Ivory Soap
I used and loved Ivory Soap among all the other soaps I tried, simply because it has a lot of good points. First of all, the one I’m using is the imported one made in US and not the local one. The local one feels hard on the skin and …
Charmee Pantyliners
Charmee Pantyliners are pantyliners you can wear for everyday purpose. I have used a lot of pantyliners in the past but I like this one a lot because the design of the pantyliner fits right - it is not too wide, not too narrow. It is 10 cm long and …

8 Minute Abs and Arms Workout DVD
After trying the 8 Minute Buns and Legs workout, I thought I‘d see if I could get a hold of the 8 Minutes Abs and Arms Workout. While I knew the first DVD cost about twenty dollars, I was shocked when I saw the second DVD for …

5 Hour Energy - Berry Flavor
I had seen this product advertised on TV and in magazines, and I decided to try it for myself. Usually I can’t tolerate energy products very well because they usually make me shaky, anxious, or jittery. Sometimes they even make me feel sick. Usually in the …
Luster 1 Hour White, Tooth Whitening Light System
I have been using teeth whitening products for several years. I like to use whitening toothpaste, rinses, and occasionally white strips on my teeth. With any of these products, although they are often effective in lightening my teeth, they usually take a week or more to start …
Colgate Junior Bubble Fruit Toothpaste
Normally parents would be the ones reviewing a children’s toothpaste but I am going to review it from a 40 year old’s perspective.

Got2B Styltini Double Shot
I have thinning hair and I’ve tried just about everything to help it look thicker. I found a product I will go out of my way to buy, when it is available.
I have never used any of the other products from Got2B (Schwartzkopf) but I bought their 24 hour …
Ultra Brite Baking Soda and Peroxide Whitening Toothpaste
If you prefer to use a whitening toothpaste, which will also clean your teeth well and keep your breath fresh– but you are on a tight budget, I have a recommendation. Ultra Brite is an “economy” class of toothpaste, usually costing around one dollar for 6 oz tube.
I think …

Perfect Purity Advanced Lubricating Skin Lotion

Colgate Max Fresh With Mouthwash Beads Toothpaste, Mint Burst Flavor
I’ve been using this toothpaste for about a year and a half and have come to the conclusion that I should switch to something else. I’ve discovered that despite the inclusion of mouthwash beads, my mouth does not feel particularly clean after I use this toothpaste. And the fresh …
Oral B Soft Small Head Toothbrush Polishing Cup Design

Ocean Potion Moisturizing Aloe After Sun Lotion

Klafs Sauna/Sanarium 15033
A sauna at home is a luxury for us but since the number of warm days here is much less than the number of cold days, then it really made sense that a sauna be installed in the house. More importantly, with the back problems of my husband, taking …
Vibroshape BodyShaper Door Mounted Exercise Bar

Ivory Soap
When I was a little girl, my grandfather used Ivory soap. Of course growing up, I got into all of the fancier, more modern shower gels and feminine triple-milled soaps that became popular. I forgot about Ivory. I forgot it even existed. One day last month I was browsing …
Dr. Perricone MD Skin Clearing Dietary Supplements
I cannot validate certain claims placed by some beauty-enhancing supplements that they truly work. Even prescriptive anti-acne medications did less to clear my skin problems. From dermatologist-prescribed pills to herbal supplements, at some point I was able to reach credible success at suppressing acne but the thought …
Neutrogena Anti-Aging Hand Cream
Last week I was given a gift of a small tube of Neutrogena Anti-Aging Hand Cream with active soy and spf 15. I was surprised at the small size of it (only 50 ml) but happy that it fit in my purse. The first time I used it I …

As Seen On TV Inversion Table
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 …
