Loading ...Stylish Ways to Keep Cool This Summer
8:58am / 18.11.2008
Just as vintage kimono fans are that much chic-er than a USB powered (and highly ineffective) desk fan, so too are these stylish twists on three common keep-cool gadgets and gizmos.
Perfect for keeping a Flossie lady cool this summer after a hard day at the office - or equally as good as a gift for those you love!

1. Your own personal soft-serve/frozen yoghurt maker
Cuisinart Mix It In Soft Serve ice cream maker (ICE-45A)
RRP: $249.00, for stockists see www.Cuisinart.co.nz
What’s not to love about a product with the tagline, ‘for the good life!’? While you could dash to the supermarket or dairy for an ice cream(a twenty minute round trip?), you could also create your own personal soft-serve or the slightly more styilsh, frozen yoghurt gourmet treat! In twenty minutes this magical machine whips up 1.5 litres of goodness. Also perfect for making a margarita or strawberry dacquiri slushy to cool off after a hard day at the office!
2. A vintage kimono chilled eye pillow
Soft blossom eye pillow
RRP: $15.00 (free shipping worldwide) for stockists see www.CherryBlossom.co.nz
Admit it. Cucumber slices don’t stay put (and are better in a salad) and a plastic goo-filled batman-style mask isn’t that good looking. What you really need to indulge your tired eyes, reduce puffiness and soothe your temples is one of Cherry Blossom’s eye pillows. Made from vintage Japanese kimono silk (no two pillows are the same) and filled with linseed, keep one of these in the fridge at all times - also great for the back of your neck.
3. Glamourous cooling mists for your body and face
Linden Leaves Gold mist and Linden Leaves foot reviver
RRP: $20.50 and $17.00 for stockists see www.LindenLeaves.com
Evian spritzers are so last year! Kiwi company Linden Leaves mixes practicality with lashings of style - their Gold mist contains actual flakes of 23K gold leaf floating around inside! Enriched with chamomile, witch hazel and avocado extract to tone and replenish delicate skin - the perfect tonic for skin dried by the sun or air conditioning. Their cooling, revitalising foot spritzer is equally good - formulated with sage and lemongrass essential oils to stimulate circulation, inhibit bacteria and revive weary feet - great for feet that swell in the heat, during travelling or long periods standing up.
