When my son jammed his finger playing baseball with some friends of his, I immediately thought it was broken and took him to the prompt care center up the street. They took an xray but were pretty sure just from the exam that it wasn’t broken, because he was …

I have had a few problems with my feet, and they don’t occur often. I know it happens because of the moisture that is often trapped in my shoes. I have wide feet and already find shoes very uncomfortable. I do not often wear socks, because I felt hat …

For some reason this year and this particular summer, my throat has just gone haywire with swelling and feeling like I have been a fire-eater for the last two decades. It’s weird because when I was younger, I always had the worst allergies and was heavily prone to having Strep …

DHEA is a chemical in the body whose production declines as we age. It is associated with estrogen and testosterone levels but its purpose is still not completely clear. I never thought much about the product when I saw it on the shelves. I’d heard of it in …

After a lot of my family and friends started hinting on my hunched back and incorrect posture, I had started feeling a little depressed. Since I am a person with not very great height, I now felt a little awkward whenever I walked or stood along in a group …

The cute name of this product, believe it or not, is not why I bought it, although I am subject to falling for those kind of marketing ploys. I actually bought it for myself, not a baby—“ and because of the ingredients. I have always been a tea lover and …

Samy products are new to me. I recently used their new hair color, Fat Foam, and liked it, so I thought I would try another of their products. This is a hair spray that supposedly volumizes. I need that as I have thinning hair and struggle with trying to create …

Do you suffer from dryness of the eyes? Do they burn, irritate, feel scratchy, or affect your vision? I have been dealing with dryness of the eyes for years. Instead of getting better after trying several different eye drop brands, my condition continued to worsen. In fact, I would …

This unusual product is a soap that does not lather. LaLicious is probably the only “soap” I have ever used that does not lather at all. It is more like a cream cleanser. (In fact, I do not know why they call it soap.) This attracted me because of its …

I bought Cell Food because of what I’ve heard from the grapevine. I heard that it works even for a dog. The sales lady at the mall said that one customer even fed it to a dying puppy, which seemed to come back to life afterwards.
I even …

Ever since I was in my high school days, I already had my pimples. I didn’t bothered to find medications to cure it because my father told me that it is hereditary and would only disappear when I’ll be 20 years old or up.
Then I reached my mid-year. I …

I’ve tried a few colon cleanse products when I felt a bit clogged up, and I never liked how they turned out. Either I felt sick, or the product tasted horrible, or there were just too many steps involved. Since I had tried another product made by Frut A Vie, …

I have taken my daughter to this hospital through the emergency room several times over the last few months. I have always had excellent service and a good experience with this hospital until recently. I am so disappointed to be writing a negative review as they were always …

Bag Balm is a staple in our house and we always keep a container of it in the cupboard. If you are not familiar with what bag balm is, think of Vaseline or a sort of petroleum jelly. There are so many uses for bag balm, from chapped …

I’ve always had extremely dry skin, and have tried dozens of moisturizers in a search for relief. Jergens Ultra Healing lotion has been by far the best moisturizer I’ve ever used. It has helped heal the cracked skin around my fingers from washing dishes, improved the skin on …

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 …

Riemann P20 once a day sun filter

I always look for comfort when I’m tooth brush shopping and I prefer soft bristles for my sensitive teeth and gums and a small head for my smallish mouth. Many toothbrush heads are just to big for my liking. I have actually been known to select a child’s …

I like to make my own massage oil blends, as well as use commercial ones. One oil that kept appearing over and over in some of my favorite products was grape seed oil. It seemed like whatever it was in, whether bath oil, massage oil, lotion, cream, even hair …

The only energy drink that I want is Lipovitan. Before, I tried lots and lots of energy drink while I was still in college during prelim weeks, those days that you need to catch up with your readings and finals week. I just can’t stand the taste of other …

When I purchased the DivaCup a few years ago, I decided I would also purchase a bottle of DivaWash. It only made sense to purchase a product that claims to be formulated to protect the integrity of the silicone material in the cup or more specifically, designed for the …

There are a few products I am very picky about when I have a cold and my tissues are one of them. I have always preferred Puffs brand, dating back to when they first came on the scene. They were softer, stronger, and the original ones had a nice …

One thing that I noticed after using …

This product is an oldie but goody. Ever since I was in my early twenties I’ve really depended on Vitamin E for many things including keeping my skin and hair looking shiny as well as boosting my immune system when I pair it with vitamin C. I know that there …

I became familiar with this lovely body cream when I tried a sample of some at a store. While I would never have thought of pairing ginger with mint, it actually makes a very interesting and relaxing scent. It has a slight warmth from the ginger, and the coolness of …

I do not normally use a douche, unless there is a medical reason to do so. I have heard that it disturbs the Ph, and can complicate many conditions. The vagina is a self cleaning thing. It should take care of anything that comes up—“ but sometimes, there might be …

Andrews Sparkling Salts is a product that provides relief for upset stomach and indigestion. It’s not really made for ulcers, so it won’t help much with any sort of burning.
