I got caught away from home when my period started early one month, and it happened to be an unusually heavy flow so my “emergency” pad which I kept in my purse for such an occasion was not holding up well enough. The hotel I was staying …

I had been suffering from a nasty cold that gave me sinus headaches, body chills, and nasty congestion. The only thing that seemed to help relieve my cold symptoms was the Kiss My Face Shower Gel & Foaming Bath for Cold & Flu.
This organic foaming bath had natural …

I love natural soaps and Zum has been a brand that I have greatly enjoyed. I started buying Zum soaps when I discovered them at Whole Foods. Since then I have indulged myself with a new one every time I go to this store.
The last one I …

I regularly color my long hair at home, and have been using jaw clips to keep it on top of my head while I wait for it to develop. This can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable, and I was told it wasn’t the best idea because it could cause breakage …

Oh boy lets talk about this toothpaste that my wife call herself buying because she is on this natural healthy tip. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for it and I believe that we all should take good care of ourselves but there are some things I must avoid …

I’m one of those people too lazy to wash her face with something else than water in the mornings, but one day a friend who had bought two pieces of Clinique Facial Soap decided to give one to me, and I tried it.
It looks a little like a normal …

I have combination skin that is dry in winter and oily and acne prone in summer. Since I have had this problem ever since my teens, I have built up a few hyper pigmented scars from blemishes. Most have faded enough that they are not visible under makeup, but I …

I wish I had known about this solution and its abilities a long time ago. When I went for my last annual eye appointment I ended up going to a new doctor because of insurance reasons. She fitted me for a new type of contact and I went back …

One day I went shopping and came across Joy Bathing Soap. This soap is a small bar soap but it works quite effectively like other bar soaps I have used before.
I noticed that this soap is not far much better than other soaps I have used. This soap does …

I often use the Omega clear soft lenses (a transparent one which doesn’t have certain color, so it will only show my own eyes color), but knowing that lately Omega has its own colored soft lenses attracted me to try once. Well, I didn’t say that the Omega soft …

I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a sickly person. In fact, prior to moving to Michigan, I would get a yearly flu, around September, and after a week or two I was right as rain and wouldn’t have another problem until the following September. It was like clock work. But, …

I take a nightly hot bath to treat fibromyalgia symptoms, and those close to me know I have a love of bath salts and other bath products. I use something different nearly every night so I don’t get bored. It also helps to keep my skin healthy if I add …

Catching the flu is something that we all seem to get every year, especially in winter. Unfortunately, because the flu virus changes all the time, there are no complete cures or ways to stop this illness. The flu results in symptoms such as fever, blocked nose, runny nose, coughing …

I will admit that Clinique is quite an expensive brand, but with that investment of money comes something that really works. I have used so many facial scrubs that have somewhat worked for me so it’s hard to really know what works and what doesn’t. There are thousands of …

Plasters are something that every home medical box needs to contain in abundance, and I certainly would not like ever to be without a good stock of the things. Of course major brands such as Band-Aid and Elastoplast take up a very sizeable chunk of the market, but most …

In the winter, I like to use bath bombs. Most of the ones I like contain heavy oils and butters, along with salts, foaming agents and various other ingredients. I like the way my skin feels after sing them—“ moist and luxurious. Since I take hot baths nightly to treat …

I try to add fiber to my diet, to help with weight loss and aid in treating irritable bowel syndrome.

