I’ve been looking for ways to go more “green” and consume less paper products. A friend of mine who uses a menstrual cup was trying to convince me to use the ones she does—“ but I told her I had been down that road and it just wasn’t for me.

The new local grocery store down the road from my house has been hosting a sample day one time a week. And they were giving out these little packets of One a Day Vita Craves, a cute little package with two Vita Craves just enough for a day’s …

I’ve been a fan of Dove soap for many years. It’s a great product that is tried and true and it’s from a company that meets the expectations of its customers.
When I developed a little allergic skin reaction that left me with an uncomfortable rash, I expected …

I am usually not a fan of feminine pads but there are times when I just do not want to wear tampons. I tend to only have trouble with menstrual cramps during the first day of my cycle and I always find that when I wear tampons during that …

I have always used Qtips for cleaning out my ears, I guess it is kind of an “age old tradition” for lack of a better term. I don’t believe I have ever known anyone who hasn’t used Qtips for this purpose.
Well the point …

I never buy this brand unless I’m down on my very last dollar and I don’t have a choice. This is because I think it is the epitome of cheap, to the point where whenever I buy a pack, I usually wear two pads, and even then, there’s a …

I have never liked the feeling of water in my ears, and often when it gets in there, I can’t get it out, leading to temporary hearing loss and the frustration of “swimmer’s ear.” Since I bought a pool a few years ago, I decided it would be a good …

I normally keep a box of Band Aids in my kitchen, along with a box of finger cots. The reason for this is that I am quite frequently cutting myself accidentally with a particular deli knife, that although I realize is obviously dangerous, I cannot force myself to give up …

I always loved to swim, but the problem was though I looked slim - my body shape was such that my arms always looked more on the heavier side( a hereditary factor I suppose). This factor always made me conscious whenever I wore my swimming costume. Although they …

This is an item I received as a gift. I am diabetic and overweight and always need to measure and count the foods I eat. I also prepare meals for my elderly mother who is on a special renal diabetic diet. This scale is a digital model that offers …

The pain in my knees had become an on and off affair in my life. Whenever the pain surfaced- it would make life just miserable. I would find it hard to even walk a few steps or sit comfortably on my knees. After seeing my plight- my mother suggested …

I like to use a body scrub to exfoliate in the winter, especially one with some good moisturizing oils in it. I also have fibromyalgia, and regularly use herbal and menthol remedies to massage with, as they help with the pain and cramping the illness can cause.
I have …

I have been using Solocare Aqua for months now. However when it ran out, I was not able to find the same solution in the store where I usually buy so I bought this instead. Complete Multipurpose Contact Lens Solution is a little bit expensive than Solocare Aqua. For …

I’m just going to say, right off the bat, that these didn’t work at all. Granted, I was a little skeptical to begin with because it sounded too good to be true. I mean, a cookie diet, after all, is like a girls best friend. It’s supposed to work …

I color my long hair, and over the years, it has taken its toll. I have tried several color protecting treatments that condition the hair, and this is one that came highly recommended by a friend and her hairdresser. It is a leave in treatment, to be applied to …

One day while I was out shopping, I started getting the beginnings of a migraine headache. This would obviously ruin the rest of the day, so I went into a store to try and find something to take right away. What I had in mind was something like …

In my quest to lose weight I’ve tried nearly every type of diet drug there is and ended up picking Stacker 2 primarily because I’m a NASCAR fan. That sounds a little odd, but it’s true. The company once sponsored a NASCAR team and after seeing hundreds of different …

One of my favorite places to shop is Dollar Tree because I am able to purchase name brand products at a super lower price- $1. Lately, the shampoos and conditioners that I typically use on my hair have left it feeling very dry. My hair is curly …

My doctors have suspected that I may have a mild case of lupus for years. Because of this, I have always been told to never go out in the sun without adequate protection. I usually carry an emergency stick of sun block in my purse for when I am out …

I have fibromyalgia, and one of my best defenses against the symptoms is to employ the use of frequent massage therapy. I have the assistance of my partner to do this, and I use a variety of massage oils and lotions. One that I was given as a gift is …

The last time I needed to buy new tissues I bought Puffs. Before that, I had tried this product, because it was on sale for a really good price. I have used Kleenex in the past but always preferred Puffs Plus for its softness and moisturizing effects, but I …

When I was shopping last week for some new deodorant, a lady was standing in front of the shelf with my usual brand, which is Secret. While waiting for her to finish and move, I happened to see that some items were marked down to two dollars. One of …

I love Primal Elements soaps. They are made in long bars which are cut in slices, always irregular for a truly “hand made” look. Each individual bar is a work of art. Cut out shapes are inserted into the loaf so that when it is sliced, each bar …

