I have always been a big fan of Secret deodorant/antiperspirants. I use them regularly, especially the sheer invisible solids.

When I was having some serious hip and lower back pain, I was sent to physical therapy. One of the things used for me there was a TENS unit. (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)

I have, my entire life, been a complete klutz. There’s not a whole lot I haven’t accidentally managed to do to myself over the years that has either required a doctor, a hospital or, at the very least, some home medical attention. My latest “mishap” was when I was …

I’ll admit it. Having suffered from weight problems almost my entire life, I’m a total sucker for those lose-weight-quick pills. I’ve definitely tried my fair share of them over the years, and usually it’s with little to no results. But does that stop me from trying more? Of course …

No, it isn’t High Endurance. I have tried a few different Old Spice products, and I have never been satisfied with any of them. This is not an anti-perspirant, it’s more like a cologne or a —˜smell-good’ product. The smell is wonderful, I’ll admit, but that’s all you’re going …
