An air purifier could make you ridiculously good-looking

It’s that time of the year, the days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer and allergies are starting to kick in.

Being an asthmatic in spring is not the best. When everyone is soaking up the sun at the newest rooftop bar, I’m having an allergic meltdown; my nose runs like a tap and breathing proves to be a challenge. My wheezing body feels like it's being attacked by a corset. Seriously Kimmy K, I don’t know how you can wear them?

I am the biggest OTT complainer, I love the attention, what can I say? I have voiced my ‘spring sickness’ with every single person I’ve met. But it wasn’t until recently that someone suggested I try an air purifier.

At first I had mixed feelings …

  1. I couldn’t be bothered to do the research on the product and venture out of my house to buy one

  2. I would have to sell one of my arms to be able to afford one

  3. What the hell is an air purifier?

However, I decided to be an adult and put my health first (because I cannot afford to take another sick day from work, my boss will freak) and see if an air purifier was going make a difference.

Here is what went down:

Day 1

After installing, I was confused; it looked exactly like the Microsoft home office paper clip; I immediately had a flashback to those painful school assessments days! My dog was also terrified; she did not stop barking all night.

The one Dyson sent me is temperature controlled, so within five minutes my living room was nice and toasty; I was totally extra and cranked the temperature up to 37 degrees and it was lovely! Don’t worry if you’re not a lizard like me, a hot and cold air purifier can be adapted to suit anyone; it even has an automatic option, perfect for when you just can’t deal.

Day 2

After a long day in the office I was exhausted, I went home, cooked dinner, watched the finale of the Real Housewives of New York and passed out. Before I hit the sack, I switched the purifier to ‘sleep mode’, which gently cleanses the air when your sleep.

Waking up the next morning I felt amazing, I had a solid eight-hour slumber. Apparently my brother threw a massive tantrum right outside my bedroom… didn’t hear a thing! #Winning

Day 3

Another windy day, meaning pollen was everywhere; my allergies were madness! I hooked up the purifier to my smart phone, where I could check the air quality… it was so BAD.

After having the purifier on for an hour, my face was no longer looking red like a tomato; my noise had stopped running, my watery eyes had vanished, my skin was relaxed, the air quality had jumped up to ‘good’, I was legit ready to walk the runway.

After three days of using the purifier I was officially hotter, my eyes were less watery, I was full of energy and less stressed. It’s safe to say, I have found the one.
