Smart Watch

I have heard and seen a lot about smart watches so i was lucky enough to purchase one and this is the first Bluetooth watch i own.
The 5ive Bluetooth Smart Watch U80 Wrist Watch Sport sits perfectly in the packaging when you take the lid of the white box.
Under the watch sits a USB cable and the leaflet that will let you know all the information you will need to know to function this little gadget.
The watch didn't arrive charged so i plugged the USB cable into the side of the watch and the other end into a standard USB interface plug.
The time it took to fully charge was around two hours so i didn't have to wait too long!
Once charged you push the button on the side which is the power button and you are greeted by a welcome screen with a lovely tune.


The display on this watch is great and readable even outside and you can adjust the brightness and home screen to a few colours of your choice.
Different options to click on are
Bluetooth, Dial, Short message, Phone book, Call history, BT notification, BT music, Tools, Long distance capture, Step counter,
Drink, Rest, Sleep monitor, Anti-theft, Power save mode.
All work well by pressing gently on the screen and appear quick on the screen with no lagging.

In the setting mode there are settings to change to your liking these range from:
Clock, Tone mode, Volume, Language, Display,Check the battery level, Bluetooth settings and Reset factory settings.
All these settings work really well and you can change these to suit your tastes.

The watch strap is rubbery but feels smooth and comfortable to wear, the watch doesn't feel heavy around the wrist.
You do need to download "smile notification" onto your phone and "BT notification" from the google play store to use the watch to its full potential.
By doing this you will be able to receive messages and access the camera etc and make calls when it is paired to your phone by Bluetooth.
ONE TIP i would suggest is when you have downloaded the two apps and the watch is connected by Bluetooth you may get a message still stating to download the BT notification, all you have to do is go to the watch settings and find reset. After it has reset and you turn the watch back on everything will work just fine!
The volume on this watch is excellent and produces a loud sound when playing music and even making a call!
This being my first Bluetooth watch I'm quite pleased with it, just remember its an extension from your phone when you cant reach it!
This work's excellent with my Samsung Galaxy s5 and i found the watch easy to set up and use, when I'm on the go and my phone is in my pocket or bag, this will let me know who has messaged me or calling me. If i want to call someone my phone book appears or i use the easy to use dial screen and the sound is really clear to hear someone or when im talking to that person. 

Great to stay in contact with people!
This watch is great for people who want to get into the smart watch technology and at the fraction of the price of other smart watches you cant really complain for what the 5ive Bluetooth Smart Watch U80 has to offer.         X Neal.

Floating Jewellery Charms

What is great about Jewellery pieces is they can add a unique touch to any outfit of your choice.
Accessorising using jewellery can either compliment an outfit and bring a look your wanting to achieve, together. If your wanting to make a statement with your jewellery pieces, than down playing an outfit, can really make your jewellery be the centre pieces of your look from day or night.
A Touch of Dazzle offer great pieces to either work with your outfit or make the item of jewellery stand out and be noticed.
Arrives in a really nice gift box with a bow on the lid.
Once opened your be amazed on just how stunning this piece of jewellery is, sitting securely in the box.
The shine on this metal with the diamonds placed around the circle give this piece a stunning look.
The clear see through window helps make the charms stand out and being see through on both sides, it wont matter if the circle faces the wrong way when wearing it.

To open there is a little groove on the side that is really easy to open and to close, they fit back together securely.
What is great about this stunning piece is that it is suitable for any occasion or age range.
What is also great is you can change the charms to suit your own personal taste or someone Else's to reflect their personality.
There is enough room to add as many charms inside as you like as its comes with seven charms already.

The chain that comes with it is quite long and easily adjustable to suit your personal length on how you wear your necklaces.

Rihanna Smells

The sixth fragrance from Rihanna called RiRi was launched late summer in 2015.
What is different from the rest of the scents rihanna has launched is the new design of the bottle.
The pink bottle with the metal gold head stopper brings a sense of character of luxury and uniqueness that make this bottle stand out not only from the scents previously launched by rihanna but also the bottles in your own collection.
RiRi is different to the other scents you might own already from rihanna, so you wont be disappointed by having two differently named scents that smell the same.  
RiRi top notes:
Mandarin, Cassis, Rum and Passion Fruit.

The heart:
Pink Freesia, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Honeysuckle.

The base notes:
Indonesian Sandalwood, Skin Musk, Siam Benzoin and Vanilla.

