Percogesic is a pain reliever that has been around for many years and I have taken it before, several times. It works well—“ nothing phenomenal, but as good as most over the counter pain relievers. I learned something interesting about it recently though. I was talking to a friend …

AcneFree’s Terminator 10 acne and blackhead medicated spot treatment is by far the best over-the-counter acne cream I have ever used. It comes in a 1 oz orange tube and is pretty fairly priced (i bought my tube at my local Wal-Mart for about $5.) I have had mildly …

I’ve read about this product and its …

I do …

Now we already know about the whisper sanitary pads as I have said about this in my earlier reviews. But now I am going to talk particularly about the Whisper ultra thin pads. Now the whisper ultra thin pads are my favourite sanitary pads, which I have …

When I finally decided to lose some weight and start a new exercise program, I knew I would need some sort of energy booster. I do a lot of manual household chores at home as well as taking care of the kids, but somehow my metabolism has slowed down …

I take a nightly hot bath for treating the symptoms of fibromyalgia, and I enjoy a great variety of products to make it more interesting. I love bath salts, both for the fun of using them and for the fact that they add minerals like magnesium to the water which …

Although anti inflammatory drugs never helped me much with the nerve pain and fibromyalgia I suffer chronically, they do come in handy for menstrual cramps and stress headaches.
I try to always keep Motrin or Advil on hand for these times. Since name brands are expensive I have …

I recently tested out the ThermaCare air-activated wraps for my lower back pain, and they worked wonderfully, but they came on a band and had a tendency to bunch at the wasit and prove a little obnoxious with all the adjusting I had to do. When I strained my …

I have been using the sugar free Halls kiwi-apple flavored cough drops. I have to say these drops taste better than any other’s I’ve tried. I was expecting the sugar free version to be worse, but they aren’t as mediciny tasting as the kind that contain sugar.
I …

Cold and cough is a very minor disease caused mainly due to change of weather but it can be very annoying and take the toll on the body if not taken good care of. Recently I went to Shimla on a vacation with my husband and everything was quite …

I am kind of new to the whole Body Electric workout scene. Once in a while I would catch a show on TV, and then one day I realized that I was enjoying them enough to seek out some of Margaret Richard’s other workout DVDs. There is …

I have skin that tends to get dry in the winter, and dry skin can sometimes be itchy.

I’ve come to the recent conclusion that there really is a workout that for everyone. I myself stumbled upon a novel workout while checking Amazon for new Bellydance workout routines. Since I have already tried and enjoyed a few other Bellydance workouts, I readily purchased the Belly …

When I started using a shampoo that was rosemary mint fragranced, I was really enjoying the scent, and when I saw that Loreal offered a protectant spray with the same smell, I wanted to try it.
This is actually one of their new sulfate free lines, that has no animal products …

I had to use VO5 Normal Balancing Shampoo at my older sister’s house because I forgot to bring the usual kind that I use. She has much thinner and straight hair than I do, so I see why it may work for her but it pretty much ruined my …

Though I’ve loved Nature’s Way products for years now, I was actually hesitant to try this Thisilyn Cleanse product. I figured it just couldn’t do everything it claims it can do. Plus, it was a little expensive at about $30 and claimed to do a generic variety of things …
