Dorm Life Done Right with @HoMedics MyChill Personal Space Cooler!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Looking for a great gift for that new college freshman headed to the hot and stuffy dorms?

Then let me recommend NEW MyChill from HoMedics!

HoMedics, a world leader in personal wellness products, recently launched its all-new, environmentally friendly, personal space cooler—MyChill. Available in two models, MyChill and MyChill Plus, both cool the air naturally using no harmful chemicals or refrigerants, and are capable of cooling the air up to 12 degrees.

MyChill is perfect for dorm rooms and other small living spaces, so it makes an ideal graduation or “back to school” gift.

Warm air is drawn into the MyChill unit and passes through a wet cooling medium. The warm air mixes with water held in the unit, triggering the water to evaporate and dissipate heat, resulting in cooler, moisturized air.

We were really excited to try out MyChill at our cabin up north in our children's bedroom. It gets hot and stuffy in there on these hot summer days and this MyChill personal space cooler was perfect to cool it down at night! It was easy to fill and use! We noticed a little cooler temps in there when using the MyChill but it definitely doesn't replace an AC unit for the really hot days.

This would work well on a desk when you are sitting right by it but it definitely doesn't cool down a room.

Buy It:

You can purchase MyChill in two models. The MyChill Personal Space Cooler, which retails for $79.99, provides a 4-foot cooling radius with two fan speeds. The MyChill Personal Space Cooler Plus retails for $99.99 and provides a 6-foot cooling radius with three fan speeds. MyChill is available at Bed Bath & Beyond and on www.homedics.com.

College Space Saving Solutions from SANUS‏

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I definitely know what dorm life and college houses are like. Been there, done that...no space, lots of roommates, and lots of stuff! From suite-style residences to Greek houses, small and frequently shared quarters can be a tight squeeze.

But this school year, don’t let cramped spaces limit décor possibilities. To maximize space, style and organization, add SANUS®, the #1 best selling TV mount brand in the United States, to the college prep checklist. It will definitely be a lifesaver and create more floor room in your bedroom, living room or even kitchen! It takes away a bulky TV stand and mounts your TV up on the wall for all to see!

Moving to college leaves students longing for the comforts of home—from bountiful space to more than basic cable. Mounting a television is an easy way to transform any college living space into a sleek, cozy retreat, away from busy campus life. SANUS mounts extend, tilt or swivel to provide the best viewing angle, while also freeing up valuable surface area on top of furniture that’s perfect for storing books and knick knacks. College is a big adjustment for students, but making living space comfortable shouldn’t have to be—SANUS is a smart solution for the majority of students who are tight on space.

SANUS’ sleek mounting solutions are engineered with top industry technologies and tested to UL2442 standards, guaranteeing both style and safety so have no worries sending these mounts with your kids to school!

We have a SANUS mount for each TV in our house and we love them! I don't think we will ever go back to a bulky TV stand again!
