What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Gurin GO- 410 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies!
       I am back with another healthy living review. Today I am reviewing Gurin's GO-410 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter. My husband and  I have recently started working out again in order to be healthier this year. In addition to eating cleaner, our new work out regiment requires us to check our heart rate at different time to make sure we are in a fat burning zone. So we wanted to get something that we could both use that would give us results quickly. The product arrived quickly and was extremely well packaged. It arrived in it's own little box, the pulse oximeter was inside it's own little travel pouch and came with two batteries and a lariat to attach to the pulse oximeter to make it easy to take with you while you are at the gym or working out since pockets aren't always a part of work out clothes. The pulse oximeter is extremely sturdy and comfortable. It clamps gently around your finger and has soft cushions on either side for a comfortable fit. The results are quickly generated on the LCD screen in front with clear numbers. I also like the aspect that it turns itself off after 15 seconds so you won't be running down the batteries if you take your pulse and then toss it in your gym bag. It is perfect for on the go!





    If you would like to pick up your own Gurin GO-310 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter you can do so on Amazon. It is $299.95 however it is on sale for $38.95. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Bri Nutrition Spirulina Extra Strength

*Press*

Hello Lovelies,
    I am back again this time I am reviewing  Bri Nutrition Spirulina Extra Strength Dietary Supplements. I have been trying various supplements this year in attempt to take batter care of myself and be healthier. So when I was offered to review Spirulina was a little excited. So when the bottle arrived at my house, I skipped the the mail box with glee.  My poor mail man must think I have some horrible shopping addiction since I constantly have packages arriving to review. However I will admit that I was SUPRISED and kinda taken back with the Spirulina pills because they are green. EMERALD GREEN powder in a capsule waiting for me to try out. Mr Dreadful pointed out what did I expect that Spirulina is made from blue green algae. -_-
      I took two in the morning with a large glass of water and two in the evening right before I went to bed. The capsules are vegetable capsules which is a great thing for vegetarians and there is no strange after taste like some of the other supplements I have tried. The capsules are the same size as an Advil LiquidGel so there is no monster pill to try to choke down when taking this supplement. After about a week, I noticed that I wasn't as tired and had more energy throughout the day. I also noticed something else, I wasn't loosing as much hair as I normally do. Normally, it appears that I loose a LOT of hair while it is really noticeable since it is long and black, there is a LOT of it. I shed like a sick pony. However after taking this I noticed that I was shedding a lot less. And I even noticed that my cramps were not as intense as they usually were while taking this which is a BIG plus.




If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Spirulina you can do so on the Bri Nutrition page. They are currently sold out however I will update this post when they are back in stock with the price.  You get a total of 120 capsules which is a month's supply. I hope that you have enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Summit Nutritions Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract 85% HCA-2 Complex

*Press*
      Hello Lovelies,
         I am back again with another review today. I know two in one day again? You may get spoiled with me posting so much and I will be posting some makeup and nail posts soon! I promise. But anyways on with the review! Today I am reviewing Summit Nutritions Pure Garcina Cambogia Extract 85%. This isn't a DIET pill more it is more of supplement. It isn't going to make you magically loose the weight however it will help curve the cravings and help boost your metabolism. So when you do work out you can technically work out more efficiently. I have tried other Garcina supplements however the one I tried before the capsule had a bad taste. This one does not. The tablets aren't massive as you can see since they are only slightly larger than an Advil Liquid Gel Cap.  I took these 30 minutes to an hour before each meal (basically right before I started cooking) and by time it was time to eat I didn't eat as much. It also made me feel fuller longer so I am looking forward to seeing the results when I am done with the bottle. Since you take one tablet twice a day this bottle should a month.






If you want to pick up the Summit Nutritions Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract you can pick it up on Amazon. The LIST price is $199.99 but it is on SALE right now for $27.99. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful. Until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Pure Body Naturals Organic Argan Oil

*Press*
   Hello Lovelies!
    I am back with another review.  Now I know that some of you may be wondering why I haven't been posting makeup pictures and or nail pictures. Quite simply, I have the plague.

Yup, I should have known better

That's right my little dreadful plague carriers have bestowed upon the gift of the plague this holiday season and I don't have the energy to do makeup or nails right now since I feel like I am dying. But I do have these reviews that are ready to go. But I do promise that I will be doing more makeup and nail looks, tutorials and reviews.

Gee, thanks..I could have done without one.

     But enough about my plague status and on with the review! This time I am reviewing Pure Body Naturals Organic Argan Oil.I am becoming a real big fan of Argan oil lately since it has so many uses. I use it for not only for taming my hair (and my daughter's super wavy wild child hair) , but for a moisturizer, for my cuticles and even in my bath. I was super impressed with the amount of product that I got in this bottle as well. Since the bottle is HUGE. I know that some people have mentioned that their Argan oil has a smell, this one does not and I put it to the "Nose" (aka Mr Dreadful) test. He has a super sensitive sniffer and it got the seal of approval from him. As I mentioned earlier I use a couple of drops for my hair I have noticed that it seems shinier and healthier. (And yes, this is before the cold meds too.) I also noticed that it helps keeps my daughter's hair in check and she has super fine wavy hair that is prone to frizz. It seems to be preventing the frizz. Mr Dreadful steals the bottle to use a couple of drops in the bath making him feel moisturized and I have started using it at night not only on cuticles and face but also on my feet to help moisturize my heels. I am now officially addicted to Argan oil and I definitely won't be without a bottle in my house.



