Quick Cooling Hack: The "Ice-Breeze" Boost

  • • For an extra-chilly breeze during a mid-summer heatwave, place a large bowl of ice or a frozen water bottle directly in front of your Ottimo desk fan. The fan will pick up the cold air coming off the ice, creating a DIY "air conditioner" effect that significantly lowers the temperature in your immediate ar.
