The Equate Triple Antibiotic Plus is a pain relief ointment. And since we have a kid (my seven-year-old sister) who’s always hyper and rambunctious in our house, we would often use this product as first aid whenever she gets cuts or scrapes on her knees or on her elbows. …

I’m not really a big fan of lozenges and cough drops but I understand there’s a need for it and sort of treat them as a necessary evil. One of the reasons I typically don’t like them is because their taste is almost always awful to me, and it …

When my son was born, I was very excited to try breast feeding and really connect with my infant. It was a hard process because I have whats called “inverted nipples” and it’s very hard for the infant to latch on sufficiently enough to get a good feeding. And, …

My husband has always been sort of anti-medication. It really wasn’t until about a year ago that he finally caved and started taking motrin for headaches. Otherwise he’d just suffer through it, lay in a cold dark room with a rag over his face. Not exactly conducive to being …

Some time a couple years ago, I was suffering from some pretty strange symptoms. I hadn’t had a severe earache since I was probably eight years old, but then all of the sudden, over the course of about a week, I started noticing the symptoms of what I thought …

When I got pregnant with my first child, I thought I was incredibly lucky, because I’d prepared myself for the worst in the way of morning sickness and never so much as experienced any queasiness. My friends who had children were all patting me on the back and tell …

I have sciatica, that I’ve had for about a year now. Just recently, however, within the last three months, it’s begun getting progressively worse. My doctor recommended physical therapy, but I just can’t afford that because I don’t have very good insurance, and sixteen consequetive visits would drain me …

I’m just going to say, right off the bat, that these didn’t work at all. Granted, I was a little skeptical to begin with because it sounded too good to be true. I mean, a cookie diet, after all, is like a girls best friend. It’s supposed to work …

What a fantastic product! I have two children, and this didn’t work so well on my oldest son, because he was prone to sucking his thumb verses using a pacifier, but I was able to use it with great ease on my youngest son who was quite the fussy …

A couple years ago, I tried a couple resveratrol supplements after reading several articles on the benefits of this nutrient. It’s basically nothing more than grape skins, though wine and eating grapes directly really don’t give you all that much of the benefits unless you’re drinking a WHOLE lotta …

I’ve used a few different Little Noses products and really like them because I think they are solid and good products to use on kids. It’s not medicinally strong, and some of them are all natural, as was the case with the Little Noses Sterile Saline Nasal Mist which …

I’ve had some hit and miss experiences with SinuCleanse, but this one seemed like it was just a typical nasal spray with a saline solution, and I was in a hurry and on my way to work so I just picked it up. Especially when I’m at work, I …

I used to go to a free gym at the complex where I lived, and I loved it. I was there at 6am every morning and had a one and a half or two hour work out each time. I got a good solid and well-rounded workout but then …

After so many years of having to resort to sleeping pills to get a good night rest, companies finally started to come out with some more natural alternatives to treat sleep problems. I have delayed sleep disorder, which means it takes me a really long time to fall asleep …

NeilMed SINUS RINSE Allergy & Sinus Kit has provided me at least a partial solution to my problems. I have taken a LOT of allergy medications over the last ten years, and sometimes I just hate the thought of taking another pill, or using another inhaler, or drinking another …

My husband and I both remember growing up having used Vicks products. And even as an adult, he always swore by their benefits, but I didn’t always like it simply because of the greasiness. It never failed to get on my clothes and sheets and usually stained it all …

I really don’t like cough drops for the most part. My husband swears by Halls, and every time I get a sore throat and ask him to pick me up something at the store, he always comes back with some Halls, no matter how many times I tell him …

We used to live in a community that provided free 24 hour access to their gym. It wasn’t a huge gym and had two different kinds of bikes, three tread mills, a weight training station and a stair stepper, but it was free and it certainly got the job …

This is another great product by Walgreens. Not only does it do the job you need it to do, but it’s probably one of the cheapest nasal inhalers you’re going to find at less than $4 each. I have allergies year round and nasal inhalers are one of the …

What if you could lose weight, firm up, improve your mood, gain energy and even strengthen your bones without even breaking a sweat? Well, that’s what the 90 Second Fitness Solution proposes and I have to say the prospect of only working 15 minutes a week is …

If you spend a lot of time using damaging heat appliances such as frequent blow-dryers, and straightening irons, you may want to try a product I just purchased at a local Sally’s Beauty store. The Silk Elements Megasilk Olive Heat Protection Spray not only leaves your hair …

My boss decided it would be funny for all of us girls to go on a group diet together. We would all put money in the pot every week, and the amount would depend on wether or not we had lost or gained weight that week. At the end …

This Wagi Nasal Aspirator Plus Bonus Ear Syringe is one of the best and most inexpensive types of products to use for infant care. When my kids were young and got a cold, it was a miserable exepreince for the entire household because they certainly can’t tell you what’s …

At my last contact lens exam I was introduced to a new product. Over the years I have used a wide variety of saline solutions and protein deposit cleaners. This new box however claimed to do everything at once.
When you purchase a bottle of the …

There is nothing worse than knowing you have to wear a swim suit or shorts on vacation and leaving the shower with red, irritated, razor burn. Besides feeling rubbed the wrong way, the unsightly bumps ruin the appearance of freshly shaved skin.
It seemed like …

