Weekly Favourite | Portable Mini Fan Combats Hot Flashes + Insomnia

This week's Weekly Favourite is much like last week's, in that it is more like an all-time favourite/ where have you been all my life?!

If you have trouble sleeping, toss and turn in bed all night,  have hot flashes or just run hot, you might need this portable handheld fan. 

I had no idea how much I needed this mini handheld fan until I used it. It single-handedly stops my hot flashes in their tracks and turns my nights of tossing and turning into nights of waking up a few times instead. 

This mini fan fits in the palm of my hand. It has 3 speeds and charges with a USB cable. It has a battery built in so you can take it on the go, and can also run it while it's plugged in. I actually let it run all night long while I'm sleeping and use it many times during the day, especially when a hot flash hits. I have only used it on the low setting, which gives me a nice gentle, cooling breeze and it's quite quiet on low. 

It comes with a small base (shown above) which keeps it upright on my table. I keep it nearby all day and anytime a hot flash hits, I reach for the fan, aim it at my face, turn it on low and within seconds my hot flash is obliterated! It's truly amazing! Until I find a way to balance my hormones to get rid of hot flashes altogether, this little fan is working miracles at stopping my hot flashes. Even if you don't have hot flashes, but run hot and feel uncomfortable, this fan will surely come in handy to cool you down anytime. 

From the very first night that I used this fan while I slept, I couldn't believe the difference when I woke up the next day and found I had only woken up a few times instead of tossing and turning ALL night long. I have a small turbofan at the other end of my room that I also run at night and it helps keep the room cooler and gives me the white noise that I need, but there is something about the cool, gentle breeze in my face from this mini fan that is making a huge difference for me. I keep it plugged in on my bedside table and aim it at my face while I sleep and the improvement in my sleep is amazing, something I wasn't even expecting! The fan only cost me $19 with taxes, but I really couldn't put a price on it in terms of the benefits that I'm reaping!

Portable and fits in the palm of my hand. Can be charged and used on the go. Also works while plugged in with the USB cable.

The fan can be tilted up and down.

This portable mini fan has been invaluable to me for improving my sleep and stopping my hot flashes in their tracks. I honestly didn't think I needed this fan because I already have a turbofan in my bedroom that I run at night but I was wrong. I need this fan more than anything at this point. I had no idea how much I would benefit from it or I would have purchased one long ago and I wish I had. As they say, better late than never. 

There are so many mini fans like this to choose from and prices range from $10 and up. Some can be charged and used on the go while some others only operate while plugged in. Some are noisier than others, and there are various sizes and colours, too. Luckily, Amazon has a good return policy so you can find the one that works for you.

My Experince:

I have tried tons of stress busting supplements and a lot of them just don't work or I have an adverse reaction to them. I love that SHINE Health's Unstress only contain 2 ingredients, so there is less chance of having a negative reaction of some sort. 

I've been taking these every day for over 10 days now. It was on the 2nd day that I noticed that I was handling the stress in my life so much better! The effect is subtle as it's not like I take a capsule and suddenly feel relaxed. I am just handling all of life's stresses so much better, no longer feeling tied up in a knot like I'm going to combust! My mind in relaxed, and clearer. My sleep has also improved. I still wake up prematurely, but I'm usually able to fall back asleep now. As a result, I am much happier, as are the people around me, and I'm much more productive than I've been in a long time!

I feel that the more stress you are under, the more you may notice results. I've been dealing with a tremendous amount of stress due to serious family health issues and many other factors, it has been quite debilitating for me. But, as I mentioned, after taking the Unstress supplements, I am feeling  a lot less stressed and therefore I'm more productive.

Another thing that I've noticed is that the hot flashes that I had recently started getting have stopped! I'm not sure if it's related to this supplement or not, but I definitely need to look into it. 

I love that you only have to take one per day.  The eco-friendly, compostible packaging is the icing on the cake!

I am completely thrilled with this product and my results! I highly recommend giving them a try if you too need some stress relief. You can either make a one time purchase or you can subscribe to make sure that you don't run out.
