This gentle creamy cleanser is both a good and a bad thing. It is good because it works– much like similar products made by DDF and Cetaphil, which come in a dazzling array of price ranges, the product does not dry the skin. It cleanses and removes oil and …

I became acquainted with Out of Africa products when I bought a couple of their lip balms and found the quality exceptional. I decided to try out their shea butter soap, because it has 20% shea butter, which is a very large amount– they also have 30% in the lip …

One winter day when I had been having dry skin for weeks, fighting it constantly with soap-free cleansers and bath oil and lotions– I really wanted a bubble bath. I was dying for one! I had only been using bath oils and salts because of the dry and very sensitive …

I have had a few occasions where ingrown hairs would occur after stubble grew on my thighs or armpits. This can cause little infections to form, making what looks like a pimple. I have tried a few things to prevent this, and one of those was this product– the Bliss …

I loved the feel of a Hempz lotion I once had, and so when I needed a leave in conditioner and detangler I decided to try this one. I had foolishly assumed that it would carry the same sent as the lotion had, but it did not. I did not …

I heard about this lotion from a friend who uses Bare Minerals. She said it is the best makeup base ever and leaves your skin so smooth and healthy. I thought it was a bit expensive, but I really did like what I read about it and I wanted …

Clinique has a few products that I really like, so I thought I would like their soap as well. I have combination skin which is more dry in the winter, but in the summer is quite oily and plagued by acne. I was told by a few people and sales …

I do not normally use a douche, unless there is a medical reason to do so. I have heard that it disturbs the Ph, and can complicate many conditions. The vagina is a self cleaning thing. It should take care of anything that comes up– but sometimes, there might be …

I like to use an unscented oil sometimes to make my own massage oil blends by adding my choice of essential oils to the mix.
Since recently having some good experience with the Out of Africa brand, which produces exceptional shea butter products and one of the best lip …

I’ve been pretty negligent to my feet over the Fall and Winter seasons, mostly because I’ve been wearing mostly boots and my feet have been covered to avoid the harsh cold! But since the weather has warming up here in NY, I had to purchase something to get my …

This has got to be a product sent from the Gods, that’s how great it works for me! At first I had no idea what this product was about, or what it’s purpose was until I actually went to check it out. I’ve seen a lot of raves and …

I was a bit hesitant to purchase this sunscreen because of it’s super small size of 1.4 oz, for such a large price of $30.00, I didn’t feel like I was getting a good value at all, I felt like I was being jipped! But I’ve been so tired …

I read so much about this product being such a great antioxidant for the skin, I just had to check it out! When I did a quick search for a trusted brand, I was able to find the NOW foods brand on Amazon.com selling for only $15.00, for 60 …

I focus my energies on exercise and derive relaxation mostly through recreational activities, like doing all sorts of hobbies in my spare time. I was not brought up to rely upon services of other people as a form of relaxation, such as massage, but I have nothing against …

When my grandmother was in the hospital the last time and started doing a bit better the insurance company of course has a drive behind patients being discharged. She was doing better enough to be released from the hospital, but really not well enough to come home. We …

Last year my grandmother went to the emergency room and being it was a different hospital system than normal, they had none of her medical records. Because they had none of her records, several tests had to be run and the nurses, really didn’t listen to some of …

Over the last few years my kids have begun needing glasses and I had to find someone the insurance we had would be accepted. Although I really was hesitant about using Walmart for glasses and not a regular optical company, I figured how much different than using Sears …

When I was a child, my mother would put Neosporin Antibacterial Ointment on my cuts and scrapes, and it’s probably why I’m not as scarred as I should be. These days, as a mother myself, I use it on my own child when she goes out to play …

Summer is just a few weeks away. To prepare for my family’s camping trip in May, I’ve just packed in Beach Hut Clear Spray Sunblock in my travel luggage. I got this sunblock spray from last summer and still have half bottle left. To be honest, I had a …

There are times when I can sleep early and that is very rare. After looking online about the pros and cons of using melatonin as a sleeping aid, I decided that occasionally, it’s well worth the risk. So I decided to try it. However, it’s hard to find melatonin …

Last Christmas one of my friends gave me this Organic Shampoo in a 50mL bottle. I didn’t use it at first because I do have a lot of hair problems and I wasn’t sure how this would affect my established regimen. After 3 months I decided to try it …

When needing a really good quality cuticle pusher, I decided on a Tweezerman Cuticle Pusher and Nail Cleaner, because they had a good reputation for being well made. It was a little expensive, costing me around $12 on sale, but it’s such good quality, that I know it …

