When I was little, I have always dreamed of having a guide dog because I am totally blind.  When I finally got up the nerve to apply for one, I was 19 years old and very skittish of flying.  So I took the closest school to me and applied …

If you are in need of dropping some pounds then chances are you probably know that you are in need of something special. As someone who is always looking to drop some pounds I have found that products are often advertised as the next great product. However, I …

I was a blissfully unemployed mother of two for almost seven years when I finally decided, because my kids were old enough to finally stay home by themselves for a few hours here and there, to hit the work force again. I live in Michigan, and jobs are far …

Okay, this review is a little embarrassing (well, more so) than my other ones due to the fact that it revolves around my inner thighs. Lately, me and a coworker have been walking about 2 miles or so after work in the park that is near our office. It’s a …

When I purchased this mouthwash, I chose it because it was the least expensive of all the others, plus it said it was “all natural”, and it contained baking soda. I use mouthwash just about every day, and I like to have one that will also whiten my …

I am a very non-immune person, and cold and cough is the first disease I catch upon. I am very afraid to gulp the tablets, so I usually take Benadryl Cough Syrup. It works fine for me. The best thing about the syrup is that it tastes fine and …

Recently, I tried Crest Pro-Health toothpaste. I’ve long been a fan of the Crest brand, though I’ve tried various other products in recent years. I still tend to go back to Crest, though. What does sometimes vary is what variety I get. In this case, …

I take a nightly hot tub bath to help ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia. To keep it interesting, I use a variety of bath bombs, bubble baths and other products. Some of my favorite products contain sea salt, which helps to add minerals and the magnesium and potassium seem to …

Palmer’s Scar Serum was recommended to me by a surgeon. I had gone through a pretty nasty accident, and had scarring on my face even after the surgery. When I was discharged from the hospital, my surgeon said to pick up Palmer’s on the way home and begin using …

I have come from a long history of very dry and itchy skin. I wouldn’t say it’s to the point of eczema, but it’s been borderline all my life, especially on my elbows and ankles. During the winter months, it gets especially awful, and the skin on my ankles …

When I can’t fall asleep at nighttime I like to use Village Naturals Sleep Therapy Mineral Shower Gel. It has a nice sweet calming chamomile lavender aroma to it that helps calm and relax my body, mind, spirit, and soul. It helps me relieve any tension and stress I …

I was talking to a friend about shaving and having ingrown hairs on my thighs afterward, especially with new razors. She recommended I try this product. When I found out how much it cost, I had to decline—“ thirty two dollars for two ounces of something to shave with? She …

After spending years in the sun and in tanning beds, I decided that I should go see a dermatologist. I ended up going to see Dr. Robert S. English, MD. I’m glad I did. I have always heard great things about …

I feel disappointed when I used Tarta soap. I never heard of Tarta soap but I was really left with no choice so I gave it a try. There were no other available soaps that time but only Tarta soap at the nearest sari-sari store at our area. I …

Bath and Body Works is one of my favorite brands of scented products. I spend tons of money at their stores at least twice a year when they have their clearance sales.
I came across a bottle of the Eucalyptus Spearmint massage oil last year, which I had not seen …

As I get older, I have begun to invest in a lot of anti-aging, or otherwise “keep healthy and youthful” types of products and health aids. One of the products I bought fairly recently (mainly in anticipation of the upcoming winter months where my skin is driest), is …

In line with our conscious effort to improve our health and wellness, we have since time immemorial turned to medicines to help us do so and one of which is Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid.
Filipinos have long been using Vitamin C. They just come in different brands (and …

I love to use a toner after I wash my face, to help minimize pores and prep my skin for the moisturizer. I also love to use on during the day just to freshen up, especially in the summer when my face is a little oilier and might break out …

The Colgate gel toothpaste is the toothpaste, which I have not liked at all. Actually I use the other brand of toothpaste to brush my teeth. But once I had been for trekking with all my friends. There we lived for 4 days in the small …

I have always trusted the Aveeno brand. I have used their oatmeal baths and body lotions and oils for years. Generally, I have liked most of the products I have tried. Since I turned forty I have noticed some fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, and sometimes my …

I was a little aprehensive at first about tampons, as they’re not as easy to use as sanitary towels, but one day I got some Tampax Compak tampons sample, and decided to try them.
They have an instructions manual in the box to help you to understand how to put …

Equate Antibacterial Soap has been a nice addition to our home. You can purchase equate products at Walmart. Some of the generic brands I do not like, and even some of the equate products are cheap and therefore unappealing to me as a useful product. However, …

This shave gel was advertised as being good for the skin because it’s supposed to not leave the skin feeling dry and instead moisturize the skin as well as reduce the number of cuts that occur while shaving. I thought this product might be good for me because I …

I used to attend boarding school for the blind and special needs. While at the school, i was introduced to Attends Diapers. Many children there had special needs which caused them to need diapers, and Attends was the brand that the school supplied.
One day, I ran out of …

