The hot summer months often left me feeling sweaty and sticky all day long. This is why it became important for me to use products that would help keep me fresh and odor free during the hot season. One of such product which I truly loved was Purederm refreshing …

I fell for a sales pitch and ended up spending a lot of money for this product. I have combination skin, with seasonal differences. In the winter, I have dry areas that really need a heavier moisturizer and I can only use cream-based cleansers and not soap or foaming cleansers …

I’m not sure I can even express how much I love this product. I was talking to some friends of mine about getting healthy and we’d all sort of made a pact to start eating right and get all our fruits and vegetables in, but all the while I …

This toothbrush does not stop at just looking beautiful, it actually cleans pretty well too. The contours on the handle make for easy gripping and the head looks perfect and flexible. This is my first experience with a powered toothbrush and I must admit I found it very comfortable …

The muscle building milkshake by SixStar was crap and it was so gross and disgusting and I am saying this right now that I am not a fan of this garbage for so many reasons and the main reason would be that this stuff did not work for me …

Welcome to the cold, flu, sinus and allergy season. I have sinus problems year-round, actually, but winter weather only makes the problem worse. Even when I take over-the-counter medicine, the cold and the damp wreck my sinuses.
Cleanup duties are necessary. Lately, I’ve been blowing my nose at least two, …

I have fibromyalgia, and I have used a wide variety of topical pain medications. Most of them are counter-irritant, meaning that they don’t actually treat the source of the pain directly, but rather they make a distraction for the brain by creating another sensation to take the place of the …

The Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush with Sanitizer isn’t my favorite toothbrush but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work well on my teeth. The only reason why I’m not all that intrigued by the toothbrush is because it’s electric and when it comes to electric items, you …
