I try to stick to a high protein, low carb diet during the spring and summer months when I am more active. I don’t always succeed, mainly because it’s difficult to find quality foods or meal-replacement products that are high in protein and actually taste good. Often, …

I love lip balm, and it is hard for me to pass one up if it is original and unusual, and Eos lip balm is both. It comes in an interesting sphere shaped solid balm, with a twist off top. Once I actually used it, I realized it was a …

I got these contacts about 9 months ago, to replace the 30 day lenses I was using. I needed the new contacts because the 30 day lenses were too drying.
At that time, the optometrist told me the Acuvue Oasis with Hydraclear Plus Contact Lenses were the thinnest, most …

I don’t often get sunburned, because I use sun block products regularly. I have “suspected lupus” so I take sun protection very seriously. Once in awhile I forget that wind can also be damaging, and one time in the winter I spent too much time playing in the snow and …

My review is on the Bowflex PR3000.
This machine is an excellent machine. I am 6′3″ and worried that I may be a little tall for it but, after using one in a store it felt comfortable.
It took me about 30 minutes to set mine up using 2 different size …

I am a woman, so like every other respectful woman, I hate that time of the month. With fierce passion. I get crampy, so bloated, hungry and I hate everyone around me. Beware if you’re next to me on those days. Also, I’m one of the the unfortunate ones …

I’d tried a few Hyland’s products over the last couple years and really appreciate them because they are all natural. I’d tried their Calm’s Forte formula, which is similar to the Hyland’s Insomnia, but this one is just slightly stronger. I’ve had sleeping problems for as long as I …

It´s difficult to imagine that Africa has a winter but it does. When anyone mentions Africa, the images that conjure in the mind are the heat and the wilderness. But it does and Botswana for example, is in the midst of it. The winters here are cold and …

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 have never been a big user of “night creams” because they tended to be very heavy. I have combination skin and using a heavy moisturizer overnight has been known to results in starting my day with big, nasty pimples. Although younger skin is a wonderful thing, puberty-style acne …

Most people when they think about zebra fish, it’s either like “zoo” or “as pets”. However in the next 5 or 10 years, they may change your lifestyle. What am I talking about? I’m talking about its applications in health and medical science nowadays. What do people now adays …

By far, the easiest and SAFEST way to exercise would have to be using the OxyCycle. This isn’t a typical exercise bike that you sit on. You need to supply your own chair (couch, bed, etc.) The OxyCycle is basically just motorized pedals that allow you …

There are times that money gets tight, especially when i’m waiting on payments from contracts. When I’m in a pench like this, I go with the Tena Ultra Briefs since they are less expensive than Tranquility ATN Diapers.
While Tranquility ATN Diapers is my preferred brand, this is the …

I usually don’t share my thoughts on the medicaments and supplements online, but here I found a very nice and affordable B Vitamins supplement that a lot of people might be interested in. I’m not a certified doctor and I can’t give you medical advice, so please don’t take this …

I bought a membership to the Fitness 19 gym in Fremont, CA a couple of months ago and have been working out there 2 to 3 times a week every week. The gym is a no frills gym, meaning no locker rooms, showers, pool, or …

When my doctors suspected I had lupus, part of the reason it was mentioned was because of a redness on both of my cheeks. It did not look exactly like the “butterfly” rash seen in lupus, but I guess it was close enough to give them pause since I had …

I bought two pieces of the GUM Butlerweave floss three months ago, and up to now, November 24, 2009, I haven’t even finished the first one. It was on sale, two for $6 at the local London Drugs in the London Station in Surrey, so I took advantage.
I’m …

I used to use an Oral B product that was very similar to this floss, but could no longer find it easily in stores, so when I saw this one I had to give it a try. This floss is tight when you pull it between your teeth, but then …

This hand sanitizer saved me on more than one occasion. When I was working at a payment office where we shared a phone with customers, and frequently handled their documents, everyone was always getting sick. It actually became a real problem when people would come down with the same …

When I heard my male friend raving about how wonderful his King of Shaves cream was, I wondered if they made a product for women as well. I happened to find one while I was shopping so I tried it out. I liked what I saw on the …

I have not had Advance Laser treatment for a month. Because of this, I resorted to using Maxipeel 3 Tretinoin Hydroquinone again. It is an anti-acne depigmenting agent that exfoliates skin after 2-3 days after application. I do not use it everyday, just once a week to peel the …

My twin grandchildren became very sickly before the year ends. All through the holiday season they got sick one after the other. They got feverish and could not eat well. One got acute tonsillitis while the other one had cough and colds. I blamed myself for this because I …

I dreaded anytime I catch a cold, particularly when that cold features a nasty sore throat. In the past, while sucking on a lozenger or two they never seemed to last for very long.
The sprays were even worse. I could never quite figure out how they work when you …

It was really earth friendly when I learned that this is made of natural ingredients. What I didn’t like was the smell it has. It doesn’t smell that bad, it just smelled too woodsy. I don’t mind the smell if this product is as effective as it claims to …

There are scents I like on both the Signature Collections and the Classics Collection lines at Bath & Body Works, but one of my favorites for fall, I just happened upon because of a really nice friend who gifted me a basket of various scented Bath & Body Works …

Sterol Complex can be a good product to use but the sterol complex by Universal nutrition is not the best sterol complex out there, well that’s how I feel anyways. I think that Universal nutrition needs to retest this product and make it better.
I bought the sterol complex made …

If you need a humidifier for a childs room, why not get one that is both function and fun, like the Vicks Starry Night Cool Moisture Humidifier. For about the same amount of money for a regular humidifier, you can also get a built in bedroom planetarium that the …

There’s nothing more satisfying than getting into your bed, under a cozy blanket after a long, hard day. But sometimes, no matter how exhausted you’re, you still can’t fall asleep. You toss and turn, but the sleep just doesn’t come to your house. I’ve researched that problem a lot and …

A while back, there was this one occasion when I got a really bad cold. I had a horrible cough and my chest congestion was almost unbearable. I was trying to stay away form medicines because I just take too many of them and was trying to tough this …
