When I had my …

This marks my third “uneventful” attempt at understanding the so called zinc and acne connection. I say uneventful because I’m unable to milk anything out of zinc supplements in general. The way a lot of online content peddle the positive facts about Zinc, it sounds like a …

I’ve owned this toothbrush for years and ever since after I started using it, I haven’t gotten any cavities, so it works really well. I don’t even brush my teeth three times a day, it’s more like once or twice because I always forget!
There are lots of things I …

I almost completely stooped using “plastic” pads and started using the more natural organic cotton ones.
These are quite a bit pricier than the “plastic” brands, the price averaging at twice the price of plastic ones. But it is well worth it in my opinion.
I buy the ones with …

Whenever I would think of Gold Bond powder, the original that comes in the yellow bottle, it reminded me of something an elderly person would use. Something about its mentholated odor and old fashioned looking packaging always gave me a warm memory of my grandfather—“ even though my grandfather …
