At one point it seemed as if nearly every major fitness trainer or discipline that …

When I saw this product, I had great plans for it. I thought it would be a perfect alternative to regular body oils, which are drippy, greasy and messy. A gel formula seemed like it would be light, absorb easily, and be a convenient alternative. I thought since it …

I have used baby lotion as a facial skin cleanser off and on since I was an adolescent as, not only it is incredibly cheap, but it is very pleasant to use and effective too. I do not know how many other women would think of using baby …

I love trying out natural brands of soaps, especially when made by true soap artisans that take their craft seriously. Alpenglow is based in Alaska, and I recently discovered their site when a friend recommended one of their massage oils. While I was there, I looked into their soaps as …

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 …

With my youngest child, everything is an exaggeration. Such was the case when she was stung by a bee (like myself the previous week) and she was rushing back into the house with such hysterics that I could not figure out what was wrong with her. Clutching her arm …

One winter when I was getting tired of constantly washing my hands and reapplying lotion when working with a friend in re-homing some animals, I decided to bring some hand sanitizer with me. It was great not to have to wash as frequently, but the problem was that the …

I’ve always been a fan of Aquafresh, ever since I was a kid because for some reason my grandmother only bought Aquafresh toothpaste when I was a kid. And whatever grandma bought, that’s what you used. And there is something very soothing about seeing that strip of red, white and …

I bought another of Eo’s bubble baths and absolutely loved it, so I am surprised to say that I love this one even more. I have had a lot of lavender scented bath products. They are normally sold for relaxation purposes as lavender is the quintessential chill-out fragrance. I’ve seen …

I am ex-smoker, and when the smoke had some bronchitis care. Furthermore, having a par pharmacy is easy to get anything. And here’s why: people are cold, cough, feel unwell. Then think: I will approach the herbalist to see what I get. And Vienna. And to show what they …

I like to buy interesting lip balms, and this was one that I actually bought more as a joke than anything. It is a “high-powered” lip balm with caffeine, taurine, and B-12. To suggest that the effects of these substances could manifest in any meaningful way through a mere lip …

When I was shopping recently in a Bargain Town store, I happened to see a roll on antiperspirant/deodorant that I had never tried. It was Tussy roll on, with the red cap. I knew it had been around for years, as I had seen it on the shelves many …
