I like to use a body scrub to exfoliate in the winter, especially one with some good moisturizing oils in it. I also have fibromyalgia, and regularly use herbal and menthol remedies to massage with, as they help with the pain and cramping the illness can cause.
I have …

If you have the opportunity to join an Inches-A-Weigh gym, you really should not pass up the opportunity! I had the opportunity to work at one for a short period of time, due to the problems with the economy the owner was forced to close. We had …

I was looking for a natural sunscreen and came along Avalon Organics Lavender Moisture Plus Lotion with SPF 18 and I must say it was just what I was looking for. The lotion was rich and creamy and helped moisturize and protect my skin from the sun and dry …

I have combination, forty-something skin. I have a few fine lines and could use a little “lift.”
This looked like a good product and came recommended, so I gave it a try. It was nowhere near as expensive as some creams I had used, and since it was called “Nutritioniste” I …

I was going to visit a friend of mine for the weekend in California, and didn’t feel like packing all my huge bottles of skin care and bath and body products that I wouldn’t be without for even a single day and so decided to buy a bunch of …

I’ve been using Enervon C Multivitamins for 2 years now, however, I am not really seeing any significant effect of the supplement to my body. Since I started working in a call center, I had lost 13 lbs and still didn’t regain it. Another thing I notice about myself …

I love a good massage… who doesn’t, really, right? And, sadly, more often than not, it’s not a matter of luxury so much as it’s a matter of necessity. I managed to tweak my back and shoulder over the last (almost) two years at my job, which requires a …

I’m always trying bizarre products and have to admit I’m a little bit of a slave to the late night television informercials, and I’m always seeing some new grande product that I just have to have because I know it will work for me just like for those people …

I am a chronic dieter. Being diabetic and overweight is a bad combination for one’s health. I also have a thyroid condition, which makes it more complicated to lose weight than it is for most people. Being diabetic, I do crave sugar. Although I have been taking chromium for years, …

When I first discovered the Sonoma First Crush bubble bath, it was when I was visiting a relative and staying overnight. She knew I had a serious bath product hobby and wanted me to smell the new bubble bath she had just bought. It was the middle of winter, a …

This Pureology product was recommended by a friend. I was complaining about having thinning hair, and she claims that the product is what gives her all the amazing body she has in hers. I thought it was a bit expensive, but was willing to pay if it worked as well …

I have worn contacts for years, but in the last few years I gave them up temporarily due to eye sensitivity.
When I began waering them again, I noticed that I had a hard time getting them in and out. My nails had grown longer, and I really didn’t want to …

I tend to shy away from optometrists running their own independent practices because I feel as though they are far more expensive than chains. I do have a vision discount plan, but assumed that it would still cost less not to take advantage of it at a discount retail …

The new local grocery store down the road from my house has been hosting a sample day one time a week. And they were giving out these little packets of One a Day Vita Craves, a cute little package with two Vita Craves just enough for a day’s …

When I had my kids, one of the first things I bought was a thermometer. It is normal that any child gets a fever whether it is an indication of a cold, a sign of infection or simply as a way of indicating that the body is fighting against …

I’ve always heard of tea tree oil as a magnificent overnight solution to pimples, but I never believed it. Throughout my teen years, I’ve suffered from horrible, dreadful, and embarrassing acne. I’ve tried so many products from prescription creams, over the counter acne products, exclusive online or as seen …

Ironically, I bought this product because I was due to go on a date, and my lips were chapped. I laughed out loud at the name of the product, which although unusual, is not at all unusual for Philosophy. Although pricey, their products are generally excellent—“ so because I was …

I have a hard time swallowing pills and try to avoid it. That is one of the reasons I purchased Doctor’s Best MSM powder version, instead of a pill form. Before I purchased it I read that it can be stirred into juice or water, so I figured it …

I have always tried to keep an open mind about homeopathic medicines. In most cases, when I have tried them, they have either not worked or it was questionable whether they worked or not, but there have been cases where I felt that they really did help.
I found …

