What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Bella Organic Vanilla Mint Deodorant

**Press**
   
    Hello Lovelies,
               I am back again and this time I am reviewing Bella Organic's Vanilla Mint Deodorant.  Now I will admit that I was a little concerned with trying an organic chemical free deodorant since I wasn't sure that it was going to hold up to the test. I have been using the regular deodorants for years however I wanted to get away from all the chemicals since the aluminum in it isn't good for you. When I received my package I was a bit taken back by the size of the jar.  I was sure that since I live in the hot and humid South that this jar would instantly be used up in a week. However I followed the directions and started with the detox. I essentially followed the Deodorant Detox on this page.  I applied a pea size amount from the jar and applied it with my fingers. While I would have preferred a stick delivery system I was surprised and pleased how well it worked. The formula smelled wonderful and the consistency wasn't too dry or too wet. It works wonderfully! While I was sweating I wasn't stinking so I was thrilled. The true test will be when the summer arrives.


    If you would like to purchase your own jar of Bella Organic's Vanilla Mint Deodorant you can do so on their website and it is $10.25. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Skinology's Organic Argan Oil


**Press**


     Hello Lovelies,
        I swear if I ever get over this plague it will be a miracle. However I have another skincare review on Skinology's Organic Argan Oil. I am a big fan of argan oil because of how versatile it is .The product arrived quickly and packaged securely. The argan oil itself was in a large amber glass bottle with a glass dropper which helps distribute the oil. The oil itself is clear with a slight tint to it and I couldn't detect a smell.  The bottle and the amount that you get is huge. Since I color my hair, it often gets dry especially in winter. After a shower, I put a couple of drops in my palms rub it around and then work it into my hair focusing on the ends. Only use a couple of drops because if you don't your hair will end up looking greasy. I learned that after the first couple of times of using it in my hair. My daughter has naturally wavy hair and it often gets frizzy so I use it on her hair as well and it has helped tamed her frizz while making her hair look healthy and shiny.  My husband has dry patches on his legs so he uses a couple of drops on those spots and it has been helping tremendously. I even add a couple of drops in my bathwater and my skin is super moisturized. I am really pleased with this product and I won't be without a bottle in my house.






If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Skinology's Organic Argan Oil you can do so on Amazon.  It is $39.99 however it is currently on sale for $16.50.I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Sprout Voice and Cold Remedy

**Press**

     Hello Lovelies,
        I am back again with another review Sprouts Voice Formula and Cold Remedy. Since I have had the plague not once but twice this year. I put both of these products to work. First let's start with Sprout's Cold Remedy. Since I have three kids I really don't have time nor can I afford to be sick. However it is inevitable that I get sick with three little ones in school. I am really impressed with this product. It arrived quickly and was well packaged in an amber glass bottle with a glass eye dropper to help distribute the remedy inside. The remedy is dark reddish brown liquid that has a unique taste. I can't quite put my finger on what the taste is, however it doesn't taste any worse than any liquid medication that I have taken before. I just tilt my head back and swallow the remedy and follow up with a glass of water. While it doesn't "cure the cold" it did cut the time of my misery from being sick in half. My husband who hates medicine was sick took this as well and it cut his recovery time in half.





     Next up is Sprout's Voice Remedy.I am not a professional singer or speaker, however I always without fail loose my voice whenever I get sick. I have three kids and not having a voice is miserable especially when trying to talk and give directions in an often loud house. The product arrived quickly when I ordered it and came well packaged. It remedy arrived in an amber glass bottle with a glass eye dropper so I could distribute it. The remedy has a very unique taste, with a hint of spicy but nothing too overpowering. It doesn't taste any worse than the cough drops or cold medicine I take when I am sick. The remedy is has a slight yellowish hue and has a watery syrup like consistency. When I lost my voice I immediately took it first thing and then followed up with taking it in the evening right before I went to bed. The next morning I was able to talk above a whisper. I took it for the next day and my voice was back! I normally have to whisper for a week when I loose my voice and to have it come back in two days was simply incredible!



If you would to pick up your own Sprout's Cold Remedy or Voice Remedy you can do so on Amazon. Sprout's Cold Remedy is  $28.50 and Sprout's Voice Remedy is $59.99 however it is currently on sale for $27.49. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of MatchaDNA Certified Organic Matcha Tea, 3 oz.

