Effective Permanent Hair Removal at Home: DEESS iLight3 Home IPL Beauty Device

January 31, 2018 · 10 Comments

If you’re reading this, you probably do not need to be convinced that most at-home hair removal methods are a time-consuming hassle. Shaving, waxing, tweezing or whatever method you use to remove unwanted hair can get uneven and short-term results.

Want a long-lasting, hair removal system? IPL laser treatments for hair removal at the doctor’s office or the spa are effective but expensive and time-consuming. That’s why we love the DEESS iLight3 Home IPL Beauty Device, a home IPL device for Permanent hair removal.

The GSD-approved DEESS iLight device makes at-home hair removal easy!

WHAT THIS KIT CONTAINS

One GSD-approved iLight device, one hair removal attachment, a plug outlet cord, and goggles with full instructions.

The DEESS iLight3 Home IPL Beauty Device set

HOW IPL LIGHT WORKS

The IPL uses the energy of short intense pulse light that is absorbed by the pigment within the hair follicle root. After repeated treatments, hair doesn’t grow back.

DEESS IPL treatment head

DEESS IPL treatment head emits a short burst of Intense Pulsed Light for about as long a camera flash, but much brighter

USES

The device can be used for arms, legs, underarms, facial and upper lip hair (except near the eyes).

Close view at the IPL light window

HOW IT WORKS

It’s convenient to do at home and simple to use.

  1. Shave the area before treatment.
  2. When you’re ready to begin, put on the light-shielding goggles and plug in the device. A red light will blink when its’ ready.
  3. Hold the button for three seconds to start, you will see blinking lights. Adjust the level as necessary, we’ll begin with default level one.
  4. Hold the device vertically on the skin, so that the light emitting window is positioned directly above the section to be treated.
  5. When the lights turn green, quickly click the button
  6. There will be a very bright flash of light. This is the IPL light treating that small section. REPEAT: ALWAYS wear the goggles, because the light is exceptionally bright and eyes must be shielded, as they would be in a professional treatment setting
  7. Move the device to the next area and click again, repeating the process until the area is covered, one click per section
  8. Once any redness subsides, treat the entire area again, one click per section.

FREQUENCY OF USE

If you can tolerate the device without discomfort, you can choose a more powerful setting than the lowest default level. This is especially useful for stubborn areas of unwanted hair. Most areas respond fastest to levels three to five, but lower levels will work fine, it might just take longer for permanent results.

Use the device weekly for one month, Then use it twice a week for the next two to three months.

Regular use gets results! Use for 10-12 weeks, hair grows thinner after 3-4 treatments. Touch up every 4 to 6 weeks for smooth, hair-free skin on areas such as legs, arms, and underarms.

DEESS is a more powerful device than many at-home hair removal products, which means results that last

MY RESULTS

I found it easy to use, and it was not at all painful. By comparison, I had my underarm hair removed at a spa and even with the numbing cream, it did hurt and it took three to four sessions spaced out over a few months to get results.

The DEESS iLight3 Home IPL Beauty Device not only didn’t hurt at all even upon more sensitive areas, but the results so far have been quite impressive. It compares very well with the results I got from a professional. Not only is it easier, faster, more sanitary, more private and more convenient to do the hair removal yourself at home, but it is far more cost-effective. The cost of just my underarm hair removal at a spa cost was almost double what the cost of the entire DEESS iLight3 Home IPL Beauty Device kit! With IPL laser hair removal for legs at a spa costing several hundred dollars and up, I was so pleased to see how quickly and effectively the DEESS iLight3 Home IPL Beauty Device has worked so far on my legs and legs, even stray hairs on toes and fingers.

TIP: The IPL light is VERY intense. Always wear the goggles while using the device!

DEESS

Regrowth is getting more and more sparse during the treatment timing, so I love not having to shave my legs as often. I also like that it accomplishes this on the one cartridge, whereas devices like NoNo! required multiple replacement cartridges over a short period of time and they were not nearly as effective. I also like that I can treat all problem hair areas: arms, armpits, legs, and upper lip with one device.

