The McDavid Jumper’s Knee Strap is for those with jumper’s knee or Osgood-Schlatter disease, but it does NOT work. I have jumper’s knee and all the strap does is apply pressure to the swollen area of my knee, but I don’t know how that’s supposed to help, because it …

I was a bit skeptic about purchasing this cream due to the fact that I never purchased a product from BioDerma before, and I wasn’t so sure how effective it would be on my skin! But I have heard a lot about their line of products, and how they …

This is a very fancy sounding cream that is actually extremely simple. I would never have tried it if not for a friend who raved over it. She saw it on TV somewhere, and said that celebrities like Madonna and Brooke Shields used it. I was interested in it after …

Dove white beauty bar is really famous here in the Philippines. Both men and women dig this incredible soap (I know men dig it, because I had a male room mate who uses it on his face). I had heard a lot of positive feedbacks from this soap, and …

I love honey products. I am a regular user of Burt’s Bees and several other honey-themed product lines. My friends know this, so naturally I get honey themed gifts. One of them was this Greenscape organic honey moisturizer. It is much like a light body butter. It’s actually made …

I try to add fiber to my diet, to help with weight loss and aid in treating irritable bowel syndrome.
I’ve used a lot of different fiber products, and Benefiber mix is one of my favorites. The plain powder was the first product I started with, and I was so …

When I decided it was time to get healthy I found that my diet (or lack there of) was missing a few things and fiber was one of them. A friend suggested that I start using a supplement and actually suggest Benefiber. I read the label and thought it …

I also used the Stay free sanitary pads for a few months and I felt that it is very normal in usages and nothing special about it. While using stay free sanitary pads I got some rashes on my skin and I felt that these pads are having …

If you’re like me you’ve tried numerous diet/weight loss plans to lose the stubborn extra ten pounds, or you’ve made numerous promises to yourself that you would get in shape and exercise more. I have often bought exercise DVD’s in the past with good intentions, but it either never …

Parodontax Gingivitis Mouthwash comes in a sixteen point nine ounce bottle. I would purchase this mouthwash more often it wasn’t so expensive.

Even though I take good care of my oral health, brushing 2-3 times a day, flossing every day, and getting my 6 month cleanings, I still need some help with my breath. I like to chew gum or eat mints, but there are times when this is not …

This local pharmacy is a very serviceable one-stop shop for my wife and I. We use it for the majority of our prescriptions (which is very infrequent at the moment thankfully) and over the counter medicines we may need. Their selection of medicines is great considering the proximity to …

I gave birth to my kids at this state-owned maternity hospital. There are 3-4 other maternity hospitals in this country but my husband and I had only this hospital in mind because it is conveniently located from our home, about 7 kilometers or a 10 minute drive. More …

Propecia was the pill hailed by all baldies as the silver bullet against thinning hair. Unfortunately, Propecia never lived up to they hype, but it certainly is still the best weapon in combatting the process operating on the top of our heads. Propecia works by inhibiting the synthesis of …

So I started looking for a product to help …

I like to make and customize soap as a hobby. Since I have not invested the time or purchased the equipment to make cold process (lye) soap from scratch, I’ve been using melt and pour bases from Brambleberry soap supplies. I kept hearing about how wonderful re-batched or “hand …

This is just another nail cream I’ve used time and again to restore my nails’ natural strength. I got interested with this product after having tried Barielle’s fortifying nail builder which works as a strong base coat. I’ve had problems with my weak nails especially after I’ve …

When this product came on the market, I was already a loyal Loreal customer, but the ads and information on this product were so interesting that I just had to give it a try. It supposedly won lots of awards, is very true to the colors given on the …

I have a first aid kit at home and one in the car that is packed full of supplies, in hopes that I never need them, but feeling better that they are there if I do. One of the products that I have on hand are Quikclot Sport …

I actually bought this product to keep it in the bathroom at work, because the company I work for apparently doesn’t care if we have clean hands and never provides us with a decent product to use. My boss ended up just spending money out of her own pocket …

I love to use mineral salts and bath products for my nightly hot bath routine, which I perform not only to relax and sleep better, but also to treat the symptoms of fibromyalgia, such as cramps and muscular pain. The minerals help to balance the magnesium and potassium in the …

I have lower back pain off and on, and when it last struck, I went to look for my knee pillow and could not find it. I was in agony after having twisted the wrong way in the shower (sometimes it takes only the smallest things) and I needed something …

I have always had a huge problem with dry hands. No matter what I do, or how often I use lotion, my hands are always dry again within a couple of hours because I wash my hands so often. The dry, cold air does not help in the least. …

I bought this approximately for $2.30 for a 160-gram tube and overall I’m quite pleased with it; it has a 12-hour protection from bacteria buildup and it has a total whitening effect (supposedly) so this toothpaste has two good sides in one tube —“ it offers complete protection for …

Although I know of …

I’m all for having a clean mouth but the one thing I don’t like is for my mouth to burn. I have a really sensitive mouth so using just any old product isn’t good for me. I have trouble using certain things like Oasis mouth wash. I had tried …
