I bought these masks to assist me when I was doing yard work. I have some seasonal pollen allergies, and I was told by a doctor that this could reduce the symptoms.
I did not find these masks to be very effective or pleasant to wear. The band kept getting caught …

Oh, Neosporin, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Well, if you haven’t ever heard of Neosporin, especially if you live in the US, then you have either been living under a rock or exist in a plastic bubble where nothing and no one can cut, or …

I am a firm believer in the power of ginger to settle an upset stomach. I like to keep some ginger on hand whether I’m at work, on vacation, or at home. Once I discovered Gin-Gins, having ginger on hand became simple. Gin-gins are individually wrapped …

Everyone knows I love bath products, and everyone knows I have fibromyalgia and often need a hot soak as much as I want one. And this year, everyone knew I was turning forty one and felt ancient. So my wonderful, caring friend buys me—“ Tired Old Ass Soak.
I …

You know, as I am going through my cabinets to find things to review here, I realize that maybe I am a bit of a germaphobe. When I came across the Safetouch Powder Free Vinyl Exam Gloves (Non-Sterile variety), and started thinking on all of the things I …

Lenscrafters has opened my eyes to seeing many things. I have loved Lenscrafters wide selection of frames and the fast turnaround for having our eyeglasses ready in less than an hour.
However, my severe astigmatism requires lenses that cannot be made at the Lenscrafters Store. It has to be sent …

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 …

I have tried just about everything to relieve my daily constipation and hemorrhoids and nothing seems to work as well as Equate Natural Psyllium Husk Fiber Therapy Capsules. I love this fiber supplement because it contains only pure psyllium husk fiber in it and it works well for relieving …

When I was staying in the UK for a few weeks, I placed an order with Aveda, and I noticed they had a cold and flu bath. I have become a fan of these soaks. They are very soothing when you have a cold or flu or just generally feel …

Do you scream when you eat an ice cream? If yes then you may be suffering from Sensitive teeth. ‘Sensitive teeth’ means the feeling of pain or discomfort in our teeth in certain situations, including drinking or eating cold things, drinking or eating hot things, eating sweets, touching the …

Tooth sensitivity is almost experienced by everybody. When we drink cold beverage, we can feel that our molars react to it. When we eat ice cream, it causes a painful feeling when it slides off in our teeth. Cold water or anything similar to it can make this …

I was never really sold into this yoga thing until a friend invited me to join her in her Ashtanga Yoga class because her group is offering a free one-week trial for “those who are interested but are still not sure if yoga is right for them.” Anyway, after …

I was actually really disappointed in this scrub that I purchased, I really regret buying it! I’m so used to using my St. Ives scrub, which works absolutely perfect might I add, so when I was in the cleansers section of my local drugstore, I decided to try out …

When my hair began to thin a few years ago, I was alarmed. I tried several shampoo remedies and scalp treatments but nothing seemed to help. The best results I got for visual effect were volumizing shampoos, mousse products– and not using conditioner. I also tried a few vitamin …

One day when I was shopping around in the salon, waiting for my hair appointment, I came across this TIGI product and picked it up out of curiosity. I remembered that I had liked the way some of the TIGI products smelled, so I took a sniff of this one. …

Foot care products have always fascinated me. Since I have always felt that our hands and feet were perhaps the most exposed part of the body, according to me they needed to regular care to help keep them in good condition. So for this purpose, I always loved trying …

I freaking loved M1-bol by Fizogen because this product actually works and it works real good. I bought M1-bol at GNC for about $100 and I thought that this was way to high but I decided to give it a try because I read the bottle and it really …

I tend to carry a whole collage of first aid items in my purse at all times, so I like things that are small but easily accessible. I have two teenage boys who tend to get into things they shouldn’t, and aside from that, I also tend to get …

This is one of those multi-vitamins that I still question to this day, years after I’ve used it. Not because it was a bad product, but because I’m not even entirely sure, after all this time, what kind of benefits I was supposed to have gotten out of it. …

I enjoy taking a nightly bath to help treat the pain and cramps of fibromyalgia, and very often I use bath salts, because of the high mineral content. This helps to draw out toxins from the body, and also to add magnesium to the water which may benefit the muscles …

I wasn’t always so girlie that I needed to have a dozen bath and body products in my bathroom, on the counters, surrounding the tub, but over the years, I’ve seemed to have morphed into a woman mad for these kinds of products. I have excessively dry skin, but …

Lip balms have always been my favorite fashion accessory and I had loads of them (with different flavors) all over the place. In fact I husband even jokes about it saying that I could easily open up a store of lip balms with my collection. But still I if …

So I kept seeing ads on television for this great weight loss product called Alli. One that even included a pharmacist to lost weight using this pill. I waited a while to try it because I heard that the pill had some rather nasty side affects. I did however …

Spring Valley vitamins in my opinion are a great value for your money. At $3 to $8 a bottle you really cant beat it. I use a lot of their vitamins but my favorite is the B12 sublingual dots. They come in a small …

I recently received a new Freestyle Freedom Blood Glucose Monitoring System from my Father. As it promised virtually pain-free testing, and several features not found on my previous glucose meter, I was pretty curious to see how it stacked up against the One Touch Ultra we had …

