Coconut Oil is the biggest secret today. Everyone is still in love with the idea of Polyunsaturated fats like Canola Oil, and Safflower, but they turn their nose up at the word “saturated”. Yes, Coconut Oil is a saturated fat, but a medium chain fatty acid. It goes immediately …

It is amazing to me how many different medications I can try in a four week period, but I can’t seem to shake whatever it is I have and I’ve been to the store every other day trying something new because not a whole lot seems to be working …

I purchased this deodorant shortly after it was introduced. The main thing that attracted me to it was the fact that it included a full sized bottle of the body spray that also comes in this scent. I normally purchase Secret, Suave, or Teen Spirit deodorants since …

I wasn’t sure how to feel about a product like this where you put the pouch on the clothing instead of on the skin, but this was a while back, before I’d used the stick-on-skin pain relief patches, and had heard a lot of scary things about those kinds …

The problem of acne has been associated with me from my teenage years. Even though their appearance now has seemed to reduced quite a bit, even their mild presence did make me look quiet dull and unhealthy. The fact that I experience acne over my body and specially on …

I don’t use most brands of adult mint flavored toothpaste because they are too strong and burn my mouth. When I do use them, I don’t brush long enough, which makes me fall behind in my oral care routine. I am diabetic and cannot afford to do this. To …

It might just be the placebo effect, but I’m pretty sure that One A Day supplements give you (or me, in this case) more energy, stamina, endurance, mental vigor, and general virile improvement. I only started taking them about a week ago, but I’ve taken one every morning …

I have a friend who is a bit of a flower child, and when I was having some sinus problems, she insisted relentlessly that I should let her candle my ears. She had all sorts of (anecdotal) evidence that this would help. Not only would my sinuses clear up, but …

Iodex pain reliever is no doubt a very soothing and effective pain relieving ointment, we have been using it for ages and it gives quick relief but it leaves unrecoverable stains on the clothes. Once I was having some back problem and so applied Iodex ointment over my …

Having a glucose problem, I have to check my blood sugar often, and when I was first diagnosed, I went to the store and checked out my options. I’ve seen the One Touch Ultra all over the TV, so that one was the one I was more familiar …

I know of someone who had several surgeries on his back, and his pain was pretty constant. He bought a Thermophore Arthritis Pad and it seemed to be helping him. When we were talking, a long while back, about my back issues, he suggested I get one …

I don’t even know what the name of this product even means, but that’s okay as long as it works I guess. Smile’s is the name of the company that creates the PRID Drawing Salve. And of course I was kidding just a bit about not understanding the name. …

I was on the lookout for an all in one product for my face in the summer. Since I have a suspected case of lupus, I need to keep sun block with serious potency on my skin, and since I am forty one, I want something that assures me I …

Last summer, we took our daughter in for a routine eye exam at our local Shopko optical and were told she needed glasses. I honestly had doubts about this at the time because she never seemed like she was having problems seeing things. But, I’m not an expert and …

I’ve been using Clear Women Softcare Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for more than a year now not because I had dandruff before but because this shampoo brought back moisture and glow to my hair. After dyeing my hair, the damage was undeniably visible. I used to have long, straight black hair …

I found this product at a beauty supply store in town. I was hoping for it to fade a small brown spot on my cheek. I had already checked with the doctor to be sure it was not anything serious, and he said it was just a “sun spot” …

One of the many products I tried out, in an attempt to combat my slight dandruff problem, is Colgate Antidandruff Shampoo.
I used this product for a few months and ultimately found it to be rather ineffective in the successful riddance of dandruff and this was rather amazing to me …

When I first heard of this item, I was intrigued. I love fragrance and I like all my hair products to smell nice, so I wondered what this offered that I could not get from a bottle of scented hair spray or just a spritz of my cologne in my …

I had gained a lot of weight and we were getting ready to go on vacation. I needed to find a way to quickly lose a few pounds. I decided to purchase a starter kit for the Alli Weight Loss System. I paid $44.99 for 60 capsules. I have …

If memory serves me right, I only paid about 70p for this Pure Antibacterial Hand Wash from Tesco’s own brand, so I was not expecting much from it, but in fact I think it is a good product and I am enjoying using it. I have tried many …

Mouth ulcers are literally a big pain in the mouth ;)
While everyone speculates why people are suffering from these mouth ulcers I am more interested in solutions. In general I would prefer the cause over the solution but in this case I’ve tried so many of the suggested things …

I am a avid shopper when it comes to skin and hair care products. The fact that I always believed that choosing the right kind of skin or hair care product always gave me the liberty to take special care of my skin and hair- right in the …

