There has not been many times in my life where I thought that I needed to use exam gloves, however, you never know what life will throw at you. On one occasion, my daughter got a small burn on her leg when she ran into the iron. When I …

I know that keeping my hands clean is very important especially with all the strands of flu going around. I also know that it is fairly easy for my kids and I to get sick and want to eliminate germs as best I know how. I like using hand …

I don’t use Pantyliners all the time, but find myself needing them on occasion. I like having the extra protection, but also don’t feel that Pantyliners is something that I want to spend a lot of money on. I knew that Wal-mart always have cheap prices and took a …

Whenever I have my monthly cycle I like to feel protected, but at a very reasonable price. I have never really stuck to one brand of tampons. I enjoy being able to try different products and seeing exactly what each one has to offer. One product that I used …

I try to make time to do my feminine shopping on my own whenever possible. However, on some occasions my husband does the shopping and will pick something up for me. The last time he brought my maxi pads home, I was a little upset at his choice. It …

I think it is pretty important to most people to stay fresh. I know it is something that is always on my mind. I try to use different products to ensure that I am fresh for most of the day. One item that I have tried recently is the …

Bath and Body Works is one of my favorite brands of scented products. I spend tons of money at their stores at least twice a year when they have their clearance sales.
I came across a bottle of the Eucalyptus Spearmint massage oil last year, which I had not seen …

Neutrogena is a brand I have trusted for many years. I use their hand lotions and cleansers, even facial moisturizer– and the old classic glycerin soap which has remained unchanged for years. When I get a bout of sensitive skin that reacts to harsh detergent soaps and strong fragrances, …

I have a particular sensitivity to strong mint flavors in toothpaste. It burns my gums and tongue, and for this reason, I mostly use children’s toothpastes, or products with a milder flavor. I have found that many natural products have milder flavors as well as milder formulas. I do …

I tried this product because I had run out of my normal probiotic supplement, and it was not locally available. I found this in a health store, and I thought it looked interesting because it had not only probiotics, but various herbs and natural treatments to support the immune system …

After my dentist told me I had mild gingivitis a few years ago and it was successfully treated, I have made an extra effort to brush and floss my teeth with great care to keep it from coming back. Oral infections are found to be associated with heart …

One time when I was traveling, some terrible weather prevented my plane taking off, and I got stuck at the Chicago O’Hare airport. If you’ve ever been, you’ll know that it’s big, and busy. After waiting for hours, it was decided that I was not to get …

Oral B is a well known and trusted brand for oral care needs. I have used many of their products, and will continue to. I floss every day. I learned my lesson from a case of gingivitis, which was treated and resolved– and now I am determined it …

I experienced a severe attack of food poisoning, which although treated with antibiotics, resulted in some ongoing gastrointestinal symptoms for many months. Doctors did a battery of tests on me, but were never able to give a clear cut diagnosis. Eventually I was told that my now permanent …

When a longterm relationship failed a few years ago, it was a very difficult period in my life. I suffered anxiety, depression, and lack of sleep. I was already taking amitriptyline for sleep, which is a medication I had been on for years– not due to depression, but because …

Not wanting to miss out on anything that might help me lose weight, I had to at least try bitter orange, after hearing the claims that it could reduce appetite, give you energy and help you burn fat. I shopped around for a good price and ended up with …

I have a friend who is a fellow diabetic, who has become obsessed with stevia. He wants me to use it exclusively, because it is healthy and natural. Generally, I am all for healthy and I love natural products– but I do have taste buds, and they are not …

After my sinus infection had to be blasted with big-gun antibiotics, I knew it would be a good idea to get some acidophilus/probiotics into my system fast. In the past, this has saved me from many a miserable yeast infection and corrected drug induced diarrhea issues.
Normally I …

I am always on the lookout for new weight loss helpers, and when I saw this one I had to give it a try. I have used their other gummy products and they tasted great- so this one was a must.
It’s interesting how companies will label the …

I’ve become a connoisseur of kid’s toothpaste. My mouth is very sensitive to the strong mint flavors that mainstream regular brands usually have, so I use children’s formulas, or some natural products which tend to have milder flavors. I have purchased Oral B’s Stages toothpaste many times before, but …

Over the past several months my skin becomes very itchy and dry at nighttime because of the dry air in our home do to use using our woodstoves. One of the lotions I like to use is the Derma E Itch Relief Lotion with Tea Tree, E & Chamomile. …

I was over a friends house and I needed some body lotions for my dry itchy skin. My friend had some J.R. Watkins Lavender Hand & Body Lotion and I used it. I must say I fell in love with and went out and got some for myself. It …

If you’re anything like me, your teeth and having fresh breath are important. Unfortunately most of my own teeth have gone by the board over the years, but the few I have left I like to keep tip-top and one of my oral hygiene regimes is the mouthwash.
Morrisons (large …

I wanted to talk about this herb that I tried taking due to a few health issues. They weren’t bg health issues, more like mental and physical health issues. I have always been against the idea of taking medications for depression so I went the other direction. I took …

Berocca belongs to a new drive in marketing supplements like Red Bull- I quote Berocca’s website-”A little kick when you need it”.
A pack of Berocca gives you 20 effervescent tablets which dissolve in water to make a tropical flavour fizzy drink, perfect to wake up in the morning. …

