Black & Decker Makes D.I.Y. really F.U.N.

<How handy are you? I am the resident “Handy Woman” at my house, and what I lack in skill Black & Decker takes up the slack.</h2>

 

I recently won a Black & Decker 12V Lithium-Ion drill from DealDash, it’s my first drill, but I am no stranger to Black & Decker products! I am really excited about my new drill, it seems like it would be perfect for the average D.I.Y.er who is tinkering around with projects in the garage on the weekends and warm summer evenings on the deck. It is nice and light so you won’t need to flex your muscles just to use it. That being said, if you are planning on building a deck or putting in a new fence this is not the drill for that. This is a really great drill to do small projects such as putting together IKEA furniture, hanging pictures, building a sandbox for the kids, and 300 other projects small to medium.

The LED light is nice if you are using it in a dark corner, it automatically turns on whenever the drill is being used.  A few days ago I assembled a new desk for my fiance, this desk is a great cherry wood desk made by Sauder, also from DealDash. I was putting it together in the spare room, where the only light is an overhead, and is rather dim. The LED light came in really handy and allowed me to be able to see the tiny indention where each screw was supposed to go. The drill was definitely powerful enough to screw in all of the screws with plenty of battery to spare, even though it took me an astoundingly long time of two hours to put the desk together.

 

Black & Decker is proud to be an American company, and was founded in 1910! A lot of things have changed since then, of course, and one of the biggest changes for Black & Decker happened exactly 5 years ago, on March 12th, 2010 Black & Decker merged with Stanley Works to become Stanley Black & Decker.

Black & Decker has a HUGE line of products, including coffee makers, irons, hedge trimmers, toaster ovens, mowers, hand vacuums, and many many more! I have quite a few of these products, and they are some of the best in my house. If I am shopping and I have a choice between Black & Decker and another brand, I will pick Black & Decker every time!

DealDash happens to have auctions for different Black & Decker products just about every day. All you have to do to find them is just head over to DealDash and type in “Black and Decker” into the search box and all of the current and future Black & Decker auctions will pop up and you can pick which ones that you would like to set your Bid Buddy or an Alert on. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Remington iLight Keeps the Hair at Bay

Have you ever had laser hair removal? If so, you know that it’s expensive, time-consuming, and even painful! Well, all of those things won’t trouble you if you invest in a Remington iLight Pro.

I am a registered Esthetician in the state of Massachusetts, and when I was in school the teachers encouraged us to try out all of the health and beauty treatments that we were able to get. I was able to get a Groupon for Laser Hair removal, and it’s really far from a quick or even permanent fix. I had to go for 6 sessions, and while the hair is mostly gone the laser technician told me that I should come back every 3-6 months for a “touch up.”

That’s where the Remington iLight Pro comes in! I figured that if I was going to have to come in for a laser treatment 2-4 times per year at around $50 per treatment I might as well just get the Remington iLight Pro instead. It will pay for itself in the first year, yet I can use it for many years to come.

The iLight Pro is an IPL laser, which means Intense Pulsed Light. IPL is the technology that dermatologists use in professional hair removal, and now you can now get professional-quality results in your own home for less money for the treatment, and you don’t even have to tip! Unlike non-permanent treatments like waxing or dipilation  IPL doesn’t cut, burn or pull out hair, but instead works below the skin’s surface to disable active hairs and prevent new ones from growing.

Here is a quick bullet point list from the Remington website about how the iLight Pro works:

• Light energy is generated by a Xenon flash lamp and applied to the skin by a handheld device.

• The light targets the melanin or pigment in hair follicles, gently heating them and disrupting the growth cycle without damaging the overlying skin.

• To protect the skin, unwanted rays are safely filtered out, so that only light within the desired therapeutic range is allowed to pass through.

• Within a few weeks of your initial treatment the hair will begin to fall out and results should improve over time!

You might be surprised to know that Remington Products actually got it’s start as a firearms maker named E. Remington and Sons, which was founded all the way back in 1816! E. Remington and Sons made a few other things besides firearms, including farm equipment, typewriters, and sewing machines. In 1937 Remington started making health and beauty products, starting with electric shavers and then branching out into all of the Remington products that we are familiar with today, including curling irons, light-up makeup mirrors, and of course the iLight Pro!

Makia’s Hommage to Beer this Spring-Summer

People at Makia are considered to be some of the most stylish and you can find out why here!

How can you go wrong with beer and clothing? That’s just an example of what the team of Finnish designers at Makia Clothing are doing this spring. Their new lineup is inspired by beer. Since they consider some of their best ideas to come from times when they are sucking down suds, they have decided to create an entire collection devoted to bringing their passion for beer and clothes together.

 

The above is just an example of some of the unique and highly stylish fashion concepts that this team comes up with. Makia is already dressing the world in highly attractive accessories and apparel; you can count on Deal Dash supplying you with their products soon.