If you want to pick up your own bottle of Pure Body Naturals Organic Argan Oil you can do so on Amazon. It is normally 45.95 but is currently on sale for $15 which is a steal especially for the amount that you get. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful. Until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Healthy Now Nutrition Colon Cleanse Detox Plus Extra Strength

*Press*

Hello Lovelies!
   I am back today with another review. This time I am doing a review on Healthy Now Nutrition Colon Cleanse Detox Plus Extra Strength. I had heard lots of good things about colon cleanses and how healthy they are for you so I decided to take the plunge and try it out. Now I had read ALL kinds of information about colon cleanses after I was approved to do the review ranging from this was excellent to OMG my insides are melting and I lived on the toilet. 
      So, I was unsure of exactly how this was going to go. After I ordered the bottle, I received a "tips and tricks" email from the company with information to help me get the most out of my cleanse.  It was extremely helpful. Some of the tricks include drink LOTS of water (which is a must cause you are going to be going to the bathroom more than usual)  and eat more fiber  and less red meat, dairy and wheat.  The water will prevent you from getting dehydrated and the fiber makes your bowel movements "thicker" which helps push the junk out of your intestines. I also started it on a weekend when I could be close to the toilet just to be safe to allow my body to adjust to the cleanse. The company also suggests that you start off which one capsule per dose (which I did) and then move up to when you are comfortable. I didn't feel uncomfortable nor did I have any cramping while taking this.  So I would say that my first cleanse was a success! 


You get a huge bottle to try out.


These are vegetable capsules so they are vegetarian friendly


Capsule comparison compared next to Advil Liquidgels.
 
You can purchase Healthy Now Nutrition Colon Cleanse Detox Plus Extra Strength from Amazon.
     I received this product in return for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.


I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful and until next time lovelies!

What the Deal Dreadful? Review of Premium Argan 100% Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil

*Press*

Hello Lovelies!

   I am back today with a review! I was asked to review Premium Argan 100% Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil  and I was really excited for the opportunity. I have been wanting to branch out and review other beauty, fashion and health items for 2015 I figured I would go ahead and start early! 
    I had heard how beneficial Argan Oil was for hair and I really wanted to give it a try since I have really baby fine straight hair and I have always wanted super shiny hair like in the hair commericals. My hair also gets a lot of damage from the fact that I am constantly coloring it and even using various tools of hair torture on it (flat irons, curling irons, etc..)

  I received a full size bottle 2oz (60ml) very quickly and it was well packaged and arrived without a problem which is always a possibility during this hellish mail time of the year. There was a mention of a light nutty smell to the oil on Amazon, but I didn't notice a distinct smell. To be honest it didn't have a smell that I could tell, which was a bonus for Mr Dreadful since he has a sensitive sniffer.




                                           
  The first thing that I tried the Argan oil on was my hair. As I mentioned before it is baby fine, straight as a board and super processed. After I got out of the shower I put some oil in my hands and then I rubbed them together to warm the oil up (as per the directions) and the worked the oil in my hair starting from the tips and then up to my scalp. Now I learned the first day that a little goes a LONG way. I applied too much the first time (I used an entire dropper full) and it was too much for my hair to absorb and it looked greasy. However, the next time I applied much less, and my hair absorbed it all without looking greasy.  After a couple of days I noticed that my hair was much softer, shinier and more manageable. 
See this amount? This is way too much to put in your hair. You need only just a small amount!

   The bottle also mentioned that it was good on dry skin patches and it often applied on feet and on the cuticles. I won't lie my feet are horribly dry and can be quite rough in the winter. After the shower I applied the Argan Oil to Feet and then placed socks over my feet for the rest of the day. It has really made all the difference. I don't feel like I am a strange human dinosaur hybrid anymore with my super rough and dry feet. They are much softer! My cuticles are also a wreck but I have noticed a considerable difference with me applying the Argan oil a couple of times a day to my cuticles and working it in. 
Mr Dreadful is a bath junkie like I am and he has stolen it a couple of times in to add a few drops into his bath and it does give an extra moisturizing boost.

 Now to what you have been waiting for.. on to the ratings!

Packaging: 9.5 out of 10 bats
   The Uni Premium Argan 100% Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil comes in a nice thick glass bottle with a long glass dropper for a top. It makes it easy to control the amount that you want to apply. 

Efficiency: 9.5 out of 10 bats
   I noticed a huge difference in my skin and my hair after using it a couple of days.

Scent: 9.7 out of 10 bats
   There is NO scent that I can detect with my nose which is a bonus for those of you with a sensitive sniffer in your household.

Affordability: 9.7 out of 10 bats
   The price is 15.99 with Free Shipping for a 2oz (60ml) bottle. A little goes a long way and I still have plenty with a family of five using it.

Availability: 9.8 out of 10 bats
  It is available through Amazon.com.

Overall thoughts and impressions, I really like the product. I enjoyed the fact that there is a generous amount of oil to apply not only to my hair but also use it in the bath and with dry skin treatments. The Dreadful family enjoyed the fact that there was really no scent that we would pick up so there was no complaints that the smell was too strong or overpowering. It is extremely affordable for all the various uses we get out of it. Would we purchase this after we ran out of it? Yes, without a doubt. While I did receive this product for consideration to review, all thoughts are my own and I only recommend products that I would personally use and let my family use. Until next time lovelis!


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