Beat Winter Beauty Blues: Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

November 26, 2017 · 1 Comment

Unless you are an animated protagonist from FROZEN, winter wrecks havoc with your hair and skin. Frigid temperatures, harsh winds, and forced indoor heating results in chapped, dry skin, hair that is brittle & flyaway, dry, irritated noses, and chapped lips. Fight back with a Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier to restore the moisture that forced indoor heat and winter weather robs from your hair & skin.

How I feel in the Winter when my hair and skin get dry.

How I feel in the Winter when my hair and skin get dry.

OVERVIEW

A good way to ensure your skin stays supple and your hair remains hydrated during the rough winter months is a humidifier. We like the Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier for overnight use because it not only is super-quiet but can run even at maximum speed for up to twenty-one hours without requiring a refill.

And BONUS, instead of having to replace traditional filters, it uses a demineralization cartridge that is re-washable and reusable.

ABOUT THE CLARION AIR ULTRASONIC COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

Many of us likely used a humidifier to ease the congestion associated with childhood illnesses, but they were noisy and erratic in output. The Clarion Air has several features that blow away the humidifiers of our youth.

FEATURES

Features include auto shut-off, cool mist, 1.3 gallon capacity for 21 hours of continuous use

Features include auto shut-off, cool mist, 1.3 gallon capacity for 21 hours of continuous use

  • 21 Hour Continuous Use: The 1.3-gallon capacity is large enough to provide 21-hour continuous use even when used on max speed. There are no hourly refills needed so it is ideal for use overnight.
  • Virtually silent: It produces no humming or whirring sound when in use, making it ideal for use while sleeping, even in a nursery. Promotes restful, healthful sleep.
  • Filter-Free: Instead of disposable cartridges and filters to constantly buy, use, throw away and replace, the vaporizer uses a washable, reusable and effective demineralization cartridge that works for a year. This means less cost to you and less waste in landfills, making this unit an environmentally responsible choice.

It comes with two demineralization cartridges that are washable, reusable and last for up to one year

  • Strong, easy to use handle 

Easy to use, strong handle

  • BONUS: Plus there is a free Bonus of 1 extra demineralization cartridge (2 total for two years of no replacement parts)

  • Easier to Clean: Simply wipe all over with a soft, damp cloth to keep the humidifier free of harmful germs & mold. This is much easier than my previous devices that required a full clean up to keep the mold away.
  • 2-Year Warranty
  • Well packaged with each piece in plastic overwrap
Very well packed for personal use or as a gift

Very well packed for personal use or as a gift

REASONS TO USE AN ULTRASONIC HUMIDIFIER

  • Stops dry skin, bloody noses, and chapped lips resulting from irritated sinuses, allergies or illness.
  • Helps alleviate problems related to the dehydrating nature of winter heating including static electricity and cracks in paint and furniture.
  • The Center for Disease Control found that keeping the relative humidity levels indoors in the range of 43% – 60% helps prevent the movement of germs, including the flu virus.

BEAUTY BENEFITS OF USING THE Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

Skincare products are most effective with moisture: Does your nighttime face or eye cream contain Hyaluronic Acid? Did you know Hyaluronic Acid makes skin look so plump and dewy because it pulls moisture from the air? Using the Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier is ideal to pair with overnight beauty creams that contain Hyaluronic Acid, which draws moisture from the air into your skin. If there is no moisture in the air, Hyaluronic leaves skin looking drier, older and irritated. By using a humidifier at night, the air has enough moisture to supply the Hyaluronic Acid the hydration it needs to make your skin dewy and supple.

Is your regular skincare regimen too harsh on your skin in the winter? It may just be the overly dry air, consider using a humidifier in your bedroom and home office before discontinuing effective skincare products.

Also, a better nights’ sleep is a definitively hard-to-beat beauty boost no chapped lips and noses from breathing dry air, skin stays moist no waking up with dry, red eyes, a sore throat, and no keeping your partner up with snoring due to dry nasal passages.

To get the most out of your pricey nighttime moisturizers, use a humidifier overnight so that the air your bedroom is not overly dry, thereby robbing your skin of moisture. The Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier can be run overnight without requiring a refill.

