When I was recently browsing the Primal Elements site looking for seasonal soaps and new items, I came across a soap I simply could not resist. Primal Elements makes beautiful loaf soaps with amazing inset designs, that are cut into slices to produce a work of art in soap making. …

I’ve been taking birth control ever since junior high. Not for preventing pregnancy, but for painful periods. I had my first ovarian cyst in the 7th grade, I’ve had periods that last up to 3 months, and taken almost every birth control to help the pain and excessive bleeding. …

When I was a baby, I was found to be allergic to cow’s milk. Apparently I broke out in huge sores all over my scalp and skin. I was given goatmilk instead and this solved the problem.
Later, I outgrew the allergy and have since been able to tolerate cow …

I used to work for L.A. Weight Loss as a sales manager and diet counselor, and I’ll admit I wasn’t necessarily taking the best care of myself at the time. But as I was sitting their inspiring other people to take their own lives in their own hands, they …

Growing up, I used to think that Neosporin was the be-all and end-all of antibiotic ointments. My mother always had a supply of it in her house and, as a result, I always keep a supply of it in my house. But, for the most part, I don’t always …

Like most people, I seldom believe what is presented to me in infomercials found on television. In fact, I don’t think I have ever purchased anything off of TV until recently. The AB Circle Pro is an exercise machine that has been thoroughly marketed on nearly every …

I am really a long time user of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly even before I switch to Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Cream. Though I have the creamy formula, I always see to it that I have the jelly one. This is already a part of my health habit when it comes …

It was my first time to attend the Barre3 exercise program last week. Barre3 is a mix of ballet, yoga and pilates, and a class lasts for one hour. The program includes several different workouts which make use of the bar, an exercise mat, and a small …

I love to have a hot foot soak to help remove dead skin and refresh my tired feet. I have long been a fan of peppermint foot soaks, as well as tea tree soaks. Lately I have bought mostly tea tree products, so just to be different I decided …

The Vicks Steam Guard Vaporizer has been a constant companion to our family last winter. Last year I had the worst case of bronchitis. Yes, I did take medication and even antibiotics, but there was nothing that felt so good as the hot moist steam of the …

I have used several peroxide based products for mouth irritations and infections, so when someone recommended this product, I thought I had “been there and done that” already, as the standard treatment with hydrogen peroxide rinses was not working for a cluster of sores that had come up in my …

Medicated, menthol and Eucalyptus oil based vapour inhalers have been around since the 50s and their popularity has not waned. This is especially true in Asia.
Almost everyone has bought and tried a inhaler to get instant relief from blocked nose at least once.
The most popular one is …

I found Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars in mixed berry flavor in the health aisle at the grocery store. I was rather interested because they looked pretty good on the package. I trust Kellogg’s foods because I have been using them for a long time and know they usually taste …

I’ll be honest. Mostly I just bought these because it looked like a cool idea. My feet hurt all the time, and I go through different insoles like they are going out of style. In my shoes, and with the amount of time I’m on my feet when at …

I have heard the rumors that this bath oil works as a mosquito repellant. Since I had an Avon order for some other items, and it was on sale, I thought I would order some and see if the rumors are true. When I got my oil delivered, I …

My husband often takes these teas for anything and nearly everything. There are teas for different problems but his favorite is Dr. Ernst’s number 10 which is specifically for weight management. He has a bit of a problem with this weight which is probably inherent and even …

I would like to talk about the captivating fragrance of Marks & Spencer’s Classic Fragrance Florentyna Soaps. I got this for free last Christmas. This was one of the giveaway items that my Boss distributed to her close friends. I entered her office one time and noticed …

Mouth ulcers are literally a big pain in the mouth ;)
While everyone speculates why people are suffering from these mouth ulcers I am more interested in solutions. In general I would prefer the cause over the solution but in this case I’ve tried so many of the suggested things …

I have a daughter and she is about 2 years old now. She used to fall sick every 2 months or so. Usually it’s either fever or flu or even cough. I guess that’s common for all kids. Those with traditional thinking would say that it’s due to the …

There’s a plethora of lip balms out there, claiming to do all sorts of things. Carmex is one brand that keeps it simple. The slogan for Carmex is “It Soothes, It Heals, It Protects.”, and it really does. I’ve always had trouble with chapped lips and only one lip …

My allergies and the allergies my kids also suffer from are pretty bad at times especially when the weather starts to warm up after the long winters here. I have pretty much a standing prescription for allergy medication from my doctor but it’s not always enough to really do …

One thing I always liked about the original honey & lemon Locketts was that they actually tasted quite nice and I always accept one if I am offered it whether I have a blocked nose or not. These Extra Strong Lockets, however, are more of an extreme menthol …

I’m not sure I can even express how much I love this product. I was talking to some friends of mine about getting healthy and we’d all sort of made a pact to start eating right and get all our fruits and vegetables in, but all the while I …

This have been my tampon of choice for years. I have tried many other brands and I always turn back to Gentle Glide because the others just don’t compare! The applicators are very smooth and gentle, just as they advertise them to be. They are not bulky at all …

I am always trying to find a shampoo to fight my dry and flaky scalp. I’ve always had this problem and it can be really frustrating to deal with. I’ve gotten to the point that I will do anything to get rid of the problem. A friend of mine …

