I like to offer different viewpoints on the reviews that I'm approved for. Not only does someone else in my life get something to test for free...but it also offers a different outlook on products that I might not be crazy about. Le Garcon's Grooming Pomade is a prime example of this! I can't stand to have ANYTHING on my hair. I don't use hairspray, gel, mousse....nothing. My husband, on the other hand is a hair fanatic and he burns through product quickly. When I saw the opportunity to have him try something new, I seized it! I thought he might enjoy it. Luckily, I was right. :)
The biggest aspect of the Le Garcon Grooming Pomade that he pointed out was it's hold. He slept with it in his hair one day as we were taking a nap and when he woke up, his hair still looked great! Using this product means that your hair won't fall throughout the day and you don't have to worry about your style splitting.
The thing that I noticed most was the smell. It's not super strong, but it's noticeable. At first I thought it had a mint smell...but that doesn't quite describe it. It smells familiar, but I can't place it. It's not a bad smell...just unique. After a while, I didn't notice it at all.
This pomade goes a long way! It only takes a little dollop to do the job, and since it holds all day, you don't have to reapply! It's a little thicker than other products, so that means that you're going to use even less.
If you're looking for an affordable alternative to high-priced and short-lived products, I'd highly suggest Le Garcon's Grooming Pomade!
I'm on the go CONSTANTLY! It just so happens that I'm also constantly on my devices! Mostly, I read in my downtime from my Kindle...but I also check emails and listen to music. Both of those things require a lot of battery (through using data or WiFi!). When I was offered the opportunity to test a portable battery charger, I was very excited! I received the Innogie ELite Series 3200mAh Aluminum Portable Charger and...it's awesome!
Now...I've tested chargers in the past...and they've got one of two problems: they charge super fast and they don't last...or they take 8+ hours to charger and by the time they're done...you could have just charged your phone on the wall and have done it faster! My favorite aspect of this battery charger is that it doesn't take long to charge and it can recharge my phone completely two and part of a time!
It's not big and bulky...at all. In fact...it's smaller than my phone. Most portable chargers are big and bulky and definitely bigger than my phone. This makes it easy to store in my phone wallet and easy to carry around with me.
I love the fact that I can drop it, sit on it, and otherwise unintentionally hurt it and it takes the damage.
It's a fantastic charger that's easily the most convenient one I've used! It's awesome for situations where you don't know where your next charge is coming from! It's also a great alternative to a car charger (two of my first cars didn't allow me to charge!).
Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: pm47fa1e27cc0c050aaf8f02272045eca0
I hate cooking with the stove and oven (haha!) because the temperatures worry me. Don't get me wrong...I still do these things but I'm not secure in it at all! Up until lately, I've been using traditional cotton-based pot holders and oven mats. The heat always comes through to my hands and it freaks me out!
As I've mentioned before, I love testing new things when it comes to our kitchen tool collection! I was very excited to try Pratipad Multipurpose Silicone Pot Holders! I did NOT think that something so thin (comparatively) and holey (it's made with a honeycomb design) would protect my hands! But it DOES, and it does it very well! In fact, it protects up to 446* F! Holy cow! This makes it really convenient to use on my crafts!
Pratipad Pot Holders are also dishwasher safe and withstand twisting and bending! That's awesome because it means that they'll last longer!
An added bonus that I figured out was that they can be used to help grip tight jar lids. I have issues with opening most jars and this helps me pop 'em off!
The fact that the holders have a hole for hanging them on hooks is convenient as well! You'll always know where they are and you'll always have a place for them!
I'm really excited about these because I can cook and craft knowing that I don't have to worry as much about the heat! They're comfortable to hold and efficient!
I'd highly suggest adding them to your kitchen collection!
Haha! Seriously though...my most recent product review makes me think that way!
In fact, my BFF and I have been talking about using our BarBrat Ice Ball makers for a get together! We both are product reviewers and both got one for free in exchange for our opinions! It's a pretty sweet deal, especially when the product is so awesome!
The concept with the BarBrat Ice Ball makers is that it's a cooler looking, more efficient way to make ice!
