I have never been a fan of Cepacol lozenges. I always thought they tasted terrible. They did produce a numbing effect, but I could never make myself take them because the taste nauseated me, especially if I was already not feeling well due to a cold.
When I …

When it was time for me to pick out a new toothbrush I went to my local drugstore to see exactly what was available. I was accustom to using the toothbrushes that my dentists would give me after leaving their office and call me lazy, but I knew that …

While I have my favorite Bath & Body Works Anti-bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soaps, my daughter also has her own favorites. One that I think is just so-so, but she absolutely loves is the scent Tangelo Orange Twist. It comes in a bright orange opaque bottle with …

In this review it is my pleasure to acquaint you with a inexpensive and effective medicine I’ve found useful to counter certain certain acne.
It is called Sulfur Ointment…
Basically, I use Sulfur Ointment for spot ‘treatment’ on my pimples. Every night after washing my face with my favorite …

I honestly have no idea what makes a tampon sport. This box claimed to be sport. Now I did not buy it based on this claim because I cannot see how one tampon is more sporty than another. The box claims it is for active lifestyles …

I purchased this Pantene product a few months ago. I have had pretty good experiences with their hair products before so I was expecting good performance from this deep conditioner. It comes in a pretty lavender colored plastic jar. I really like their recent update on the packaging of their …

I believe in anti-oxidants, which is one reason I am a great lover of tea. When the African Rooibos tea first became popular, I tried very hard to like it. I know the health benefits of it are incredible, as it has an outrageously high antioxidant content. The problem …

Deodorant is one of those things I simply can’t do without. Take away my shampoo and I might complain, take away my toothpaste and I’ll probably throw a fit, but take away my deodorant and you’ll have a full scale revolt on your hands. I no longer have the …

I have fibromyalgia, and in the early days of learning to deal with this chronic pain disease, I would take lots of over the counter pain killers, like Advil and aspirin. When I discovered it was causing me stomach problems, I switched to using only acetaminophen (Tylenol). I was taking …

A few years ago, I had a problems with early stage gum disease. My gums were swollen and bled easily. After a good cleaning and scaling, my dentist recommended I use a special toothpaste and mouthwash to help heal the gums and reverse the disease. The first product I tried …

I’ll just start off by saying, don’t believe it! Now, I normally don’t jump right in to say something negative, but I can’t help it in this instance. My son had injured his ankle a few years ago. He was walking on the frozen creek by our house and …

I didn’t understand how extensive the Burt’s Bees product line really was until about a year ago. I’d see a few like little gift sets at my local grocery store, and started experimenting with these products that way, but I didn’t really know that they have a whole slew …

If you love the taste of licorice, black licorice to be exact, and you have teeth, I have the toothpaste for you. Nature’s Gate Anise Toothpaste flavor is incredibly yummy.
It is incredibly sweet but has no sugar in it. Of course that would be weird if it did …

I have a condition which causes my brain to not stay in the deepest stage of sleep for long enough periods. It is possibly the root cause of my fibromyalgia symptoms, which I have had for many years. To treat the condition, I take a drug called Elavil, which …

Read almost any consumer magazine or watch any television channel for more than a few minutes and you will probably hear something about your heart. The modern American diet is not particularly conducive to heart health, which has been a boon to the health food industry. Supplements, special diets, …

I use Imse Vimse Organic Sanitary Pads. These are an ethical alternative to disposable pads and are designed to be washed and re-used. Some people don’t like the sound of that but clothes and underwear are re-used so I’m never sure why re-usable pads freak some people …

Poor 1 1/2 cup hot water over one table spoon of powdered sage(you can get it at any grocery store or pharmacy and it costs only 99 cents). Let it stand for 1/2 and cool down. Douch yourself with this solution to treat yeast infection.
This is very effective …

Even though my experience using Suave products in the past was not very good, I still decided to try this product since I have had heard so many great things about this particular line. I have natural or chemically free African American hair and I am always looking …

I suffer with dry eyes on and off, usually due to computer work and long nights. My eyes become irritable and painful and may even keep me awake at night with burning and foreign body sensations. I’ve been using Systane brand lubricant drops and have been very happy with …

I have a friend who is constantly urging me to use more natural and green products—“ so she buys me one every week or so that she thinks I will like. (I reciprocate by cooking for her) I love this arrangement, because I love trying new things.
The …

I have fibromyalgia, and one of my best defenses against the symptoms is to employ the use of frequent massage therapy. I have the assistance of my partner to do this, and I use a variety of massage oils and lotions. One that I was given as a gift is …

The Hygienitech mattress cleaning and sanitizing process cleaned and sanitized my mattress to rid it of dust mites and other allergen producing particles. I was not sleeping due to what seemed like allergies with coughing and sneezing during the night. I sometimes felt a tickling in my throat and …

I take a nightly hot bath soak as part of my treatment for fibromyalgia. It helps to calm my nerves and muscles, and relieves night time cramps in my feet and legs. I have found this ritual to be a more effective treatment than anything the doctors have ever given …

