My mother is legally blind and can’t see how to color her own hair, so I am the hairstylist and colorist for both of us. When she recently tried out a new brand of hair color, it turned out to be a disaster. It left her hair a strange creamsicle …

Since joining a new diet I began taking the One A Day Men’s Health Formula to ensure that I was receiving my proper amount of nutritional values while on the diet with less calorie intake. Since beginning the daily formula, I notice the days that I do not take …

Not only does the body skin dry up during the cold season but so do the lips. Like everyone else, I get the problem of dry, chapped lips which often crack and bleed when left untreated or unmoisturized. Although wearing cosmetic lipsticks
can ameliorate the condition, there is no substitute …

Experiencing diarrhea is not easy especially if it is accompanied by stomach ache. I have experience this before and no Loperamide will be enough. I have used Lomotil, Diatabs and other tablets but they are not enough to make me feel better. I was almost nauseating and feeling weak …

Over the past two years (that’s when I was first introduced to Burt’s Bees products, even though it’s been around forever), I have used just about every Burt’s Bees product imagineable. I don’t like the fact that these products are extremely expensive, especially when I’ve trained myself to shop …

The As Seen On TV inversion table is a fair product. It says it helps back problems are it is quite effective. Basically what it does is turns you upside down. As you raise your arms, you slowly tip backwards. I figure it’s all about balancing. You must adjust …

Picture this: A travel weary young man fresh off the 12 hour over night train from Paris, covered in sweat, head full of random tidbits of information, and finger still sore from taking so many pictures.
That was me, backpacking through Europe…. untill I stepped into the Euro Youth hostel. …

For my last purchase of panty liners, I decided to try “U” brand by Kotex. Their tagline on the box is “barely there.” Normally products don’t quite live up to their claims, but I can say after using these that they really are “barely there.” This is …

This shampoo was one option recommended to me by my hairstylist the last time I had it professionally colored. It looked great—“ I had highlights put in, and I really wanted to keep the brightness of the color for as long as I could.
I had tried non-salon brands and never …

I started taking fish oil a few years ago, to help with my cholesterol and cardiovascular health, as well as general health and reduction of inflammation. I had a hard time at first. Most of the products I tried left a horrible fishy taste or the “fish burps” which …

In general, I have loved all of the Neutrogena products I have tried and feel that they are an excellent company. This particular wash is not, in my opinion, one of their best products.
I bought it in the summer when I was having a bad bout of …

Ever since I learned about the aluminum in most antiperspirant
products causing an increased cancer risk, I have been looking for a
natural alternative. I have found a few that work moderately well,
but none that are good enough to replace the standard mainstream
products I have been using for years, like Secret.
…

I can honestly say that, before these Rite Aid Antibacterial Cleansing Wipes, I had never used a Grape Scented wipe before in my life, and didn’t even know they would or could come with a scent to begin with. I have kids, sure, and I can see how a …

Good day, everybody. I will be reviewing about Ora Care Mouth rinse.
Not everyone has good breath. We all know that using the toothbrush everyday doesn’t take all the germs and bacteria inside your mouth and thus, needing some chlorine dioxide that eliminates strong mouth odor in an instant.
There …

Having bad skin was a major turning point in my life, in ways both good and bad. On the good, I never would have thought about taking care of my skin. It gave birth to all my meticulous skincare practices, which I still do up until now, …

This gentle creamy cleanser is both a good and a bad thing. It is good because it works—“ much like similar products made by DDF and Cetaphil, which come in a dazzling array of price ranges, the product does not dry the skin. It cleanses and removes oil and …

I admit that I am a kind of person that really pays attention to my physical body like the way I dress, the way I present myself to people and the way I look. That is why I am paying more attention to my face because admit it or …

While hitting the road, I was very confident that I packed all the things I could possibly need. Since I’m only out for a corporate trip, I didn’t feel so thrilled to prepare my things. I forgot to bring a hand sanitizer. There was little I …

I am a chronic dieter. Being diabetic and overweight is a bad combination for one’s health. I also have a thyroid condition, which makes it more complicated to lose weight than it is for most people. Being diabetic, I do crave sugar. Although I have been taking chromium for years, …

I paid about $15 for a 2 ounce bottle of this product. To be honest, at the time that I ordered this product I was a bit skeptical about whether or not it would work. I have recently jump started my new health and wellness regimen and …

I have a friend in the UK who sends me care packages with products that I can’t find here (Or can’t find easily.) Soap and Glory is not a name that I have ever heard of here in the states, but apparently it is quite popular across the pond. …
