I spend a lot of time in the pool every summer. I have a standard chlorine system, and although I know the exposure to all the chlorine is not good for my skin or health, I can’t really justify changing systems right now.
I have tried several different shampoos and …

I’m always open to trying therapeutic alternatives for pain relief, aside from the usual topical liniments and aromatic massage oils. It seems muscle pains get accustomed to the same pain-killing method, that it loses efficacy after long-term use. A new therapy for pain relief I discovered from …

I bought this product just for fun. I had never seen anything like it, and I had been trying out different types of deodorants, looking for one that was aluminum free, since learning of the risks associated with aluminum products.
This contained zinc ricinoleate, chamomile, potassium alum, phenoxyethanol, estratetaenol, and alcohol. …

Spearmint is one of my favorite mint smells, especially in the summer. It is a bright and refreshing fragrance …

If there’s one hand sanitizer that I wholly trust, it’s Purell. Like the most common antiseptic in the world, alcohol, I prefer gel sanitizers that have clinical formulas. Purell is most certainly a clinical sanitizer that’s well known among doctors and professionals working in hospitals, as well …

When companies come up with gimmicks like ribboned looks and layers of pretty colors in bottles– I am their target. The prettiness of it fascinates me and I will buy it every time. Usually, the product turns out to be nothing all that special, but sometimes it is impressive, and …

I sort of inherited this shampoo from a friend who has blonde hair. Or rather she had blonde hair, but decided to dye it brunette. Now that her hair is dark, she has no need for a product to bring out the gold highlights. I did not think that I …

Later, I outgrew the allergy and have since been able to tolerate cow …

I like Olay products in general, and since some of the other Olay body washes I have bought were highlky moisturizing, I assumed this one would be the same. Luscious Embrace has a strong floral smell. It is one of those scents that people will probably either love or hate …

I like to use products made by companies that do not test on animals, and Beauty Without Cruelty is certainly one of the most well known for that. I have fine hair that is thinning on top, so I like to use shampoos that volumize. This is why I chose …

I like Alba Botanica’s products, and also their commitment to cruelty free production and suppliers. I once had bought a tube of their mango shave cream, which is similar to this one, and I liked it. I loved being able to shave without having to use soap or a fluffy …

I did not realize that even toothpaste, it has separate for morning and for evening varieties. In my years of using cosmetics or makeup, I only encountered a day and night different products from moisturizers. Go Smile has a luxury toothpaste which is for day and night. I …

Just when I thought that Premiere Ultra Thin Condoms were the finest and the the closest to the real thing, I was wrong. Just like our often grouse that these artificial birth control methods provide less genital sensitivity, I always lookout for products which can provide the best feeling. I …

Time and again I give hand sanitizers a shot. But my default choice will always be rubbing alcohols. A recent scare, though nothing seriously epidemic, led me back to using alcohols again after an eye infection. I have this mannerism of rubbing my eyes while typing …

My brain really needs a boost. I’ve been mentally burned out from writing since…a long time. My mind usually zones out. If I were to self-diagnose this condition, I’m probably suffering from writer’s block, or whatever. As a writer, a word processor, and at the …

I love to buy self foaming soaps for my kitchen sink. I became addicted to them after discovering Method’s varieties, and now I have tried several other brands as well. While a lot of natural products are sulfate free and rely on coco-betaine for foaming ability, some are actually natural …

I like the Grandpa’s soaps line, and since there were a few I had a very good experience with, I decided to try out the Indian Corn soap. Being part native American myself, I could appreciate that the soap was made in honor of the maize so often associated …

I have always had really bad digestion issues and have suffered from constipation. One of the digestive supplements I have been using to improve my digestive tract is the Natures Secret Ultimate Fiber Cleanse. It comes in this huge 8 ounce container that has lasted me about 2 months …

Since pomegranate has become the super-fruit du jour, it seems to turn up in everything. When I was a child, there was a pomegranate tree in my grandmother’s back yard. I never liked the taste of the tart fruit, and I never would have imagined it would be something so …

I had become very frustrated with several blackheads on my shin that I just could not seem to get rid of. I tried squeezing, blackhead tools, scrubs, salt, everything I could think of. They just did not want to clear up. If I ever did manage to get the black …

I like to try products that are unique, so when I saw this one, I ordered it out of curiosity. Althugh I normally do not use mint flavored products because of their strong flavor, I made an exception for this one as it is more of a “natural” product, and …

When I learned that the aluminum in mainstream deodorant and antiperspirant formulas was associated with an increased risk of cancer, I became concerned. Two women in my family have had breast cancer, and I do not want to be the third. My problem with most of the natural deodorants I …

I have used several brands of lubricants for medical and personal reasons. I used KY for years, but when I learned more recently that parabens were bad and associated with hormonal effects, I started reading labels more carefully. In most cases, it would not bother me terribly if there were …

I generally like Jason’s products, and this one is no exception. It was stumbled upon by accident.

I have been taking Revicon Forte before. Revicon has a new repackage vitamin formula which is called Revicon Max. In my separate review on Revicon Forte, I laid down the reason why I liked that vitamin brand. It was mainly for its price but I was getting only a few …

Who doesn’t want whiter teeth in 2 minutes? Certainly, this product is such a tease. Apart from that, the affordable price of Paula’s Choice Brighten Up teeth whitener convinced me to spend a little of my cash. The whitening stick involves simple instructions that, in comparison …
