I hadn’t used any dry shampoos before until my best friend recommended trying it. She knows I’ve had a load of trouble dealing with my hair because it’s so thick that I can’t even wash it every day because it will dry out the tips too much, especially in …

I had always known that drinking at least eight glasses of water a day is important for good health. However, to be honest I never paid much attention to it. In fact, sometimes I would pass a day with only having had one glass of water. Before I knew …

I have IBS, and when I was having a phase where I was constipated, which happens occasionally, I did not want to use a strong laxative. When I have tried that in the past, it always ended up causing me to have a long bout of diarrhea rebound afterwards. …

I love soaps with a handmade look and feel, and when I found these 4.5 oz glycerin soaps on sale for 2.99 online, I couldn’t order them fast enough. I ordered several, and one of the fragrances was blackberry sage. It reminded me of a really nice blackberry sage tea …

One favorite product I have always loved from Avon is their bubble bath. It comes in a big tall bottle that seems to last forever, makes tons of bubbles and smells great.
The latest visit from an Avon lady inspired me to buy the Hot Apple Pie scent bubble …

Sometimes, I am given the okay by my doctor and pharmacist to split certain pills to get a lower dose of the medicine in my system, and I’ve always dreaded it because I would use a knife and I would have pills shooting all over the room as they …

I used to buy Likas Papaya for my whitening soap. Unfortunately, it made my skin too dry every after wash that I was eventually forced to look for another option. While browsing through the market and seeking recommendations, I easily stumbled upon Glutamax Soap. Unlike other brands, Glutamax is …

…

I was in the health food store looking at the homeopathic pain creams but the only one that I saw that I knew for sure had any possibility of working cost too much. The woman who was working recommended the Boiron Arnicare Cream which cost $6.49. I thought …

When detecting whether I was pregnant or not, I had less faith on the ones which show a cross or double lines because their results are often very confusing, so I wanted to go with the digital ones only. But the branded digital one was really costly, so I …

I’ve used a lot of bandages in my day, and especially now that I have children of my own, and teenage boys at that! If I’m not bumping into things and cutting myself shaving or some other minor catastrophe then they are sure to somehow injure themselves on a …

When it’s about toothpastes I am very picky. I just can’t buy just any toothpaste any more, although in the past it was the same for me if the toothpaste was Colgate, Aquafresh, Zirodent or something of even less quality but about 2 years ago all that changed. I …

The Freestyle Freedom is designed very sleek looking. It isn’t your typical Diabetes monitoring system. I like my Freestyle Freedom Monitor for several reasons.
The first reason is because it cuts down on how many times you have to stick yourself. It also allows you to stick yourself in different …

I love Burt’s Bees products, and although I have found their hair products less than ideal in the past, the unusual scent of this one made me give it another try. I would not exactly describe the scent as raspberry, and to be honest I am not sure what a …

I am quite the connoisseur of birth control. I’ve been taking birth control since the 7th grade when I experienced my first of several ruptured ovarian cysts. I have always had heavy periods, and have taken the birth control pill, the patch, the nuvaring, and I now have the …

The last time I was in a Dollar Tree store, I saw these “Diet Dots” pills, and wondered what on earth they could possibly contain for a dollar. I looked on the back to see, and found that what they basically are is a chewable B12 tablet, with some Acai …

Have you ever seen something on the shelf and decided you wanted it just because it was so different? That’s how I ended up with a bottle of Yes to Tomatoes shower gel. With it’s slightly humorous name, the product begs for you to pick it up and see …

I’ve sort of developed a rather embarrassing problem when it comes to motion sickness over the years. When I was a teenager, I used to be able to read in the car and it would never bother me. And I didn’t even realize I’d developed a problem with motion …

I was recently sent to the doctor because I was experiencing a high level of lower back pain due to nerve damage I experienced at work lifting heavy boxes in a repetative fashion, and going up and down ladders. After an extensive visit with my doctor, he suggested that …

I am a chain smoker since last five years. I know it is going to harm my body apart from being an unnecessary financial drain. After trying hard, I decided to try some medicine.
After seeing an advertisement on television, I order Zero Addiction Powder. It was supposed to …

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 …

I take a lot of daily vitamins to ensure I get the nutrients that my restrictive diet causes me to lack, and one of the supplements I take not quite daily, but several times a week is Swanson Vitamin B-12 in a lozenge form.
The Lozenges are a lot different …

When I have a cold with bad chest congestion, I usually use something like Vicks Vaporub or Mentholatum for my chest. The last time I ran out, I decided to try a natural brand that looked interesting. It was from All Terrain, and is called Breathe Better Rub. Like Vicks, …

