Showering Your Cares Away..A Review of DreamSpa® All-Chrome Water Temperature Color-Changing LED Shower Head


I am a bit picky when it comes to my shower head. I don't want just any old shower head. I have always been attracted to the ones with all the neat settings such as rainfall, massage, etc. I never imagined I would find a shower head that not only has 5 near perfect settings (Power Rain, Pulsating Massage, Hydro-Mist, Economy Rain & Water-Saving Pause) but that also has neat LED lights of blue, green, and red to tell me when my water is ready for me to get in! No more mornings of being half asleep and walking into a cold shower to get the shock of my life...no NEVER again!

The lights start out glowing blue to let you know that the water is cold, below 95F. When the water reaches 95-108F the light will change to green so that you know it is now warm. At 109-122F you will find the LED lights are now red telling you that the water is hot. Should you see a flashing red light this is a warning meaning the temperature of the water is over 122F and may be too hot. Just as a side note I have never seen the flashing red and usually shower with the LED lights in the red. If you heavily use your shower and worry about how long these LED lights might hold up, they have a long life of 100,000 hours (over 10 years of heavy daily use).

This shower head is super easy to install and does not require any special tools, in fact you do not need any tools at all. The instruction paper tells you every simple step you might need to know. My husband had it ready to use in just a few minutes. My husband had to install it for me, not because it was difficult to do but because I am graced with growing to low to the floor and can not really reach high enough to change it on my own. This being said if you are graced with legs that are long even a lady can install this!

The quality of the shower head also seems to be good. It is not made of flimsy material that is going to fall apart long before your LED lights burn out. My family has been using mine daily and it is holding up wonderfully. The jets are better than the last shower head that I had. They have a satisfactory level of pressure with the settings that this shower head comes with. As another added benefit you do not have to worry about changing any batteries with this product because everything is operated by water!

I am very glad to own this shower head. I love the LED lights not only because they are a nice addition to my shower but also because they tell me when my water is ready. The settings allow me to switch to a softer water flow when I am in the mood for a relaxing mist or a powerful flow when I am wanting a good shower that relaxes my tense muscles. My whole family loves this product from myself, to my son, but more  surprising even my husband. If you are in the market for a new shower head I would highly recommend this product. It would be excellent for parents with small children to help with the fear of a child getting in to water that is too hot. It is excellent for those who want to relax in comfort in their shower without any cold or hot water shocks. It is just all around a great product for anyone.

I did receive this product for free or at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased review. The company or the discount has not in any way affected this review. The opinions are 100% my own after my use and evaluation of this product.

Gillette Venus meets Olay

I had not noticed this product on the shelves until a good friend gave me a coupon for $5 off the purchase of a Gillette Venus & Olay razor and refills. I enjoy trying new products and if I was saving five bucks to boot I decided to check it out. The razor was $8.97 and the refills were around $15 very close in comparison to all the other razors stocked so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did!

When I opened the product I thought I had made a huge mistake because the razor had two small Olay bars around the blades of the razor. The last product I had used like this had broken my legs out. I decided that I would give the product a try anyway after all this experience had been years ago and was not an Olay product. The razor was very easy to use. Just wet the bars and shave. There was no need for shaving gel or cream and the sugarberry scent was totally awesome. The razor shaved smooth and I did not have any irritation. Along with the great razor the package had also included a suction cup holder which helped the razor to dry and not waste and smear the olay bars.

 What I did notice is that the Olay bars were wearing down pretty quick. At the rate of first use I would estimate that you might get 3-5 shaves out of a cartridge depending on how many times you rinse the razor in the water. This is only an estimate and I have no idea how long a cartridge will actually last. This and the cost of refills are the only down side that I can find to this product. They are very easy to find if you wish to purchase your own, I bought mine from Walmart. I am sure this was one of the cheaper places than a CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens but I would expect you could find this product at these locations as well. I have not noticed if the Dollar Store or Family Dollar.

This is my low down on the Gillette Venus & Olay razor. I would give the product an overall 9 stars because of the products performance, ease of use, ease of purchasing, and overall quality. It missed the 10 mark because I feel the cartridges may not be as good a value as those for some of the competitor razors.