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies!
        I am back again with another review. Today I am reviewing MatchaDNA Certified Organic Matcha Tea, 3 oz. I am a tea junkie and I recently had the opportunity to try out matcha. I have never tried it before so I didn't know what to expect. The matcha arrived in a resealable bag with 34 individual packages. I love the fact that there are individual packets so that I don't have worry about getting out a measuring spoon when I want to make tea or a smoothie. I just open up a packet and poor it in and I am done. It is SO convenient and I love that. The matcha itself is extremely mild without any bitter after taste. We use it constantly in smoothies and I can't taste a thing. It does have caffeine however it doesn't make me jittery or wound up like a cup of coffee does. My husband is constantly taking individual packets to work so he can get his matcha fix during the day. I am officially an addict and I will be ordering more when we run out.





If you would like to try MatchaDNA Certified Organic Matcha Tea, 3 oz. you can pick up your own bag on Amazon. It is $19.21 for 3 oz. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful , so until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Majestic Pure's Lemon Essential Oil

** Press**

   Hello Lovelies,
     I am back with the final review of the day. The last review of the day goes to Majestic Pure's Lemon Essential Oil. I am relatively new to using essential oils however in an attempt to be more green around my house we have started making our own green cleaners and lemon oil is a perfect addition to our cleaners. It arrived quickly without any issues. It comes in a HUGE amber colored 4oz bottle with a long glass dropper do that you can easily determine how much oil you want to use.  You can add it to a bucket of bleach water in order to cut out the bleach smell and to make things smell fresh and clean. I also add a couple of drops to a jar of vinegar with our homemade dryer sheets to give our clothes a fresh and clean smell. I am also trying the oil cleanse method where I add a couple of drops of it to coconut oil as well as some other oils to help clean my face and I have noticed a decrease in my adult acne. I followed a reviewer's suggestion and added a couple of drops to the bathroom mat in my kids' bathroom to keep it smelling fresh and it worked wonders! This really is an amazing multipurpose oil! I keep finding more uses for it every day!



If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Majestic Pure Lemon Essential Oil you can do so on Amazon. It is $39.95 however it is currently on sale for $14.50. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

   Hello Lovelies,
                 I am back again with another review. Today I am reviewing Skinology's Lemon Essential  Oil. I have been using essential oils for awhile to help keep my house smelling fresh. However, recently I have started creating my own household cleaners as well as my own laundry detergent/softener in order to know what I am exposing my family to. I add a couple of drops of the lemon oil to a jar of vinegar and place a homemade dryer towel in it, ring it out and place in the dryer with my wet clothes and not only are my clothes softer they smell nice as well. I also added a couple of drops to some bleach water when I was cleaning to give it a nice lemon scented smell. I also added a couple of drops to a sugar scrub recipe I was making as gifts. I even placed a couple of drops on the bath mat in my kids bathroom to keep it smelling fresh and it made a difference. I really love how versatile this product is.





If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Skinology's Lemon Essential Oil you can do so on Amazon. It is listed at $39.99 however it is currently on sale for $ 14.45. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovlies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Valentina Organic Rosehip Oil

*Press*

   Hello Lovelies!
       I am back with another review and today I am reviewing Valentina Organic Rosehip Oil.  I have just recently started trying out various oils as part of my beauty routine, since before I used to think that oils would make my face oilier. How wrong I was! This oil is wonderful and has SO many uses and a little goes a long way. I apply a couple of drops to my face both in the morning and at night and I have started to notice a difference. My combination skin looks healthier and has more of a lovely glow. The oil isn't heavy and doesn't have an overpowering smell. It absorbs quickly so when I apply it in the morning, I don't have to worry about it ruining my makeup. I have also used it as well on my feet since winter is never very kind to my feet. I apply a few drops and working them into my feet and then place socks on my feet and go. My feet are much smoother and softer! My hands also suffer a lot during the winter months so my cuticles look like a disaster. I have been moisturizing them with this and it is working wonders and even my husband has been using it on a few dry patches on his skin. I am really pleased with this product and I look forward to seeing the results after I have finished the bottle.




   If you would like to pick up Valentina  Organic Rosehip oil for yourself you can do so on Amazon. It is listed at for $24.44 but is currently on sale for $13.99. I hope that you enjoyed this What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!