On first spray you will instantly smell a unique sweetness and fruitiness coming from the passion fruit and mandarin, The hint of rum stop RiRi from running away with itself with that initial fruit blast.
The Floral heart which consists of sweet flowers, help bring a softness to this scent which helps this scent become unique in its own way and bring a mature element to stop this scent from smelling like a fruity sugar bomb disaster.
The base brings even more maturity adding sophisticated depth with a musky vanilla to transform this scent to compliment any season or occasion.
RiRi stays seductively close to the skin but lets you know its still on you, from its comforting aroma throughout the day or night. 
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the RiRi set that arrives in a black lid with gold box.
Inside you are greeted by a pink inlay of the box, working with the pink bottle coloured theme.
You receive a bath/shower gel and a body lotion that smells just like the Eau de Parfum.
What is great about Rihanna's scents are each one is completely different and unique. 
RiRi does have some resemblements to that typical celebrity scent, but if you like sweet, fruity, vanilla or soft florals all complimenting and working together, than this is one to add to your collection!
Hopefully Rogue man will be more available here in the UK, to smell just how great that scent will be.

bee venom

I have heard a lot about this new beauty trend so when i saw the bee venom by GIVERELDI reduced to a great price i had to try.
A 50 ml pot greeted me in a box that had some great information on it to help the user if they needed it.
The bee venom stem cell active day cream with manuka honey, royal jelly and hibiscus extract claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and will leave skin smooth and plumped.
A patch test is recommended before using this product and if you are allergic to a bee sting then it states, do not use!
Enriched with stem cell extracts obtained from Hibiscus flower, Apple fruit, Gotu kola and Grapeseed, the day cream provides gentle exfoliation to assist in the natural renewal process of your skin.
Bee venom, royal jelly and manuka honey are natural products made by bees. Fortified with these ingredients the formula moisturises, promotes suppleness and firms your skin for a youthful look.
Apply to a cleansed face massaging gently using a circular motion. Wait three minutes for the cream to absorb before applying any sunscreen or makeup.
This does have an SPF in it which is SPF 25.
The handy pot does arrive with a little spatula which is ideal on using, when testing the cream on a small part of your skin.
Now the cream is of a white colour and thick consistency which means u only need a little of this cream to cover a large part of skin surface on your face.
The first thing i noticed is the lovely consistency of the cream and feels very springy when you first put your finger into the pot.
This cream glides over your skin with ease and absorbs really well. Now the scent is a little like sudocrem which i dont mind as i have smelt worse scents in skincare products, enough to put me off that much, i quickly put the lid back on them quick sharp and they then take up space never to be used again.
I haven't used this cream as a day cream but found this cream really excellent to use at night!
My skin feels perfectly nourished and moisturised and the next morning my skin looks plumped with a clear refined skin tone.
You can also use this with other moisturisers to add even more luxury to your skin routine at night.
My only con about this product, I wish they did a bigger pot! 
I would say you do have to use a product more than once to see results but on first use, over night my skin felt instantly better! If your looking for a luxury cream to add to your skin routine the bee venom by GIVERELDI is highly recommended. 
Just remember to do a patch test first! X Neal.

Wash Your Own Clothes

Simply laundry detergents are suitable for the whole family, even those with sensitive skin.
Simply Pure and Simply Sensitive are soft tabs that you place into the draw of your washing machine.
When reading the packet it does state to use one but on heavily soiled clothes you can use two.
The little soft tabs have a protective film that when in contact with water will dissolve immediately getting to work on your washing even quicker! 
Some brands can take up to seven minutes until their soft tabs dissolve making a washing cycle not so great at washing your clothes.
When using both products to wash clothes i found the soft tabs had completely gone in the draw and i waited to see at the end of the wash if these really do get to work and can efficiently wash any dirt, stains away.
You know what its like, especially in a family, when one person plays sport and you have a toddler that seems to find rubbing food into their outfit quite fun.
Loading a washing machine with the culprit clothes to find when the cycle has ended, that the outfits are still stained and your left in a washing cycle nightmare of your own.
I used simply pure and was amazed on how well these cleaned the clothes and yes, even on a quick cycle! Also what surprised me was on how lightly fragranced the clothes were left with, not over powering or a heavy scent but a clean light fragrance!
The simple sensitive i was really excited to use as having sensitive skin i have to be careful what i wash my clothes in. Using a wrong brand can leave my skin itchy, red and just not great at all! 
The simply sensitive not only clean great and return clothes to a clean wearable state but there is no residue left on the clothes to aggravate any sensitive skin out there, Bonus!
The simply range is also environmentally friendly when the water leaves your washing machine and also the packaging can be recycled. The products are not tested on animals.

The pros:
1. 24 Tabs to a pack which is 24 washes.
2. Excellent results at low temperature wash.
3. Dermatological tested.
4. No residue left on clothes after wash.
5. A light fragrance that smells inviting.

Simply washing is available at Sainsbury's, Holland & Barrett and just recently amazon. Thanks to simply for sending me your excellent washing products to blog about! Now u have no excuse not to wash your own clothes!     X Neal.
