I bought this shampoo because it was very different from other brands I had tried. While being sulfate free, with no petroleum products or parabens, it also has yucca root and coconut oil soap. This was interesting to me, since I love natural coconut oil and soap made from it. …

A tube of this lip balm was given to me by a friend, and when I first saw the packaging, I expected it to be run of the mill and boring– but a quick read of the ingredients convinced me otherwise. It has some of the same ingredients as a …

I have tried a few organic and natural shampoos. Some are pretty good. I expected to really like this one, but I was a bit disappointed. This was one of the first that I tried, and I chose it because it is supposed to be a volumizing shampoo. I …

I have always been a big fan and believer when it comes to tea tree oil. I use many products with the oil in them, and I buy the essential oil to use for various purposes, both health related and around the house. When I saw it was available in …

I recently had TWO horrible experiences at this Walmart Pharmacy location…
It all started with a really bad dental abscess that I needed antibiotics for. I picked this location specifically because it is close to where I reside and it would’ve been very convenient to pick up right after work. …

More than a year ago, I was invited by a friend to join the Yoga classes offered by the BodyMind WellBeing Yoga Studio. Because I love Yoga, I did not have any second thoughts about joining.
My first Yoga class was very cool! The instructor is so approachable, and the …

As a newly pregnant woman and someone who was very anxious to get pregnant, I started using the Clear Blue Easy Digital Ovulation test strips my second month trying to conceive. They are very effective and right on target.
I’ve used the non digital strips which still …

There is a spectrum of different types of body washes, and this would be on the very mainstream/non-natural end, designed for normal to oily skin and serious dirt. This body wash attracted my attention with the pretty little graphic of a splash of water depicted on its label. It …

I love natural products, and when someone turned me on to this shower wash, I was very pleased with the quality and uniqueness. This sage themed wash has no petro-chemcials, sulfates, parabens, or artificial anything. It’s not tested on animals– so it is cruelty free. What it does have …

In the world of organic and natural bubble baths, this one is a shining star. I have purchased several varieties of Deep Steep, and I was actually surprised to find that I liked the tangerine and melon scent most of all. I am not normally a big fan of melon …

After having a good experience with some of the other Aloe Life products, I decided to try their high potency multi vitamin formula. It looked really promising, with all of the nutrients included that I was already taking except for two, and blended with aloe vera and an herbal food …

When I was having a period of irritation in my “intimate” areas due to some treatment for yeast infection that backfired a bit, I went through several months where any sort of friction or contact was slightly painful. Obviously, this was not good for my love life.
Although I …

There is a lot to be said about Dr. Bronner’s soaps. I first started using the liquid castile soaps, and loved the amazingly wide array of uses for the products. When I tried this newer citrus orange bar soap, I loved it instantly. Dr. Bronner’s products are cruelty-free, fair …

I have a long term irritation problem with the powerful mint flavors they use in toothpastes and the ridiculously strong formulas of some of the “professional” types. I have never had a problem using regular Crest, other than the strong mint– but when I tried this product, it was a …

I do not like the strongly flavored toothpastes on the mainstream market. They burn my mouth and gums, and cause me to not brush as long as I really should. To solve this problem, I use either kid’s formulas or natural products which tend to have milder flavors or alternative …

I bought this buffing body wash after hearing from a friend how wonderful it was. I have some mild adult acne which normally acts up in the hot months of summer. It usually affects my face and upper body. I have remedies for my face, but I was looking …

I became interested in African black soap awhile back and even ordered some raw soap to try out. I liked it, but when I tried to make a liquid version of it from the solid, all I really made was a slushy mess– so instead I ordered this soap, based …

I became the proud owner of this lovely natural soap from Plant Life when I ordered a set of four of their twenty-seven varieties of soaps. There are all beautiful handcrafted 100% natural soaps, made with coconut oil, olive oil, palm kernel oil and soybean oil. They are fragranced …

I love the Plantlife line of cold processed soaps. They are all very gentle to the skin, lather great, and make for solid bars that last a long time. The scents are all very unique, but none are overpowering. This mountain pine scented soap uses natural essential oils for …

I love to try unusual products, and I had heard so much about how wonderful African she butter soap was that I decided to look and see how much it would cost to try it out. I found this seller on Amazon, and was able to get a pound of …

I have been a huge fan of black currant flavor and scent ever since I discovered the fruit through a black currant flavored tea. Although not as popular in the US, it is found everywhere in the UK, and it was quite enjoyable to try out the black currant products …

Although not many people discuss their tampon selections, this is a great topic to touch upon because we are all slaves to our monthly visitors and require good, solid protection. I have always wondered what the best tampon product was, and have explored liberally among the different brand names. …

I am the type of person that hates to deal with any type of cuts or even the minutest pain. On one occasion, I called myself cutting a ham, and ended up cutting my finger pretty good. I knew the cut was as little deep, considering blood started to …

