I know what a monster skin problem is. When my son was 3 months old he developed some kind of monster, freak “rash” on his face, even now I’m not sure what he had. No doctor helped or any remedy worked. When our son was about 5 months old …

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 …

Last month, my dad bought a Flabelos Workout Machine from OTO Bodycare. He wanted the whole of us in the family to have a healthy lifestyle, and so he bought for us a set for about $1480.

As my readers know by now, I’m on a continual quest to find things that soothe and relax my body, primarily my back and feet. This item, the Infrared Heat/Magnetic Vibrating Massager, is one I purchased for my feet.
This product is supposed to be different because it combines …

I never want to splurge so much on my female sanitary pads. In fact, the cheaper it is, the better it is for me. I would just normally use Modess or Kotex during my periods and never had any problems with these. One day, my mother bought a pack …

I tried this product from ChapStick once because it was advertised as something that would not only heal dry, cracked and otherwise damaged lips, as well as provide effective protection, but also, administer a soothing cool sensation. That sounded like something that would feel good. When my lips become …

The thing that I love about this hand sanitizer amongst all sanitizers in the market is how lovely it smells! To begin with, I am not fond of using perfumes or cologne with fruity scents but this one is absolutely an exception. The smell of this hand …

Quite big words for something in a small bottle.
Well from …

I got my early Christmas gift yesterday! I have been wanting a Wii Fit ever since I saw it on television and internet. I just hate the fact that it is very hard to find one. And Ebay sellers sell a $90 worth piece for double the …

Exercise is important in helping anyone to lose weight, but a lof of people are not into it because it is boring, and besides it is tiring. It can also be frustrating if, after a few sessions, the weight isn’t going down.
I bought Turbo Jam out of curiosity …

I had tried just about every toothpaste that said it could whiten teeth, and never had much results. I saw the comercials for the Crest Whitening Strips, and thought “Why not?”. These strips really do the job! After just one week of using these strips once …

I recently picked this shower gel up a few weeks ago while shopping in Bath and Body Works. At the time, I really was not looking for anything in particular. While browsing through the store, I noticed that some of their shower gels were on sale and …

I love to take a hot bath at night before bed. It helps me feel calm and sleep better, soothing the muscle aches that come with fibromyalgia as well as everyday stress. I’ve used lots of different brands of bath fizzies and bombs. When I lived close to the …

One of the money beauty products that my brother and sister-in-law gave me was VSIP (Very Sexy Important Person) A-list Body Bronzer. Initially I didn’t use it because as Asian, I have a chocolate or brown-like complexion. I thought it would make my skin darker or have that cakey …

When I moved house I registered with the Moorcroft Medical Centre in Botteslow Street and I have been with them for about nine years now. Prior to that I was with a different doctors surgery in a different area so I can compare the two and I am …

Everybody knows how hard it is to get off eye make-up, especially eye liner. I don’t know why it’s so hard, but I know times that I have washed my face to remove make-up and then three days later, you can still see traces of my eye make-up. It’s …

I like to use a skin cleansing wipe for extra hygiene in the bathroom. When I was suffering from a yeast infection, the wipes I had at home, which were a fragranced, mainstream brand, were burning me like crazy. It was just because of the infection. They had never bothered …

When Neutrogena came up with a continuous spray product that had “Helioplex” which was their own UVA/UVB stable protection blend, Banana Boat did not waste any time coming up with their own “AvoTriplex” name for the same sort of photo-stable protection. I had to laugh a bit. Companies always …

I like to keep oregano oil around the house ever since I read about how beneficial it is. It helps to treat conditions like respiratory problems, sinus problems, skin rashes, digestive issues and joint problems and helps enhance the immune system. I chiefly use it, though, for emergency …

I’ve had a few failed self-tanning experiences over the years that I’m embarassed to admit didn’t go as planned. When I was in high school, I made the mistake of using my mother’s self-tanning lotion that she used, but she also worked at a tanning salon and was very …

I suffer with dry mouth sometimes, due to multiple causes, including medication, and weather.

My dentist had …

I find myself getting sick multiple times a year. It seems that I get sick more than the usual person and I am always trying a new medicine. Instead of waiting to take medicine once I am already sick, I thought it would be better if I just starting …

The One Touch brand Ultra Mini is a Blood Glucost Monitoring System. I’ve been using it for 3 months to monitor my blood-sugars for gestational diabetes. It’s quick and easy. I’m sure with a little help a 4 year old could master this device. The only problem I’ve run …

Like many people, I sometimes have a lot of stress in my life. Especially now with financial concerns, we could all use a little relaxation. That’s not always easy to do, and the temptation to take a prescription medicine to help with stress is definitely there. I have used …

One morning I woke up with two horrible canker sores in my mouth, one was just inside my lip and the other one was underneath my tongue! I don’t get canker sores very often and so I didn’t have any medicine at home. But these were so …

Ever since I learned about the aluminum in most antiperspirant
products causing an increased cancer risk, I have been looking for a
natural alternative. I have found a few that work moderately well,
but none that are good enough to replace the standard mainstream
products I have been using for years, like Secret.
…

When I was pregnant with my son, I wanted to take some prenatal vitamins. The first couple of months of my pregnancy the doctor did not offer me any prenatal vitamins. When I asked the nurse about it, she said they don’t like to prescribe them because they just …

I’ve been always using the same vitamin complex, and never thought to switch to anything else or do add other vitamins to my ratio. I am not fond of swallowing great amount of pills.
My best friend simply forced me into buying Olay B-stress Defense. Nevertheless I did not take …

I color my hair at hone, much to the dismay of my hairstylist who had to admit that I did a pretty good job of it. Despite her bitterness that I insisted on saving that money, she did recommend a few products for me to use that I have greatly …

It’s very convenient to have an antiseptic mouthwash particularly at night time when I do a little bit of binge snacking. Rinsing with Listerine mouthwash keeps me feeling clean without having to do it as a chore like toothbrushing. Basically, this night time ritual ends my …

For my latest workout, I thought I’d try out the 40 minute Firm Cardio Party. This workout contains 5 individual segments, and features many of their master instructor’s favorite moves. If you have done other Firm workouts, you may be familiar with many of the moves. While I may …

I don’t like tampons very much, so I buy Maxi pads. I haven’t seen many reviews for Maxi pads or tampons, which is frustrating, because they are products that almost every woman must use on a monthly basis. Why do we just blindly buy
whatever is on the shelf, or …
