Mother and daughter endure a blackout and heat by spraying themselves with water: "There are always solutions."

Constantly affected by blackouts, Cubans resort to all sorts of inventions to mitigate the lack of light, mosquitoes, and heat, like a mother and her daughter who spray themselves with water to cool off.

"There is no power and we are sweating a lot," said a woman named Leidyta FreeSoul (@leidysnodarse) on TikTok.

In the shared video, both use a spray bottle to mist water on their faces and necks. "My daughter is looking for solutions," she noted.

The girl explained that she used an empty perfume bottle, filled it with water, and spritzes her face, neck, and chest with it.

"Oh, how delicious!" the woman exclaimed, her face barely visible due to a blackout.

"Don't seek problems, seek solutions, as we already have enough problems," said the young mother, who has previously shared videos recorded during blackouts or related to them.

Recently, a Cuban was photographed at dawn while he was still sleeping, after spending the night on a rooftop on what appears to be a mattress and covered by a mosquito net.

It is a clever initiative to be able to sleep amid the constant and unbearable blackouts that plague the population across the Island.

"This is how the dawn breaks in Cuba," expressed the user Saúl Manuel on his Facebook account.

However, he is not the only Cuban who has had to resort to desperate measures to mitigate the heat and blackouts.

A mattress placed on a cart, covered by a mosquito net and outdoors, represents another form of "creative resistance" that some Cubans are currently using to make the blackouts affecting the population more bearable.

The heartbreaking scene was shared last June on Facebook by the user identified as Saúl Manuel, who accompanied the image with a brief text reflecting the anguish experienced by residents of the island after several years of blackouts: "This is how mornings begin in Cuba."