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE Clarion Air Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier

It is easy to fill and carry with no leaks. The directions are seen on the top of the box and in the user manual.

Easy to follow, concise user manual

I filled the tank, secured back the cap, and it goes directly back onto the base.

Unscrew the water container cap following the directive arrows

Fill with water. and replace the cap with the demineralization cartridge already attached. Place back on the base

 

Plug it in and turn the dial to the desired output level

Plug it in and turn the easy to use dial to the desired output level

The Ultrasonic feature makes for a very fine mist that does not leave the room, floor or surrounding furniture damp.

I really like the automatic shut off feature so I can leave it on overnight or if I forget about it being on before I leave the house in the morning, I don’t have to worry.

RESULTS

Using the humidifier this week, I didn’t wake up with a dry mouth, or with dry, red eyes. My skin was soft instead of feeling tight and a bit itchy and my lips were not their usual dry, chapped morning selves.

I did also find that I slept better, even though I didn’t have a cold or a cough, the moisture made it easier for me to breathe.

My night time moisturizer creams seem to work better with more moisture in the air.

CONCLUSION

A virtually silent, cool mist humidifier that can run for ten hours on one tank fill. Suitable for use in a nursery or bedroom, it is an energy-efficient way to keep your home more comfortable during dry winter months. Easy to set up, fill and use with no filter, it is safe to leave on overnight, making for a better nights’ sleep during the winter. It replenishes harsh winter indoor air with the level of moisture necessary to support keeping hair hydrated and skin dewy, as well as reduce maintaining the optimal humidity for reducing germs and flu virus within the home. With easy cleanup and no filters to replace, it is an environmentally sound choice for sleeping and looking better this winter.

November 14, 2017 · 4 Comments

The stylish Oscaurt Anti-theft Travel Backpack Laptop Bag with USB Charging Port holds my iMac, tablet, wallet and drawing tablet safely while I walk around campus and work. And it’s silver/black color scheme looks great

OVERVIEW

The Oscaurt Anti-Theft Laptop Backpack is a stylish and ergonomically built, well padded and sturdy backpack that safely holds a concealed laptop and wares in padded inner pockets, as well as multiple internal hidden zipper pockets and sleeves for concealing valuables like cash, passports, phones, tablets, credit cards, as well as work accessories including space for paper presentations, USBs, glasses, pens, paperwork, and even jewelry. With its’ accessible water bottle compartment and built-in USB charger port, it is ideal for the fashionable overnight traveler who carries expensive laptops, cameras, drawing tablets and other equipment around campus or work, or for those who commute or walk through crowded areas with valuable items they wish to keep safe.

Deep inside pockets and zippered pockets can keep cash, phones, passports and other items handy yet safe

INTENDED USE

This bag is intended for the needs of an adult professional, traveler or student who carries their laptop with them for professional, academic or personal use. Whereas junior high school style bags have large capacity single space compartments to accommodate textbooks and a lunchbox, that style backpack can’t protect valuable electronics. The Oscaurt Anti-Theft backpack is geared for adults who carry a laptop to work or school, and it is ideal for someone who likes to work remotely at a coffee shop because they can carry their laptop and all their supplies neatly in all the pockets, it’s like having a portable office stored safely within a convenient backpack!

Carry everything you need to work away from the office

DESIGN AESTHETIC

The Oscaurt Anti-Theft laptop backpack is made with a color scheme of black and metallic silver with a light sheen that matches nicely with many colors, such as this icy pink, platinum, and purple variegated blouse.  The colors are neutral and work for both males and females.

It looks like a regular stylish backpack so it does not alert thieves or pickpockets to the fact that it holds valuable electronics

 

No need to worry about laptops slipping out of the secure padded cases

 

Even when overstuffed, the backpack’s waterproof material is highly durable and retains its’ shape

THE BAG IN ACTION: DESIGN FEATURES

  • WIDE PADDED SHOULDER STRAPS: The shoulder straps are wide so the weight is evenly distributed and does not strain the shoulders or back, the straps are also padded so it does not leave marks or wrinkles on work clothing

Wide, comfortably padded shoulder straps make the bag ergonomically friendly to carry

 

Thick Padding on Shoulder Straps

 

Underside of padded shoulder straps

The side view of the padded shoulder straps:

COMFORT PADDING: The shoulder straps and inside back of the backpack have a quilted impact cushion back for maximum comfort and ergonomic carrying of heavy items.

