This is one of the thing that separates men from women–women needs to use feminine wash for their organ while men can simply use soap. It is necessary because of health purposes. The female organ is more prone to diseases and odor if not constantly cleansed. Ever since I …

I have a sleep disorder, and I take a prescription drug to treat it. However, there are times when it still doesn’t quite do the trick. Since I have been on it for many years, my body is used to it, so when there is a stressful situation or I …

I like to use natural products when I can, to avoid exposing myself to so many chemicals. Plus, I find them very interesting and unique. I tried this mouthwash because it was alcohol free, it was concentrated so it was more economical than a lot of brands, and I am …

When I purchased a Deep Steep bubble bath in the Honeydew Spearmint scent, I fell in love with the fragrance. I love spearmint, and although melon has never been a favorite, the combination was really unique and fresh. I have never known a cologne scent that was similar to it, …

I sometimes suffer with anxiety, but not seriously enough to warrant a prescription medication. I would prefer to treat it with a combination of cognitive therapy, relaxation, and perhaps natural supplements. When a friend had a serious illness recently, I was feeling very stressed and worried. To get me through …

Since I have gotten a little older I have had more facial hair than in my youth. Most of it I can easily tweeze off, but I was having trouble tweezing my upper lip and eyebrows, because of the stinging pain. I am no sissy, but the sensation would make …

I have combination skin that is dry in winter and oily and acne prone in summer. Since I have had this problem ever since my teens, I have built up a few hyper pigmented scars from blemishes. Most have faded enough that they are not visible under makeup, but I …

Sometimes I need a little boost of energy. I have fibromylagia and other conditions which can leave me feeling a bit challenged some days. I have used several methods for getting it– ranging from energy drinks to B-12 wafers to various herbs. When I started a walking plan for …

I have seen the WEN infomercials on television late at night, and was always interested in it, but was skeptical. I have not had good experiences with infomercial products.The models looked great in the ads, but I could never stay awake long enough to see the whole spiel. A friend …

I don’t have a baby, but I do like to use powder to keep dry and comfortable. Since dry powder is messy, gets all over the room and your clothes and is not good to breathe, I look for liquid versions. I have tried a couple, and I only bought …

I have been a fan of hand warmers and other self-sustaining heat pads for years. I had not tried this brand until recently, and I expected them to be as good as any I had used, since the quality between different brands has been generally consistent. I was surprised to …

This might sound silly, but this is a product that has become close to my heart. After 18 years of uncontrolled breakouts and probably $100,000 of product trials, dermatologist visits, microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing, and peels - none of which helped - I found Clean & Clear Continuous Control Acne …

I have darkish brown hair (at the moment) and have been coloring my hair for years. One of the more recent colorings left me a bit disappointed. I used a rich brown color, but wanted it to be a bit warmer, with more red than it actually turned out. Since …

I have used several of the Zum bar soaps, and loved them– so I decided to try their liquid hand soap as well. They have a lemon grass scent, and lemon grass is a favorite essential oil of mine. It has a lovely light citrus-like smell.
When Indigo …

I love to use natural products, and especially when they offer very unusual fragrances. I ordered this one out of sheer curiosity. I do not always like chocolate smells, especially not with mint. (An exception would be the mentioned combination in ice cream, but I don’t wear ice cream!)
…

I am diabetic, and always interested in ways to control my weight better. I have used products containing green tea in the past, and found that in order to take enough for the product to really work, it meant taking enough that it would keep me awake at night from …

Pre-surgery, I never worried about the scarring involved in surgical incisions, cosmetically. Post-surgery, I indeed acquired a souvenir in the form of a hypertrophic scar. A readily available topical scar gel, over the counter in drugstores, was the Dermatix Ultra scar treatment gel.
It was only a year …

When I recently made a concerted effort to switch to more natural hair products, one thing I needed in the arsenal was a frizz control serum. I have combination hair. The top of my hair is fairly healthy, but thinning. (The thinning is the reason I switched to more …

I love lip balm, especially those made with natural ingredients. Since I had tried some of Honeybee Garden’s body powder, I wanted to see how their beeswax lip balm was. The formula was great– it has beeswax, coconut oil, jojoba, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E. All of those ingredients …

I have had fibromyalgia for many years, and have tried just about every pain relief cream out there at one time or another. Most of the time, the products that work best for me fall into the category of counter-irritants. The counter-irritants contain substances like menthol, that create a warm …

I have had fairly good experience with some Ponds products recently, …

I love using various bath products for my nightly hot soak. In the summer, I tend to use lighter products like bubble bath. Taking a hot bath at night has helped my symptoms of fibromyalgia more than any other therapy. When I was looking through a natural products website, …

I recently came into the possession of an adjustable dumbbell weight set called the SportBlock. I have to say, this is one of the most useful and best dumbbells I’ve owned in a while. Not only is it extremely convenient to use (definitely more convenient than traditional dumbbells), but …

I like to buy interesting lip balms, and this was one that I actually bought more as a joke than anything. It is a “high-powered” lip balm with caffeine, taurine, and B-12. To suggest that the effects of these substances could manifest in any meaningful way through a mere lip …

My hands are aging, like the rest of me. I like to try and keep them as young looking as possible, so I keep my nails manicured and my skin exfoliated. Usually, I use whatever regular skin scrub I have in the house, but one day I was looking at …

I keep a few lip balms on hand at all times, because I have a problem with dry mouth and lips, especially in the winter but all year to some degree. I like to use natural lip balms because they do not have petrolatum, and the natural ingredients nourish my …

I was tired and in a fog from pain, so when I …

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 …

I have often taken chlorophyll tablets in the past to help with breath issues. The last time I really needed some, I found that my pills had gone out of date, so I had to find a replacement quickly. When I saw that there was a liquid chlorophyll available, I …

I have a friend in the UK who sends me care packages with products that I can’t find here (Or can’t find easily.) Soap and Glory is not a name that I have ever heard of here in the states, but apparently it is quite popular across the pond. …

My partner’s feet were hurting from prolonged standing so she picked up a tube of the Gold Bond Foot Pain cream. Had I been asked first, I could have explained that it was really no different than the scores of menthol based pain relief rubs and gels we already …

I have always thought of cold cream as being something my grandmother’s generation used. I didn’t know much about it, except that it was heavy and greasy, and as a teen I would not have dared put it on my oily face.
In recent years, I have had …

I bought this coconut oil to use in a lotion bar. I wanted to make a bar for massage that I could take with me on trips. With a solid bar, you don’t have to worry about anything spilling out into your luggage, and I was planning on using this …

I have GERD, or gastro-esophageal reflux disease. I have heartburn pretty much no matter what, unless I take my medication. I became concerned about some things I had read about the proton pump inhibitor drugs (common prescription reflux treatments, which I take) causing magnesium depletion. Since I have had …

I have taken various forms of B-12 in the past to give me energy. I take them on and off, as needed. I normally keep some sublingual B-12 so that I can get a quick boost of energy when I am tired but need to keep going. I have fibromyalgia, …

I have been taking fish oil, garlic, and fiber to control cholesterol for some time now, and it is working. When I heard that hemp oil also had the Omega 3,6, and 9 acids that were essential, I became interested. I also happened to hear that the oil is good …

Having read about Kappus soaps in an article, I bought a magnolia scented one awhile back. I was very pleased with the quality of the soap, so when I was looking at some other products and came across their goat milk soap, I decided to give it a try. The …