Basically, there are two parts: the top and the bottom. Both are made of silicone, and the top piece has a little hole. I put the two pieces together and fill the now-formed sphere with water until it overflows. I add a little to each of the four holes. Then, I freeze it for 24 hours and wah-lah! Ice spheres! It's very easy, but it looks complicated!
The result is an awesome, futuristic-looking drink! :) Now, obviously it's cool looking...but how is it more efficient? Well...I've fit more ice in my cup this way and because they are more dense, they don't melt as quickly!
The only downside that I could find to this product is that it's not bigger! I would love to be able to make more ice balls at once but I think that the product would be VERY hard to handle that way (as the tray is made of silicone and would sway and bend and spill everywhere).
If you're looking to entertain, definitely pick up one of these guys and plan in advance! They're really cool and I know you'd get compliments on it! Pick up the BarBrat Ice Ball tray here!
Recently, we announced that we're moving across the state so that I can accept a new job and so that we can be closer to our families. We've been very lucky to have lived in houses with hardwood or tile so far. This makes cleaning up pet messes easier. However, the house that we're moving to has carpet. In order to take the very best care of the carpet possible, we plan to rent a carpet steamer about once a month. In the meantime, if there are pet messes, or even people messes, I've been on the lookout for carpet cleaners that actually work!
I was offered a free sample of Carpet Afterlife and happily reviewed it. I'll need as much help as I can get! The first thing that I noticed about the product was that the label is very nice looking! I really like the pet photos and the font used. Any information that you may need (directions, warnings, features) are all on the label and easy to read.
I'm weird in that I smell things. I guess it comes with being an art teacher (you know you love the smell of new crayons and paper!!). The next test was the scent test. If something is too strong, it's unappealing...especially if it's chemical-based. However, I realized from reading the label that this cleaner isn't chemical-based...it's enzyme based! This is great because enzymes are what keep a pet coming back to the same place over and over. Bleach and other chemicals merely mask the problem area...but the pet can still find it! There's no harsh chemical smell and no chemical side-effects to worry about!! Yes!
Finally, I used the cleaner on the bit of carpet in our current house. I used an old sponge and toothbrush to scrub and wipe and I was amazed at the dirt that came out of the carpet! The spot looked like new in comparison!!
If you've got a problem with pets returning to the same spot over and over, and want a cleaner that makes a visible difference, you should check out Carpet Afterlife here!
When a wonderful lady who works with me gave me a piece of a Wandering Jew, I didn't think it would survive. I literally threw it in a cup of water and waited for it to die. It's not that I didn't like it...it's just that I'm horrible with plants. Animals...I can do. Plants...for some reason...I have a black thumb.
To my extreme surprise, the plant not only lived, but THRIVED! Since it had made it through my harsh treatment of sometimes forgetting to add water to the cup, I figured it could stick around. BUT I felt the pressure of getting it to live and taking care of it! I knew that I would have to be SUPER nice to it to get it to live.
Around the same time, I saw a promotion come up for HomeEco's Plant-A-Bottle. I was interested because it could very well make my plant experience easier. Soon, I had my own set of four of the stakes, free to review.
The first thing that I noticed about the stakes is that they're made of bisque-fired clay. This is very smart. Bisque-fired clay is very porous and therefore, would allow the moisture to pull through it. However, I needed to see it to believe it.
The purpose of the Plant-A-Bottle is to turn any bottle into a large water supply that will deplete as the plant needs it. However, because I have cats, I won't use this with a bottle. They'll knock it over, water and dirt will go everywhere, and I'll swear that they're all going to the pound (even though that never happens...no matter how much they hurt me or ruin my things). It's not worth the potential mess. So...I've decided to use them by filling the reservoir with water, and leaving it at that. You can use it either way!
As the dirt dries, it pulls the water through the fired clay-body and to the plant roots, as it needs it. I saw it in action, and can say that the water DOES soak through. Because the process is so slow, you don't have to worry about your plant drowning. You also don't have to worry about missing a day of watering. If you decide to water, the dirt becomes moist and additional water isn't pulled out of the stake. It's literally a supply-and-demand system!