Quilted impact absorbing padding that lays against the upper back when worn

 

  • WATER BOTTLE SIDE POCKETS: Side pockets can hold a water bottle safely away from electronics and valuables within an accessible but deep and wide pocket

Overhead view of deep side pockets

 

Two side pockets to hold water bottles or coffee thermoses

  • PICKPOCKET-PROOF ANTI-THEFT CONCEALED ZIPPER: Deter pickpockets and thieves from identifying access to your bag contents with the hidden zipper. The zipper of the main pocket is fully hidden in the back of this bag, no theft will easily open your backpack. 

 

An overflap, seen here flipped up, normally folds down and completely conceals this zipper, keeping the contens hidden and safe

  • HANDLE: Secure, easy to carry, ergonomic handle of ease of hand carrying

The handle is padded, secure, and ergonomically easy to carry without chafing the skin

Internal laptop sleeve can hold laptops, drawing tablets and devices

Thick and well-stitched velcro adhered strap keeps valuable electronics safe

Sturdy velcro strap keeps laptops in place

  • NIGHT SAFETY REFLECTIVE TAPE: This is a feature I have never seen in an adult laptop case before and it is an excellent idea: there’s reflective tape on the front of the bag to make the bag conspicuous at night, making it safer to walk at night. If you take night classes, this is very worthwhile for walking home or to your car.  Most professionals dressed for work would not be wearing any reflective clothing, so this makes night time classes so much safer.  This also makes the bag very useful for those who work the night shift or late hours, such as in a hospital.

INSIDE POCKET FEATURES

The inside of the backpack has a padded laptop sleeve that holds laptops up to 15″ and if the laptop is slim, up to 15.6″. There are also multiple hidden open and zippered pockets for storing valuables

  • USB CHARGE PORT CABLE: External USB with built-in charging cable offers a convenient charging of your electronic device on the go, such as phones or tablets.

USB

  • CONVENIENT SIZE AND CAPACITY: Not too big to carry yet large enough to hold all your in-transit computer needs. The size is 11.02″ x 4.92″x 16.93″ inches.
  • MULTI-COMPARTMENT: for holding a computer mouse, earbuds, headphones, VR equipment

Deep pockets to hold notebooks, gear, wallets, glasses, camera cases, etc.

  • ZIPPERED POCKETS: to hold small items such as keys, pens, wallets, cellphones, books, credit or gift cards, etc. SO MANY POCKETS!

Pen loops, deep pocket for hand sanitizer and lip gloss, zippered pocket for cash, passport, phone

Hidden pockets everywhere!

Hidden wallet compartment is completed concealed but easily accessible

MY EXPERIENCE USING THE BAG

The bag is sturdy and holds my laptop safely as well as all my gear including a sketchbook, notepad, my tablet, scarf, my bento lunch box, my computer glasses and sunglasses, my phone and other gear. There is room to store my drawing tablet in addition to my laptop. The laptop compartment is padded and safe.

The material holds up well, it is a high-quality EVA. I like this because if I overpack the bag, it will not damage it or stretch it out.

Even when I overpack my scarf, laptop, tablet, bento box, snack, wares and other items, it zips closed and retains its’ shape

It is comfortable carrying it both by the shoulder straps and by the handle. I really like that the back of the case has a special padded material that both creates a cushion and reduces heat conduction so that it is comfortable to carry the backpack even in hot weather.

Full view of the padding on the inside back of the backpack

The hidden zipper is easy to access if you know where it is, and the side pockets are deep enough to accommodate my oversized water bottle without tipping over.

The USB Port cable is very useful when using my laptop at a coffee shop and I want to charge my phone while I work.