I’m a working mother of two, and wife to an equally busy husband, so I find myself always on the go. If I’m not sitting at my computer writing reviews, then I’m moving and grooving and going about my daily routine of heading to work and running my errands …

Sore throat is the worst kind of feeling you can ever get, it itches as badly as it can but the problem is how we scratch off the itch deep inside the throat. We know how bad an itchy skin can get, nothing can relief it unless and until …

Because of the way my body works, I am an exclusive tampon user. I don’t use pads, because they never seem to give me the leak protection I need. My favorite tampons to use have always been Playtex gentle glide. I’ve always enjoyed them because of how easy they …

I’m perpetually on a diet and that has had deleterious effects on the condition of upper arms. Since losing and doing exercise alone did not seem to be making the grade, I decided to try these slimming wraps to see if it could help me lose some of the flabby, …

Should someone ask me what my most hidden insecurity is, I guess my teeth could very well be a valid answer. Teeth whitening may be a costly privilege accessible only at a dentist’s chair. I hated my personal orthodontist’s forceful attempts at coaxing me to avail his …

I can’t tell you just how much I love going to my local dollar store. Yes, it’s true, most of the stuff you get there are completely and utterly useless or is made from some country you know should not be making anything remotely food-related, but I am always fascinated …

Bee’s lead a busy life but have a short life span. I discovered that these highly organized insects have a distinct social order like the ants. There are the worker bees that have are noted for the energy and are tasked with gathering pollen all throughout their life. Thus …

I love to use a light, non-drying toner in the summer and winter to refresh my skin. I have dry skin in the winter, so a harsh alcohol based toner does not work for me then, and in the summer when my skin is rather oily, I can use a …

Mucinex has made a great product. Not only do they make medicine for chest congestion that is great but now they have come out with a product called Mucinex Nasal Spray Full Force and it works wonderfully!
I have tried …

Cybex Pro+ Treadmill is one expensive baby! The $6,500 price tag definitely puts it in the expensive, professional kind of equipment category. However, if you’ve got that much money to spend on your exercising equipment, this is one of the best machines available.
The tread is large and long, measuring …

I tend to shy away from optometrists running their own independent practices because I feel as though they are far more expensive than chains. I do have a vision discount plan, but assumed that it would still cost less not to take advantage of it at a discount retail …

I had limited experience with …

Sitting for long hours in front of the computer or even while I was travelling left me with a severe neck pain. Though the pain surfaced mainly around my neck and shoulder area- it did make my whole body tired and stressed. In fact sometimes my pain would become …

I have been having some trouble with my teeth lately. I wanted to have a few bad teeth pulled and implants put in. A friend told me to try going to Swanson and Shelton Family Dentistry in Manchester.
I was very nervous because I had never had an …

Promise toothpaste is very good tooth past which I have ever found. Before I use this I had some problems about my gums and teeth such as pain in my gums and bleeding gums and even the problem of bad breath for some time. After some …

I have always commended Philosophy for their amazing scents. Although lately I have turned to using a lot of natural products with fewer chemicals and detergents, sometimes I have to indulge a little and when I saw this product on clearance, I jumped at it. It looks to have been …

After my girlfriend started to talk in detail about how much she hated to have to shave her legs on a daily basis I told her that I thought that she should get her legs waxed and she said that it would be too painful but she needed to …

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 took advantage of a sale at CVS this week and picked up a box of my favorite anti-aging eye treatment. I had first learned of the Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod System when I had to get camera ready for a family wedding. At that time I …

The concept is very alluring, a gym workout at home, but is it worth the money? Perhaps.
I have a Bowflex Revolution machine. It is seriously swoopy. An impressive gismo. Just about every type machine exercise can be done on this guy. The only exception is for those needing …

I’ve been using Clear Women Softcare Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for more than a year now not because I had dandruff before but because this shampoo brought back moisture and glow to my hair. After dyeing my hair, the damage was undeniably visible. I used to have long, straight black hair …

I’ve always, since I was about fifteen years old (so I guess that’s not really “always”, but you know what I mean) had a complete and utterly impractical fear of the dentist. I had one bad experience and, I’ll admit, have never been back to the dentist save to …

When I learned that the aluminum in mainstream deodorant and antiperspirant formulas was associated with an increased risk of cancer, I became concerned. Two women in my family have had breast cancer, and I do not want to be the third. My problem with most of the natural deodorants I …

When an ophthalmoscopic examination of my eyes revealed a myopia my parents have put great efforts to organize the best cure for my eyes. The process of my cure has begun when I was in the secondary school because children’s eyes are more immediately responsive to proper corrective efforts. …

I have a weakness for home exercise equipment, so once I stumbled upon The Firm Total Body TransFIRMation Kit at TJ Maxx; I knew I had to have it. If you have ever exercised to a firm workout DVD, you may have noticed the special hand weights …
