What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Smart Weigh Bathroom Scale

**Press**

  Hello Lovelies,
         I am back again and today I am doing a review of the Smart Weigh Bathroom Scale. I have been wanting a better way to keep track of my weight loss and I figured what better way than to get a new scale and see my results on the screen in front of me. The Smart Weigh Scale arrived quickly and was well packaged in its box. There wasn't an issue with having to try to set the scale up and there was no calibration needed. There are five people in my household and this scale remembers up to eight different people which is pretty impressive. The LED changes color for each person which makes it a nice touch and the scale can accommodate up to 400 pounds.  However the new user must double tap the scale in order to enter themselves manually. There are four large plates on the scale for the user to place his or her feet on it to weigh. This is a great improvement over my other scale which has four small bars on the sides which made it difficult to place my feet on it accurately. This is not true of the Smart Weigh Scale. The plates are large and there is no need to try to balance or having to place your foot just right in order to get a reading. The LED screen is what I would consider average size I didn't have an issue of needing to use my glasses to read it. It takes 4 AAA batteries which come with it. I will make a note that this scale does not work on carpet since it needs a firm surface similar to my other electronic scale. Overall I am super pleased with this scale with the larger foot plates and the ability to remember eight people.







    If you would like to pick up your own Smart Weigh Bathroom Scale you can do so on Amazon. It is $59.99 however it is currently on sale for $39.99. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of LON Bluetooth Portable Speaker

**Press**
Hello Lovelies,

      Just a quick review today since I am dealing with some family issues. Today I am reviewing Lon's Bluetooth Portable Speaker. This is the first bluetooth portable speaker I have ever used and needless to say that I am impressed. Not only was is small, it easily fits into the palm of my hand, it was also extremely easy to use. There wasn't a lot of buttons to worry about, simply an on or off button. It was so easy to pair with my tablet, phone or even laptop without any hassle. It is easy enough for grandparents to use. The size of the speaker and the box that it came it makes it so easy to take with you when traveling since the speaker itself fits snuggly inside a well protected foam unit. And I was extremely impressed with the sound quality as well. I guessed that something this small would distort the the sound just slightly but that wasn't the case. This is a fantastic little speaker to use around the house or when traveling.





     If you would like to pick up your own Lon's Bluetooth Portable Speaker you can do so on Amazon. It is $42 however it is on sale for $24.99. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of the Celfie Bluetooth Stick

**Press**

   Hello Lovelies,
          I am back today with another review. Today I am reviewing the Celfie Bluetooth Stick.  Even though I have had a smartphone for a while, I never really thought about getting a celfie stick even though I do a lot of posting to Instagram. I thought that they would be large and rather hard to handle for coordination impaired people (clumsy) like myself. But surprisingly enough it wasn't that hard. It arrived quickly and was well packaged. It was rather easy to put together and connect my phone to it. Which is a feat within itself since I have a hard time with blue tooth connectivity. The stick was surprisingly light and easy to use for clumsy individuals like myself. I liked the fact that it did have an ON/OFF switch that I could turn it off and conserve my charge. It didn't take too long to charge to use the first time either, it took about an hour to do so. It also securely held my phone in place and I didn't have to worry about it falling out and my phone breaking. I am really pleased with how well it is made and how easy it is to use!













    If you would like to pick up your own Celfie Stick you can do so on Amazon. It is $29.99 however it is currently on sale for $14.45. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Inside Smarts Premium Laundry Bags

**Press**

   Hello Again Lovelies,
         I am back again tonight with another review. Tonight I am reviewing Inside Smarts Premium Laundry Bags. I have three kids and between the five of us I am CONSTANTLY doing laundry in order to keep up. I have owned other delicate bags however none were never as nice as these. They arrived quickly and were well packaged. All four were packaged and folded neatly in a plastic bag, There are three white laundry bags and one black. I was super pleased that they had included a dark laundry bag in their laundry bags since at times dark colors can bleed and stain those lovely white bags pink. They are extremely soft however very well made you can see the sheerness in the photos below. I have placed these bags with the dreaded jeans load to test to see how they would come out and they made it through without a hitch. The Zipper are secured in place by an elastic zipper guard so there is no worries that the zipper will accidentally snag your other clothes when the bag is tossed in with them. These are fantastic! The only thing I would request is a larger size bag and another black bag.



  






   If you would like to pick up your own set of Inside Smarts Premium Laundry Bags you can pick them up on Amazon. They are $21.95 however they are currently on sale for $16.95. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!







