Spending quite a few hours sitting in front of the computer always gave rise to a pain at the back of my neck. Although I did try using pillows behind my back to support my neck and make myself more comfortable on the chair, my neck pain still remained …

As I don’t eat meat it’s important for me to make sure that I’m getting a balanced diet, and one vitamin group that I’m in danger of missing out on is B-vitamins. I know that I should take a multivitamin tablet each day, and every so often I …

I fell in love with the foaming soaps made by companies like Bath and Body Works and Method. I saw this soap on the shelf and decided I would try the totally organic version too. This is an almond scented soap, so I thought, and I got into those after …

I can’t honestly say that I put a lot of stock in this product when I first bought it, but I was really at a low point in my life and was willing to give anything a try. I was already a fan of GNC products and visited the …

I had a problem awhile back with redness in the skin on my neck and chest area. It started after some sun exposure which was very much unintended. I got stuck in a car in traffic, and had not put sun block on my chest because I hadn’t intended to …

Vicks VapoRub is one of the products that has been around forever, it seems. I have used Vicks VapoRub on my children, my mother used Vicks VapoRub on me, and I am sure that my mother’s mother used Vicks VapoRub on her. Why? Because Vicks VapoRub is a wonderful …

I have been nearsighted most of my life, and have worn both contacts and glasses to improve vision. For the last few years I have been wearing glasses about 90% of the time, since I’ve developed an unfortunate intolerance for wearing contacts more than a couple of hours at …

I found Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Cereal Bars in mixed berry flavor in the health aisle at the grocery store. I was rather interested because they looked pretty good on the package. I trust Kellogg’s foods because I have been using them for a long time and know they usually taste …

I have used a lot of homeopathic and natural/ alternative health care products—“ despite the fact that many times they turn out to be a waste of time and money. It is for the occasional amazing success that I persist. Sometimes, it happens. When I was at a friend’s …

PitRok Crystal Natural Spray Deodorant is a deodorant with a difference and personally I have found it very effective. This apparently works by suppressing bacterial growth which is the cause of body odour because it is not actually our sweat that makes us smell, but the bacteria on …

A few weeks back when I suddenly started experiencing severe pain in my left thigh- I felt just helpless and weak. Initially when the pain arouse, I felt that it must be one of those muscle pull problem. But as days passed by the pain which so showed …

I don’t always eat the healthiest, I’ll admit, and sometimes foods that I love just don’t sit well with me. I’m mildly lactose intolerant, but I love milk products, and that doesn’t always leave me feeling my best. There are days where I will have a bowl of cereal …

Awhile back, I suffered a period of sensitivity and irritation in my more intimate areas, which I used a variety of products to try and treat. I had already switched to Cetaphil and was no longer using soaps, but I began to wonder if perhaps it was not doing a …

Centrum is by far the most affordable and most complete multivitamin I can find in the market today. I’ve always trusted this brand. Time came when I was looking for a cheaper alternative, which I did find. Unfortunately, these other brands did not have a list of vitamins and …

This is an interesting product that I tried when I was having some swelling and slight bleeding in my gums. The problem actually started after a professional deep cleaning. I did not want to be subjected to more dentist bills, so I decided to try to treat the …

I have thinning hair, and use a variety of products to promote fullness and volume. When my hairdresser recommended the Nioxin system, I bought the kit with the shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment. I later got the hair spray and some other styling products.
Since supposedly all the …

Someone bought me this product, because I am a fan of Burt’s Bees and have used a lot of their products. It was pretty costly—“ I had seen it in stores but never bought any myself, because basically it is an alcohol based hand sanitizer, which is really no different …

Like many women, I have dry, rough skin on my heels that needs to be taken care of before sandal season. Rather than pay a lot of money for a professional pedicure, I prefer to take care of it myself at home. I usually use a regular …

I was very disappointed with the quality of a couple of carrier oils that I ordered from Nature’s Alchemy, but they redeemed themselves with this essential oil. I like to make my own massage oil blends, and often use essential oils in bath product, vaporizers, and general fragrance products.