So my dear husband bought me a Sonicare Toothbrush for Christmas this past year. Let me tell you what a toothbrush this is. Now I have had electric brushes before, but this one is something of a new species if you will. The speed alone is …

I took advantage of a sale at Walgreens last week to try out a brand new shave cream. While I don’t usually get excited over shave products, the Eos line was intriguing to say the least. The containers, of which there were three individual scent formulas, were …

I have combination skin that is dry in the winter months and oily and acne prone in the summer. I had been fighting with a lot of pimple breakouts for a month or so before finally resorting to a “harsh chemical” to help get rid of them. This chemical is …

I normally take some sort of supplement in the winter months to try to avoid getting all the colds and flu that go around. I’ve tried several formulas and found them to work fairly well, despite the skeptics claims. The problem came up one summer that I was not …

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 …

Part of my job entails that I handle a lot of money and come in contact with a lot of people, and so this means that my hands are constantly dirty no matter how many times that I might wash or sanitize them throughout the day. This tends to …

Being a young woman that wants to prevent getting pregnant before I am ready for such a responsibility I went to my family doctor and talked to her about forms of birth control. She of course mentioned the condom, the birth control pills and last but not least the …

I can’t even explain to you how I felt when I witnessed my first diaper rash. Okay, well not MY diaper rash, but that of my godchild. I used to babysit for my godchildren all the time when they were just little guys and I had a houseful of …

I have always been a big fan of this body oil. If you have not been to the body shop for massage oil, you should try it. The oil is scentless at first, until you select which unique scents you would like to add. There are …

I have been a user of Dr. Bronner’s castile soap in the past. I like to use it as hand soap in the kitchen and bathrooms. When I saw this was a little bit less expensive, I decided to try it. Far from a poor imitation, this is a …

When I was a kid, I was always jealous of my cousin’s freckles she had inherited from her Caucasian father. Of course it didn’t hurt that she was also tall, gorgeous with long black hair and endless legs and sweetheart shaped face, but the one thing that I really remember …

I take a hot bath every night to help treat the symptoms of fibromyalgia. I have been battling this condition since my late teens, and this is one of the most effective therapies I have found for it. The hot water stops muscle spasms and foot cramps, and eases my …

Several years ago, I experienced a pretty bad rough patch in my life after making a rather dramatic move, and went through a period of depression that took me a year to get myself out of. But, because of that depression, which I ate my way through, I ended …

There are times that money gets tight, especially when i’m waiting on payments from contracts. When I’m in a pench like this, I go with the Tena Ultra Briefs since they are less expensive than Tranquility ATN Diapers.
While Tranquility ATN Diapers is my preferred brand, this is the …

Noise! Noise! Noise! That is all I have been hearing around our house lately between the house construction, yard work and the use of that horribly noisy gas powdered wood splitter. I am a freelance writer and sometimes I just need it so quiet to I can think and …

I buy a lot of hand sanitizer because I have kids coming in and out of my house constantly throughout the year and there have been many of times where one of them has the sniffles or some kind of bug to pass around. I always get on …

I have irritable bowel syndrome, and the symptoms have plagued me for years. I manage it pretty well with fiber, aloe vera, and careful diet, but sometimes it flares up anyway, when I am under stress or other things go awry in my body. This supplement was recommended by some …

Now this was an interesting looking bandage, and I was absolutely positive it would work for me. Or rather, for my son. He had, a few years ago, fallen through some ice at the creek near our house and tripped and ended up slicing his ankle to the bone …

This is a lotion that I really hate because it really made my skin very itchy and I’ve had rashes from using it while I’m pregnant. I particularly used this product because the label says it can prevent the appearance of stretchmarks during pregnancy but it so untrue …

I am a housewife and I have small children who are very naughty. I have a lot of work pressure as I have to prepare the breakfast before my children go to the school in the morning and I also take care of the rest of my family. …

I have to say that the fact that this was a spray was the real reason I gave Rescue Sleep Spray a shot. It seemed a convenient size to carry with you and easy enough to use. See, I’ve suffered from sleep-related problems since my youth. Even sleep-walking runs …

I like to make my own bath and body products sometimes, and give them as gifts or use them myself. I like shea butter for a moisturizer in the winter when my skin tends to be its driest. I decided, after reading some shea butter “recipes” online, that I wanted …

I always have a stock of Johnson & Johnson Band Aid. I have been using this product for as long as I can remember. When I cut my skin or got some scrapes, I always clean those cuts and scrapes with antiseptics. After that, I cover it up with …
