My daughter has had several broken fingers and jams them more times than I can remember. She is one that cannot tolerate any pain and she cries uncontrollably over a simple splinter. So, my home-made splints were really no good for her because her fingers would move …

Before I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, it was thought that I might be lactose intolerant. I tried using the Lactaid pills, and since I did sometimes get relief with them, it was assumed that the problem was solved. Unfortunately, I still sometimes got symptoms even when I had …

I do not often wear maxi pads and prefer to use tampons. However, it is not always possible for me to use them and I will buy maxi pads. Since they are not my first choice, I really don’t have a particular brand that I stick to. I like …

Overpriced? Yes but this mask is so wonderful. I tried not avoid Lush products but somehow it always make me come back and purchase some new products. That’s exactly how I came to the mask. I stumbled upon one of the best mask I ever used. This is naturally …

I received the Urban Rebounder about 2 weeks ago, and the minute I got on it I knew it was a serious piece of equipment. I go work out at the gym maybe twice a week, but this rebounder instantly let me know how bad out of shape I …

When my partner and I became very ill with food poisoning, we needed to get electrolytes back into our bodies. Constant vomiting and diarrhea was taking a lot out of us (literally!)

A friend of mine who absolutely loves nothing in the world more than challenging me to a political debate, which I am usually not interested in, sent me this soap as a gag gift because of the name. (Let’s just say I am NOT a fan of the Tea Party …

I hate this product because it never did give me any benefit from a deodorant that I wanted. I bought the product because I was thinking that the “Extra Whitening” part would offer so much more whitening effect than any product considering that it is also from Nivea. …

When I used to work for Bath & Body at the mall back when I needed a second job and the mall was hiring like crazy for the Christmas season, I had the chance to sample some of the best smelling lotions and bath gels imaginable. For the most part, …

Most of us don’t have the luxury of a simple insurance plan. So…when we face something like depression what’s the alternative? I faced 8 months of severe depression until I walked into a health food store to purchase vitamins for my son. That’s when I stumbled upon an all …

It’s the season for runny noses, hacking coughs and the use of one or two sick days. Almost everywhere I look, cough medicine is on sale and moving quickly off the shelves. Along with that I’ve noticed the spike in hand sanitizer sales. It seems like people are truly …

I was one of the unfortunate few born with sensitive teeth, like my father. I am one of the people in the world that have such sensitive teeth that I do not drink anything without a straw. I never use ice and frequently enjoy soft …

Ah, this is an old one but a good one. I had almost forgotten I’d ever used it until I actually recently saw a commercial for it. I started laughing because it’s such an unknown type of product that I didn’t think anyone would bother making a commercial for …

I have found myself in a predicament where I was sick with no medicine to take. Thankfully, I have a few people that watch out for me. My sister had quite a few packets of 1,000 mg Emergen-C Raspberry Flavored Fizzy Drink Mix. She gave me a few of …

This body lotion contains aloe and cucumber extracts which gets deep into the skin and moisturizes it. I adore this body lotion, not only for the ingredients but for the results. I have extremely dry skin from the cause of being lotionless for years. I needed something to replenish …

I am not really familiar with the effects of berries to our body because they are not a common fruit to me. I even seldom see it at the supermarket. When I was browsing at the internet there is this product that really caught my …

I’ll try any kind of toothpaste that says it can whiten teeth because mine are in some bad shape really and I’ll do whatever it takes to assure that I don’t have to live the rest of my life with coffee-stained, tea-stained and cigarette smoke-stained teeth. I was sort …

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 …

Getting sick is just one of the many things that we avoid. This is the reason why we always make sure that everything is clean. I always keep Casino Ethyl Alcohol at home and in my bag. It feels good to always have something that helps in keeping things …

Tuli’s Gel Heel Fatigue Mats retail for five dollars and forty-nine cents. In one package comes two mats. The packaging claims that one size fits all, but I don’t understand how that could be the case. These mats were bulky and it wasn’t easy inserting the mats over the …

What I love about the formulation of this …

For this review, I am focusing on the Plank Road location of NextCare, the one I visited recently. I do not know how the other NextCare centers here in Fredericksburg compare, so I definitely do not want to include those in this review, since I have never been …

My back is hurting me all the time, if I am doing a lot of grunt work it will go out. I use a lot of pain relievers and gels and such, but I also wanted a good back brace to use when I am doing labor work …

I’ve always dreamed of experiencing a Hot Stone Massage, but the luxury spas that offer them are little out of the reach of my work-a-day world. I pretty much figured that only celebrities and the very affluent had access to such restorative pleasures. Little did I know …

Just tried the master cleanse which is a way of detoxing using only lemons, water and maple syrup. I started at 182 pounds and during 20 days I lost 40 pounds and lost 3 dress sizes. I thank god I am now a UK size 12. But the weightloss …

I received this as a gift from a very, very close friend. At first I thought this was a set of scented personal lubricants, since it was made by KY, the King of personal lubes.
However, only one of the small trial size bottles was a lubricant. It was the …

Gwynn Patterson is an OBGYN practicing in Sierra Vista Arizona. I chose her because I wanted a female practitioner and the other one was booked for months. No wonder why!
At a first impact she appeared as if she was in a hurry. She then was …

Now I realize that some people would say, hey, shouldn’t you be reviewing this product under ‘baby’ instead of ‘health’? And yes, true, it is a product meant for babies, but I have to tell you now, there are times when as an adult, you can appreciate ‘baby’ things. In …

I’m a pretty big fan of my Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Cream Conditioner. I am in a never ending battle with my hair as my roots are crazy oily and my ends are extremely dry. I never put conditioner on my roots as that will make them …

I bought Softsoap Pomegranate & Mango Moisturizing body Wash along with another scent in one shopping trip after having come across it at the store (and having already been a fan of their hand soap). I really liked the scent and found it deliciously fruity, smelling really tropical …

I have been living a very stressful life lately and I have always desired something that could relax me at the end of the day, like a good massage. I decided to buy Babyliss Body Toner because it was affordable and I desperately wanted a good equipment for self-massaging. …

Knowing the high fat, salt, …

My mother has got diabetes since 8 years. It was quite a shock for us when we first knew that she’s got diabetes as there is still no cure found for this disease. It was quite hard to tackle it as a family, because we didn’t heard any thing …

I was a bit confused when I saw the label on this conditioner. I thought perhaps it was an alternative to shampoo, because a product like that can be very useful for dryer hair types. As it turns out, this is in fact a conditioner, to be used on clean …