Backache and muscle pain gives me a hard time to sleep. Being tired at work and doing the house hold chores gives me this body ache. I usually experienced a body pain in the morning when I woke up. But since I found out this Extra strength Efficasent oil, …

I love the thought of using mouthwashes after every brush, so one time when I was in the airport and the sweet lady from Colgate handed out free bottle samples of the Colgate Plax Ice, I grabbed two of those and was too happy to even thank her afterward. …

When my old mattress was giving out and became painful to sleep on, I was on a budget and could not afford to replace it right away, so I tried several toppers for the mattress to see if that would get me through until I could afford a new mattress.
…

I was diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance about a year ago that causes me to exhibit some symptoms of insulin resistance. I believe that it is very important to be proactive about my health and I decided to purchase this machine in order to keep a check on …

I had the day off yesterday so I thought I would try out my new 4 Mile Super Challenge workout from the Walk Away the Pounds Express Collection. I have now officially lost track of how many of their workouts that I have tried. Safe to say …

I bought a Concept2 rowing machine last November as I didn’t want to spend an hour doing a half hour work out in the gym (travel time, changing time, shower etc.), so I thought I’d buy a machine for my house.
For those of you that haven’t seen them or …

You know how health awareness sites always inform us of the importance of including a fair amount of fiber in our daily diets? How, they say, we are better off eating whole wheat rather than white bread or rice? Well, I’m a staunch believer of the phenomenal fiber …

When I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, I was told that I might eventually benefit from low dose aspirin therapy. I was not ready to do that yet, but within the next few years, I developed a higher blood pressure and started worrying about my heart …

I have to admit to having this slight addiction to trying new multivitamins. It wasn’t until about two years that I actually even considered taking a daily vitamin at all, but I was feeling a reduction in my energy levels and was just sort of “out of it” most …

Once in a while, I just can’t sleep. Too much on my mind, wound up or nervous because of something. Sometimes I am tired but not sleepy that’s the hardest of all: my body wants to rest but just cannot slip into the blissful unconsciousness. It is …

I always loved the original Rainbath. It was a classic when I was growing up, a product that stood out as being a little bit better than the others on the shelf. It inspired trust in the Neutrogena brand. One day when I was browsing in a store, I …

I have no idea who DOESN’T suffer from sinuses but know that I do and when it gets bad, it gets very bad. One of the things that I notice about my sinuses is that it ends up swelling up my nasal membrane, which in turn causes so …

Boy am I in love with this product! I can’t believe that I haven’t heard about it earlier! Why??!?! Okay now I have tried so many different Burt’s Bees products in the past, and every single one of them accomplished their purpose, and kept me super satisfied with results. …

The opti-free contact lense solution comes in a green and white bottle and claims that it is a no-rub formula. I tried this, but the contact lense only gets dirtier and dirtier. There must be better contact lense solutions out there because even though I have began rubbing the …

I tried to lose some weight almost a year ago and since I know that sudden weight loss can cause fatty liver due to increased fats in the blood stream, I decided to take Godex carnitine orotate + vitamin B complex capsule, a medication which increases metabolism of fat …

I have lots of calluses and corns on my feet as I do a lot of walking whether running errands or just simply moving about in the house. I do not have an office job which involves sitting all day long. On the contrary, I move around all the …

Simple, practical and it works like magic. After my sister gave birth to her youngest child a year ago, she purchased this Ab Wheel (which is like a tire but with handles on it). It worked wonders on her abs, and after using it for about six months, those …

I have never been a huge fan of spending a lot of money on hair care products, but I do have to say that I love John Frieda products and am officially addicted to them. Since I started using coupons and finding deals I came across a couple of …

To begin with, this antibiotic is very effective. I first learned about it from my dermatologist. I went to her office to have my face checked up. After few minutes of diagnosis and a little pricking she gave me her prescription. The capsule has no other name except on …

I am serious of taking care of my private parts. For me this is more important than taking care of the outside. We do not know what disease or irritation we can get from using public restrooms or either on private ones. We need to be safe and protected …

The navaratna massage oil is herbal hair oil. When I had been to a herbal medical clinic (also known as ayurvedic clinic) to reduce the stress of my mind I saw the staff of that herbal medical clinic using the navaratna massage oil to massage the scalp. …

I love to use bath salts. The minerals they add to the water, like potassium and magnesium among others, replenishes my skin, muscles and nerves and helps to calm the sleep- disturbing and painful symptoms of fibromyalgia. I often use bath salts in the summer instead of heavier oily …

This little fountain was given to me as part of a “relaxation therapy kit” which included some aromatherapy, CDs to play, candles, herbal remedies and essential oils. I love all of it… but this fountain is the best. It is a small fountain, the right size to sit on …
