- And how ironic, I'm like trying to work out
without working out next to my treadmill
but I'm working out in this bed by lying here.
It's not my fault this is more efficient.

Hey everyone, I'm Jasmine.
- Hi everyone, I'm Mireille.
- And this week we'll be trying out this $500 sauna blanket,
which is insane!
- I want to know what the hype is about.
Shout out and a special thank you for HigherDOSE
for sending us these complimentary blankets.
- It's supposed to boost your circulation,
improve your mood.
- [Mireille] Detoxification, anti-anxiety.
- It's supposed to help you sweat
like you're working out, without working out.
- [Mireille] Anti-aging, improve sleep.
- I'm a little skeptical. In my head,
it's one of those products I'm like,
"Okay, if it really works,
it should be in everyone's houses."
- I'm pretty ready.
I'm not really the type of person who works out much.
This seems like it's right up my alley
and it's going to boost my health.
Let's see if it measures up.
Okay. Here's the deal with the blankets.
It's pretty thick, actually.
This is no joke. I mean, it's $500, but like,
you are buying what is like,
some heavy-duty machinery.
- [Jasmine] So I assume that this is
where you put your feet, and then you cover up
the blankets on either side, and that's where
your head kind of rests.
- This thing has been preheating, it is hot.
I got changed. I've got long sleeves on, got my pants,
got some socks, put down a towel, I'm ready to sweat.
I'm just going to kind of wrap myself
in here like the little burrito I was meant to be.
All right.
(blanket crinkling)
- Session one, so far,
it's feeling really hot
and I hate the heat, but not going to lie,
I think I feel kind of comforted.
Actually, babe, would you mind turning on the TV for me?
- [Jasmine's Boyfriend] You want to watch Korean Dramas?
- Yeah, can you just resume my, my latest K-Drama please?
Thank you, this will be me for the next hour.
- I've been inside for almost 30 minutes now,
and like, I'm sweating bullets.
Honestly, having the blankets laid down
and the long sleeves and the socks, especially, wow.
It would've probably been a little damaging
if I didn't have my skin covered.
I'm a caterpillar and after I come out of this thing
I'm gonna be a butterfly.
- I'm sweating so much. It's over now, finally.
The last 10 minutes were feeling super long,
because I was just ready to get out of here.
I think I'm going to need to get out
really slowly and then take a big sip
of water because I'm sure my body is dehydrated.
- Okay, after yesterday I had a really good night's rest.
I was actually having some really bad neck pain yesterday.
This probably might've helped cause it does
sooth your muscles.
Excited to see how I feel today,
I had a lot of salty foods for lunch.
The detoxification might be really nice.
- I feel like today's a little better
cause I know what I'm expecting.
I wore two layers of socks today,
'cause I feel like my feet got overheated yesterday.
I wanted to watch TV again, but I had a long day,
so I think I'm just going to try and take a nap.
- Today I'm rocking a level five.
You know, I figured I was able to go hard
on level four yesterday, so hopefully
level five will be doable for me.
I've had a pretty stressful day, not gonna lie.
So I'm kind of looking forward to just kind of laying down,
relaxing a bit.
- I've decided to move downstairs to do
the sauna blanket today.
I started my new Korean Drama,
and how ironic I'm like trying to work out
without working out next to my treadmill.
But I'm working out in this bed by lying here.
It's not my fault this is more efficient.
- I didn't really doze off or anything,
it's pretty tough to sleep in this.
It was actually really nice to just kind of be
in my own head with my own thoughts.
- It's day four.
This deep into the week, I can't say
that I am seeing like scientific physical changes,
but I do feel like I have less anxiety.
I feel like during the day, things that would usually
annoy me don't bother me as much anymore.
I'm just like, "Whatever, man, I don't care."
I think I could start doing this every day.
- Today I'm going to try out doing this on the floor.
Either I'm so tired or this was just really comfortable,
but today was actually super relaxing.
I almost fell asleep.
I'm ready to shower
and go to bed,
and have a good night's sleep.
I think I'm enjoying this.
Look at this. I've got a pimple here.
Maybe it's the blanket, you know, the detoxification
all the toxins coming out of my body in the form of
obviously, you know, like, pimples.
Do I love it?
No, but I'm also working from home
and not really seeing people right now.
So I can probably afford a couple pimples.
- I actually broke out yesterday,
so is that because the blanket or the stress
or I don't know.
On one hand, I'm thinking is it detoxification
and it's coming out through blemishes
or it's just not working.
I do feel pretty good in here though, so I can't lie.
- It's day seven! We made it!
At this point, honestly, I don't know if I prefer
being on the ground or in my bed, but because it's set up
on the ground and it's pretty tiring to move it,
I'm keeping it on the ground, and today I decided
I'm actually going to do this during lunch.
- Ugh, I'm just not having a good day today,
so I'm like, I just don't want to be in here.
I thought it would help me release some steam
but I just like, I'm antsy.
- [Jasmine's Boyfriend] So, Jasmine asked me to get
a vlog of her using the sauna blanket, but.
(lullaby music)
- After seven days of using this product,
I definitely felt more relaxed.
Whether that be because of the blanket itself
or the time I spent in it.
Do I think the hype on the product is where it should be?
No, I definitely see the technology
of it being expensive.
- At the end of the week,
kind of looking at the whole situation,
it's a $500 sauna blanket.
Was it nice to have this week?
Absolutely, took a lot of stress off of me.
It gave me that calorie burn
without me having to move at all
but also I could live without it.
I think using it for a week was a great intro
into using the sauna blanket
because it does take some time to adjust
to the heat and how to use it,
but I'm going to continue using it for the rest
of the month and we'll see if it does anything special!
