About two summers ago, I was outside on one of the hottest day of the year and forgot to put on some sunscreen. I know…stupid, but I really didn’t expect to be out there that long and thought it wouldn’t cause that much damage.
Oh boy. Was I ever wrong.

I bought this ‘Fitness World’ manual magnetic Treadmill approximately 5 years ago.
My whole family uses this treadmill to remain active and energetic, apart from burning those unnecessary calories.

Awhile back I purchased the Conair Dental Water Jet and was instantly filled with mixed feelings of like and dislike. The Dental Jet definitely served its purpose, it without a doubt provided me with a tool to promote dental hygiene that went far beyond basic flossing. I was able …
