Walgreens Personal Cough & Cold Steam Inhaler
My husband has always been sort of anti-medication. It really wasn’t until about a year ago that he finally caved and started taking motrin for headaches. Otherwise he’d just suffer through it, lay in a cold dark room with a rag over his face. Not exactly conducive to being …
The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel
I have purchased a lot of bath products from the Body Shop in the past, but I have to admit that this is one of my favorites. I do not consider myself to be very picky when it comes to shower gels. The main things that I …
Colgate Total Clean Mint Toothpaste
I love using Colgate Total Toothpaste, especially the “normal” flavors like the Clean Mint. I say “normal” as I don’t like those Whitening ones —“ I don’t trust them not to damage my teeth and I refuse to use them. But the normal ones I buy all the time …
Kiss My Face Upper Management Styling Gel 8 oz
I have thinning hair, and after learning that some of the chemicals used in mainstream hair products can contribute to scalp problems and thinning hair, I decided to try out some of the natural ones. I tried Kiss My Face first, since I had recently really liked one of their …
Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin
I am not a very huge fan of lotions and moisturizers since many of them I have tried over the years have tended to be a bit too greasy for my liking. However, I still use them because I have dry skin on my arms, legs, and feet. Some …
EOBubble Bath Rose Geranium & Citrus 12 oz
There is nothing like a good bubble bath to soothe tired sore muscles and make the stress of the day disappear. I have fibromyalgia, and hot baths are almost a necessity for me to be functional.
I have a great variety of bubble baths, bath salts, and other bath …
Dial 3D Body Wash
I live in a dorm, and we don’t have air conditioning so the soap we use is very important to us. If we aren’t particular we can really start to have an aroma. So when I saw Dial’s new 3D body wash I thought I would give it a …
Moon’s Harvest Barefoot Bath Bomb 8.5 oz
I enjoy taking a nightly bath to help treat my fibromyalgia symptoms. The hot water plus whatever bath additives I choose to use really help stop the pain and muscle spasms, allowing me to sleep much better and feel better well into the next day. I highly recommend trying this …

Biotene Dry Mouth Mouthwash, 33.8 ounce
When I began having trouble with dry eyes and dry mouth, due to either diabetes or possible Sjogren’s (undiagnosed) my doctor recommended I use Biotene for dry mouth. I am very sensitive to strong mint mouthwashes and other oral products so this was my primary concern about using this …
Jarrow Formulas Curcumin 95/ 500mg 120 capsule
I read about curcumin being a very potent antioxidant that is recommended by many for general health and even cancer prevention. It was something I had never tried, but I had heard about curcuminoids, which come from the spice turmeric. Anything that protects the DNA is worth trying for me.
…
TASC
I’m not sure if I’ve taken the time to write about the company TASC (Total Administrative Services Corp.) before. If I have, I’m sure my review was slightly less than flattering.
But, now that our company’s medical flex plan has been managed by TASC for a few months now, I …

Earth Therapeutics Quick-Dry Hair Towel

My hair is not exceptionally …
Suave Naturals Shampoo, Juicy Green Apple scent
I do not often use Suave Shampoo, but I grabbed this bottle one afternoon because of the very cheap price, right around a buck twenty five or so for a twenty two and a half fluid ounce bottle. I do have to say that the scent is incredibly too …
ITA-MED Graduated Compression hosiery QN PLS
I sometimes have a problem with swelling in my legs around the time for my menstrual period to start, and I had started to notice what looked like varicose veins forming. I should have asked my doctor first, but I decided on my own to try compression stockings to see …

CVS Heatwraps Knee
I didn’t think there would be such a drastic difference between hot/cold or heat wraps for the knee or wrist, but there definitely are, since I’ve tried out a few different ones, and some of them from the same company. I had recently sprained my knee walking to work …
Nutra Sonic Skincare System
Knowing my passion for skin care products, my husband surprised me by giving this amazing gift on my birthday called the Nutra sonic Skincare System. When I received the gift I was just thrilled. I have always loved using different types of products that would help me keep …
Vaseline Intensive Rescue Hypoallergenic Moisture Locking Lotion
I’m not a huge fan of petrochemicals, but Vaseline is one of the brands that I will use. The reason is that I simply haven’t found something that’s more effective. A staple in my purse or backpack is Vaseline Intensive Moisture Locking Lotion, usually in the 1 fluid ounce …
Ace Instant Cold Compress
I get aches and pains a lot, mainly because of my activities and work. I rely on a lot of creams, gels, medicines, and patches to relive my pain (not wanting to take prescription pain relievers). One product I use often, mainly for knees, is the Ace …
Smart Sense Super Plus Tampons Plastic Applicator Fresh Scent
I have always been a fan of tampons and use them monthly. I like to be protected, but also like to try different products and see what each of them have to offer. I have never really had a preference between plastic and cardboard applicators, but recently have been …
Berocca
It was my husband who introduced me to the awesome Berocca–a super potent Vitamin B & C combination in tablet form that, when dropped in water, turns the liquid into an effervescent energy drink. I say potent because it really works wonders for me. I take Berocca whenever I …
The Himalaya Original Accupressure Mat (lavender)
My granola loving, well meaning flower child friend bought me this as a gift. Supposedly, according to her, this mat can make your entire life better. It improves sleep, relieves mental anxiety, increases circulation, balances organs and chakras and all kinds of amazing things that can’t be proven.

Gold’s gym in Chicopee
The Gold’s gym in Chicopee is not to bad but it is way to small. I like Gold’s gym in Chicopee because the trainers are knowledgeable and know what they are doing but there are many downfalls to this gym.
The Gold’s gym in Chicopee is only good to go …

Biogenic (Isopropyl Alcohol) Antiseptic/Disinfectant

BB Double Strength Super Gro (Hair and Scalp Recovery)

I have known Efficascent Oil as the famous liniment for so long. I first saw this product from my grandmother who passed away thirteen years ago. She used to be an avid user of Efficascent Oil. This liniment is already tested for years and trusted mostly by generations.
Frankly, …
NextCare Urgent Care in Fredericksburg