I think I mentioned in another review that I am trying to get myself back in shape (and lose about 20 pounds in the process) and, rather than spending money on a gym, I am unburying some of the exercise equipment that we have purchased in the past.
One of …

Being a certified “bath junkie” means I will try just about any brand that looks promising or offers me a good price. I love using various kinds of bath additives, and one favorite that I keep coming back to is a mentholated mineral bath. I have fibromyalgia, and suffer …

I purchased this fade cream because I had such amazing results with the last Nadinola fade cream I purchased, that was in extra strength with 3% hydroquinone. During the Spring and Summer seasons, my skin switches up on me and gets super oily, and spending time in the sun …

I purchased this bike over a year ago and overall I have been really satisfied with the way that it has worked. I purchased this bike for 250 dollars and although I had to pay a lot for it I truly feel that I received my money’s worth …

I was randomly searching online for different diets to try when I found the Cottage Cheese Diet. I’ve had difficulty in the past finding a diet that I could stick with, so I wasn’t overly hopeful, but I always leave myself open to new possibilities. I initially …

Last Christmas one of my friends gave me this Organic Shampoo in a 50mL bottle. I didn’t use it at first because I do have a lot of hair problems and I wasn’t sure how this would affect my established regimen. After 3 months I decided to try it …

I like to try various natural products, to escape from some of the chemical exposure, and also because they tend to be very unique with attention paid to both the environmental health and the consumer’s. I came across a bottle of the Earth’s best lavender body wash and shampoo, …

Soft soap is a well known liquid soap and body wash manufacturer. I have been using softsoap to wash my hands for many years. I never knew there was a aloe vera version of soft soap until I was shopping at my local Dollar Tree discount store when I ran …

When needing a really good quality cuticle pusher, I decided on a Tweezerman Cuticle Pusher and Nail Cleaner, because they had a good reputation for being well made. It was a little expensive, costing me around $12 on sale, but it’s such good quality, that I know it …

Four months into my quest to achieve my ideal body, I stumbled upon another exercise I immediately fell in love with. I’m talking about the much talked about and positively reviewed Physique 57 Solution. The fitness exercise or should I say technique was founded back in 2006 by creator …

I was on a wierd health kick for a while that tended to revolve around these kind of holistic or homeopathic supplements that have giant claims of making you feel better than you’ve ever felt in your life. One such product that I tried during this year of strange …

I bought this Acne Gel from Healthy Options on the second floor of SM Mall Manila. I actually bought it because I read about it online, and so I thought that it might be a good product. What I like about this product is that, it is actually …

All my life I have hated hearing people snore. It’s just so irritating and truly annoying when you are trying to go to sleep but the person next to you sounds like a freight train about to jump the tracks. You just want to turn to that person and either …

Tampax Pearl Plastic Tampons, I would say, are the best and most comfortable tampons out there, and for several different reasons. These tampons are plastic and are very easily inserted. I find it very hard to use the cardboard ones, as many other brands are, because they are very …

I find myself getting sick multiple times a year. It seems that I get sick more than the usual person and I am always trying a new medicine. Instead of waiting to take medicine once I am already sick, I thought it would be better if I just starting …

I am now officially over forty and looking for ways to delay the inevitable wrinkles and signs of aging in my face. I had heard wonderful things about hyaluronic acid products, so I thought I would give one a try. I saw several brands available, and bought this brand because …

It is often true that we judge our meat’s freshness, in the grocery store, by the color of the meat. I’ve been told that the lights in the store turn the meat from a fresh pink color to a brownish hue. The meat industry has decided that there is …

After being dissatisfied with a bath bubble mat that was meant to mimic a hot tub, I decided to buy this bath massage pillow instead. The massage is only concentrated on the neck and upper back, but it was not loud like the bubble jet mat and was much easier …

Sometimes I buy a product that I don’t really need to fix a problem that doesn’t really exist. I guess we all fall prey to marketing. I have never really suffered from “feminine odor” problems, but since they make a deodorant spray specifically for that, and I am a …

During the winter months, my already sensitive skin really starts to act up. I find myself having issues with dry and VERY itchy skin, and usually the only months this problem doesn’t bother me is during the summer, which is only about two months of relief! The rest of …

I love taking my nightly hot bath. It is relaxing, fun, and therapeutic. In fact, it has given me back my life. I have suffered from fibromyalgia since my late teens, with symptoms like extreme fatigue, muscle pain and spasms, nerve pain, and overlapping problems like migraines and …

I just love using this feminine wash because it significantly reduces feminine odor everyday. I used to use Lactacyd feminine wash when I was still in Philippines, but since I moved to the US, I can’t buy the product here so I was searching for other alternative. I always …

I’ve used Stopain products in the past, and found them to be adequate enough. I’d tried a roll-on version of this same product, but liked the idea of a spray more because there was no need to rub the product in, and it’s mess free, and the bottle was …

Anyone who is into homeopathic medicine knows about the beneficial properties of Arnica. I find Arnica Gel from Boiron to be the best form of Arnica to use. The lotion kind is to greasy for me and leaves your skin feeling sticky.
The Arnica Gel called Arnicare Gel from Boiron …