BETTER BEAUTY SLEEP: L’émouchet White Noise Machine

October 27, 2017 · 7 Comments

 

No matter how makeup and skin brightening products we slather on our face, it’s tough to fake the look a good night’s rest. For the light sleepers of the world, all kinds of noises ranging from city traffic to the neighborhood dogs to a hooting owl or howling coyote in the distance, these harmless noises can keep one awake all night. How about a sleep partner who “breathes freely” to full-on snores and keeps you awake? You may be tempted to use earplugs to sleep, but what if there is noise in the night you want to be awakened for? A child crying, an alarm, a fire, or something else worth getting up? Fortunately, there are white noise machines: loud enough to conceal innocuous but annoying noises, not so loud that you can’t hear what is important. We like the L’emouchet White Noise Machine for getting a good night’s sleep because it has so many options and high-quality, therapeutic sounds, including the hard to find brown noise.

The L’emouchet White Noise Machine is a compact, effective white noise sleep machine with 15 different sounds and multiple options to tailor to your personal sleeping needs

 

HOW WHITE NOISE WORKS

White noise tricks the brain into hearing some sound, but not sounds that arouse the brain into being too alert to sleep. The brain knows it hears something, but it is not a threat. Some sounds are even relaxing or therapeutic, such as ocean waves, a campfire or the rainforest. The brain can still hear important sounds like your bedroom door opening or someone calling your name, but not every little noise outside.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE L’EMOUCHET WHITE NOISE MACHINE

White noise machines have a variety of sounds to drown out unwanted sounds such as traffic, a TV or loud music in a nearby room or apartment or the neighbors barking dog. The L’emouchet White Noise Machine has 15 Non-Looping Fan and Soothing realistic Sleep Therapy Sounds including:

  • White noise, an ambient non-discernable noise pattern that quells out distinct noises
  • Rainforest
  • Thunder
  • Windchime
  • Fan
  • Wind
  • Campfire
  • Ocean
  • Seagull
  • Brook
  • Birds
  • Bubble
  • Typhoon
  • Rain
  • Brown noise is an unusual inclusion with a white noise machine. It has a “damped” or “soft” quality compared to white noise, very little static. The sound is a “low roar” like a waterfall or rainstorm. It is very helpful for those who have difficulty reaching sleep stages deep enough to dream.

LISTEN TO THE THERAPY SOUNDS

Listen and watch this video to hear all of the sounds this machine has:

http://www.stylechicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/soundmachine.mp4

FEATURES

  • AUTO TIMER SETTINGS include 30, 60, 90 minutes or all night timers.
  • EASY TO USE INTERFACE has volume, sound memory function, built-in speaker and
  • HEADPHONE JACK: audio-out headphone jack if your sleep partner or roommate does not want to hear the white noise machine.
  • OPTIMAL SOUND VOLUME with five volume increments to best suit your needs. For masking other noises to sleep, an adult typically plays the volume a bit louder than they might have music playing in a room, but you may prefer softer for sleeping. For a baby or pets, the volume is generally adjusted lower.
  • LIGHT-WEIGHT & COMPACT DESIGN it is the ideal size for travel and doesn’t take up a lot of space on a nightstand or desk.
  • FREE SLEEP MASK: The machine comes with a free, comfortable sleep mask to help you block out bright light and other distractors.

Sleep mask with adjustable straps and silky material

  • USER MANUAL: Easy to understand, concise user manual

Concise User Manual

  • WELL PACKED: This is a very well packed sturdy box that is suitable for presenting to someone if giving it as a gift

Well packaged in a sturdy box with plastic overwrap and thick cardboard partitions to keep each component safe

HOW TO USE THE L’EMOUCHET WHITE NOISE MACHINE

The volume level should be set slightly louder than normal music listening level, but still, a level that is comfortable enough to listen to and still doze off.

MY EXPERIENCE

It is very easy to assemble, insert the plug jack at the base, plug it in, and turn it on with a press of the large center on/off button.

I found the sound quality and variety of sounds that the L’emouchet White Noise Machine has to be superior to other white noise machines I have tried, there is not the “AM Radio” type static that is often heard with noise machines, and the sounds are superior in that they are not looped, meaning I can’t detect when the sound starts over in a discernable pattern. I find this more lifelike and relaxing.

