Has anyone else noticed that it’s a little… warm right now? Like, really warm? And for many, this deep humidity can have a major impact on sleep – after all, having a bedroom that’s part-snooze station and part-sauna can be pretty uncomfortable. The obvious solution for sleeping in the heat? A fan! Right? Erm, unfortunately (and we hate to be the ones to break this to you) some experts are actually warning against sleeping with a fan on.
According to Sleep Advisor, sleeping with a fan on might not always be a great idea for health-related reasons, as although having a fan on will circulate air to make your room cooler and fresher, it can also circulate pollen and dust. Which isn’t ideal if you suffer from allergies, asthma or hay fever (which has also ramped up for many at this time of year).
“Take a close look at your fan,” the Sleep Advisor suggests. “If it’s been collecting dust on the blades, those particles are flying through the air every time you turn it on.”
Other reasons not to sleep with a fan on include the fact that it can dry out your skin, as well as your nasal passages, and if your nasal passages become too dry, Sleep Advisor warns that the body can produce excess mucous, making you feel all bunged up come morning time. Not ideal…
And then there’s muscle cramping. “People who sleep with a breeze directly on them may wake up with stiff or sore muscles. This is because the concentrated cool air can make muscles tense up and cramp,” the experts explain. “This problem is especially common for people who sleep with it near their face and neck. If you’ve been waking up with a stiff neck in the morning, it might be because of the constant breeze.”
On the flip-side, the article does point out that fans in the bedroom can work well for people as provide comforting white noise to help people drift off to sleep when it’s stuffy.
But if you’re prone to allergies, it could be worth trying other options like a cool flannel in a bowl of water near your bed, or sleeping on top of the covers with the window open. Happy sweating either way, folks!
Camille, Grace Kelly’s granddaughter, is all grown up and a stunning reflection of the iconic Princess!
The name of the iconic actress and princess Grace Kelly continues to symbolize timeless beauty, even decades after her passing. Despite her Hollywood career spanning only about six years, Kelly left an indelible mark during the Golden Age of cinema.
Born on November 12, 1929, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kelly grew up in a family of achievers. Her father, John B. Kelly, was an Olympic gold medalist in rowing, and her uncle, George Kelly, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright. George was her biggest supporter, encouraging her dream of becoming an actress and guiding her rise to stardom in Hollywood.
Kelly made her film debut in Fourteen Hours but achieved her breakthrough playing Gary Cooper’s Quaker wife in High Noon (1952). She went on to star in celebrated films alongside industry legends. Her performance in Mogambo with Clark Gable and Ava Gardner earned her a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. She later won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Country Girl. Other notable films included the musical comedy High Society and three Alfred Hitchcock classics: Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, and To Catch a Thief opposite Cary Grant.
By the age of 26, Kelly was one of the highest-paid and most respected actresses in the world. However, her life took a dramatic turn when she met Prince Rainier III of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival. The two married, and Kelly left her Hollywood career behind to become the Princess of Monaco.
Grace Kelly epitomized elegance and grace, both on-screen and in her royal life. She and Prince Rainier had three children: Princess Caroline, Prince Albert II, and Princess Stéphanie.
Tragically, her life was cut short at the age of 52 when she suffered a stroke while driving and lost control of her car. Although Kelly died in the accident, her daughter Stéphanie, who was also in the car, survived.
Kelly’s legacy lives on through her 11 grandchildren, many of whom have inherited her beauty and poise. Among them, Camille Gottlieb, the 20-year-old daughter of Princess Stéphanie, bears an uncanny resemblance to her famous grandmother. Camille’s blonde hair, blue eyes, and striking features have drawn comparisons to Kelly, and her resemblance has brought her considerable attention.
Camille shares glimpses of her life and family on Instagram, where she has over 70,000 followers. Despite not being eligible for the Monegasque throne—her parents were not married—Camille carries herself with the grace and charm of a true princess.
If Grace Kelly were alive today, she would undoubtedly be proud of the legacy she left behind, both in her family and in the hearts of millions who continue to admire her.
