St. Ives is a good company that I remember from the early eighties when I used to try out their lotions and shampoos. I have lost a good bit of weight in the past year, and with my being in my early forties, my skin has shown some reluctance to …

I’ve had skin care issues all my life and, unfortunately, sometimes its less a matter of treating it and more a matter of just dealing with it. Though, as I’ve gotten older, it’s hardly as severe as it used to be in my youth, it’s still an embarassing problem, …

When I was shopping in a store that carried a variety of interesting and rarely seen or older health products, I came across an interesting, pretty little bottle of oil called “White Flower analgesic balm.” It was less than an ounce, and looked to be of Chinese or other …

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.

The last time I was shopping at Kmart, I saw this product and decided to try it just because it was one I have never tried. I am diabetic, and I have tried most every artificial sweetener out there. I was a fan of aspartame before sucralose came along. After …

Regular Suave Shampoo is what I usually use to wash my hair with. I decided to give the Suave Professional 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner a try. I purchased the shampoo at the grocery store for $3.00 for a 32 oz. bottle. That was an excellent price for such a …

These can be lifesavers!

These particular ones I like even more because …

I sometimes babysit a young man whose mother leaves town a lot for business. This poor little guy gets more colds and sinus infections than I have ever seen. About half the time I babysit him, he is sick. His mother is very good about bringing all the …

This unusual product is a soap that does not lather. LaLicious is probably the only “soap” I have ever used that does not lather at all. It is more like a cream cleanser. (In fact, I do not know why they call it soap.) This attracted me because of its …

I have to admit that I’m kind of a sucker for trying out products that have cute packaging or creative (or even goofy) sounding names. This was one of those wierd spur-of-the-moment kind of purchases, when I decided to get the Bye Bye Blemish Drying Lotion. Immediately I thought …

The acne on my face was soon becoming an on and off affair. Although they seemed to appear quickly- making them go away seemed to be an uphill task. These pimples seemed to be the only negative factor marring my beautiful face. Although I did get relief using Clindac- …

I had intended to buy myself some sensible, anti-bacterial type of liquid hand wash for my bathroom when I spotted this really cute Palmolive Aquarium one with a hologram of a dolphin swimming on the bottom of the sea on it. I always look at it when I …

I have been a huge fan of Healing Garden products ever since they arrived in Canada about 7 years ago. My favourite is lavender, as the Healing Garden line uses a lot of lavender in their scents, unlike other cosmetic lines where I’ve noticed an alcohol scent.
Lavender is a …