I especially like the water-based sounds including the ocean and rainfall sounds, and the brown noise is highly relaxing for both me and for pets. It drowns out the sound of the neighborhood dog that tends to bark at each car passing down the street at night, as well as traffic sounds. I can still hear noises in the house such as a door opening or someone speaking to me in the room. The brown noise lulls me to sleep faster, and when I do wake up, the sound makes me sleepy so it is easier to get back to sleep.

POTENTIAL USES

FOR PETS
Keep pets that are home alone company during the day with some soothing sounds

FOR CHILDREN OR BABIES
Help children with early bedtimes sleep better while adults are still awake in the house.

WHILE TRAVELING
Some people, including myself, have difficulty getting to sleep somewhere other than their own bed in their own home. Do you experience difficulty sleeping somewhere new with strange noises?

What about when staying at a hotel where other guests arrive at all hours of the night, talking loudly in the hallways and slamming doors? Some hotels come with complimentary earplugs for this purpose. The L’emouchet White Noise Machine fits into a suitcase and is ideal for drowning out noises you don’t want to hear when staying in a hotel or when you are a guest in someone else’s home.

DAYTIME POWER NAPS AND NIGHT SHIFT WORKERS
Sometimes you just have to get some sleep during the day to regroup and refresh or recover from illness, or you worked the night shift. It is difficult, however, to sleep while daytime household noises are going on and it is bright outside. The L’emouchet White Noise Machine helps provide an environment conducive to daytime sleep.

DROWN OUT NOISY OFFICE ENVIRONMENTS OR ROOMMATES
If you work from a home office, the noise of the household can disrupt your work and may even be overheard while you are on the phone. A white noise machine can drown out household noise so you can concentrate.

Do you share a college dorm room with someone who is noisy? Drown out a loud roommate by using the audio jack to listen to the white noise with earbuds or headphones.

 

CONCLUSION

A must-have for light sleepers who are awoken by every little sound in the house, for night shift workers who need to sleep during the day, and for travelers, the L’emouchet White Noise Machine provides 15 sound options including the very gentle Brown Noise option. It is small enough to fit into a suitcase and does not take up much room on a nightstand. Easy to operate, The L’emouchet White Noise Machine helps you get a better night’s sleep, and better sleep means better beauty.

Stylish yet Powerful Aromatherapy at Home: TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser

October 19, 2017 · 10 Comments

 

Nothing makes a home feel welcoming like a refreshing scent. Essential oil diffusers can compensate for the lack of fresh air during the cold winter months. Their benefits go far beyond making the air smell better, essential oil diffusers employ aromatherapy to improve health, uplift a mood, provide valuable moisture into forced air environments, energize, improve mental clarity and cleanse the air of germs and bacteria. While essential oil diffusers can be a vital part of health and well-being in a home, they are also often rather unsightly. That is why we love the combination of style and function found in the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser.

TruGardens Essential Oil DIffuser emits a soft glow from the LED light

WHY USE A DIFFUSER

Safer than burning a scented candle, longer lasting than burning incense, and more environmentally friendly than a scented air freshener spray that propels artificial chemicals into the air, a diffuser safely and naturally adds both moisture into the air with the potent power of aromatherapy. Diffuser based Aromatherapy is safe around both pets and children. Aromatherapy via a diffuser can be used to improve a mood, but also to affect health benefits. Some benefits include diffusing Eucalyptus Essential Oil to open up congested airway passages during a cold or flu, and Tea Tree Oil to cleanse the air of bacteria, germs, and even mold.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE TRUGARDENS ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Bamboo grain base with soft LED optional light top

The TruGardens diffuser is suitable for home or office and boasts a number of features. First off, one notices the attractive bamboo grain base with an LED light that fits into both modern and traditional decors.

It looks aesthetically pleasing but subtly blends into the decor. But the real appeal to me of the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffusers is its’ options and safety features.

FEATURES

LED LIGHT

The LED light is optional but adds a soft glow of color to your home or office while diffusing the pleasing aroma. The color choices are selected at the touch of a button, they include soft white light, magenta pink, poppy red, light baby blue, dark blue, and light green. There is also an option to rotate through all the colors as they morph from yellows to golds to orange to red to pinks, magenta, purples, light to deep blues and greens. See the included user manual guide for these settings.

