I have fibromyalgia, so I have tried just about every pain relief remedy out there. Most are over the counter types, that have either anti-inflammatory salicylate or menthol counter-irritant effects.
I have found the menthol types more effective, but they always come with the price of smelling strong. Although I …

OK people if you haven’t heard of this ointment then listen up! This would have to be the absolute best lip ointment that I have used bar none. I have tried just about every single lip treatment out there for dry chapped lips until I found CARMEX. …

This review is for yes, a sexual lubricant. The main reason why I feel it’s necessary to post this is because it’s very hard to find any resources for such online and want to provide you, the consumer with informed information about a seemingly ‘taboo’ product.
This review is specifically …

First off, I always treat the bold claims of manufacturers with a healthy dose of cynicism. When treatments at your dentist involve chemical bleaching, or laser whitening (that’s practically science-fiction) how can a simple toothpaste make any difference? So I certainly didn’t buy this toothpaste because I want to …

I had high hopes for the Rapid White tooth whitener. It cost £30 and with its little hand held device which emits ultra violet light, it looked like a more professional option to the various toothpastes, gels and rinses I’ve tried in the past. So I paid the £30 …

Homedics Home Spa is an interesting product. I purchased the Homedics Home Spa on clearance following Christmas. Initially I was thrilled with the purchase. It cost $20.00 originally but because it was the 50% off Christmas sale I bought it for $10.00. I have problems …

Growing up, I always used manual toothbrushes, but now I only use my electric toothbrushes. The one I use now is the Sonicare Essence 5500 Power Toothbrush, and it’s one I still love madly because it gets my teeth so clean.
It’s a rechargeable toothbrush that comes with a …

I have tried some of the 100% Pure products before, like their caffeine cream, and I decided I wanted to try their seafoam facial cleanser. This has the unusual attribute of working both as a cleanser and a mask. It foams up so you can wash your face, or you …

Certain times of the year here in the hot and dry Nevada climate, I run into problems with oily skin. I have a combination skin to begin with, and you’d think the dry air here would really nip an oily problem in the bud, but there are still certain …