What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Refresh Eye Recovery Serum

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies,
       I am back again with another skincare review after surviving my youngest's birthday this weekend. After a house full of screaming happy children who have eaten birthday cake with a sinful amount of frosting, I needed some time away with a drink in hand to recover.  But since I am fully recovered today I am reviewing Refresh's Eye Recovery Serum.
       I am always looking for the best eye serum since I do a lot of makeup promotions and I am always trying to make sure my eyes look the best so I was eager to try this product. It arrived quickly and was well packaged. The serum itself has a rather unique delivery system, it comes in a plastic syringe like container. The container itself can be a little tricky to work with at first, since you do run the risk of pushing out too much product. However after a couple of tries, I found it because like second nature. I like the syringe system since I can see how much I am going to apply and when I will need to order more. The serum has a water gel like consistency and it cools upon contact. I am also thrilled that this serum is Vegan so that everyone can use it and enjoy the benefits of it. This serum gave me super fast results! Normally I don't see results within the first two weeks at all and I did with this product. When you apply the serum not only does it cool but it has a tightening sensation which makes me think that it is working hard against those super fine lines that start to develop underneath the eye. After a couple of days I swear I could see a slight difference to them which was amazing. It is also fantastic for puffy eyes from lack of sleep and dark circles so I can't say enough good things about this product.



   If you would like to get your own syringe of Refresh's Eye Recovery Serum you can do so on Amazon. It is $49.95 however it is currently on sale for $29.50. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!

What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Instanaturals Lemon, Peppermint and Lavender Essential Oils

**Press**

    Hello Lovelies,
        I am back again tonight with another review. I am reviewing InstaNatural's Essential Oils in both Lavender and Peppermint. While this review was also for the Lemon Essential Oil which I never received from Amazon. However I will continue to do the review for the two oils that I did receive. The oils were packaged securely and wrapped in bubble wrap and were delivered quickly.The oils arrived in HUGE amber glass bottles with eye droppers to help dispense the oil.They were also had additional plastic seal around the top of the eye droppers to prevent the bottles accidentally opening up during shipment. Needless to say when I opened the box I got a good whiff of the essential oils. While neither had leaked, I can only assume that the scents were coming from where the droppers met the cap allowed for the scent to escape. I haven't noticed that there is an issue of evaporation however I do store them in my laundry room so the smell doesn't become overly powerful for Mr Dreadful's super sniffer.  This is the first time I have ever used peppermint oil and I am extremely pleased with it. Not only is it my favorite scent out of the two, it does wonders for migraines/headaches, but it is also good for decongestion, keeping away spiders (which is a bonus)and I have also added it to my homemade fabric softener sheets to give my clothes a nice minty scent. The lavender oil also is good for headaches and tension which does happen more than I would like with having three kids. I  love adding a couple of drops to my bath to help me relax at night and even a drop on the pillows for a restful sleep. I am super pleased with this oils, I really wished that I had gotten the lemon as well. So I would order from InstaNatural again.




    If you would like to pick up your own bottles of Peppermint or Lavender Essential oils from InstaNatural you can do so on Amazon.  Both the Lavender Oil and the Peppermint Oil are $39.95 however they are both on sale for $19.97. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!


What's the Deal Dreadful? Review of Oz Naturals Facial Cleanser

**Press**

   Hello Lovelies,
         I am doing another skincare review and today I am reviewing Oz Naturals Facial Cleanser.  I wear makeup on most days, sometimes light and natural and other times heavier and more dramatic so I am always looking for a good facial cleanser to help keep my skin healthy. This is not a makeup remover, and you will have to remove your makeup with wipes, or creams, or oils before using this in order to remove your makeup. The product arrived quickly and was well packaged. The facial cleanser comes in an attractive dispenser tube with a flip top lid. The cleanser is colorless and has the consistency of watery gel so be careful when you use it the first time or else you will get more than you expect. There is a light clean scent to it however I can't quite put my finger on what the exact scent it. Essentially I remove my makeup with a a makeup remover/wipe, wet my face and then apply a pea size drop in my hand and wash my face. Sometimes I use o konjac sponge other times I use it by itself. After washing my face, then apply a toner , then a serum and then a moisturizer. The cleanser is super gentle on my skin and does a fantastic job of removing any left over grime on my face that my makeup remover leaves behind. I have noticed that my blackheads are diminishing, my skin looks and feels clean, and even softer. I am super pleased.





    If you would like to pick up your own bottle of Oz Naturals Facial Cleanser you can do so on Amazon.  It is 23.49 and will last you quite a while since you are only using the smallest amount each time. I hope that you enjoyed this installment of What's the Deal Dreadful, until next time lovelies!
