I’ll admit I was really skeptical when I found the Thin Commandments Diet for sale at a local store last summer. I even imagined it was some sort of new Bible based diet that encouraged some old world figs and fast inducing fare.
Thankfully I …

Swish is a mouthwash that I have only come across at Walmart stores. There, a sixteen fluid ounce bottle retails for two dollars and forty-nine cents. The tall, slender bottle stands out amongst the other mouthwashes on the shelf and the vividness of the color of the mouthwash is …

Kroger Brand One A Day for Women is the generic multi vitamin that is made for general health and support. I would say that this multi vitamin works best for a person on a balanced diet. Basically if you only want to take 1 pill a day for all …

The main reasons why I bought this was the fact it is extremely cheap (I paid just above €5 for mine) and that I really like the colour of it.
But the purchase seems to have paid of, well I got my moneys worth.
This one is quite lightweight …

I have mild adult acne that tends to flare up based on hormone cycles. I find most acne treatments to be irritating to my skin. I read many reviews on this product before purchasing. There are more expensive professional units out there, but I didn’t want to spend a …

Aveeno has been a good brand for me, so when I saw this anti-aging system, which was very reasonably priced, I wanted to give it a try. This set consists of an exfoliating cleanser, an eye treatment, a night cream, and a daily moisturizer with spf 30. It’s sold as …

As I have only seen The Method …

I have always liked Aveeno products, so when they were on sale, I bought a couple of the body washes. One was the pomegranate and rice, which has exfoliating walnut shells and rice beads to gently scrub the skin. It is a pretty basic chemical detergent formula, with sodium lauryl …

Although I am an African American woman with medium brown skin, I have to use sunblock whenever I go out into the sun despite popular belief. This product was fairly inexpensive in my opinion, especially for a sunblock with as high of a SPF number as this one. …

I recently purchased Trimspa Hoodia Diet Pill Alternative 260 mg. The product advertises that it will work quickly to curb your appetite without side effects. I found none of these statements to be true! I was extremely dissapointed in this product.
I used Trimspa Hoodia Diet Pill Alternative …

I have two small keloid scars on my lower leg that have been there for years. I never really thought about treating them, since they did not really itch or cause any discomfort. I was watching a television show and there was a segment about silicone sheeting being used …

Axe Shower Gel Recovery Invigorating Electrolytes is an amazing product of the Uni-Lever company. Although the Axe product line is marketed to men, I as a woman, use this product every day.
Axe Shower Gel Recovery Invigorating Electrolytes lathers very well, helping to make my skin come alive. The scent …

I have been told for years by my doctors that I should always wear sun protection, because I may have a case of mild lupus. There have been several occasions where I got “stuck” in the sun, and did not have anything with me, and on one of them, I …

I have combination skin which is dry in winter but very oily in the summer. I need a light moisturizer for summer use, as the ones I use in the winter would cause breakouts. I use a lot of sun block products, and this can make it even more challenging …

A few years ago, I started noticing tiny little milia forming around my eyelids, and also little infected pores. I decided it was probably due to my not removing makeup thoroughly, as I tended to use mentholated cleaners, and had to be very careful about using them near my eyes. …

I’m not a huge fan of petrochemicals, but Vaseline is one of the brands that I will use. The reason is that I simply haven’t found something that’s more effective. A staple in my purse or backpack is Vaseline Intensive Moisture Locking Lotion, usually in the 1 fluid ounce …

I have had glycolic acid peels done in the past by Esthetician. I have problem skin, and often get ‘whiteheads’ or small white cysts on my face. A professional peel always corrected this but was terribly expensive. Then I found a great alternative at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Renew enzyme facial …

If you have ever had sciatica, you will understand the need for trying everything imaginable to get rid of that awful, mind-bending pain. I have fibromyalgia, and for some reason, we fibro patients seem to have a tendency to get it with the least provocation. I have had it twice …

For a few years now I have seen commercials for the Slimquick Diet, and although I’ve never taken their dubious claims seriously, I wondered how exactly the plan was supposed to work. When a friend of mine spotted a super sale on Slimquick diet packets, I figured …