I was realizing that I had my current toothbrush for quite some time. I don’t like using the same toothbrush for more than three months, and knew that I was past my deadline. I wanted to try something different, and ran into the Smart Sense Gem Grip Toothbrushes with …

I’m not shy, so I will admit, I’m at that time of life that is referred to as “The Change”. Yes, I’m talking about menopause.
I decided long before I got to this phase of my life that I would refuse to take Hormone Replacement Therapy. I do not …

When I visited the UK for a month, I stayed at a friend’s home. We took several overnight trips to various locations, and sometimes we tried to pack as little as possible for convenience sake. We decided one day that we would take only one deodorant for a four day …

I have tried most of the supplements recommended for fibromyalgia patients. A few of them help you to sleep, which is a big factor in symptoms, and some give energy and relieve mental stress and anxiety. Rhodiola falls into that category. Recommended to me by a few patients that …

Because I’d already tried a wide variety of strips that you stick to your nose and they don’t even end up sticking or doing what they claim they’ll do (and they just look ugly too), and I’ve tried some dissolvable tablets that worked okay, but not long-term, and I’ve …

It’s weird that I should even have to do a review about blood pressure monitors, or (the second or third review for that matter), because I’m only 34 years old and it seems like that’s just way too young to have to worry about my blood pressure. Until about …

Cory Quirino’s World of Wellness is a well-known line of wellness products in the Philippines. With the recent strain of dengue that has been going around, my mom decided to get me the Health Protect Insect Repellant Spray (Lemongrass) upon seeing Cory Quirino recommending it and hearing some …

About two years ago my husband talked me into considering buying our first home. We were living in a mobile home that was paid for, but it was pretty much falling down around us and we have two children and needed something a little more stable. But, we were …

This product is made by Bliss, a brand I became familiar with from shopping at Ulta stores.
These pads are made to stop hairs from ingrowing after shaving. When I shave my lower legs, I often have hairs to ingrow a few days later, when the stubble starts to grow …

This may not be a conversation most men want to take part in, but it’s a necessary one for us women. Ever since I started menstruating when I was twelve years old, I’ve always had rather intense cramping associated with the process. As I’ve gotten older, the cramping has …

I bought this Burt’s Bees scrub after smelling it in the store and loving the sweet peachy smell.
It has peach stone particles to exfoliate and scrub the face clean, while leaving skin moisturized with coconut oil and glycerin. The product, like most of Burt’s Bees products, has mostly natural ingredients, …

I have skin that tends to get dry in the winter, and dry skin can sometimes be itchy.
I love to use a bath oil before I dry myself off from the shower. I especially like a spray version, because it goes on more easily and does not spill, and …

TheraBreath Oxygenating Toothpaste with Aloe Vera is a product that I would like to use, but I cannot. The reason I cannot is because I use two mouthwashes, one in the morning and afternoon and one at night. This toothpaste cannot be used with mouthwashes because the mouthwashes interfere …

Vaseline lotion is a brand I remember from my childhood. My grandparents used it exclusively, and I was always asking for some of the smooth yellow lotion for my own hands. The newer formula of the Intensive Care is called “total moisture” and is very similar to the one …

My hair has had a rough life. Coloring frequently has damaged it, as well as age, medical conditions and the fact that I refuse to cut it as short as my hairstylist recommends.
The ends of my hair look frizzy, dry, and require major heat appliance use to even make …

I like to make sure I am protected every time I have my monthly flow. I don’t like accidents and they can easily occur with me. I have a really heavy flow and it lasts for almost a whole weak. I hate dealing with it and have to use …

This flavor of Emergen-C was too bland for my tastes. I like the more flavorful lemon-lime and tangerine flavors because I like rich drinks that taste great. Mild drinks I’m not so fond of, and this is a mild drink to be sure. I think I can taste some …

I have combination skin that is very dry in the winter, but in the summer it turns into an oily monstrosity. I live in the South, where it gets very hot—“ and we all sweat. This does not help matters any when it comes to my oily skin. I …

In my line of work, my throat is often abused and given that its one of my source of living, I am conscious as to how I should take care of it too. I got the idea of this thru a local celebrity. She is a top talk show …

There are a lot of the people who are overweight and I am one of those people. I do not think that it is the big tragedy and for my consideration every man must be unique but in the same time I want to be an attractive woman. And …

The last time I had a dental check, I was stunned how pricier it is nowadays to get all the usual dental services than it used to. So it’s just right to put a premium on a toothbrush, and basically anything to keep my teeth healthy. Fortunately, …

I took about a year to persuade my parents to get me contact lenses after high school was over. My mother, especially, was very reluctant to allow me to use contact lenses instead of glasses because she had a bad experience with them. About 30 years ago, she had …

I have a tendency towards combination skin and occasional outbreaks of adult acne. Although I am slightly allergic to benzoyl peroxide, I was in a desperate rush to get rid of a very obvious pimple before a date, and I bravely tried this product a couple of days before hand, …

What started out as a quest for a small travel pillow ended up being a new aroma therapy adventure. I liked the feel of the flax-filled pillow that I saw at a friend’s house, and asked where it came from. I wanted something small, about the same size, that I …

I love trying out natural brands of soaps, especially when made by true soap artisans that take their craft seriously. Alpenglow is based in Alaska, and I recently discovered their site when a friend recommended one of their massage oils. While I was there, I looked into their soaps as …
