Clearview's Headlamp Shines Light on Awesome Opportunity!


Property of Ashleigh Mayes-Davidson 2015
If you're even remotely familiar with my personality, you're not surprised to hear that I'm a little extreme. I always "go big or go home" in everything: my art, my written papers, my love of animals...everything! When I picked up film photography about six months ago, I decided that urban exploring was something that I wanted to get into since the grain and contrast of black and white film lent itself so well to the subject matter. After a few times of exploring with no preparation, I decided that I needed to gather a few items to make the exploration easier (and safer). When I was offered the opportunity to review Clearview's Headlamp, I was super excited! I've always wanted to use this type of light, and now, I could have a practical use for it! Sure it's cool on its own...but when you can use it actively, it take on a whole new light...(get it??)!

The very first thing that I noticed about the headlamp was that the light is small. However, after turning it on, I realized that the size is deceiving. This light can shine BRIGHT! The LED aspect of this lamp is AWESOME because it's a huge amount of light in a small, compact, lightweight source.

The next observation that I made was that the band is elastic AND adjustable with a buckle so literally ANYONE can fit it! The material is lightweight, soft, and breathable while holding the light firmly in place. I didn't experience any slipping or falling or pain in using the headlamp.

The bonus light that goes on the back is fantastic, too! I don't use mine on the back personally. I use it as a hand light and I think it works marvelously! It's just as bright as the headlamp and is very easy to hold.

Overall, the entire lamp is very easy to assemble and wear. It's very handy for when you're exploring dark buildings and other places because of it's awesome range and shine power! I'd highly suggest it if you're looking for a quality item at a great price!

Making Weighing In Fun: Smart Weigh Memory Scale Review!

Let's face it: nobody likes to weigh in. Usually, when you're using one, you're looking for a change. Whether it's gaining weight or losing weight, you're typically not happy with how you are. This gives the scale a negative image. When I received my free product to test, I didn't know how I felt about it. However, when I pulled it out of the box and saw that it was absolutely GORGEOUS, I couldn't wait to have it on display in our bathroom. As silly as that sounds, this scale is truly sophisticated and artistic looking. I couldn't wait to give it a try, despite not quite being happy with my appearance.

When I stepped onto the glass surface (THAT made me nervous but after a few one-footed steps, I gained the courage to trust it), I realized that it would easily hold my weight. The glass surface is smooth and thick, so it's not going to break. The details of the surface are done in mirror glass. It looks fantastic because it will reflect whatever decor is around it.

The digital readout of the scale lit up and displayed my weight very quickly. It's a blue LED color that glows very brightly. It wasn't until I had my husband step on the scale that I realized that the scale stored memories of weights and their changes. A number "02" appeared next to his weight. When he stepped off, I stepped back on and immediately, "01" appeared along with my current weight. The next day, when I weighed in, I had gone down in weight. My weight appeared on the screen, and the difference between my weight the day before and the current day appeared at the bottom next to the "01". So the scale remembered my weight AND told me the difference. I could tell this by looking instantly because the display turned green. The next day, I had gained weight and the scale told me how much. I knew that I had gained instantly because the display turned red.

I LOVE this scale. It's ease of use is unparalleled in that it does all of the math for you, and can do the same thing for multiple people. With its sleek design and sturdy, quality construction, I would highly suggest it to anyone!
