When I was younger and in high school, I never used deodorant, and trust me, that made me quite an oddball to my fellow students as well as a target for secret ridicule from the nastier girls in class. But the reason why I never wore deodorant was for the …

I’ve always had a problem with iron from infancy, but it has gotten worse after I had my own child, to the point where I was looking at anemia. It gets so low during menstruation that I actually start craving blood and long for a nice warm cup …

I have been struggling with weight problems for years. Any program that I have tried has been to some extent positive, but not to any great measure. Probably the best of them is weight Watchers. I wanted to learn about what I was eating and the …

The Freestyle Freedom is designed very sleek looking. It isn’t your typical Diabetes monitoring system. I like my Freestyle Freedom Monitor for several reasons.
The first reason is because it cuts down on how many times you have to stick yourself. It also allows you to stick yourself in different …

The Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush with Sanitizer isn’t my favorite toothbrush but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work well on my teeth. The only reason why I’m not all that intrigued by the toothbrush is because it’s electric and when it comes to electric items, you …

Despite the fact that I have been trying for the past couple of months to curve the amount of money that I have been spending on cosmetic products, I still ended up purchasing this product. My skin is naturally very dry and the cool weather outside only exaggerates …

I’m usually a woman on the go, and I work long hours and sometimes the easiest thing for me to do when it comes to eating is just to grab something out of the pantry or the freezer, something I can easily heat up at work. Half the time …

I think liquid antiseptics are pretty much the best thing for any kind of injury you can find yourself with, which hopefully doesn’t happen often. However, in my household with two growing teenage boys there’s almost always one kind of accident or another that I’m battling with. Sadly, most …

I had tried an Eyebright eye drop as recommended from a friend of mine, though it wasn’t the exact brand she had recommended to me that time, and ever since then, I’ve been sort of drawn to the idea of using homeopathic eye drops to treat my tired and …

I’ve tried a few different kinds of the muscle pain relief creams and stuff. Usually I’ll buy one, use it for a couple days while a sore muscle recuperates, and then I’ll end up having to toss it, because it seems like it goes bad or loses its effectiveness …

My skin is very sensitive to soaps and cleansers, so I’m always aprehensive about trying new products on my face. I recently tried Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser on the recommendation of a friend. Generally, even though my skin is sensitive, I still like a little fragrance to …

The infomercial begins: “Ladies, listen up, are your arms….” and my eyes were immediately drawn to the arms. Not the girl in the infomercial. So, I did some research by looking online, and was tempted to order it from the television. Ordering from the television is not the best …

I am not a fan of diet supplements or even products which claim to suppress hunger. I find that eating less and exercising more is about as simple and effective a way to control weight that there is. I had recently been injured, and without being able to exercise, …

This cream was recommended to me by a friend who suffers eczema. Although I do not have the condition, I was having some patchy dryness on my legs that was bothering me, and she said this worked wonders for her. After reading the ingredients, I became curious so I bought …

My partner is a huge fan of sandalwood. I have never been a big sandalwood user myself, although I don’t mind it in moderation if it is added to other fragrances. When I found this shower gel by ShiKai, I smelled it out of curiosity, and found that I actually …

Ever since we were kids, we only used cotton buds to clean our outer ears. We used this old-fashioned silver ear cleaner tool which is not disposable. This is so cheap that one of this comes to about US$.05, and I always a few lying around. I like it …

I have to admit that the reason I picked out the Crane Penguin Air Purifier was not due to the price, nor all the nice extra things it does or how many smells in the house it gets rid of….I bought it because my youngest daughter loves penguins. …

A lot of people fear following the weight watchers diet because they don’t want to run into anyone they know or they are embarassed to publically weigh in. I recently discovered weight watchers online. I never knew that I could follow the same program on the computer in the …

I love cinnamon. I’d put it on everything if I had my way, but it’s not always the taste I’m going for. But, I like cinnamon because of it’s health properties such as supporting a healthy digestional tract and supporting the processing of sugars to raise metabolism. Since I …

I was totally unfamiliar with the Abs Diet when I recently came across the Abs Diet Workout DVD with Tom Holland. Since I make an effort to try as many new workouts as possible, I thought I’d give a shot. From the main menu you have your …

I don’t particularly like using products on my skin that contain questionable chemicals and pesticides; however as far as repelling mosquitoes goes, this is the only type of repellent that works for me. It is a going joke in my family that no one else will get a …

I have mixed feelings about this product. On the one hand, it does do what it claims. With the hydrogen peroxide action, it debrides mouth sores, removes particles, kills germs and cleans the mouth. I have used it several times—“ when I purchased it, I did not know that …

Feminine hygiene products are certainly not items women care to discuss publically, generally, but lately there is a lot of television advertising about literally dozens of brands, and they all make the same types of claims. Absorbency, comfort and long-lasting are usually the characteristics manufacturers use to describe menstrual …

I bought Altus Athletic Altus Flower with Carry Strap Yoga Mat for $15 online. Here is my review.
I like the mat a lot because it was nice - actually printed with flowers. I did not care much whether or not each of them contained fancy designs because …

I have two small keloid scars on my lower leg that have been there for years. I never really thought about treating them, since they did not really itch or cause any discomfort. I was watching a television show and there was a segment about silicone sheeting being used …

I didn’t necessarily relish the idea of heading back to the work place after a seven year haitus raising my kids, but it was a necessary evil that couldn’t be avoided for much longer. Ultimately, I’d have loved a desk job, answering phones and filing papers, which is pretty …

I bought this approximately for $2.30 for a 160-gram tube and overall I’m quite pleased with it; it has a 12-hour protection from bacteria buildup and it has a total whitening effect (supposedly) so this toothpaste has two good sides in one tube —“ it offers complete protection for …

Have you ever lost your glasses and didn’t have other glasses to find the first pair? It happens. It’s happened to me several times, especially at night, and that’s why my mom thought this product was the greatest thing since sliced bread for me. (Actually, sliced bread is not so …

I bought the Aromafloria Aromatherapy Head Aid Relief Inhalation Beads from Fragrance.net. I didn’t plan to purchase it I was buying some perfume as a gift for someone and I only needed a few more dollars to reach the free shipping point. It was pointless to pay …

I do get a good bit of fiber in my diet, being that I love grains and such, but I take supplements sometimes just to get a little more, or at the very least, all that I should be getting. I have tried Metamucil in the powdered form …

Since I have gotten a little older I have had more facial hair than in my youth. Most of it I can easily tweeze off, but I was having trouble tweezing my upper lip and eyebrows, because of the stinging pain. I am no sissy, but the sensation would make …
