I sometimes suffer from dry throat, and when there is no slippery elm to be found, I have resorted to a few other alternatives, like these throat drops from Ricola. Unlike their strong mentholated cough drops, these have a gentle, light tingly bit of menthol, but mostly they are flavorful …

I’ve had my Stamina 4755 recumbent exercise bike for a little over a year now. I really like it. It shows me distance, calories burned, speed, and time. It also has scan mode, where it runs through all of the settings in a cycle. That’s the …

To me this Basic tooth paste is a …

I was very curious about this product when I first heard about it. I thought how great it would be to have something that allowed me more freedom on those days when I was on my cycle. Other feminine products like tampons and feminine napkins worked for a short …

Over the past two years (that’s when I was first introduced to Burt’s Bees products, even though it’s been around forever), I have used just about every Burt’s Bees product imagineable. I don’t like the fact that these products are extremely expensive, especially when I’ve trained myself to shop …