They're also very durable. I've dropped one and it didn't even come close to breaking!
I really love these stakes! I can't wait to get more plants so that I can use them all!
If you're looking for an eco-friendly, efficient, and hassle-free way to water your plants, I would highly suggest Home Eco's Plant-A-Bottle system! See my video review below and get your set here!
Another review that I'm sharing on my personal page tonight because I know a lot of you are new mothers or expecting! This review is too sweet to keep to my review page and I think a lot of you will like it!
I saw this product and knew that I had to have it! If nothing else, I can use it in my classroom with the kiddos since it's calming, adorable, and it's all music that I can appreciate as an adult!
Lullaby music can be boring...drag on...all start to sound the same. It's especially hard for me to keep focused on it when I don't know any words.
Enter: Jammy Jams. The Jammy Jams label produces albums that are soothing instrumental (xylophone) versions of popular music. I sampled a wide selection that included the Billy Idol "Rock the Cradle" album (which included songs like "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding"), "Lullabylooza - 90's Alternative Goes Lullaby" (think Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Cure), and "Once Upon A Rhyme - Lullaby Renditions of Hip Hop" (which includes Run DMC, Outkast, and 2Pac).
Those options were the ones that Gage and I selected. There's SO many others, including various versions of the Hip Hop albums, a baby Headbanger's album, Pop albums, 80's, Christian Contemporary, and even specific artists only (like Lady Gaga!).
I really love these albums! They're so much fun and I wouldn't go crazy hearing them over and over! I love that they're clear enough that you can hear the words inside of the instrumentals and not just the background music (sometimes that can make it hard to figure out the song).
My personal favorite was the 90's Alternative because it brought back memories of my bus rides to school during my elementary years. As an adult, I also tend to listen more to this genre than any other. It's exciting to know that I could share this music with my baby and not have to worry about the harshness of some instrumentals and some of the lyrics!
In my product review journey I've discovered a LOT of supplements that have made my overall health better. From energy boosts to focusing to hair growth, I've tried them all. One thing that I was interested in, but not sure of where to start, was reinforcing my immune system. Working around kids leads to sickness...quite often. I've heard of the Vitamin C remedy, but I wanted something more (as I'm already getting Vitamin C through a multi-vitamin). The more I researched, the more I became convinced that B12 is exactly what I needed!
As a vegetarian, there are certain vitamins that I need to get through means other than my food. B12 is one of these, and is highly suggested for nursing mothers, vegetarians, people who drink and smoke a lot, and elderly people.
The most noted benefit of B12 is the energy gain. It allows the body to convert carbs to glucose. Glucose is the sugar in grapes that cause them to be a sudden burst of energy. The body processes it quickly, and puts it to use immediately.
B12 is also fantastic for skin, hair, and nails. When you pick up a supplement for this purpose specifically, you will see it listed. It fortifies hair follicles and gives skin and hair a healthy glow.
The most interesting benefit I found was as a depression-fighter! Who knew that B12 would help to relieve stress and balance out the body? I'm all about feeling better! Along those lines, it also helps with blood pressure, which plays into the entire digestive and cardiovascular systems.
As for my experience with the product, I have to say...it glides on smoothly, is scentless (to me, anyway...my husband didn't report smelling it), and absorbs quickly. I can't say as to my actual blood pressure, vitamin absorption, etc. but I did notice a re-energized feeling the same days that I tested it.
Pick up your bottle here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I2THMAW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and get on your way to better health!
I HATE getting a really nice top, washing it, and then immediately regretting it. For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why my lace-based tops kept getting little rubber bands all over them. In order to wear the top, I'd have to spend an hour trimming and yanking the little strings in order to be able to wear it. After this happened to two of my tops, I finally made the connection that it wasn't the clothes, necessarily, as much as it was my need to be more careful about washing them. I began to hand-wash these items, but I would eventually get absentminded and throw the top in the washer. I didn't really thing about it, but I knew that I needed some sort of something to help prevent this. When I was selected to review Fuse Essential's Lingerie Bags, I immediately thought of my lace-based tops.
