I bought a humidifier a few years ago but never used it. Mainly because I was worried about the water settling on a nearby powerboats and causing problems, but I’ve found a nice place for it to live in my room not so close to electronics that I’m too worried. I didn’t know what to put into it so I just used a couple drops of lemon juice until I get some essential oils. Omg this is so nice. Nobody told me it was more like a vapour than steam. I just assumed it was a heating element that steamed a tank of water out a little hole in the top.

I still am a little concerned about potential humidity issues and mould, but I might just run it for a couple of hours before bed to make a nice smelly atmosphere with some lavender or something

I’m more intrigued as to why you have multiple high-speed watercraft in your house…

(Sorry couldn’t resist - downvote as appropriate…) :|

  Oh. I don’t know why but my keyboard just sort of decided one day that powerboard isn’t a word and I mean powerboats. Which is ironic because if I try to type power board it tells me that powerboard is just one word and not 2. But then tells me powerboard isn’t a word…

Mind Body Spirit festival is on over the weekend at the MCC. I don’t go for any of the woowoo stuff, but the Pro-Oils booth has some good value essential oils (cheaper than their online prices). If you’re at a loose end it’s free to attend.

  Oh alright, thanks for the recco! I’ll be away all weekend up in Mildura, so won’t be able to go. Also I don’t know what an MCC is

    I think that’s Jeffs Shed - opposite the Casino.

Um yeah, a diffuser is a very different thing, though there are tiny little humidifiers for use on office desks. No clue if they do any good. The bigger medical humidifiers are the only way I can breathe enough to sleep at all sometimes. I would not be using one in the same room as your electronics!

  I still don’t really understand how they’re different. Google just thinks a humidifier is bigger and a diffuser is smaller

    Some diffusers use solid scent block things and no water. Aside from that I guess it’s mostly a matter of scale.