I have heard the rumors that this bath oil works as a mosquito repellant. Since I had an Avon order for some other items, and it was on sale, I thought I would order some and see if the rumors are true. When I got my oil delivered, I …

The first time I saw Sunsilk Anti-Dandruff Shampoo on a television advertisement, I found it really promising. I thought this could be the best solution for my long-time problem of itchy and flaky scalp. I had this problem back when I was still a teenager. There are certain factors …

I have been looking for an easier way to whiten my teeth. The white strips and kits are expensive and make my teeth sensitive, and it is awkward to use trays and pens. I don’t want to pay for a professional treatment, and the whitening toothpastes don’t seem to give …

I can’t say that I have always been overly consistent when it comes to taking my vitamins. I took them off and on as a younger woman when I thought about it or when I was sick, but it was by no means on a set schedule. However, when …

When I saw these on the shelf for the first time, I said “No way.”
I have never liked the taste of Listerine. It’s a great product, probably kills all the germs in a ten mile radius, but unless there is a specific reason I have to use it, …

I have this fantastic pair of Croc sandals that I bought a few months ago and I love them because they have that great foam on the inside that’s so comfortable, and I’m all about comfort. And by now you’re probably already wondering what I’m blathering on about, and …

I bought this interesting product before going to visit a friend in the hospital. She had surgery, and would be in there for a week or more. I knew that it was likely that I would encounter lots of germs, since it was cold and flu season. I wanted to …

I have never gone as far as knowing what topical eye drops are there in the drugstore, besides the prescription solutions my ophthalmologist had recommended. Apart from the purpose of wearing and tending my corrective lenses, I have never found it essential to use eye drops for no …

I have used Masada brand bath salts before, for my hot baths to treat fibromyalgia. They have several varieties, and I have mostly chosen the scented ones, with the exception of buying the plain ones so I could scent them myself. Masada uses salt from the famous Dead Sea, which …

Off late I had been witnessing a severe pain in my legs and this soreness was rather making me feel quite uncomfortable and irritated. Though the pain was not of the very severe type, it made it rather difficult for me to walk rather comfortably. The fact …

A few years ago, when my weight was at it’s highest (and I wont even tell you how high it was), I went to the doctor for a check-up that had nothing at all to do with my weight, only to find out that my blood glucose levels were …

I was having problems regarding my menstrual cycle. I am always in pain and it really affects my socialization. At work, whenever I have, especially on the first day, I am rather quiet. I dislike talking because I feel that the movement of my mouth adds to the pain …

The Germ Guardian Plug-in UV-C Air Sanitizer was another one of those expensive impluse buys that I couldn’t really rationalize and, to this day, am not even entirely sure it did anything beneficial. But, I’m a sucker for strange or bizarre products that claim to be good for the …

I have always heard about Listerine Mouthwash. Strangely enough the comments have always been mixed. One set thought the product burned like the bowels of hell, others thought it was excellent. As much as people complained about the pain though, the overall feedback was the product was excellent.
I had …

This product from the ever-reliable Suave line is one that I was introduced to through someone to whom it is actually marketed for. I sometimes baby-sit the neighbor’s son, and when he comes over, he brings his little night-bag full of whatever products and toys his mom wants him …

I have always been a fan of whitening products that promises to make the skin fairer in a given and attainable timeframe, although sometimes questionable. I tend to get bored with one product that even if it works perfectly for me for the time being, I would opt to …

Off late, I noticed that the skin on my hands felt quite dull and scaly, but what really looked in bad condition were my cuticles which in fact so dry that they sometimes just cracked and caused bleeding. This situation almost made it just impossible for me to do …

Nothing beats old fashioned soap and water for cleaning hands but it is also useful to carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer all the time especially in situations where traditional hand washing becomes impractical like when you’re inside the car or the cinema. I have learned my lesson …

I take a fiber supplement to help keep the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome under control. It also helps manage my blood sugar levels and lowers cholesterol as well, and helps to keep my appetite under control so that I eat less.
I have taken a variety of …

I love to take hot baths because it helps my fibromyalgia symptoms and it’s just fun. I saw this One bath fizzer at a Target store and really liked the looks of it. It was one of those purchases that you make not because you need anything, but because …

I’m ashamed to admit that when I was a kid, I had bad breath. My mom told me to use the Forever Living Toothgel, and just a few days of using it as a toothpaste, the bad breath was gone. I think it was halitosis, I just didn’t know …

When I recently made a concerted effort to switch to more natural hair products, one thing I needed in the arsenal was a frizz control serum. I have combination hair. The top of my hair is fairly healthy, but thinning. (The thinning is the reason I switched to more …

When I saw this product I had to have it out of curiosity. I also thought it might fulfill a need for me. When I travel, I rarely bring anything but the very basic needs to save space. I never seem to have time to do my at-home …
