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 like Jason products in general. They make more natural alternatives to some of the mainstream chemical laden hair and body products, they have interesting scent combinations, and they don’t test on animals. They are not 100% perfect, but I do have confidence in them.
When I saw …

I don’t particularly like using products on my skin that contain questionable chemicals and pesticides; however as far as repelling mosquitoes goes, this is the only type of repellent that works for me. It is a going joke in my family that no one else will get a …

I will be perfectly honest and tell you that I picked up the wrong package when I went to the store to get tissues. I wanted just the regular type tissue but picked up a box that had lotion in the tissue. I decided not to exchange it because …

I’m not sure there’s a woman alive who doesn’t have at least some small problem with the way she looks. Granted, she may look completely fine to the rest of us, but we all nitpick about our own appearance and there’s always something we’d change about ourselves. I have …

Popularly marketed as “the non-acidic vitamin C,” Fern-C definitely sets itself apart from so many brand names that contain the same thing: ascorbic acid. I suppose I’m never too old to give up on my daily dose of Vitamin C. Out of all the ascorbic acid supplements …