I have never been a big user of “night creams” because they tended to be very heavy. I have combination skin and using a heavy moisturizer overnight has been known to results in starting my day with big, nasty pimples. Although younger skin is a wonderful thing, puberty-style acne …

My finace used to keep me awake for hours at night when he snored. I tossed and turned and even had to go into other rooms just to try and get a full night’s sleep. I bought the Hearos Xtreme Protection Ear Plugs with a noise reduction rating of …

About two summers ago, I was outside on one of the hottest day of the year and forgot to put on some sunscreen. I know…stupid, but I really didn’t expect to be out there that long and thought it wouldn’t cause that much damage.
Oh boy. Was I ever wrong.
I …

I have recently been exploring different dental flosses. I found out that I enjoy the deep down clean feeling that I get from the floss and wanted to get that feeling on a daily basis. Since then, I have made sure that there is floss in my home at …

My wisdom teeth were coming in, but I could not get them removed due to my autoimmune disease. Unfortunately, I ended up with an infection in one of them due to food particles and bacteria being stuck between the skin and the tooth. When this happened, my dentist gave …

About 1 year ago, I broke my leg. Still trying to relive the glory of my youth, I overstretched while playing football and was caught with a tackle leading to a double leg break. My recovery has been sore and arduous and hasn’t been aided by my …

I have bout always pads a couple of different occasions. I like them because they have different pads to meet my needs. They have pads that are thin and don’t feel uncomfortable. They also have pads that are really long to really help prevent leaks. Sometimes it is hard …

Just when I thought I had purchased my last Walk Away the Pounds DVD, I came across an action packed workout system that was too good to pass up. With the 5-Day Fit Walk, I have a fresh workout everyday all on one inexpensive DVD.
If you are as …

The past year or so I have really been trying to get into shape. I love to walk, and I have a pedometer that counts how many steps I take. I find devices like this a big motivator for me to push myself and set goals to …

I’ve used Breathe Right Strips in the past, but haven’t always been that impressed with them. If I don’t prop myself up on a bunch of pillows in the middle of the night then I’ll almost always end up snoring, almost like I’m trying to swallow my own tongue …

Welcome to the cold, flu, sinus and allergy season. I have sinus problems year-round, actually, but winter weather only makes the problem worse. Even when I take over-the-counter medicine, the cold and the damp wreck my sinuses.
Cleanup duties are necessary. Lately, I’ve been blowing my nose at least two, …

This has got to be the best deodorant/anti perspirant I’ve used by far! All the other ones I’ve use either don’t dry fast enough, leave my underarms feeling too dry, leave that white mark all over my close, or worse, don’t even serve their purpose to keep off sweat …

I definitely give a thumbs up for this baby soap. I don’t only use it for my baby but it’s also great for pregnant women like me who have very sensitive skin. The label says it’s Hypoallergic and it lives up to its name. I suffered from …

I am a big supporter of products that are simple, natural, and not tested on animals. Although I am guilty of using products that do not fit the above description too, I still appreciate the efforts of the makers. I’ve always liked Burt’s Bees products. I use …

I have used the original Noxzema cream for many years. My mom used it when I was a kid, and I started trying it out in my teens. I took a vacation from it for a few years, but when I got older I realized how good my mom’s skin …

I am a huge fan of Secret products. I use the invisible solids as my staple deodorant product. One day I was shopping, and happened to be thinking about wearing a particular sleeveless dress that would require an invisible underarm product. Although I had some invisible solid at home, …

My first exposure to O.B. Tampons was as a teenager. However, as an older adult I’ve become a freebie hunter and I received the new O.B. Comfort Silk Touch Absorbency Tampons in the mail. I’ve bought them since but I completely prefer the older version that was all cotton.
The …

I babysit for a neighbor’s son, which gives me a great excuse to buy kid’s stuff that I usually end up using myself. A perfect example is when I bought some Mr. Bubble Bubbleberry bubble bath. It’s actually a three in one formula that can be used for body wash …

My daughter is an active child, but when she reached the age of three, she became even more active. Maybe because she started going to school at this age, and she became exposed to more children her age. She was introduced to more physical activities and games at school. …

I have struggled with acid reflux for years. I eventually ended up taking prescription proton pump inhibitors, and this has alleviated most of the problem. Sometimes, however, I have breakthrough symptoms and need to take an over the counter acid product or some sort of natural remedy. I have tried …
