The Sky uses aromatherapy and star projections to lull kids to sleep

ZAQ Sky Kids Essential Oil Diffuser - Worlds First Starry Sky Projection
There’s no peace and quiet in your home until there is peace and quiet in your children’s bedrooms, but now, there may be a way to reach a state of calm for your children more quickly than before. Meet the Sky, a new essential oil diffuser and starry night projector designed specifically with kids in mind. It comes from aromatherapy company Zaq, and promises to soothe your little ones into restful and healthy slumber.

While intended for children, there’s little doubt that adults will also benefit from the Sky. Not only will it help disseminate essential oils throughout your room, but the built-in air purifier and ionizer claims to remove dust, allergens, germs, stale air, and odors. So even if you don’t have kids, this diffuser might do well in a bathroom, your kitchen, or anywhere else where air quality can sometimes be questionable. The Sky also features a humidifier, which promises to fight the drying effects of both heating and air conditioning, so you can benefit all year long.

But the real differentiating factor for the Sky comes in its starry night projection, featuring three unique color scheme options. The projector will throw a plethora of stars on your ceiling, and will gently dim its lights in five stages before fading into darkness. And if you (or your child) are in need of a nightlight, you can also set the Sky to its warm light mode.

“In 2011, aromatherapy was still exotic and basically unknown in our part of the world. It was within this landscape that I launched Zaq,” said Mubashir Shethwala, the cofounder of Zaq. “Over the past six years, I’ve received a ton of requests from parents, asking for a device that could bring the benefits of aromatherapy to their kids. As a father myself, I was excited by the opportunity to make bedtime a healthy, calming experience for both my kids and others around the world. I’m excited to say that Sky achieves just that.”

The Sky is currently available in five colors (orange, pink, blue, black, and white), and can be purchased from the Zaq website for just under $50.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
