When I purchased a little bottle of the J. R. Watkins lemon body oil to use for a cuticle oil, I had no idea I would end up liking it well enough to seek out another fragrance in the same brand. I use massage oils quite frequently as regular massages …

When my kids were younger, I’d tried the Vicks vapor plug-in but found it wasn’t quite strong enough unless you had an electrical outlet right next to your child’s bed, so we didn’t get a whole lot of use out of them, but PediaCare was always just as much …

Earthwise Green Blends is, as it says, a blend. It has Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Alfalfa and Broccoli. I made my purchase, because I liked that it has a little bit of everything green. It has a bit of everything, but is essentially Spirulina …