The first time I saw a stability ball, I was very intrigued. They looked like a lot of fun, and I thought that is something that I can do. I am so glad that I purchased one. There are so many great benefits to having one …

Mosquitos love me. I can walk out my door and they swarm.
I am always on the look out for a good bug repellant that has Deet, but doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily and my pores clogged up. I didn’t think one ever existed.
I saw a commercial the …

I have finally found an antacid that works great, tastes great and doesn’t make me sick to my stomach. I’ve tried so many antacids like Rolaids, Alka Seltzer and even other Tums products but they simply do not work that well, they taste terrible and they leave a …

This is a product I have mixed feelings about. I have very resistant gray hair. My hairstylist has told me this many times. To save money, a few years ago I stopped paying over a hundred dollars every time I needed my hair colored and started using store-bought hair …

Usually I am a fan of Creatine and I have tried a few great products from the company Muscletech. In saying that, I thought that their creatine would be good and would work well. This was suppose to give me more strength and some muscle mass and I ended …

My son had his first nerve-wracking wart problem last year, and I ended up buying the Dr. Scholl’s Clear Away Plantar, Salicylic Acid Wart Remover for Feet to treat it. I saw him limping, and asked him what was wrong and for a couple days he kept telling me …

I like to get a nice exfoliating scrub in the shower sometimes and there are several methods of doing that. Cleansers with abrasives or seeds added do a fairly good job, and then there are salt scrubs, and loofahs. I love loofahs but my experience with them has been …

I had a really bad bladder infection in my late teens, which left some scarring. Occasionally, my bladder symptoms flare up if I have eaten or drank something irritating, like coffee in large amounts. I have to wait a few days before I can tell if it is a real …

Public speaking always left me feeling nervous and tensed and so when I was assigned to give a speech regarding —˜parenting’ in my son’s school, I found myself at my wits end. The fact that —˜parenting’ had always been one of my favorite topics and required less preparation to …

I used feminine wash for everyday use especially when I am having my period. The purpose for using it is to stay fresh and clean. It is for girl’s or woman’s hygiene as well. The product that I always use is PH CARE 5. They do have different scent …

I bought this cushion massager at Canadian Tire six months ago. It was on sale for Canadian $19. I thought it was a good deal as I saw it on display right in front of the store’s shopping aisles. I had something similar to this when …

There are few things in life that I adore as much as the Philosophy beauty and health product line. It’s one of the most consistently delightful, insightful and powerful products out there on the market today, in my humble opinion, and I have been a fan for over a decade …

I bought the Nature Made Flaxseed vitamins because I hate taking fish oil vitamins. And, I heard they both pretty much do the same job. I bought this on sale at my local Walgreen’s for about $10 (the bottle is pretty big). I have been taking these vitamins for …

Since I am really careful about my diet, I was surprised when I started to have frequent problems with gas, heartburn, and bloating. I was taking all kinds of antacids to get rid of the embarrassing belching and burping, but it was only making my indigestion worse. I started …

Each summer I go on a hunt for the strongest sunscreen I can possibly find. I’m sure my kids think I’m being weird. Husband, their dad, is Mexican and the kids have the slight brown tint to their skin, despite my genes for pale skin. I’m use to that …

I bought Crest Whitening Strips because I read that they can whiten the teeth. For a long time, I wanted to have whiter teeth without paying a lot of money. I can’t go to a dentist because of my schedule, so when I read about Crest, I decided to …

My hairstylist once deemed me a product junkie, and decided I needed to use a clarifier shampoo about once a week or so, to get out all the products I have put in my hair trying to make it seem fuller. It was full… of junk! And this, it was …

I work in the hospital as a general physician and thus, I am exposed to a lot of pathogens. Microorganisms which are very minute, but can be very harmful to people. We have been taught that the best way of preventing simple and common transmissible diseases is through proper …
