Summer is my favorite season, and if I could, I'd spend all three months lounging on the beach, relishing the cool ocean water and sublime coastal breeze. But sadly, a girl has other priorities. Between working (in my un-air-conditioned apartment, might I add), travel, events, workout classes, and concerts, there are many opportunities for me to feel uncomfortably hot and sweaty this season. My usual refresh regimen of deodorant, perfume, and face mist hasn't been cutting it during this L.A. heatwave, so lately, I've refused to leave the house without the Shark ChillPill™ Personal Cooling System ($150).
When you think of summer must-haves, items like bronzer, sunscreen, and wave spray probably come to mind first—not personal fans. I'll be honest: Whenever I'd see someone holding one, I always thought it was a little, well, extra. But now, I get the hype. This one isn't just a fan, though. It's a customizable high-speed fan with 10 different speed levels, an evaporative dry-touch mist that refreshes your skin without soaking it, and—drumroll, please—a cryo-inspired InstaChill cooling plate that delivers cooling relief you can feel instantly.
Whether you use it for sweet relief after a workout class, prop it onto your desk to refresh at the office, or clip it to a lanyard for your music festival, you'll be glad you have this fan. I will 100% be leaning into feeling shamelessly extra while using my bougie little personal cooling system, thank you very much! Want to join me?