The set that I reviewed had four bags total: 1 small, 1 medium, and 2 large. I noticed right away that it was very easy to see where the zipper was due to the pink material. The bag itself is soft, white mesh. It's not typical, large, jersey-type mesh. It's much, much finer. It's almost hard to see the holes, actually! As far as capacity goes, I would say that the large bag could easily fit one of my bulkier jackets. The small, obviously, could work for bras and underwear.
I threw in my favorite kimono that had an entire lace back into the medium bag and hoped for the best. There was plenty of room left over. Much to my delight, when I pulled it out of the dryer, it hadn't suffered a single bit of damage. The best part was: none of those annoying rubber strings!
If you're looking for a great way to protect your lace-based clothing items, you NEED this set of bags!
Before getting married, Gage and I were holding off on investing in our kitchen utensils and devices until we saw what we would be getting. Now that we've used everything and have an idea of what we want to do, we're slowly getting additional things to help with our cooking. The biggest pain in the butt has been trying to keep up with measuring cups. However, when I was selected to review Smart Weigh's kitchen scale, I had no idea that this free product review would be so convenient! I expected that I would be able to weigh in ounces and I also expected to be able to track my hedgehog's weights, but I didn't expect the scale to be able to tell me how many cups of liquid I had just based on weight! It measures both milk AND water! I'm so stoked about this feature! It's the thing that REALLY made me fall in love with the scale!
Besides measuring in so many different units, the scale is REALLY sharp looking! I expected nothing less after reviewing Smart Weigh's bathroom scale. Their designs are very futuristic, sleek, and modern. They're beautiful! The actual surface for weighing is thick, crystal-clear glass and the base is silver colored. The LED display is sharp and bright, and I have no issues reading it. The buttons operate smoothly and there's no doubt about what setting you're on. It's very easy to operate and understand.
I keep my scale beside the kitchen sink, so I know it's been exposed to moisture. I won't say you should dunk it in the sink...but it's holding up fine in the splash zone/high humidity of the sink area.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this kitchen scale if you're looking for a new one or even looking for a device that does it all! It fits with nearly any kitchen decor, and is sure to last for years!
Sometimes I see something that I'm DYING to try, but I'm hesitant to jump because I'm not sure if the product will work as awesomely as it looks. Sometimes, companies can make their product look insanely cool, but when push comes to shove, there's really not a whole lot to set it apart. I've never used night vision glasses before, but I do know one thing: I hate driving at night, I'm not that great at it, and it makes me nervous. I really had nothing to lose when I had the opportunity to try the product for free.
Here's the promotional image: It's really awesome. You can probably see why I was hesitant. There's nothing wrong with having awesome promotional material, but typically companies that put a lot of effort into having extra cool ads are trying to compensate.
I can honestly say that Knight Visor glasses don't fall into that category. I started using these glasses about an hour before sunset. Even in the daylight, they made everything sharper and clearer and eliminated glare. They worked so well that I wasn't sure how they would work in opposite (dark) lighting. As the sun went down, the light levels and the way the road looked kept changing, and the Knight Visor glasses kept up. There was no point where I thought "Nah. The road looks better without them.". The trip I took was three hours one way, and I kept them on the entire time. In fact, when I stopped for gas, I didn't realize for a long while after I left the station that I didn't have my headlights on. They make things THAT much easier to see.
I should also point out that I have bulky, thick-framed glasses. They fit perfectly on top of these. My husband also used the glasses for driving, reported similar results, but he DOESN'T have glasses and they fit him perfectly too.
The clip that comes with the glasses is very convenient for keeping up with them and fits perfectly on my visor without damaging it or pinching it too tightly. The case that the glasses come in is amazing quality! The zipper moves smoothly and effortlessly and the case is covered in a fine mesh. It's easy to keep track of and there's plenty of room in the hard case for everything.
They're lightweight, so you barely notice they're there. The nose and ears are comfortable. The ear pieces are lined with a rubbery grip and the nose is lined in a type of plastic foam.
Overall, I'm rating this product five stars because it really works! I won't be driving without these guys ever again!
