I enrolled in this gym because I was not contented with my previous gym. I feel that the place was small, they did not introduce anything new, there was no spa and all. Fitness First has lots of branches in Manila and in Cebu. This was my main consideration …

Not only does the body skin dry up during the cold season but so do the lips. Like everyone else, I get the problem of dry, chapped lips which often crack and bleed when left untreated or unmoisturized. Although wearing cosmetic lipsticks
can ameliorate the condition, there is no substitute …

I love lip balm, especially those made with natural ingredients. Since I had tried some of Honeybee Garden’s body powder, I wanted to see how their beeswax lip balm was. The formula was great—“ it has beeswax, coconut oil, jojoba, sweet almond oil, and vitamin E. All of those ingredients …

Who of us hasn’t had trouble sleeping once in awhile? When you do have problems it can be aggravating to say the least. For whatever reason, we can choose to either go to our family doctor or look for something over-the-counter.
That is how I ended up buying the Equate …

I bought the Schwinn Active 10 Series Upright Exercise Bike by Schwinn for $300 online. My previous bike was old and I thought of replacing it. I bought it because I thought it had a good design and was versatile. I like it.
I bought it online last January 2010. …

When I go to the chemist to buy some talcum powder I have to admit that I don’t usually pick up a tin of Yardleys English rose talcum, more often than not I buy a stores own brand or some Johnson’s baby powder. One of the first things to take …

Now that the rains have begun, I worry about the numerous mosquitoes that abound around the house. When we were still living in West Africa, this has become a paranoia for me. The continent was so disadvantaged in terms of medical facilities and healthcare that I would panic everytime …