My favorite deodorant is Dry Idea Deodorant Powder Fresh Clear. I have used this deodorant for years and will only stop using it if it is no longer available for purchase. I purchase it at the grocery store that I shop at for $4.19 for a 3 oz. bottle. …

It’s funny because I’ve heard a lot of positive reviews on this scrub, but it didn’t really pop up in my mind to actually purchase it. The funny part is that for the past few days I’ve been searching for a good scrub, that could exfoliate my skin, …

Spring Valley vitamins in my opinion are a great value for your money. At $3 to $8 a bottle you really cant beat it. I use a lot of their vitamins but my favorite is the B12 sublingual dots. They come in a small …

As I am getting older, I have noticed fine lines around my eyes and I have been actively looking for a product that can help to reduce them or slow their progression. I heard so many people talk about retinol, I finally decided to look for a product with …

I have had the worst sinus headaches ever lately. I have even taken decongestants and they have not helped relieve my congestion or headaches at all. Instead I ended up finding relief using the Aura Cacia Peppermint Essential Oil. It really opened up my sinus and relieved the pressure …

Whenever I have my period, I would usually use a feminine pad instead of a tampon. I am really paranoid in using tampons because I am afraid of toxic shock syndrome or maybe I might forget that I have a tampon on. One day when I was walking around …

One time when I was traveling, some terrible weather prevented my plane taking off, and I got stuck at the Chicago O’Hare airport. If you’ve ever been, you’ll know that it’s big, and busy. After waiting for hours, it was decided that I was not to get …

To make my home gym look a bit more professional I acquired the Technogym multifunctional treadmill and although the aim was originally just to make the home gym look more professional, I soon found that this machine is actually quite a handy piece of work.
As something of a health …

I recently made a list of all the heating pads, cold packs, pain relieving creams and ointments that I’ve used over the past two years, and the amount of items is, quite frankly, staggering. However, that also gives me the opportunity to share my experiences with these products with …

When someone we had dinner with undercooked a holiday meat dish, several people in the family got food poisoning. It was a nightmare—“ everyone vomiting and having severe cramps and diarrhea, and only one bathroom in the house! I can remember having the worse cramps ever. I thought my …

I was very unfortunate to be spending my summer locked up in the house because I had acquired varicella virus or commonly known as chicken pox. I had to stay in the house for 3 weeks because of this. The worst part of it is after I recovered from …

I recently found a wonderful site that sells eight ounce bath fizzies in over forty varieties, and I have been ordering them like crazy. Since I take a hot bath every night to relax and treat fibromyalgia symptoms, I use more bath products than anyone I know, and this site …

I purchased this conditioner the same time I purchased Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Shampoo, after seeing the great price of it. I figured if both the shampoo and conditioner are at such a low price, I might as well purchase both to get a good value! Herbal Essences …

A few months ago I suffered terribly with mouth ulcers. My whole mouth had a break out and I was in extreme pain. The first thing I would do when I woke up was apply Bonjela. In fact, I applied Bonjela to the ulcers, using a cotton bud so …

When I read about this product (from its manufacturer) I was initially very impressed—“ it seemed like a far superior product to the fish oil products I had been using, relying on a substance that comes from crustaceans and supposedly is worlds better at everything fish oil does– I …

I was informed about the Anion Lovemoon sanitary product during one of the product demos at our office.

I used and loved Ivory Soap among all the other soaps I tried, simply because it has a lot of good points. First of all, the one I’m using is the imported one made in US and not the local one. The local one feels hard on the skin and …

I became fascinated with foaming hand washes when I realized how economical they actually were. I had been under the false impression that because they were a very thin consistency, that it meant they were so watered down that it would take a lot of the product to make a …

Ok, here is one of those products that you see on the shelf and you think… seriously???
After a few blinks and a blank stare, I realized that I had actually read it right. It said Anti Monkey Butt powder. Monkey Butt. Seriously.
I think this was …
