Review of CLOSE COMFORT Cool Focus and Igloo Tent

Sponsored

With Singapore's tropical climate, the merciless heat and humidity is not exactly conducive for working-from-home and keeping your air conditioner on for 9 hours per day is not sustainable, financially or environmentally. 

Filming beauty tutorials at home without a cool environment is definitely a no-no for the sweaty me, yet long exposure to the cold air of home air-conditioning led to excessive facial sebum on my dehydrated skin (yikes!). With all this issues on my mind, I have been actively searching for sustainable alternatives. Hence, an energy-saving personal portable air-conditioner sounds like an excellent solution!

CLOSE COMFORT Cool Focus

I have friends who personally recommended CLOSE COMFORT Cool Focus + Igloo Tent to me because they have truly enjoyed using this compact & convenient portable air conditioner and assured me that it is the best option out there!

Cool Focus Portable Air Conditioner (SGD649) is mainly made of plastic on its exterior and has a white glossy finish. There is a front (cold air) and back (warmer air), distinguished by a bigger front flap and a smaller back flap which Close Comfort named them as "air covers". This compact unit measures 55.0cm x 27.3cm x 38.5cm (HxWxD) and weighs 17kg. With quality caster wheels fitted at its base, you won't feel the weight at all. Handles are built at the sides for easy lifting, when necessary,

Igloo Tent (SGD129)

Invented by Close Comfort's founder, this unique Igloo Tent is ingeniously designed to work together with Cool Focus Portable Air Conditioner Unit to up the cooling effect by 12°C. Comes in the latest self-erecting technology, it doubles as a glamping tent and can be fitted onto a double, Queen size and King size bed and act as a mosquito protection net! Setting up and packing away the tent takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it, it is almost effortless. Video demonstration and instructions can be found here.

WHY I CHOSE CLOSE COMFORT instead of other portable air-conditioners?

Review of CNP LABORATORY Invisible Peeling Booster and Propolis Energy Ampule

Advertorial

As a beauty blogger and skincare enthusiast, keeping my skin healthy is a top priority. But sad to say, I have not been to a professional facial ever since the pandemic started. Staying safe ranks highest in our list of life priorities nowadays, right?

Since going for regular facials or upkeeping our dermatologists appointments can pose a challenge whenever restrictions are amped up, you & I will have to look for home alternatives to continue keeping our skin in tip-top condition.  

Two weeks ago, I have been invited to a 7 Day Skincare Challenge by CNP Laboratory! (You guys know how much I love these challenges!) 

Introducing two of CNP Laboratory bestsellers: 

Invisible Peeling Booster and Propolis Energy Ampule.

Invisible Peeling Booster and Propolis Energy Ampule may be used separately, they do not come in a set. For the purpose of product review, I tried both products day and night together, for 7 days and beyond.

Happy 2021!

In a post-pandemic world, what has changed for you?

Many things have changed for me : some major, some small, and most, emotional.

I wish I can chat with you face to face. I wish I can personally say thank you to all of you who have supported Faithy Vanity Table in any way, all through these 6 years.

This February, Faithy Vanity Table celebrates its 6th blog anniversary. 

It's been a wild ride! I'd always beat myself up for not blogging more. I want to create more writings because writing is my first love, but my time/resources are limited and my attention span on the blog tapered off, shifting my focus more on building a presence on Instagram as the years glided past... 

I think most of you know at the same time, I was  in teaching, juggling between multiple small businesses and passion projects, volunteering at mental health sites (online & local), and FVT has always been just a side hustle - one that takes up a significant part of my time.

But this year 2021, THINGS WILL CHANGE.

Faithy Vanity Table will be revamped. Not just a website design change.

FVT WILL GET BIGGER AND BETTER.

Faithy Vanity Table pivots to another site that welcomes more
likeminded individuals!

If you have heard of BuyMeACoffee.com, you already know the idea behind the site is for creators to share their passion and creations, and the site is an extremely user-friendly one where communities engage and creators are able to receive appreciation for their efforts via their fans' monetary support. In other words, you can donate to your favourite creators over at buymeacoffee.com to support their work.

No, I am not advertising for their website. I am a real happy user because the platform is going to benefit both you and I! And I invite you to see what I am up to over there. 

Your time is precious, so I want to give you a brief heads up of what to expect when you follow me over to the other side.

Topics include but not limited to beauty & health, wellness & mental health, love & relationships, unspoken truths about social media community, SG media industry, airline industry; we can even chat about politics, philosophy, religion if you'll let me! 😂 But okay, mainly Beauty, Health & Wellness related topics.
