I have been using the Thermacare Menstrual Pain Relief Heat Wraps a lot recently. I get really terrible menstrual cramps and sometimes the use of painkillers is not enough to really ease all of the pain. I have heard a ton about how heat therapy is useful in reducing …

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 …

Time and again I give hand sanitizers a shot. But my default choice will always be rubbing alcohols. A recent scare, though nothing seriously epidemic, led me back to using alcohols again after an eye infection. I have this mannerism of rubbing my eyes while typing …

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.

I live in a pretty dry climate here in Vegas, and sometimes it feels like my body just isn’t getting any water at all. I’ve had a bottle of water evaporate in my car even, which should tell you exactly how hot and dry it can get here. My …

I have seasonal allergies to unspecified pollen and molds. Sometimes they are mild, but often severe. For my allergies, I have tried just about every kind of prescription and over the counter antihistamine, and none of them are anywhere near as effective for me as Benadryl.