I had wondered if I had been premature and overly harsh in critiquing the Malibu Pilates Program in general, so I moved on past the 20 Minute Malibu Pilates Makeover that I had been using with my Malibu Chair. The next workout I tried was the more …

I have always had the problem of wet hair for the past couple of years. Leaving my hair wet for an extended period of time always left me sneezing or having a severe headache. No matter how hard I tried wiping the excess water off my hair with my …

A couple of years ago, my elderly mother suffered a fall in the kitchen, and broke her ankle very badly, requiring pins and many months of physical therapy to recover. The mobility issues from the break were compounded by the fact that she already had severe neuropathy and had …

I go through fits, maybe twice a year, when I feel the need to work out on a regular basis. A couple years ago, this wouldn’t have been a problem as we had a gym in the complex where we lived that I could visit whenever I liked, and …

There are a few products that are unquestioned as leaders in the field. Chapstick is one of them. It’s one of those products that is so iconic, even when people are referring to other brands of lip balm, they often call it “chapstick” even though it is clearly not the …

This is an item I received as a gift. I am diabetic and overweight and always need to measure and count the foods I eat. I also prepare meals for my elderly mother who is on a special renal diabetic diet. This scale is a digital model that offers …

Summer is out and the rain is in. Sickness such as colds and influenza are common. To protect myself from being confined to beds, I take vitamin C every day in the form of Nutricee 500 mg Chewable Tablet. By second quarter of 2010 I changed from Potencee to …

I am sensitive to strong flavors in toothpaste, so I normally use either kids brands, or natural products which have milder flavors. Unfortunately, this leaves me high and dry if I want a whitening toothpaste that really works, since I have never found one that had anything other than …

I have a sleep disorder that causes my brain not to go into the deepest stages of sleep without some kind of help. Without any treatment, my sleep quality is poor and I wake feeling like I have not slept at all. This condition leads to my having …

I have recently changed my lifestyle drastically by becoming a vegetarian. This is drastic for me because I have been a consistent and frequent meat eater for the majority of my life. Coming from a Ukranian family, meat has always been the main dish in every meal and my …

I bought the Nutrition Now Rhino Chewable Calcium through iHerb.com, not too long ago. I will admit that the price, at $2.99, was the deciding factor. I was trying not to go much over $40, at least stay under $50, for my order. I wanted to …

I totally lost my patience two years ago regarding losing weight. One of my friend was about to get married and I am one of the bridesmaid. Of course who would want to be a bridesmaid wearing a gown with a chubby body? I believe I look like a …

I am particular with the toothpaste I used everyday. I usually want fresh mint and with a good ingredients. I’ve been looking for a toothpaste with a good fluoride ingredients to make my teeth more stronger, but of course the most important is to maintain the natural white of …

Garnier’s new Skin Renew Resurfacing 3-Way Cleanser is meant to work as a daily cleanser, an exfoliating scrub, or a 3 minute mask. Each of these uses can be accomplished by using the cleanser in a different way, so it seemed like a great way to get the …

I love the humor of the Blue Ridge Soap Shed as much as I love their well made natural soaps. I also love their genuine attempt to make a soap for every body and every need. I ordered several of their specialty soaps and found them to be very effective …

I’m a sucker for cute product names, especially those that are totally obvious, and the Stopain roll-on relief falls directly into that category. I was also pretty excited to see if it would actually work, because usually these cutesy-named products are nothing more than gimmicks. Of course, I have …

I don’t even know what the name of this product even means, but that’s okay as long as it works I guess. Smile’s is the name of the company that creates the PRID Drawing Salve. And of course I was kidding just a bit about not understanding the name. …

Since I am really enjoying all the new Yoga classes I recently discovered, it was only natural that I would gravitate towards The Yoga for Everybody: Interactive Yoga Series. I can honestly say, that out of all of the different DVD workouts that I have tried, that …

I decided to try the product, Cortiban Ultra from Boulder Labs, as a trial offer through a service I use which pays to test products and services. I figured it was just another diet pill and I probably wouldn’t benefit from it, as others have failed me in the …

I’ve used Beano tablets in the past to help with the gas from eating beans or many other vegetables and foods that cause gas. It works by providing you with an enzyme that helps you to digest the food without creating flatulence. My biggest problems seem to be with …

My magnesium levels are quite low, so whenever I have increased physical activity I can easily get cramps or the annoying muscle spasms (my eyelid can twitch like it is on drugs). This is especially true in the summer when one looses a lot of fluid and minerals by …