Press the left button to change the color of the light, as seen here to blue or one of the other color options.

It is bright enough to provide some light at night, but not so much light so as to distract from sleep.

Pink glowing light option warms from a soft pink into a magenta

EASY TO USE ONE TOUCH BUTTONS

The one-touch buttons control the LED light color options and mist.

The TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser has a 300ml capacity or a bit over ten ounces. The fill indicator notes three fill levels depending on your needs ranging from a small office cubicle to a large open room. This provides ample water to run even overnight or for a full workday without having to refill it. Generally, it only takes a few minutes to remove a stale odor or to infuse even a large room, so the TruGarden Diffuser doesn’t need constant refills yet still has a small footprint on a nightstand, table, or shelf.

Pre-measured fill lines, seen here filled to the 300ML mark. The 300ml level is about 10 ounces and will last overnight

AUTO SHUT OFF SAFETY FEATURE

TruGardens diffuser has an auto waterless shut off when the water runs out for added safety. I like this feature as it makes it safe to leave the TruGardens diffuser on overnight, even in a child’s room, or to leave it unattended in the kitchen. I like that if I doze off or forget about it being on, that there’s no danger. It also makes it safe to leave on when I leave the house so I can come home to a lovely diffused scent, which is something I enjoy.

Speaking of safety, the TruGarden diffuser comes with CE, FCC and RoH certificates.

TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser can be used safely around plants, pets, and children to diffuse essential oils into the air

SILENT

It makes no noise at ALL, so it is very useful for using at night, or discretely using it diffuse in an office setting. It is so quiet, the first time I used it I wasn’t sure it was turned on until I saw the billow of mist coming from the top of the device.

Something I particularly like about the silent feature, apart from making it quiet enough to use while sleeping, is it is also quiet when used in the office. Do you have a workmate that microwaves pungent foods for lunch that permeate the whole office? Discretely diffuse Peppermint or lemon in your office space to eradicate the smell from around YOU. The TruGardens Essential Oil diffuser is so quiet, that no one will even hear it running, meanwhile, your nose and clothes are saved from the smelly meal du jour.

It is also useful if someone is sick in the office and you wish to diffuse some purifying oils, or if you are the sickie and want to diffuse Eucalyptus oil to survive the day without coughing so much you drive everyone else crazy.

So quiet it is suitable for use at night or in the office

ADJUSTABLE MOISTURE OUTLET

The moisture level can be adjusted to accommodate a very dry room (such as due to forced air heat during the winter), or for allergies.

Of note, the moisture outlet does not sputter, the surface that I had the diffuser resting upon did not become covered with a surrounding layer of wet dew as can happen with some diffusers. With some diffusers I have had to put down a towel to absorb the ring of moisture they leave, but not with the TruGardens Essential Oil Diffuser.

This no-sputter feature is in part due to the controlled mist-flow cap that doesn’t allow splashes of water to escape, leading to a very fine mist of steam that easily evaporates into the air.

HOW TO USE THE TRUEGARDENS DIFFUSER

Add 2-3 drops of essential oils per 100ml of water. If the container is filled to the 300ml fill line, use a maximum of 6-9 drops.

ABOUT TRUGARDENS ESSENTIAL OILS

Some diffusers “burn” the essential oils with overheating to disseminate the scent. TruGardens Diffuser does not burn the oils. TruGardens also has Essential Oils that work best with their diffusers. We tried the TruGardens Zen Essential Oil, a pleasant, relaxing scent that is a combination of mind-clearing, relaxing essential oils. Only a drop or two was necessary to diffuse the large open space room near the kitchen with a fresh, relaxing scent ideal for winding down after an exhausting day at work or school.

The TruGardens Essential Oil “Zen” is a relaxing melody of essential oils blended to perfection that includes Clary Sage, Frankincense, Orange, Patchouli, Thyme, Ylang-Ylang – ideal for relaxing after a stressful day, no one scent is overwhelming even though individually these scents may overpower, together they are blended for optimal relaxation