I was extremely uncomfortable with tampons for the longest time- especially because I am I swimmer, I constantly missed practices because of my period. These were ironically the first tampons I bought, being the first kind I ever tried I didn’t know how to insert them so I thought …

I came home one day to find a very odd looking s-shaped plastic “thing” lying on my bed. My partner had bought it for me, but would not tell me what it was, and was obviously having a great deal of fun watching me try to guess. It …

When I began experiencing palpitations last year, I did lots of research into different things that might be causing them, as my doctor didn’t really have an answer, other than my heart seemed just fine. It didn’t feel just fine– it was beating way too hard, and scaring me …

I am diabetic and I would far rather use natural remedies when possible than take drugs or insulin. Although I do take oral medications, I supplement them with as many natural cures as I can so I don’t have to take as much.
One fellow diabetic was talking …

I had been taking “regular” niacin to help reduce my cholesterol without statins. When I first began taking it, I experienced the dreaded niacin flush, which can be quite uncomfortable, scary and dramatic– if you don’t already know what you are dealing with.
As I took the niacin for longer periods …

When I first decided to try OB brand tampons, I had heard from several women who greatly preferred them over other brands. According to them, they were more absorbent, smaller, easier to insert, easier to remove, easier to carry– and more comfortable to wear with no leaking and no slippage.
…

I received this as a gift from a very, very close friend. At first I thought this was a set of scented personal lubricants, since it was made by KY, the King of personal lubes.
However, only one of the small trial size bottles was a lubricant. It was the …

When I was suffering from a nerve problem in my hands due to long hours of typing, my doctor recommended this little massage ball. I was to use it several times a day, rolling it in my hands and over my forearms to help relax the muscles.
It …

I recently decided to try a few products in this line after eying them for a long time at Walmart.
The fragrances are fantastic, and this coconut one was one of my favorites. The last time I was at my hairdressers, she commented that I had a lot of split …

I’ve been a fan of Secret products for years. When I bought a nice hazelnut scented lotion and body spray set, I found that the Secret I was using at the time, which was a floral scent, didn’t match up well to the warm, cookie like scent of the …

Sometimes I buy a product that I don’t really need to fix a problem that doesn’t really exist. I guess we all fall prey to marketing. I have never really suffered from “feminine odor” problems, but since they make a deodorant spray specifically for that, and I am a …

I sometimes get gas from eating vegetables, and it can be frustrating and embarrassing as well as painful. Lately I have been trying to eat healthier and unfortunately that means adding in larger portions of foods that do cause me to get gas. In the past, I …

I bought several of the Organix line of products, after becoming enchanted with their range of nice fragrances. After trying out several of their shampoos and conditioners and finding them mediocre, and then trying a split ends treatment that was awful, I had just about given up on them. I …

When someone we had dinner with undercooked a holiday meat dish, several people in the family got food poisoning. It was a nightmare– everyone vomiting and having severe cramps and diarrhea, and only one bathroom in the house! I can remember having the worse cramps ever. I thought my …

A few years ago, before I became my mother’s live in caretaker, my mother suffered a prolonged illness after a fall, and I often stayed over to help care for her. I lived out of town, so there was a bit of driving back and forth involved, with …

When I developed a painful rash/injury under my arms, thanks to a serious dispute between my hand and a new disposable razor that occurred when a crazy feline jumped into the shower with no warning, I could not use my regular antiperspirant products at all. Even the slightest hint …

I was talking to my hairstylist the other week, and we got onto the subject of using multiple hair products at the same time. I told her I used a heat protection spray, since I often used curling irons and flatirons, and I also used a volumizing serum or …

When I saw this great idea from Bengay, I had to try it out. I have fibromyalgia and mild arthritis, so I use a lot of over the counter products for pain relief, including many rubs and balms like Bengay and its peers.
I have used Bengay for ages, …

I normally use floss picks instead of dental floss, and because I use them daily as well as whenever I feel I need to between meals, I go through quite a few of them. This has led me to purchase inexpensive ones. Some are better than others– I have …

I wear my hair in several different styles. One day I was lazy and did not blow dry my hair after washing it, and my partner absolutely loved the look of it after it had air dried. It was the sort of wet-perm look. I wanted to recreate …

I become concerned about chlorine exposure after reading an article awhile back, and when I saw these tampons labeled as chlorine-free, it hit me that I never knew chlorine was used in tampons to begin with. A quick Google search told me that the materials used in standard tampons …

When I saw this product on the shelf I nearly fell over. An enema that recommended using one every day? I thought that was a no-no. Apparently, since this one is made to cleanse the rectum, and not to relieve constipation or produce any kind of bowel movement, it’s …

I’ve been wanting to try the Organix line ever since I started seeing it on the shelves at Walmart. It is very inexpensive, and I like to use organic and natural products when I can. I would call this line a hybrid between organic and mainstream. While the …

I’ve been eying the Organix brand at Walmart every time I shop there, and I finally got around to trying a couple of their products. I like organic products, and while this is not a strictly natural product, there was enough “good stuff” in it to get my attention. …

Recently I decided to try out a few of the Organix line of products. I bought several of their shampoos and conditioners and a few other products. Since they were very inexpensive, I figured I could use what I didn’t like as shower gel or fabric softener. The …