Of late, due to my late working hours, I suddenly noticed puffiness around my eye. The dark circles appeared more prominent and my eyes which were strained looked very tired and dull. This alarmed me greatly (I almost looked like someone out of the hospital). My face appeared …

Now this was an interesting looking bandage, and I was absolutely positive it would work for me. Or rather, for my son. He had, a few years ago, fallen through some ice at the creek near our house and tripped and ended up slicing his ankle to the bone …

When I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, I was completely in a state of shock. Being a graduate of a medical course (in College), I have a brief background of the various medical conditions (including Diabetes, Cerebro Vascular Accident/Stroke, Rheumatic Diseases, Spinal Cord Injuries and more) but I …

Although I do of course know the saying “you get what you pay for” when it came to a twenty-dollar gym membership, I chose to ignore it and believe that it was just a good deal. As most gyms in New York city run around $80-$100 per month, this …

Treating my lips to a quality lip balm is something I enjoy doing during the colder months of the year. I like to use Anna Sui lip balm when I know I will be outside a lot. It is more expensive than just regular lip balms but that is …

My dad has a bad back, and he often goes to the spa to get a massage. It�s really cheap, but he doesn�t have a lot of time to go. So as a Christmas gift, I decided to give him a back massager. I saw the Panasonix EX-Tension Massager …

I never actually bought this product myself—“ but I used it for over two weeks while visiting a relative. She insisted I try it. I understand it is quite expensive. On the natural versus chemical scale, it rates in the middle, but it does have quite a …

I’m a big fan of Sensodyne toothpaste. I have been using Sensodyne’s line of anti-hypersensitivity toothpastes for a long time now and on my recent trip to Walgreens, I noticed that Sensodyne recently came out with another type of toothpaste which to …

I am a runner and had started having some pains I hadn’t had before. I had never taken any kind of extra supplements other than my regular daily vitamin, but there is history of osteoperosis and other bone and joint problems in the women in my family. I looked …

Now, I haven’t used this product myself, but my sister did, and I have to share her story, so everyone is aware of the risks of using this product.
My sister has always been relatively thin. She’s actually only recently begun experiencing any kind of weight gain, though she’s …

This little product is one of the strangest things my new agey friend has ever come up with to give me as a gift. If you have read my other reviews, she’s the one that gave me the cell phone sticker that is supposed to block radiation, and made …

A friend who was a fan of Life-Flo products talked me into buying their Hemmorrhol cream. She had never actually used it, but was a believer in everything they made. I have had a problem with hemorrhoids since my teens and have tried just about everything both over the …

I had a terrible annoying cough last month that persisted after a cold had gone. Even after I had taken all the cold medicine and felt recovered in every other way, the irritating cough and mucus persisted. I knew that I needed a decongestant to help stop the cough, …

I like to keep my back well scrubbed and exfoliated. I have had a variety of brushes, braided puffs, even loofahs on a stick—“ but this is the best I have found.
This scrubber has a soft fabric side, which is perfect for cleansing oils and dirt from …

Dealing with the time of the month can be really frustrating if you don’t have the right protection. I know that I have tried way too many maxis and tampons, but only a few do a really good job. One maxi that I thought worked pretty decently was the …

Because germs are invisible it is necessary to spray trash bins, places beneath the sink, toilet areas and even sole of your shoes. I am proactive in taking care of my health and my family’s in general. The areas that I have mentioned above are just a few of …

A few months ago, I began to experience some pretty odd physical problems that had me more than a little worried. It mostly started with a tingling in my hands, mostly my fingers. It felt like my arms had been held above my head and all the blood rushed …

I used Astring-O-Sol Concentrated Mouthwash/Gargle for long years. I started using this way back when I was still teenager and kept using it till I got married. I loved its refreshing taste and even more when it made some good improvements on its product. The latest one Astring-o-sol …

I stayed at a friend’s house when I traveled to see an event in Florida a couple of years ago. I stayed a couple of weeks. While I was there, I ran out of my mouthwash, and my friend recommended that I use hers rather than buying more, because she …

Although I am not required to check ketones in my urine, I am diabetic and sometimes I like the reassurance that I am ok if my blood sugar has gotten high for some reason.
The last time I ended up in the emergency room with an allergic reaction, I …

I am a contact lenses wearer as I don’t think glasses flatter my face shape at all. I have tried many glasses however none will make me look decent in them. I feel like a clown wearing glasses. My friends would not stop laughing when they see me in one. …

When I first heard of Cherifer syrup, I had my doubts about how well it will really work. At the same time, I was actually searching for something for my son who is now 16. Trust me there were quite a few products out there and I was going …

I had spent a few months trying to get myself into better shape, and after a 60 pound weight loss… yes 60 pounds in just five months!…. I was feeling better, but I still had a ways to go and wasn’t seeing any further weight loss happening. I plateaued …
