I found Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars in mixed berry flavor in the health aisle at the grocery store. I was rather interested because they looked pretty good on the package. I trust Kellogg’s foods because I have been using them for a long time and know they usually taste …

I generally do not buy wet wipes even though one of my friends seems to have a pack of one in which ever bag she is carrying that day. Well last Tuesday my friend ran out of wet wipes while we were shopping and decided to buy two packs …

Close-Up toothpaste is foamy toothpaste with mouthwash in it. The USP of this toothpaste is the use of close-Up confidence. In my experience use of close-up is a confidence booster. I feel fresh and feel good after brushing with close-up. I don’t use a separate mouthwash as it is …

I have used the Emergency Room at Northwest Medical Center on a few occasions, luckily none of them for life-threatening injuries. I say luckily, because I don’t know if I’d have made it out alive! Now, I know people are triaged according to severity of injury, and so if …

I use a fair share of dental floss, and so does my daughter. I much prefer the kind that comes as a roll of floss inside a case, but my daughter prefers floss picks. We alternate, and I buy my favorite once, then she gets to choose, …

Brussels is for me a treacherous city to walk. Let me qualify that, cities with cobblestones are not the easiest to walk on. This city has lots of streets with cobblestones and in addition, even normal streets are not the best to walk on as they are poorly maintained. …

These can be lifesavers!
I first started using earplugs when I had a room-mate who did sometimes (in stressful college times) tend to scream at nigh. It was not this particular brand but I was introduced to the beauty of a quiet night.
These particular ones I like even more because …

I was shocked to find the DermaNew Personal Microdermabrasion System in a local store last week, as I had only ever seen it online before that. Even better, it was on sale for much less than I had priced it for earlier; so I bought it on …

I have used a lot of natural deodorant products, and I would rather use them because of the links between cancer and aluminum, but the problem is that simply put, the vast majority of them just don’t work very well. When someone recommended this one, telling me that she …

Being diabetic, I use a lot of the low carb Atkins products because they do not greatly affect my blood sugar. Some of their bars are great—“ others only so-so. This one is a staple in my sweet-craving arsenal, and I buy it on a regular basis. Although …

I purchased this product at Dollar Tree. I had recently undergone a strong chemical process on my hair that left it feeling very fragile. Since my budget was limited, I was hoping that I would find a product suitable for my needs and I was very surprised …

Norforms have been on the market for years, and surprisingly there have not been many other products that emulated them. I had never used the product until a year ago. I had remembered selling them when I worked in a drugstore in my youth. One particularly funny …

This mouth rinse is sold only at Walmart, as it’s a Walmart brand. Before I started purchasing this mouth rinse, I was purchasing Plax mouth rinse, but after comparing the ingredients and the labels, I figured I’d switch to the Walmart brand since it does pretty much the exact …

I have trouble falling asleep, and often, I also have trouble staying asleep. I’ve done many things to combat this, but they rarely work. I don’t like to take sleeping pills because they make me very jittery and grouchy the next day. I’ve taken “natural” sleep aids, and many …

I have used Aveeno products before for sensitive skin and itching. I knew they were good, so why it took me so long to finally try the shaving gel, I have no idea. It was a male friend bragging about the product that inspired me to try it.
I …

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 …

No other brand beats Nutrilite’s supplements. I’ve been on them for the last 5 years and I’m glad I made the right choice. Now that I’m married and blessed with a beautiful baby girl, I still take Nutrilite’s supplements. I particularly love Nutrilite Calcium Magnesium and the reason is …

I came across the Similason’s Pink Eye Relief dropper, after using another one of their eye dropper products that helps irritated allergy eyes. I felt that after my positive experience with another product of their line, I would be just as happy at the outcome of this product as …
