’re floating.
5. Hpervolt 2 Pro – Deep Tissue On-The-Go
Product: Hyperice: Hypervolt 2 Pro
Why It’s Cool: Small enough to toss in your car console, powerful enough to make that post-tennis shoulder twinge a thing of the past. Use it between showings, during travel, or while watching your next open house video upload.
6. WHOOP – Know Your Body Better Than Your Watch Does
Product: WHOOP 5.0 Band
Why It’s Cool: This band tracks sleep, recovery, body temp, and heart rate—all with the elegance of James Bond. It’s the wellness assistant you didn’t know you needed, especially when the Texas sun throws your circadian rhythm into a tailspin.
7. Portable Infrared Sauna Blanket – Detox in Style
Product: HigherDOSE Sauna Blanket
Why It’s Cool: Yes, it’s hot already, but this heat is intentional. Infrared saunas reduce inflammation, flush toxins, and promote deep relaxation — especially great when paired with A/C and a good playlist.
8. Neck Fans – High Fashion, Low Temp
Product: Coolify Torras Life Neck Fan
Why It’s Cool: Look, you might feel a little like Star Trek meets fashion week, but these lightweight neck fans are game changers. Quiet, rechargeable, and surprisingly stylish — they’re perfect for open houses or long walks between courts.
9. Ice Roller for the Face – Spa Vibes on the Patio
Product: Contour Cube Ice Roller
Why It’s Cool: Puffy face? Sun exposure? Post-Margarita regrets? This ice roller tightens pores and depuffs faster than your inbox fills up on a Monday morning.
10. Cooling Pajamas – Sleep Like It’s December
Product: Cozy Earth Sleep Set
Why It’s Cool: Breathable, thermoregulating fabric that keeps you cool even when your upstairs A/C is working overtime. Sleep is recovery — dress like you mean it.
Final Cool-Down: Self-Care Is Always In Season
Texas doesn’t mess around with summer, and neither should you. At The Assaad Group, our vision is to be the most trusted luxury real estate team known for “Luxury with Heart.” That includes encouraging our clients, friends, and teammates to prioritize recovery, hydration, and wellness — because you can’t conquer real estate (or the court) if you’re melting into your flip-flops.
Remember, we’re not just selling homes — we’re building a lifestyle. And in that lifestyle? Sweat is optional, recovery is mandatory, and staying cool is always in style.
Let’s Stay Cool, DFW.