I've recently been introduced to the concept of Espresso. For some reason, I assumed that it was just like any other coffee. There are little pods that you can get for the Keurig to make specifically Espresso, but now that I've received my first Espresso cup, I realize that the Keurig verion is 1. probably weaker and 2. actually closer to a double drink that a single.
When I received Le Bleu Bean's Stacking Espresso cup, I was immedately confused due to how small it is. I assumed that it would be the same size as a regular coffee mug. However, It's not. It's very small, due to the potent nature of Espresso. Laugh at me for not knowing this naturally if you want, but hey, I'm all the wiser and more cultured now. ;)
Le Bleu Bean's espresso cup is very cute! It's small, it's convenient, and it's quality. Let me explain: the convenience comes in the concept of stacking mugs. The top of the box that houses the mug looks like a Lego. This allows for other units to stack right on top of each other. All you have to do is wash and dry your mug and you've automatically got a place for it to go. It makes for a really cool, modern looking display next to your Espresso maker.
Quality comes in in the construction of the unit and the construction of the mug. Both are very well-built. The mug itself is heavy with thick walls and a thick handle. The plastic unit isn't flimsy and has no sharp edges or corners. The cup fits perfectly inside without much wiggle room, yet it is very easy to slide out. I can't comment on the units connecting, as I was only sent one free product sample.
Overall, I really like this little guy! I'm not sure that I'll end up with a whole collection of the, but this unit is great quality and convenient. I would definitely look into getting more if I were big into Espresso and had people over for coffee.
I'm getting ready for bed after a LONNNNG week from HELL. I'm not kidding when I say this. I had to get a sub at one point this week to take care of some personal business, and SEVERAL of my kids got detention. ONE even got sent to the office for a PADDLING! WHAT?! They're never THIS badly behaved, but something is in the end-of-the-school-year air that has them acting CRAZY!
So basically, TGIF. I need this weekend to recharge for next week.
Today I felt so dragged down and exhausted that I couldn't wait to get home. When I got home, I realized that I couldn't truly rest because I felt so disgusting. Today it was sunny, about 80* or more, and RAINING. Downpouring, to be exact. So my hair...skin...every...sticky and gross. I hate the feeling.
As someone with super oily skin, I felt disgusting all day.
A student came up to me today and say "Oh my God, Miss Mayes. You look super sick.". Thanks, kid. I just didn't wear foundation due to my oily skin and the humidity. Way to make me feel good about myself. ;) Oh well, I wasn't upset!
So when I got home, took care of business, and turned into a vegetable for a bit, I decided it was time for a shower. I can't explain the good a shower does me. Seriously. I feel like a new person when I get out!
This shower was especially awesome because of a couple of Retseliney products that I got to try out for free! One is the Advanced Exfoliant Cream and the other is the Potent Antioxidant Mask.
The Exfoliant Cream is my FAVORITE. I've had issues with cystic acne, and it's erased it. Seriously. No more nasty under-the-skin bumps for me! On top of that, it's getting rid of all of the dirt and oil that build up by polishing it away (it has a fine, fine grit without using those awful plastic beads!). My oily skin has been far less oily after I use the cream, and that is giving me more even makeup application and healthier skin! I love this stuff! A little goes a long way so this jar will last forever!! It's not too rough on my sensitive skin, either!
The Antioxidant Mask is great too! It leaves my skin glowing and hydrated (but not oily). It's great for dry patches that have been polished away by the Exfoliant Cream. The label warns that it may tingle. I have super super sensitive skin so I won't lie...it was intense...but it didn't hurt and it wasn't unbearable. The mask goes on evenly and smoothly and comes off easily.
Overall, I really loved these products! They've helped my skin drastically!
For some reason, I'm extremely late to the selfie stick party! I've heard of them, but I honestly had no idea how they work or how to use them! I could see the convenience, and, as a daily selfie-taker, I could definitely use one! My biggest issue is trying to get my entire outfits in my photos, but not having long enough arms. :P When asked if I would review a free sample product of Francois et Mimi's Selfie Stick, I had to try it!
Here's a photo of what the selfie stick looks like. I'm having issues getting my phone to upload my photos of the product AND that I've taken, so this will help you visualize for now! The stick is very easy to assemble, with different heads for different sizes of phones and GoPros/any camera with a tripod mount on the bottom.
