I had some health issues of my own to contend with …

A hospital is supposed to be professional, clean, hygienic, caring and should, most of the time, be able to heal the patient. But, when a hospital is all this and beyond —“ then there’s nothing like it. That “beyond” is being hospitable, making the patient and his/her family …

I really like Olay products because they work so well on my skin and make it so soft and smooth. One product I really liked was the Olay Calm Release Body Wash with Violet and Lavender, but it’s really hard for me to find now in stores. …

After I had fallen in love with a lotion that had the Naked Bee’s orange blossom scent, I found out that they also made a two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. I couldn’t buy it fast enough. This is a natural product, without the usual detergents we see in mainstream brands. There …

Every once in a while, I like to walk to work. I only live about two miles from where I work and when the weather is nice, I don’t mind making the trek at all, and find it rather invigorating. I’m not exactly the active sort, I’ll admit, but …

When I was having some serious hip and lower back pain, I was sent to physical therapy. One of the things used for me there was a TENS unit. (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)

I am an avid yoga practitioner who has been doing yoga for months now, so I don’t know what makes a good yoga ball or a bad one. I have owned a few balls before, but they were just too big or are not comfortable to use.
Luckily, I …

Listerine Quick-Dissolve Whitening Strips are an alternative to more expensive white strips, as the Listerine brand costs less than half of brands such as Crest White Strips. I decided to try the Listerine brand mostly based on the price, and also the fact that the strips claimed …

I will try anything to break a plateau, to the point that I sometimes feel I am a walking target for every weight loss scam out there. Some are worse than others. I’ve tried many.
Here is one with a very scammy-sounding name, but actually I have had more results from …

The name of the product caught my eye, and the fact that the bottle was an interesting design that tilted inward to match the conditioner which tilted outward. I bought the shampoo, being happy with my conditioner at home. This has 100% organic extracts, and lots of natural ingredients. It …

I suffer from fibromyalgia, and I have tried most of the muscle rubs on the market. Most work as counter-irritants, containing menthol substances that stimulate the nerves in the skin to produce a “distraction” of a cold or hot sensation, so that fewer pain signals make it through to the …

I actually bought this item second hand from a yard sale. It looked like new, and the person selling had lots of different exercise equipment so I assumed they just didn’t get around to using this one much.
I wanted to try and firm up my thighs and chest …

I’ll start off by saying that this product is ridiculously priced, at $25 for a 12 bar pack. And it comes with some seriously massive claims that it is the solution to weight loss problems and you can eat until you’re full. Why? Because you’re full much more quickly …