Makia takes the time to produce excellent clothing that is affordable and considered to be of the best quality. They achieve this by using high quality materials and using their passion for design to make some of the best looking clothing styles around. Moreover, I appreciate their dedication to quality. In a world where it’s hard to find a good pair of jeans that last for more than a few months, it’s good to know there are still manufacturers that care about the quality of their clothes.

Why They Stand Out

This team of friends with a passion for fashion is driven by one purpose and that is to bring you clothing that is designed with a straight forward approach, looks stylish and has the capabilities to endure harsh winter climates.

 

To put it bluntly, the clothes these guys make are fairly simple in looks. But there is something about the simplistic nature of the clothing that is highly attractive. Maybe it’s the fact that you can see the quality without a second guess and that speaks for itself.

I think what it comes down to is Makia is operated by a team of friends that get along and love what they do. Their passion bleeds into every piece of apparel and helps to create one of the most trusted brand names in all of Finland.

 

My belief is that we will soon be seeing this company in every shopping mall and on every website that sells clothes, but for now you can pick up a full host of Makia accessories soon right here on Deal Dash. The world has been asking designers for high quality clothing that is stylish and comfortable, Makia has answered and Deal Dash is now bringing it to you, which we know is one convenient source.

U like Wii?

Nintendo is one of my favorite game systems of all time, and I was so excited when the Wii U came out and took the gaming world by storm with it’s handheld game pad controller. There are so many different applications of the Wii U game pad controller that you don’t even have to be a gamer to appreciate it!

Starting off, it’s the only game controller that I have seen that even remotely resembles a tablet. Not only does it have the standard D-Pad and analog sticks, it also has motion control and a touchscreen capability. You can use this game pad controller as a second screen while you are playing, or even play the game strictly on the game pad instead of using the TV! If gaming isn’t your thing, but you have a Wii U in your house due to a roommate or relative, you can use the game pad as a TV remote, too.

Another thing that makes the Wii U different from some of the other competitors like PS4 or Xbox One is that Wii U offers more indie games than any other system. For instance, in an article on Gamespot last week mentioned three new indie games that are going to be released soon for Wii U – Don’t Starve, Octodad, and Never Alone. Other indie releases are coming out later in the year include Affordable Space Adventures, Runbow, and Swords & Soldiers 2. Nintendo has announced so many new indie titles coming out this year that they have even coined the phrased “Nindie” for Nintendo Indie.

If you are looking to add a Wii U to your game console collection, I would suggest that you try DealDash first. DealDash frequently offers the Wii U as well as games and gaming accessories.

Cash is Dead, Long Live the King – Thin King, That Is!

The Thin King is anodized aluminum wallets that are meant to hold credit, debit, and gift cards.

There are a lot of great new products that are coming out of Finland lately, but one of the newest and most universally useful are the Thin King wallets. They are not only useful but also have a stylish and modern design.

Think King has designed an anodized aluminum wallet that are meant to hold credit, debit, and gift cards. They will also hold any other card of a similar size such as a library or gym membership card, etc. Anodized aluminum is extremely durable, and can hold up to just about any type of abuse you can image, including being run over by a car!

 

Thin King also protects your cards from RFID scanners and skimmers. If you aren’t familiar with skimming and scanning, basically it means when a criminal uses a radio frequency to transfer data from your credit card to steal your card numbers without you even knowing it. Since the Thin King is made out of the anodized aluminum, it means that your card numbers and data are safe, since the radio frequency cannot penetrate it to steal your information. That is an extremely useful characteristic to have, because even if your bank reimburses you for the charges there is usually a delay while they are investigating, and then an additional delay for them to send you a new card with different numbers.

The Thin King is not only useful, it’s also much more attractive than your average wallet that has been in a back pocket or swimming around in the bottom of a purse for months. It’s got a sleek minimalist design, and comes in 9 standard colors: Red, Titan Gray, Silver, Turquoise, Blue, Black, Green, Champagne, and Hot Pink. Thin King has also recently come out with what they call the “Heritage Collection,” which are handcrafted out of special materials. The Heritage Collection designs have a limited production, so if you see one that you like it’s probably best to order it lest you miss out. The current Heritage Collection designs are called Curly Birch and Salmon Skin. Both the standard and the Heritage Collection Thin Kings measure 3.4″ x 2.4″ x 0.3,” just slightly larger than a credit card, so it fits perfectly in just about any pocket.

Volver Creative is the genius behind The Thin King wallets, who are located in Helsinki, Finland. Even though this is a Finnish company they have retailers all over the world that carry the Thin King, including Canada, USA, Russia, Korea, and many more. Volver Creative is a young and hip company that you should keep an eye out for. Their tagline is “Cash is Dead. Long Live the King,” which is pretty clever if you ask me!

You’ll find DealDash is offering up Thin King wallets on a regular basis. Now that you have the knowledge about the Thin King, and the links to the auctions, go ahead and set your BidBuddy and win one of these great wallets. Happy bidding everyone!
