Evapolar Mini Personal Air Cooler Review

Evapolar Mini Portable Air Cooler Review

Everybody seems to be fully channeling fall right now (and I’m definitely including myself in that statement), but our house is still firmly in summer mode. It’s hot in our little retro brick ranch, especially in the sunroom where we have 11 window’s worth of sunshine to deal with on clear days. We’ve mentioned the hot feeling inside our home to air conditioner pros, and have been told that that’s just one of the caveats of living in an old brick home that soaks up the sun and has less-than-modern insulation. Our AC does a great job of offsetting the heat during the warmer months of the year, but I’ve always wondered if there was a way for us to feel a just little more comfortable and cool.

Enter: our new personal air cooler! Did you even know that a personal air cooler was a thing? I certainly didn’t until I was approached by Evapolar to test one of theirs out. It was like fate took over in this instance, and led us straight to the solution for these still-sweltering days of early fall. To be clear, our new evaLIGHT Plus isn’t an air conditioner. Instead it’s a handy tabletop cooling box that blows the most deliciously chilled air wherever you happen to need it—at your desk, by your bed at night, or even in your own 11-windowed sunroom.

The readout numbers you see in the photo above show the actual temperature of the room (top number), and the temperature of the air coming from our evaLIGHT plus below. It cools, purifies, and humidifies the air, plus we can adapt the device lighting depending on our mood—or even to match the TV show we’re watching in the sunroom after dark, which is often when we need a personal cooler most this time of year. You can see the color-changing function demonstrated a few photos above. There are tons of fun colors to choose from, and no matter what we pick, the color always complements the “Crystal White” device that we chose. This tabletop cooler is super easy to use, too. Just fill with water, connect to power, and press the start button.

Which room in your home could use a personal air cooler? Since it’s portable, I see myself moving ours to my office on especially hot days this fall. I know we’re still due for plenty more of those, but now I don’t have to stress about them. Use my code “CARRIE30” to score 30% off your own personal air cooler from Evapolar when you click here!

My PeckPerk Smart Bird Feeder Review

I feel like you always hear that bird-watching naturally evolves into a person’s favorite hobby as they get older, and I can firmly admit to falling right into that routine. Over the last few years as I’ve eased into my late thirties, I’ve loved watching and following birds more and more often. John and I have a growing collection of bird books to help us identify native species in our neighborhood, and one of our favorite things to do on a quiet afternoon is sit on the back porch or in the sunroom watching backyard birds flock to the bird feeder on our dogwood tree. Of course, bird-watching isn’t just for us late-30-somethings—it’s fun for the whole family—but I will say that it’s a hobby I’ve developed “right on time,” as they say.

We recently stepped up our bird-watching abilities at home with a new solar-powered smart bird feeder from PeckPerk. This high tech feeder allows us to peek in on our resident birds without disturbing them, plus it’s got AI bird recognition, which means I never have to wonder what kind of bird it is. I love checking the app throughout the day to see who has stopped by for a snack. It’s got a 1080p Full-Color Night Vision Camera, making nighttime viewings possible, too!

John and I have gotten so attached to the birds who come back over and over again to our feeder, and we mayyyyyyy or may not have started naming them. Before, when we used just a traditional bird feeder, we never could get close enough to really see each bird’s unique features, but the camera lets us see their faces and feathers up close, so we can often tell if it’s a repeat visitor or not. Oh, and the camera also picks up sound, so we can hear them singing as well, which is one of my favorite features of this bird feeder.

That cardinal that you see pictured above via screenshots from my app has been back over and over again, so we’re definitely throwing around pet names for him. We’ve also spotted finches, chickadees, blue jays, and even a small woodpecker. My excitement is clearly bubbling over, but we’re genuinely so giddy over the footage we’ve captured with this smart bird feeder. What kinds of birds flock to your home? See them up close and personal with your own PeckPerk smart feeder, which you can snag here. I know it’s a little early to be talking about Christmas, but it really is the perfect gift for your fellow bird-obsessed friend or family member.
