I was not familiar with Aveda until trying their hair spray. My regular stylist suggested that I might like it, when I complained about not having one that would give a firm hold without making my hair stiff or sticky. I have thinning hair too, so anything that volumizes is …

I’ve had thinning hair for the last few years. I am not sure exactly what is causing it because there are many potential culprits within my body. Aging, stress, diabetes, thyroid problems, and the list goes on. My hairdresser had me to use the Nioxin system for …

I have tried both the U panty liners and the tampons, and have been very impressed– the coverage and performance is superb. I was expecting exactly the same from this pad.
The U heavy flow pads have very good absorbency. I’ve used them both on heavy and …

I was extremely impressed with the U panty liners and pads that I recently tried so I decided to try out the tampons as well. I was never a big user of Kotex before they came out with the U line. I do not wear tampons for the duration …

I have three cats, and two mice. I live in an area where there is a lot of pollen, dust, and mold. I have an older air cleaner, which I keep in the livingroom, and I have my Honeywell 17000 in my bedroom. Before I started using two …

This pillow is unlike any other. It is meant to give you back and neck support, and it does… but it also happens to be the best thing to cuddle up into to sleep at night. It is U shaped, so you have not only a pillow to …

Have you ever lost your glasses and didn’t have other glasses to find the first pair? It happens. It’s happened to me several times, especially at night, and that’s why my mom thought this product was the greatest thing since sliced bread for me. (Actually, sliced bread is not so …

I am fascinated by acupuncture and acupressure theories, and I have heard some people swear that they are amazingly effective. I am always trying to lose weight, so when I saw this ring in my mother’s Dr. Leonard catalog, I wanted to give it a try. I’m not sure …

I bought this little jar of blue analgesic in a dollar store. I had run out of Mineral Ice, which is the product it is obviously intended to imitate. Sometimes, it is blatantly obvious just how simple a product is, and how you can be fooled into overpaying amazing amounts …

I’m really not into talking about sex and condoms but I had to take the time to talk about this because I had a bad experience with this condom. I know that nothing in life is fail proof but I went in thinking that more expensive the condom is …

Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you how much I love olives. I love to eat them, I love to cook with olive oil and use it as a moisture treatment on my hands and feet. An olive bar is my idea of heaven. So when …

Azo is a company that I have trusted for years for relief of urinary tract symptoms. Being a diabetic, I am prone to get yeast overgrowth at times. I bought this product not as a treatment, but as a preventative after suffering a bad infection and having to take oral …

This brush was given to me by a friend, whose hairdresser recommended it for her hair. It is a classy looking brush with a wooden handle– and its performance is even better. This brush has a combination of synthetic and natural fibers. Part of the bristles are nylon, and …

I have long been a fan of Burt’s Bees products and I recently decided to try one of their shampoos. I was attracted to it because it contains some ingredients that I have not seen in other shampoos. It has soy amino acids, moringa seed extract (which I have …

I like to use a leave in conditioner on my thinning hair. I look for the ones that provide a volumizing effect in addition to general conditioning, and I have tried many different brands. This product from TIGI is a good one. I like the TIGI brand because …

I have been a user of Walmart’s Equate brand for years, and I have found their health and medical products to be consistently excellent. When I needed an anti inflammatory for night time use, I chose their brand of ibuprofen and diphenhydramine to help me sleep.
The price …

Have you ever seen something on the shelf and decided you wanted it just because it was so different? That’s how I ended up with a bottle of Yes to Tomatoes shower gel. With it’s slightly humorous name, the product begs for you to pick it up and see …

According to the As Seen On TV commercial, the Ab Rocket “is the total ab workout” machine. On TV this product seemed so amazing how it takes up not a lot of room and work all the different types of abs. I got it because I felt the price …

Having used Tresseme products before and not been happy with them at all, I really should have known better than to try this one, but I did it out of desperation. I had an appointment to get to and the hot water heater at my house had broken the previous …

I purchased this Tresemme product because it was a great price and I needed some general purpose shampoo for visitors that were coming for a month long stay at my home. I ended up using it myself as well because my regular shampoo had run out. …

I am a diabetic and technically I am not supposed to use an instrument like this, but I had such a bad callous that was not getting any better with filing and pumice rubbing that I took the risk and very, very carefully used this callous shaver.
I found it …

I bought a package of these because they looked like a good compromise for flossing. At the time, I was having trouble finding a floss that would work better for my close together teeth, and I had heard that interdental brushes removed far more than floss but they seemed …

I have used several peroxide based products for mouth irritations and infections, so when someone recommended this product, I thought I had “been there and done that” already, as the standard treatment with hydrogen peroxide rinses was not working for a cluster of sores that had come up in my …

I’ve tried many Listerine products and I have tried really hard to like them. Most of them, as most people are aware of, are very strong and don’t exactly taste great. Even their mint flavors are so overpowering that it is painful to use them. I am especially …

I have mixed feelings about this product. On the one hand, it does do what it claims. With the hydrogen peroxide action, it debrides mouth sores, removes particles, kills germs and cleans the mouth. I have used it several times– when I purchased it, I did not know that …

