I have been completely hooked on home Microdermabrasion treatments ever since I learned the many anti-aging benefits manual exfoliation has to offer. Whether I want to rev up circulation and speed up the transfer of nutrients, help peel away dull surface cells, or simply improve skin texture …

I’m not sure what it is about the idea of milk proteins on your skin that is so appealing. Maybe it reminds me of creaminess and a soft texture. I must not be the only one who likes the sound of it, as Skin Milk has a whole line of …

I hate to swallow pills, so when I find alternatives, I try them. I take a daily multivitamin, and those tend to be large pills. I have used gummy vitamins, and chewable orange flavored ones—“ even liquid supplements that you mix with a drink. When I saw these from …

I’ve become a connoisseur of kid’s toothpaste. My mouth is very sensitive to the strong mint flavors that mainstream regular brands usually have, so I use children’s formulas, or some natural products which tend to have milder flavors. I have purchased Oral B’s Stages toothpaste many times before, but …

I have a mini pharmacy of back and neck patches, heating pads, cooling packs, back belts, ankle braces. You name it, and I can probably supply you with a product that will help on some level or another. It’s a sad and pathetic thing to admit to, but I …

Last week during one of those casual trips to the market down the lane, I happened to set my eyes on this product called Peppermint & Lavender Eye Pillow. This product looked like any other eye mask I had previously used, but the only difference was that this mask …

Age happens. I have to put it bluntly because it is the truth. One big problem many of us face as we get older is joint aches and pains. The sorts of pains that are the warning signs of arthritis. At the same time it is confusing because we …

I shopped a bit after dropping by the Watsons store for some essential toiletries. It’s rather daunting to roam around public places these days because the chances of contracting sore eyes are quite high. To be out and about without a sanitizer makes me feel vulnerable. …
