Rx for Hot Flashes: Pretty Fans!

Sometimes all you need for relief of hot flashes is a “bitty” breeze. That’s what Stephanie Redman, the creator of the Bitty Breeze Fan, had in mind when she designed these pretty, fold-away fans for women of a certain age. As she put it, you can use the fan “to turn a potentially awkward situation into a Audrey Hepburn moment!” They’re available in five stylish designs and two sizes (the larger one is only $10) and they fold up to fit neatly into a small purse. Sometimes the simplest, low-tech solutions work the best!

These are too cute! I’m trying to avoid hormonal treatment all together so these will certainly come in handy. I also just tried Restore hot flash spray the other day. It’s a handy little cooling spray that relieves you and alleviates hot flashes. Something to look into! http://www.restoreaid.com