When I began having trouble with dry eyes and dry mouth, due to either diabetes or possible Sjogren’s (undiagnosed) my doctor recommended I use Biotene for dry mouth. I am very sensitive to strong mint mouthwashes and other oral products so this was my primary concern about using this …

I get bored with cleansers. I love all types, and use a great variety including anything new that’s come along. One particular day I was shopping and stopped by the soap section because I was running low on shower gels and soaps. I couldn’t really find anything …

A friend who I visited in another state introduced me to this body wash. He has very sensitive skin, but does not like having to use totally unscented products, and this product works well for him, and also the rest of his family love it. I used it …

There are several brands of cleansing bars marketed to women that have been long time favorites of mine. One of the brands near the top of my list is Caress. It has been around for years, and the quality and consistency of the brand is excellent.
I …

I purchased these for use on a vacation over seas. I needed dual voltage, and a set small enough to be portable. I only use these in the back portion of my hair, as I use a curling iron or rotating styler on the top. They did …

I suffer with dry eyes on and off, usually due to computer work and long nights. My eyes become irritable and painful and may even keep me awake at night with burning and foreign body sensations. I’ve been using Systane brand lubricant drops and have been very happy with …

I bought this dryer as a gift for an elderly friend. When she passed away, it was passed on to me. I have only ever used bonnet dryers in the salons before using this one. I rarely have the time and patience to sit under something just to …

I’ve been suffering with leg cramps due to fibromyalgia for years. When I first started having them, in my late teens, they would wake me at night with a horrendous spasm from my hip all the way down to my feet which would not want to let go. …

I absolutely love my microwave booties and mittens so when I saw this product I thought it would be awesome. It is a really good idea, being able to use a microwave pack for your back– no cords, no over heating pad to burn you, no having to stay …

Most people probably use this for a facial sauna, or at least it was their main intention for it. I actually got it because I needed steam for my nasal passages when I had a horrendous sinus infection. My nose and throat were so dry and irritated that …

This little fountain was given to me as part of a “relaxation therapy kit” which included some aromatherapy, CDs to play, candles, herbal remedies and essential oils. I love all of it… but this fountain is the best. It is a small fountain, the right size to sit on …

I can review this massager both from the receiving and the giving end. I was actually given this as a gift by my partner, who kindly wanted to be able to give me a massage for my fibromyalgia-prone muscles and general pampering. This model was chosen because it is small, …

I got this pillow to take on the plane with me for my long flight to the UK. I have fibromyalgia and often get neck and back pain when sitting for long periods. This looked like a really well made pillow, and I have seen similar ones priced …

After purchasing another brand of massaging bath pillow and being very disappointed in its performance, I decided to bravely try again. Homedics is a brand I have used before and was happy with so I was hopeful this would be a better product than the other pillow. The other …

After being dissatisfied with a bath bubble mat that was meant to mimic a hot tub, I decided to buy this bath massage pillow instead. The massage is only concentrated on the neck and upper back, but it was not loud like the bubble jet mat and was much easier …

I bought this item when I began really missing the hot tub which was installed in a home I lived in a few years ago. It was so nice for my fibromyalgia and stiff joints.
I really wanted this to provide the same sort of relaxing experience but it …

Samy products are new to me. I recently used their new hair color, Fat Foam, and liked it, so I thought I would try another of their products. This is a hair spray that supposedly volumizes. I need that as I have thinning hair and struggle with trying to create …

I have had mixed experiences with Rusk products. Some I liked really well, others I felt were not worth the price. When a friend was telling me how she handled her thinning hair issue– something we share– she mentioned this product and said I should give it a try. …

I purchased this Pantene product a few months ago. I have had pretty good experiences with their hair products before so I was expecting good performance from this deep conditioner. It comes in a pretty lavender colored plastic jar. I really like their recent update on the packaging of their …

I know most people are into taking digestive medicines and things of that nature but I find that there are other types of remedies out there that can cater to your indigestion problems. I was having some serious indigestive issues to the point where I couldn’t eat anything. Nothing …

Pain medicine is going to be a thing of the past as soon as people realize that herbal medications are the real deal. I use to think that herbal medicines weren’t about anything and personally I can’t believe that I doubted them the way that I did. The only …

Efficascent oil has been very helpful to my family for many years. I remember when I was still a little girl, whenever I get minor skin irritations, insect bites or gas pains, my mother would take a bottle of efficascent from the cabinet and after a little massage and …

It took me a long time to actually get used to the idea that I might have to take birth control. I’ve never really been a fan of birth control all because it didn’t do well with my body. I tried the pill but in the end I always …

Vitamin C is an essential part of out daily diet but a lot of times most of us don’t get enough of this vitamin. Hence, the people who don’t get out daily nutrients properly have to rely on supplements. Vitamin C supplements helps us to relieve stress, slow down …

Winter in Canada can be pretty harsh. It is even harsher if you’re one of those people who like to get in first on limited edition products or just want to be first to get the product and are willing to camp out in front of the store for …