I have a ReliOn Confirm Blood Glucose Monitor because I was having issues with a previous, different model, monitor. As a sufferer of hypoglycemia, I need keep track of my lows on “bad days” to see if it is my blood glucose, or something else that may be …

Yardley has always made great soaps. The classic lavender is probably everyone’s favorite, but I have used quite a few of their others and they are all nice. One that I like to use in the summer is the Lemon Verbena with shea butter. I am not a huge …

I received one can of this three pack when I took a trip with friends to the mountains. It was the first time I had been to a really high altitude, so it was a precaution to prevent me getting a headache or any other symptoms. I felt kind of …

I love Burt’s Bees and I have used a lot of their products. I like to use a toner in the summer. I have combination skin, and sometimes it is just nice to stop and freshen up during the day. A nice toner makes you feel cleaner, cooler, and often …

A friend of mine is my “weight loss buddy.” We are both trying to lose fifty pounds total before her wedding next year. We try to encourage each other and we try just about anything interesting to lose weight so long as it is safe.
I was a …

I was shopping for a nice gift for a fifteen year old girl who loves girly bath stuff (like me!) And I found a little soap set that was so perfect– I bought one for both of us.
I had never used Bubble Shack soap before, and normally I buy very …

This amazing mostly natural product is one I was introduced to at a fine private hotel. A full bottle was in the shower, in the raspberry winter scent, and I fell in love with it– abandoning my own products that I had brought for the trip.
This brand has …

When I bought some soap from Bubble Shack, I became interested in their other products. This is a company whose products are Hawaiian and all have a Hawaiian theme. They make a great array of healthy, natural products that are vegan and sulfate free, including soaps, lotions, soy candles, …

I have used Dove deodorant sticks in the past and I think they are great. I like the Secret lines of invisible deodorants, but the Dove brand seems to be really gentle on my skin and I like the last couple of fragrances I bought of theirs.
The revive …

Soltice rub has been around for many years. I have fibromyalgia so I have become a bit of an expert on pain rubs, since I have probably used most of them at least once. This older salve is one of the first I ever remember using, back in my teens …

When I developed a severe pain that started in my lower back and radiated down my leg and into my foot, I at first assumed it was my fibromyalgia playing another nasty trick. When it did not get better as soon as I expected, I started to wonder if it …

I have fibromyalgia and have used about every pain relief product out there. This one was a product I picked up because I needed something quick to use that was not in a cream or gel form. I had not planned for getting a shoulder pain while I was …

I had the opportunity to try out this very old and actually pretty unique ointment when I had an itchy insect bite and nobody could find the hydro-cortisone! My mom had some of this Blue Star in the cabinet, and didn’t even remember what she had purchased it for. I …

I’ve used Thermacare patches since they first came out. They are great for muscle aches and arthritis and yes, menstrual cramps too. I found this product on sale cheaper than I had been able to get the Thermacare brand so I thought I would give them a try. …

Friends know that I am a hippy, new-agey musician type at heart, so I was not surprised when I found this little bottle of aroma therapy oil mixture in a small gift package that was sent to me when I had a terrible cold. I love aroma therapy products. Although …

After having a harrowing experience with taking a little too much fast-acting nasal spray and ending up with severe jitters and rebound congestion, I was very hesitant to try using another one. It was my pharmacist who talked me into trying this product. I have allergies and one year …

I sometimes have allergy problems in the spring when certain pollens are out, and one year I was so stuffy I was literally having to breathe through my mouth all day. Although I took Benadryl, which was the only thing that would stop the sneezing and itchy eyes, it …

Being a fibromyalgia patient, I am familiar with most brands of pain relief rubs on the market. The nerve disorder causes pain and muscle cramps that require frequent measures to keep me functional. I’ve used regular Icy Hot in the past, and it is a good product– as good as …

I have had mixed results with Tom’s of Maine products, so when my partner brought home this soap because it smelled so nice, I worried that it would not perform well. I was wrong. To my surprise, this soap actually lathers well, cleans well and does not strip moisture from …

I’ve officially assigned this item as my office sanitizer, together with the usual amount of things I stuff inside my bag in and out of work. I carry plenty of disposable rubbish, but this Skin Protec hand sanitizer disguises itself more like a fashion accessory that you can …

I got into a silly argument over this product. I might not have tried it if not for the argument. When I was with friends at a mall, we came across this Canus line of bath products and one of my friends said she liked this one the best, …

I am a huge fan of Secret products. I use the invisible solids as my staple deodorant product. One day I was shopping, and happened to be thinking about wearing a particular sleeveless dress that would require an invisible underarm product. Although I had some invisible solid at home, …