About two years ago, my husband and I were window shopping at a Bed, Bath and Beyond shop and found one of those massaging chair pads for $100. We tried it out because they had one to test, and we LOVED it. We were determined to get one for …

When I’m sick, I really do love that kind of mentholated smell that’s pretty prevelant in medicated chest rubs. It helps to clear up the sinuses pretty effectively, and I like that those kinds of products are safe for my kids to use too, and I don’t feel like …

I am pretty much never getting a good nights sleep. My sleep patterns are all over the place depending on how my day went, how much stress I’m experiencing, what my work schedule is and if I’m able to “unwind” after a late shift in enough time to go …

During the winter months, my already sensitive skin really starts to act up. I find myself having issues with dry and VERY itchy skin, and usually the only months this problem doesn’t bother me is during the summer, which is only about two months of relief! The rest of …

I take my kids to Pediactric Partners, which is a pediatrician office. I love taking my kids there becauseit is well kept up and the staff is great. I like how they have the rooms decorated in cartton designs for the kids so it could more entertaining for the …

It wasn’t until about two years ago that I ever had a real problem with foods that caused gas or an upset stomach. But, all of the sudden, for like a three week period, I was having stomach cramping, and was spending a lot more time in the bathroom …

I’ve really liked Nature’s Bounty health products in the past, and was a little surprised to see they had something for hair, skin and nails, and not for specific health problems. It has 120 capsules in it, and you take three a day, preferably one with each meal, and …

When I’m in the mood to exercise, my prefered method is walking. I’m not a speed walker by any stretch of the imagination, but I like to aim for particular goals. It’s much easier for me to get motivated to go for my daily walk when I can tell …

I’ve had this sort of up and down issue with managing my cholesterol lately. For years, I’d never had a problem with it, but I think stress and bad dietary choices have created a problem where none previously existed. I didn’t even know I had a problem until I …

I used to hate cough drops of any and every kind. The only time I’d bother with them was when I had a toothache, and the numbing effect of a cough drop was the only thing that would help soothe the pain (who know?). But to use it on …

I think this is the first instance in which I’ve seen a cough drop refered to as a candy. I’ve long not been a fan of cough drops because I hate the medicinal aftertaste and, sometimes, if I have the time and inclination, I’ve prefered a nice cup of …

I have allergies almost year round, and my favorite type of product to use is a nasal spray, which is funny because I used to hate the idea of spraying something up my nose! I first tried a nasal spray when my doctor prescribed it for my allergies, but …

I went through a whole period, years ago, in which I was feeling sick all the time. I think it had a lot to do with a pretty stressful situation in my life that had my immune system beaten down to a bloody pulp and I was either always …

I have about six or seven pieces of fold-away or easily storable exercise equipment in my house that I’ve gathered over the last two years. Of all those, the Stamina InStride Pro Stepper was one of the top most expensive ones at about $70, but it came with …

My kids have unfortunately developed the same issues with their sinuses as I’ve had with mine the last several years. I actually didn’t grow up having sinus problems until I moved to Michigan, and then it’s been like a daily occurance for the past eight years. And, probably as …

I find myself snacking throughout the day, which wouldn’t normally be a problem if it wasn’t for the things I was snacking on. I may not always be hungry, but I definitely always have cravings for things it would be best to stay away from, so perhaps that was …

I go through these uncontrollable urges to get fit, when really, probably only surgical procedures could make that happen! I’m usually perpetually lazy, but every once in a while, the idea of doing some weight training and some walking really appeals to me and is a good way for …

I went to Dr Reddy when I had my last child, and I can honestly say she is one of the best women’s doctors in Fort Wayne. She’s great, and her staff is the best. She also engages nurse practitioners in her practice, to help them get …

I recently purchased contacts a month ago. I must admit that I absolutely love them. I’ve had glasses since I was about three years old and wouldn’t give them up until this year. My dad always wanted me to try contacts because he promised I’d see better and …

I have concerns pertaining to the kind of lifestyle I live and all the work-oriented stress I have to endure daily. Anyhow, I’d like to believe I’m as healthy as a horse at present but I cannot put aside the daunting effects that may follow in the long …

I have suffered from allergies for the last 20 years. Because of my allergies I have used almost every brand of facial tissue and toilet paper. Anyone with allergies knows the horror of using toilet paper but sometimes you are at someone’s house and all they …

I’ve heard a lot of hype about the benefits of acai berries in your diet as a supplement. I had taken some acai supplements about two years ago, and they worked very well, though the results were subtle, but then couldn’t find them again after that. Then, it seemed …

Over the past five years, I’ve had a lot of ups and downs where my weight is concerned. I lost about 60 lbs a few years ago, and hit a plateau that had me very discouraged and, even after trying a few supplements and something to help push me …

I have my own little mini-gymn now in my house because I have a slight addiction to buying foldable hide-away gym equipment. Like mini-me versions of what’s in a real gym. I used to have free access to a gym at the complex I used to live in, but …

When I was a kid, my mom always used to pull out the trusty Vicks Vapor rub whenever we started experiencing any congestion. And, as I grew up and had kids of my own, I preferred to use the Vicks Vapor rub as well. However, I’m also slightly obsessive …