I always stay in focus while working. However there are just days in which I am so tired and stress out. After a long day’s work, I always feel having an exhausting an aching body. Every time I experience this, I usually use Omega Pain Killer Liniment to massage …

I, like many women, get fed up with the symptoms associated with the onset of my monthly period. Sometimes it starts a few days before, sometimes up to a couple of weeks before the period starts. This can ruin half a month! I have been fortunate that I normally only …

When I was out shopping one day, I started my period. Fortunately, I had taken precautions since I knew it was due any time, but I did not think to bring any pain reliever with me for cramps. Some months I have hardly any cramps at all, and other months …

I bought this little hand cream as a treat along with some other items that were on sale at a local cosmetics store. I have used a few Bliss products, and though they are generally good, I do find them a bit overpriced. This is a basic, good quality hand …

I have combination skin that is rather oily in the summer and drier in winter. During the winter I prefer cream cleansers or very light cleansing, but in the summer I can tolerate something quite a bit stronger. Someone recommended I try Ole Henricksen products, and after trying one …

Walking through a natural remedies store when I was on vacation put me in the mood to have a hippie moment and buy this rub. I came across an entire shelf of Zum products. Standing near them all, I could smell the incredible rich and natural spicy scents they are …

When I was first diagnosed with diabetes, one of the indicators that something was amiss was a new tendency for me to get a yeast infection more easily. (Yeast thrive on sugar– diabetes creates high blood sugar) Eventually I was able to get myself back to normal, but for awhile …

When I was younger, I remember using the Premysn PMS product regularly. When other products caught my attention, I started trying them, and then eventually tried many alternative medicines for PMS symptoms. I had actually forgotten all about these. When I last bought a box of Excedrin menstrual symptoms …

I am one of the biggest fans of tea that I know. I love to drink the black, white and green ones– and I am interested in the health benefits of all of them, although I have to admit, as much as I wanted to love it because of its …

When I saw an elderly friend clutching a box of these cough drops, I realized I had never heard of them before, so I asked what they were. She said she used to use them years ago, and just recently her son was able to find them and have them …

I work at home taking care of my elderly mother, and I spend a lot of time with my hands in water and cleaners, chemicals, etc. In the winter especially, they can get very dry and my cuticles will crack. I have used a lot of various hand creams …

After having used one of the Gold Bond lotions and really liking it, I decided to try the body wash. I noticed that it did not have sulfates listed in the ingredients, so that is a plus for fans of natural products. It does have many other chemicals though, so …

I have been looking for a good toner that I can use year round. In the winter my skin is too dry for a lot of the astringent ones, and in summer I need something that will really get the oil off my face and not just feel cool. …

When I learned about sulfates dulling hair color and also possibly having some negative health effects, I started looking into using sulfate free shampoos more often. I ended up using both sulfate free/ natural products and mainstream ones when I needed to feel my hair was cleaner, because most …

Most people who know me are aware that I do not like the vast majority of mint flavored toothpastes on the market because they are too strong for my sensitive mouth. I normally use either children’s formulas, or natural products which have alternative flavors or whose favors tend to be …

I became interested in a little spray bottle I saw an acquaintance using. It is a spray form of vitamins. When I asked why he used a spray, he explained that the absorption rate was much better. According to him, you only get about 10 or 15 percent of …

I have a chlorine pool, and enjoy spending as much time in it as possible in the summer. This means my skin gets exposed to a lot of chlorine, and it can be both irritating and drying to the skin. I tried using some of the Triswim body wash, …

I use a lot of different bath and body products and brands, and the Thymes is definitely on my top ten list as one the best manufacturers of high quality products in this market.
I have loved just about every product they have carefully crafted, and everything about their products speaks …

I ended up with this sink set by accident, sort of. I used to have a Thymes eucalyptus sink set that was almost identical. When a friend was in a shop that sold a wide variety of their products, she remembered how much I loved that little sink set– …

I received a bottle of this Suave product as part of an in-store promotion. There were several fragrances available, and this one was different from anything I had at home– plus I had never tried it, so I gave it a shot.
It is a shame that Suave products are …

I once went through a phase where my scalp was itchy and irritated. It happened after a professional hair coloring treatment, and lasted about a month. Some chemical in the colorant must have really upset my scalp, because I had itching, flaking, and little bumps to pop up periodically. No …

When I bought this product, I was looking for something that would be very gentle to dry skin. It was winter, a time when my skin tends to be its driest, and I had been battling with various body washes which was gentler than soap, but not quite gentle enough …

I have tried all kinds of natural remedies, homeopathic, herbal and even essential oil therapies for seasonal allergies. None of them were ever effective enough to persuade me to abandon my Benadryl, which I knew would always work. When I was having a pretty rough spring with hay fever, …

Although I am not a baby, I love this wash. I first looked at it when I was shopping for some baby wipes. The bottle was a different color and looked appealing, so I picked it to see what it was. I have used Johnson’s baby products before, even the …
