I have fibromyalgia, so I have tried just about every pain relief remedy out there. Most are over the counter types, that have either anti-inflammatory salicylate or menthol counter-irritant effects.
I have found the menthol types more effective, but they always come with the price of smelling strong. Although I …

Equate: Acne Medication Oily Skin Medicated Apricot Scrub did not work for me, but then again, hardly any acne medication that is readily available at the store without a prescription has ever proved to be overly effective. I did not notice a whole lot of difference after using this …

My grandmother always told me that prevention is better than cure. I don’t have major problems regarding the health of my liver, but after a friend of mine had hepatitis I understood that it’s vital to take care of my liver. Essentiale Forte by Sanofi is one of the most …

Colgate, the toothpaste company has been really busy, these days. Just look at the different kinds of toothpaste this company has in the market. You name, they’ve got it all! Lately, I found the company even foraying into sensitivity toothpaste, a niche previously owned by Sensodyne.

I wear my hair in several different styles. One day I was lazy and did not blow dry my hair after washing it, and my partner absolutely loved the look of it after it had air dried. It was the sort of wet-perm look. I wanted to recreate …

I have combination skin. In the winter it is dry, and requires much gentler care, especially where cleansers are concerned. In the summer I can get away with using whatever kind of cleanser I want to, but in the winter it has to be something very mild, and often anything …

I was very inticed by this and wanted to try it to help me lose about 15 to 20 pounds, I’ve never been one to use diet supplements but because this one is FDA approved was why I finally gave in and purchased it. It’s pretty expensive for the …

When I hop around one place to the other, it’s imperative that I stop by a convenience store and grab whatever toiletries I need. I tried Colgate’s wisp mini-toothbrushes but they weren’t so travel-friendly. They’re easy to misplace and it felt like brushing with a cutesy kiddie …

Mentisan is a an ointment that is manufactured in La Paz, Bolivia. According to a number of Bolivians I have spoken with, Mentisan is a cure-all for anything that ails you - kind of like the South American medicinal version of duct tape. On the back of the container, …

I’m not really a big fan of lozenges and cough drops but I understand there’s a need for it and sort of treat them as a necessary evil. One of the reasons I typically don’t like them is because their taste is almost always awful to me, and it …

I definitely give a thumbs up for this baby soap. I don’t only use it for my baby but it’s also great for pregnant women like me who have very sensitive skin. The label says it’s Hypoallergic and it lives up to its name. I suffered from …

I love a good body butter, and when I mentioned this to my friend who lives in the UK, she promptly went to her neighborhood Boots store to find me some of theirs. Being a fan of Boots, she was a believer in their products and now I am too. …

I never had too bad a problem with dandruff, but when I got this, I thought that I might as well see if it did anything. I had thought that it wouldn’t hurt any, if it ended up doing anything at all, then maybe it would just help make …

People such as doctors generally use carbolic soap for antibacterial purposes and health reasons. I generally do not bathe with carbolic soap though, especially because it dries out my skin even though I think that it bathes me properly.

Treadmills …

I received a small sample bottle of this from a store that was running a promotion on Tend Skin products and I was eager to give it a try because the product is supposed to help with razor burn. I dislike the redness that shows up along my upper …

Softovac Powder is my favorite laxative. I have always detested the idea of using chemical laxatives because they are harsh on stomach. I have seen my grandfather suffering because of the prolong use of chemically formulated laxatives.
Softovac is different as it is entirely prepared with herbal formulation. It …

Brushing our teeth 3 times a day is not enough to protect our teeth and gum’s from different bacteria that can invade it. We should protect our teeth and gum’s from what we eat and even those habits we have everyday.
I never use a mouth wash for many years …
