I came across The Cheater’s Diet recently, and must admit I thought at first it was related to the television show of the same name. I briefly even imagined Cheater’s host Joey Greco popping up out of nowhere, and ordering you to put down the bag of …

My mouth is very sensitive to the strong mint flavors used in most of the mainstream brands of toothpastes. It is so uncomfortable for me to use them, I will often not brush long enough, which can create a serious problem with my oral hygiene routine. To remedy this, …

I care for my elderly mother, who takes a literal shoebox full of prescription medicines. Her doctors sometimes adjust her doses, but with oddly shaped pills (and many of hers are) it can be very difficult to get them split accurately. I also take a few medicines and sometimes …

After having a harrowing experience with taking a little too much fast-acting nasal spray and ending up with severe jitters and rebound congestion, I was very hesitant to try using another one. It was my pharmacist who talked me into trying this product. I have allergies and one year …

I have had problems with my urinary tract ever since I was a little girl. It seems to be an ongoing battle, and I have found myself in the emergency room too many times. Since I don’t like to imagine my kidneys shutting down one day, I try to …

I normally take some sort of supplement in the winter months to try to avoid getting all the colds and flu that go around. I’ve tried several formulas and found them to work fairly well, despite the skeptics claims. The problem came up one summer that I was not …

I’ve used a lot of bandages in my day, and especially now that I have children of my own, and teenage boys at that! If I’m not bumping into things and cutting myself shaving or some other minor catastrophe then they are sure to somehow injure themselves on a …

I bought this item as part of a Halloween costume, and ended up using it afterwards as well. It is a long, 20 inch cascade of dark brown hair, which matched my color very closely. It attaches to your own hair with a standard jaw clip. It is …

I was a little hesitant to try Colloidal Minerals, because I remember a while back watching a televsion show about a man who took Colloidal Minerals for several years straight and his skin actually turned silver. There was no other negative side-effects, so it was almost like eating a …

Okay ladies, let’s face it… we’re always looking for that easy diet. The one where we get to eat whatever we want, and we don’t have to exercise and, remarkably, every week the pounds slough off just because we’re alive and breathing! But, of course, we all know this …

I don’t really like the strong mint flavored toothpastes on the market. They burn my mouth and cause me to spend less time brushing, which is not good for my health. I prefer to use the children’s brands of toothpaste which have gentle fruit flavors, or the natural product which …

Dr. Scholl’s has been one of the trusted names in my household when it comes to feet protection and hygiene. My experience with Dr Scholl’s started way back in college. I was then really worried about corns on my feet. They were so painful that there would be …

I try to eat healthy and stay in shape, but during the winter months when it’s cold outside, it’s easy to let health and fitness slip a bit. So, as the weather began to get warmer last spring, I realized that I needed to tone up and lose …

I love this Firm Volume. I love the classic Firm videos more so than the new ones. They weren’t gimmicky. They were just classic and focused on basic weight loss moves. I think this video is my favorite because of the choreography. It makes you feel like you’re dancing …

After having spent a vacation with family and friends for about a month, I realized that my feet had started looked quite tired and dull. The skin looked quite dry and my toe nails seem to have lost their shine and luster. The fact that I always took …

I think this is the first instance in which I’ve seen a cough drop refered to as a candy. I’ve long not been a fan of cough drops because I hate the medicinal aftertaste and, sometimes, if I have the time and inclination, I’ve prefered a nice cup of …

The Bausch & Lomb Opcon-A Itching & Redness Reliever Eye Drops Two Pack was a pretty good deal, at about $10 for the both of them, when normal eye drops are about $6-7 a bottle. I figured I was saving a bit by investing in both of them, and …

When I found out Pepto Bismol came in chewables, I was so happy! I have an extremely sensitive gag reflex, and I can’t swallow liquid PB, it makes me gag (good thing I was near a sink when I tried the stuff!).
I remember when I first tried these. I …

I have been using the sugar free Halls kiwi-apple flavored cough drops. I have to say these drops taste better than any other’s I’ve tried. I was expecting the sugar free version to be worse, but they aren’t as mediciny tasting as the kind that contain sugar.
I …

Bath and Body Works is a great place, don’t get me wrong. I also love anti-bacterial hand gel, but this one brand I had to write about. The product Bath and Bodies Works made was in a small container and was clear with blue dots. It’s a cheap little …