The things that I like about this selfie stick are that it extends to be VERY long. In fact, it extends to be 39"! That's a far reach! The collapsing is very smooth and easy, but sturdy enough that it doesn't slide back in when you're trying to take your picture. The handle is a rubberized grip that doesn't slip around. It's got a texture to it, so you're not going to drop it easily. I did have to adjust my handle a little, because the button icon wasn't lined up exactly over the button. Easy fix, not a big deal, but I wanted to mention it to anyone who might have the same problem and think it's broken! Once I got the alignment right, It took pictures perfectly every time! There's no delay in the shutter, either, so you don't end up with blurry pictures.
The attachments that allow you to attach your phone are lined with a rubbery foam. This allows it to grip your phone more accurately, which keeps it from falling out and hitting the floor! There is a screw on the side of the head of the stick so that you can tilt your phone or camera forwards or backwards. Attention has been paid to every detail and adjustment that you could ever want! I really enjoy using my selfie stick and at a price tag of under $10, I highly suggest you get one too! Find yours here!
One of my biggest pet peeves is a dead cell phone battery. Being away from home so much means that I need to stay connected. Through having multiple obligations outside of work and a love for exploring and film photography, there's not much time for me to actually plug in to a wall power source.
When offered the opportunity to review a Lifeguard Portable Battery Charger for free, I was super excited! This device would allow me to be prepared, no matter the situation, and would offer a convenience that would be dearly appreciated!
The first thing that I noticed when I received the bar was that it was heavy in my hand. The metal casing is sleek and black and heavy duty. There's no fear of breaking the thing if I drop it! The bar is about as tall as my phone is and is perhaps 1/2" to 3/4" wide. It is rectangular, but the edges are rounded out, so it's easy to slip into my pocket without sharp edges. When I connected my phone through the provided mini-usb cable, a light near the Lifeguard logo lit up (blue). That let me know that my phone was charging and that the portable charger still had "juice".
The bar is very straightforward and easy to use. The mini-usb port is labeled "input" for when the bar itself needs to be charged. The standard usb port is labeled "output" for when a device needs to be charged.
I have used this portable charger with my phone and my iPad, and am happy to report that it can charge my phone fully multiple times on one charge. It keeps my iPad running when the battery is low, however, it isn't for as long as my phone (perhaps due to larger screen size and more advanced operations). The bar itself takes a couple of hours to charge, but can be done in your "down time" or can be left on a charger when you are out for the day.
Sometimes I'm selected to review a product that I didn't know that I needed in my life. I accept the offer to receive it for free thinking "Sure. What the heck. I'll find a use for it." and then I end up LOVING it and using it every day. In the instance of D-Knight Magicbox Bluetooth Speaker, I'm HOOKED!
I love things that I can jump immedately into using without having to read the instructions. The description of the product included "Bluetooth", so I figured I'd be fine if I turned the speaker on and turned the Bluetooth on my phone on. Instantly, I was able to pair the two, and a chime let me know that the connection was solid.
After I had the basics down (thanks to my Amazon Prime Music app), I explored the buttons. There's a button to connect the phone to the speaker, a button to skip forward and backwards through a playlist, and a pause/play button.
On the side, there's a slot for a memory card, an auxiliary input, a power switch, and a mini USB port for charging. The speaker came with a cord that allows it to be charged and it charges QUICKLY. I've gotten hours of use out of just half an hour of charging.
I placed this speaker in my car because the sound quality is so much better than my sound system. My car's stereo isn't old (it's 2014), but this speaker is just so clear and LOUD that it's hard to beat. The distortion doesn't happen until a surprisingly high volume.
The speaker itself is sharp looking! The plastic (or metal? I can't tell) mesh is black, and the top and bottom are non-skid silicone. The buttons are silicone as well.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this speaker! It's so awesome that it's definitely on the list of things that would be a great gift for anyone! I highly recommend it if you're looking for a louder way to play your music or an alternative to your car stereo. It's a fantastic gift for the music lover in your life!
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!
