Walgreen’s Solid Deodorant
This deodorant is just awful! I bought it because I believed it would be the equivalent to the Secret brand deodorant that I love so much and use on a regular basis. I went to Walgreen’s to purchase my favorite brand, Secret, when they were out of …

Recently a friend of mine treated me to a French manicure at her favorite salon. While I enjoyed the treatment, I was somewhat embarrassed by the terrible condition of my nails after my old polish was removed.

Lux Suave Bouquet of Dreams White Toilet Soap
One brand of soap that I usually prefer to bathe with is a brand of bath soap called “Lux”. This is because I have discovered over the years that Lux neither dries out my skin too much, nor takes too long to wash off especially when I’m in a …
Walgreens Nasal Decongestant Vapor Inhaler
This is another great product by Walgreens. Not only does it do the job you need it to do, but it’s probably one of the cheapest nasal inhalers you’re going to find at less than $4 each. I have allergies year round and nasal inhalers are one of the …
Johnsons 24 Hour Moisturizer
As a person with dry skin ,I have tried many different lotions and creams. None have actually appealed to my sense of smell and softened my skin at the same time. This lotion makes my skin smooth and baby soft . I like that this product smells good and …
Irish Spring Bar Soap by Colgate/Palmolive
I remember the funny old irish Spring ads from the 1970’s with their tag line—“ “fresh and clean as a whistle.”
I used Irish Spring back then (I was a kid then!) and I occasionally buy it now just to relive the memory.
It is a nice, unique, fresh smelling soap. It …

The 5×5 exercise method
I came across the 5×5 method because I want to increase my strength after getting beaten at by a bunch of college ball players in a pick-up game. I realized that I was so sick I couldn’t defend those guys in the post.
To sum the 5×5 method up, …
Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa Honey Loquat Sore Throat and Cough Syrup 10 oz
I’ve always been interested in traditional Chinese medicine. When my brother sent me some throat lozenges from his travels, I loved them—“ just as much for the “exotic” factor as for the fact that they worked. When a friend of mine, a singer, mentioned using this product when his …
Peppermint & Lavender Eye Pillow
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 …

There were no instructions but …
eos Lip Balm Sphere
Lip balms have always been my favorite fashion accessory and I had loads of them (with different flavors) all over the place. In fact I husband even jokes about it saying that I could easily open up a store of lip balms with my collection. But still I if …
Equate Brand Sleep-Aid Liquid Caps
Who of us hasn’t had trouble sleeping once in awhile? When you do have problems it can be aggravating to say the least. For whatever reason, we can choose to either go to our family doctor or look for something over-the-counter.
That is how I ended up buying the Equate …
Altus Athletic Waist Trimmer
Altus Athletic Waist Trimmer was worth $13 when I bought it online. Like many others I bought before, it is pretty comfortable. I think it is more comfortable than the others I bought before, and it was not as thick as others, making it pretty lightweight and wearable anywhere …

Band-Aid Bandages, 80 Count Assorted, Sheer
I’ve used almost all of the adhesive bandage brands, but out of all of them, I still think none compare to Band-Aid brand. There are so many varieties out there as well, which pretty much cover any site of a wound. I keep a few first aid …
Crest Classic 3-D White Strips
Despite the fact that it can be dangerous for the enamel, I do whiten my teeth from time to time. However, I usually use toothpaste as opposed to the white strips because of the cost. I really did not want to pay expensive prices to try whitening strips that …
Jungle Formula Bite and Sting Relief Spray

I have a friend in England who sends me little care packages with products that I might like from over there. In one, I got a bottle of Boots Chemist’s Original bath Foam. Boot’s is quite a famous chemist (what we in the states would call a drug store …
AquaBella Large Mesh Back Scrubber 11″
I decided to replace my back scrubber loofah with this braided pouf-like scrubber. There are some definite pros and cons with the item.
On the “pro” side, it is inexpensive. It does not mildew easily—“ it drains really well if you hang it, and since the width of it …

I’ve said before that I’m always eager to find something that will massage my body simply but soothingly. One of the products I’ve purchased was the Homedics Lady Bug Personal Massager, Designer Series. Specifically, the model I have is PM-8.
I actually really love this little Lady Bug. …

I do the Winsor Pilates Body slimming workout about three times a week and I love it! This is a low impact workout that stresses precise movements rather that erratic repetitions. The workout has one woman directing the workout and explaining what to do and two women …
Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
Because I was so impressed by Cetaphil’s daily moisturizer and their antibacterial soap, yesterday when I ran out of my daily cleanser, I decided to go by Wal-Mart and get their daily facial cleanser. I think the reason why I have been so impressed with Cetaphil products is because they …
Wisdom Mint Waxed Dental Tape
In recent years I have been paying a lot more attention to looking after my gums, as I did not start flossing etc until I had already noticed some gum problems. I realize now that it is vitally important to include some kind of cleaning system for the …
PurAdvantage Carbs Away — 90 Softgels
Since I am diabetic, a friend of mine thought I might benefit from this brand carb blocker, that they have used supposedly with success– it is supposed to stop the digestion of starches by neutralizing alpha amalase, an enzyme which is used to digest starches. I still really do not …
Hewley’s Saw Palmetto Conditioner 250 ml
I have thinning hair, and when I found the Hewley’s shampoo product on Amazon, I decided to try it and see if it would work. Since it is designed to work with this product, the Saw Palmetto conditioner, I bought this one too. Since I do not know …

I love the Buf Puff Facial Sponge. I have been using the Buf Puff Facial Sponge for many years. I have also tried imitations that were more expensive, thinking that they were going to work better than the original Buf Puff. Nothing works like the original. …
Instant Arm Lift Transparent Lifting Strips 2 sets
Have you ever seen something on a television ad, ordered it, and then felt so stupid and embarrassed that you hoped no one ever found out? Let me spare you the pain I endured. Do NOT order the Instant Arm Lift strips.
They are a complete and total rip off. …

Walgreens Medicated Vaporizing Chest Rub
When I’m sick, I really do love that kind of mentholated smell that’s pretty prevelant in medicated chest rubs. It helps to clear up the sinuses pretty effectively, and I like that those kinds of products are safe for my kids to use too, and I don’t feel like …
Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose
So gals, if you’re like me, the ban of your existence is not just dry skin or acne or heaven forbid, the dreaded bloating that occurs every single mouth like a running joke, but it’s when you’re faced with cracked and horrendously dry lips. I’m talking the kind that makes …
Brambleberry Castile Liquid Soap Paste 2 lb
