Adovia's Eye Cream - Review:



I love Adovia's products. They are gentle and easy on the skin.

This Review is about Adovia's Eye Cream.
The first thing I noticed when I received was the packaging. The small box was very appealing. When I opened the box I saw the jar and fell in love with it. Sleek, Smooth yet a matte finish the on the small jar. Upon opening the jar, the contents were a bit all over it (but that might have been from shipping). The cream was white & looked as if it had the consistency of vitamin e cream. It was not runny or liquidity.
First Use: Gentle, easy apply, no greasiness, quick to absorb & a creamy texture. Lightweight & soothing to the area around the eyes. My tired eyes felt less tired after applied. No smell, at least none I had noticed.
I wanted to try this for 2 reasons, One being it's from Adovia & two, a friend and my sister-in-law told me I looked dead. I had some pretty bad under eye circles (bags) due to very little sleep from stress & restless nights. Now I can't say it is a magical fix for the dark circles but it did help. I will continue to use this eye cream. Looking better than uncle fester is nice. I recommend it.

UV Sight's #1 Ultraviolet Blacklight Stain & Urine Detector Torch - Review:

I love this UV light. It works absolutely great for me. It not only picks up my mom's dogs stains, but it also picks up most of my potty training daughters stains and my son who is potty trained but sometimes misses the bowl. It also seems to work on some other types of stains (ie. food). I love this so much, no more smelling pee and not knowing where the smell is coming from. I have my go-to product for stains I can't find. No missing them with this. Oh and what's great is I don't have to get on my hands and knees to find the stains, I just turn this bad boy on and walk around spotting most stains that can't be seen and clean it up. Awesome product and it's one I will go to when needed. No more back-breaking crawling around...
*Note. Pics will be posted soon.

Adovia Dead Sea Salt Soap - Review:

At first, I thought it would be like a harsh exfoliating bar soap but it compares to nothing like any harsh bar of soap. This Adovia Dead Sea Salt Soap product has a nice fragrance not too strong or harsh, a nice clean smell. The smell is strong as you open the box but mild and soothing when you use it. The lather is rich, smooth and pleasant. No soap residue, it lathers on nice and rinses off completely. I Love Adovia Products, they are all so amazing and this Bar soap doesn't disappoint...

Adovia Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner - Review:



$19 Value - Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner - Deeply Hydrating and Nourishing on Scalp & Hair Review.

I like the Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner. I like that it feels weightless and leaves my hair feeling soft.
It is suppose to be for men and women but for me I like the smell but it seems like it's more for a man. The scent to me is between baby powder and a musk. It hydrated my hair nicely and the scent stays noticeable in my hair for days after I use it but it is not as strong as when you first put the conditioner in your hair. I left it in my hair for 3-5 minutes as I did my other things. (only one way to see how long a scent will linger for and how strong. I do have to say that it did help with my dry scalp but with continued use I think it would help even more.

The conditioner itself is very easy to use, has a nice smell (but more for a man), weightless and is creamy and has a nice texture.

I recommend this to my male friends and family. My husband will like this.

Dead Sea Mud Mask - Review:

*Note will write more as I have a little more time to use the product. I want to go into as much detail about my experience as I am able.

 PURE Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask...
1st time use was a cooling and minty feeling. Gets hard on the face so you can tell when it's dry.

 This is the best facial mask I have ever used, I don't use many if any facial products since I have sensitive skin, but I love this mask. I will continue to use it. It has a great minty scent, it feeling very cooling and nice on the skin after it dries (about 10 minutes) you wash it off with warm water and it leaves your face feeling tight and rejuvenated. I also want to state that the shipping was quick, only a few days. I 100% recommend this product to anyone. 5 Star review for overall greatness. Smell, feel, look and ease of use.

Now for my actual review:

Honestly, this is where I have to say for once I really don't have much to say. So I will start with some feelings/wishes that pertain to other things about phones. I miss the slide-out keyboard (and wish Apple would put that on the iPhone) and I miss some Android apps, otherwise, I really can't say. I do have to say compared to some other phones I've had and used I love the display and the color is really nice.

I will also say that whatever you do and I cannot stress this enough, Please DO NOT download a Beta version of iOS, unless you are prepared to deal with bugs. I had the beta version of iOS 7 and was not prepared to deal with all the bugs it really had though I thought I was.

The sleekness really does a great job for the look and feel of the phone. The iPhone 5 is really nice. It is fast almost lighting fast. The boot-up is even fast, faster than all the android phones and tablets I have and had or used. I like the lighting port, no need to fumble on which way goes which way and seems to charge faster than android, but that could just be the battery, technology, and OS.

Some features I like about the OS is the Find my iPhone, where if you misplaced, lost or your phone was stolen, you can play a sound even when in silent mode, lock or erase all info. Also the fact that now you no longer need to carry a flashlight or have an app, you can access a flashlight right from the lock screen drag/pull-up control center. Brightness in also right there in the pull-up control center menu, along with your basic options of Bluetooth, airplane mode, Wi-Fi, nighttime mode, and lock rotation. Some other things on that same pull-up menu are, calculator, camera, music player, timer, AirDrop, and AirPlay. The pull-down menu is notifications and calendar. The settings can get confusing at times but lots of options.

Other then that not much to say, so for now I will leave this here and say that if I think of anything else I will do an edit and state that.
*Note: I tried to do lots of pictures, which really don't do this phone justice. I also tried to put pictures of what I talked about where I talked about it. Somewhere dimmed screen and others were full brightness. Like the two above show the command center to the right and the left is the notifications center they were both actually the lowest brightness.Those were also screen shots. Very nice feature I should add since it was easy to take those photos, love being able to take a screenshot, very easy by pushing the home key and the power key at the same time but sometimes is a pain seeing as it's about timing, pushing both at the same time.

(Note: It is normal for the tablet surface to become warm during charging or long periods of use. 
(Note: If the tablet is not being used regularly, it is recommended to charge the battery fully once a month.) 



So those were the features and specs, it's now time for my review. Let's just start with why I would not buy the Zeki tablet again. 

  1. To me, it's a fake wannabe android tablet and the reason I say this is because for me to consider an Android to be Android, it must have Google Play Store, not some weird mall or store that doesn't seem to respond or work 1/2 the time. 
  2. The mall that it comes with to purchase & download apps just sucks. It doesn't respond well and seems to freeze quite often. The only upside to this is that Amazon App Store is preloaded.
  3. I don't like how warm it can get just from charging or using the tablet, I feel like it could cook an egg, though it's probably not possible but I'm not going to attempt that. 
It is a nice tablet and isn't super laggy, but some games lag more than other. I like that it is small so it is easy for younger/smaller hands to hold. Other than that, there's not much to say. The plus is yes you can download Google Play onto this Zeki but for one it is very hard to find online and second it's illegal, don't ask me why either because I am not going there.

This is Ask-Mama Reviews with the Zeki 7" Capacitive Multi-Touch Tablet (Model TBD753B)
