Having you own personal summer?

Thankfully, I have not quite reached this point yet....and I am really not looking forward to it.   But I work in a mostly female profession and quite a few of my co-workers are pre-menopausal.  On any given day at least one of them will break out in a flushed sweat and start to fan themselves in our morning meeting while the rest of us look on in pity.   Often they will state something along the lines of they are "having my own private summer."

Now, since our offices are controlled on a central thermostate, they are kept at a pretty constant temp of 70 degrees or so.  Not so comfortable when you are in the mist of a blazing hot flash apparently.  So, one of my co-workers bought this cute little clip on fan for her office.  And if I do say so myself, it is PERFECT.  

Most fans are bulky and ugly but not this cute little thing.  It takes up virtually no room as she can clip it high on a cabinet and it blows straight into her face, without blowing her desk papers all over the place!  So while other co-workers are fanning themselves with brochures or worse have a regular fan blowing on them and threatening to scatter their papers all over, this lady is just sitting comforabally in her office going about her business :0)

  3. I had a menopausal coworker who used a clip on fan for those hot flashes. She loved hers. She kept hers in her purse and pulled it out as needed.

  6. In answer to your title question, YES. And it's been going on (and off, and on, and off, and...) for much too long now. I'd like to be done now, please! Great review, I REALLY need one of these. REALLY REALLY need one...

    1. Laurel, have you tried black cohosh for hot flashes? It works!

  11. I haven't gotten there yet either, but sometimes I wonder. My husband had one of these fans that he used at the office before he started working form home. Thanks for sharing, great review.

  12. I love the portability of this fan. Thanks for sharing.

  13. A couple of ladies in my office have fans like this one. They use them because one end of the aisle (mine) feels like 60 degrees and their end of the aisle feels like 75! Weird!

  14. Cute. Sort of like the fan for the bus driver. And boy are those important if you are a bus driver in the summer!
