Please let us start by reviewing the thermometer’s design. I like the fact that it comes in a very simple and easy to use style. The …
New Chapter Zyflamend Softgels 120 ea
I have several conditions that I deal with on a daily basis—“ diabetes, fibromyalgia, IBS and GERD. At least one of these, diabetes, is a risk for heart disease. When I read about low level inflammation as a possible cause of heart disease in diabetes, I became interested in supplements …
Sonicare Philips Essence 5500 Toothbrush
Growing up, I always used manual toothbrushes, but now I only use my electric toothbrushes. The one I use now is the Sonicare Essence 5500 Power Toothbrush, and it’s one I still love madly because it gets my teeth so clean.
It’s a rechargeable toothbrush that comes with a …
Neosporin Lip Health Daily Hydration Therapy
I knew I had a problem licking my lips as a child when I’d come home from school with a giant red and painfully raw ring around my mouth where my tongue had irritated the skin from consistent licking. From that period on, I pretty much always had a …
Marine Blue Australia Sunscreen
I’m definitely a fan of Marine Blue Australia Sunscreen. I find it superior to other brands (e.g., Coppertone, Hawaiian Tropics) in a number of ways.
I bought this product off the shelf in our Duty Free shop here in the Philippines. With its claims of SPF30, 4 hours …
Kotex Super Plus Absorbency Tampons
I have always dreaded my time of the month with a passion. I’m sure most women do, but I hate everything about it. I hate the leaky feeling, the wetness, the cramps and the messiness of it all. I figured out that tampons are much less messy than sanitary …
Eos Refresh Everyday Hand Lotion Cucumber 1.5 oz
Eos is an interesting company, and I have often used their lip balms and other products. When I saw this little pocket sized lotion, I thought it was too cute to pass up. The little green squeeze bottle is shaped a bit like an egg, with a little flip cap …
Serious Mass by Optimum Nutrition
Serious Mass by Optimum Nutrition is a great product; it worked very well as a weight gain supplement solving my dilemma of being an ectomorph with an ultra active metabolism. I gained a substantial amount of weight, around 4kg in a little over a month which is a great …
American Fare Antiseptic Mouth Rinse
In recent times, I have been feeling like my mouth never really gets clean no matter how many times I brush a day. I went in search of a mouth wash that was inexpensive. I know that kmart has fair prices and decided to shop there. I came upon …
H & M Eyeglass Frame
I was using this eyeglass frame for five years now and it’s still good. I bought this together with my first eyeglass lens in 2004. The lens has been upgraded several times but this eyeglass frame is still good. That is a good value for the money I spent …
Hugo Naturals Mexican Lime & Bergamot Deodorant 1.5 oz
I have been trying to find a natural, aluminum free deodorant that actually works. I have found a few that work better than others, but nothing that even comes close to the aluminum containing mainstream products—“ you know, the ones that actually keep you from stinking.
I am aware …
Free & Clear Shampoo for Sensitive Skin 12 oz
I once went through a phase where my scalp was itchy and irritated. It happened after a professional hair coloring treatment, and lasted about a month. Some chemical in the colorant must have really upset my scalp, because I had itching, flaking, and little bumps to pop up periodically. No …
Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Floss Picks, 30 count
I use a fair share of dental floss, and so does my daughter. I much prefer the kind that comes as a roll of floss inside a case, but my daughter prefers floss picks. We alternate, and I buy my favorite once, then she gets to choose, …
Colgate Sensitive Whitening Toothpaste
I have been using Colgate Sensitive Whitening toothpaste for almost a month now, and so far so good. I love the fresh feeling it gives my teeth and mouth. To be honest, I do not think any other toothpaste can top its great taste and very strong …
Kiss My Face Moisturizer, Olive & Aloe 4 fl oz
I have used the Kiss my Face Peaches and Cream moisturizer, and really liked it. It had alpha hydroxy acids in it. I assumed this product would be very similar as it is often listed together with the other. They are actually not very similar at all. I love …
Clearasil Daily Cleanser

Swissco Dual Surface Bath Sponge
I have always believed that keeping your skin clean was perhaps one of the best ways to help your skin stay young and beautiful. This is why I always found myself go weak on my knees whenever I happened to see a product in the market which I thought …
Zand Herbalozenge Organic Cranberry Raspberry 18 Lozenges
I have been using zinc lozenges for years to treat colds before they get too severe. In my experience, various brands all work—“ it is just a matter of finding the ones that are the most palatable and have fewer unwanted effects. One of these effects of zinc lozenges is …
Crests Whitestrips

BC Pain Reliever/Fever Reducer Powder
I can remember the first time I ever heard of BC Powders. I was working at a drug store, and I had seen them on the shelf. People often asked for them, so I finally asked the pharmacist what was so different about them.
I was told that basically, …
Mariani Enhanced Wellness Berry Defense
I love these kind of products that claim to treat the body, the mind, AND the spirit. I wouldn’t say I’m really a holistic healing kind of nut, but there’s something very therapeutic just in the act of taking control and trying to do something to help make your …
Gramp Lyford’s Country Salve 3.4 oz
I was given a small tube of this salve by a vendor who works for a distribution center locally. It seemed charming, with a picture of someone’s grandpa on the front of the tube, in an otherwise simple packaging. The salve contains urea and allantoin, two ingredients well known for …
Grandma’s Herbs Immune Enhancer 454 mg Capsules

My sister bought this foot massager for my parents about 3 years ago. It was a very popular OSIM product back then. She bought it during its promotional period at around RM 900 (which is around USD$ 260).

Dove White Beauty Bar
There are a few products that are timeless and classic, and one of these is Dove’s classic white beauty bar, with “1/4 Moisturizing lotion.” I believe in the 1970’s they called it moisturizing cream—“ cream must be out of style! But Dove certainly isn’t.
The Dove brand …

Wegman’s Antibacterial Liquid Soap with Moisturizers
I actually came across this liquid soap in the ladies’ room of Bertucci’s restaurant. It was an easy soap for me to purchase, because I live right near Wegman’s supermarket. I was intrigued by this soap, because I liked the fresh scent. It smelled like lemons to me at …
Lux Natural Bar Soap Blackberry Sage 4.5 oz
I love to use natural soaps, and a friend who shares my interest turned me on to a company called Lux Naturals. I was at first confused, because there is a Unilever brand called Lux soap, but this is completely different. These folks make good, old fashioned handmade cold process …
First Defense Nasal Screens Seven Sets
I have season allergies that can be severe. Although I have tried every prescription medicine and over the counter antihistamine, the only one that seems to work effectively for me is Benadryl. This can pose a problem when I need to be alert and actually functional, because the Benadryl makes …

For some people, exercise is not an activity that they can call “fun.” Some people are disappointed of WiiFit; they expect to have some fun and excitement while playing it, just like playing other regular games. If your reason of buying a WiiFit is to satisfy your gaming sensation, …

Silver Biotics by American Biotech Labs

I stumbled across Silver Biotics by American …
Weleda Everon Lip Balm 0.17 oz
