What I hate most about summers are the bugs. I can not stand the insects, especially the mosquitoes, they are absolutely merciless! Even in an urbanized area with air conditioning and tightly sealed off areas, the mosquitoes find some way to bite you. Imagine how I must have felt …

I know these cotton wool pads from Morrisons were the cheapest they had available but I cannot remember the exact price. They were really cheap anyway and I find that they are great for removing eye make-up and not so great on larger areas such as my whole …

I like to use a variety of massage oils and body oils. As a treatment for the painful and sometimes debilitating symptoms of fibromyalgia, my partner is kind enough to give me regular massages when needed. We have made a hobby of using different combinations to see what works best, …

A long time ago, when these strips first came on the market, I remember buying them and viewing the junk inside my nose pores with morbid curiosity. Back then I was using them more as a novelty than actually needing them. Recently, I noticed my nose pores looked …

The little bottle of 5-Hour Energy Grape Dietary Supplement packs a lot of energy. So I like to refer to it as the small but terrible energy supplement.
I discovered it on one of my quick trips to the supermarket, finding it at the check out counter beside the …

When my dentist told me that I would be needing to irrigate the pockets where I had developing gum disease, I was a little intimidated by all the products out there. I ended up with a WaterPik device, which I had some difficulty with and returned but never bought another …

Listerine has never really been my thing. I tried the original and was scared away from it since then. I have used Scope and other lighter mouthwashes. I was having a problem with my gums being too sensitive and wanted to find something that would strengthen my gums and …

Blame it on my parents but I have needed glasses since the second grade, although it wasn’t until I was almost in fifth grade that I finally got a pair. I resisted so long because I just hated the idea of having to wear glasses. I had always prided on …

Welcome to the cold, flu, sinus and allergy season. I have sinus problems year-round, actually, but winter weather only makes the problem worse. Even when I take over-the-counter medicine, the cold and the damp wreck my sinuses.
Cleanup duties are necessary. Lately, I’ve been blowing my nose at least two, …

I know there are many drinks on the market that claim to keep your system hydrated and to keep your elecrolites in order. I have tried many of these, am allergic to many, and/also, I can’t stand the taste of some of them. Many have so many ‘bad’ things, …

I bought this spin spa sometime last year. I thought it would be relaxing and feel good on my body. Overall it is an alright product but it could be much better.

I purchased this mat, assuming that it would provide really intense physical sensations. I was disappointed. I have tried a few of the shiatsu type massagers, and I suppose that I have been spoiled by the effect they render. At any rate, the massaging mat is …

Before I tried and fell in love with an Aubrey Organics product used to control oil, I found this grapefruit oil-control cream by MyChelle. I have a t-zone shiny enough to flag down planes from the sky if the sun hits it just right, and usually that spells disaster …

Although I do of course know the saying “you get what you pay for” when it came to a twenty-dollar gym membership, I chose to ignore it and believe that it was just a good deal. As most gyms in New York city run around $80-$100 per month, this …

I have …

I’m kind of a big baby when it comes to getting sick, especially where congestion is concerned. I was sick not too long ago and it was all in my head and my nose was running like a leaky faucet for days on end. After the very first day …

I had a terrible stomach bug and the medicine the doctor prescribed to help ease it simply was not working for me and nor was the over the counter medicines, ginger ale or ice chips. I ended up going to my local health food store and asking the herbalist …

Vicks VapoRub is one of the products that has been around forever, it seems. I have used Vicks VapoRub on my children, my mother used Vicks VapoRub on me, and I am sure that my mother’s mother used Vicks VapoRub on her. Why? Because Vicks VapoRub is a wonderful …

These eye drops are the best I have tried so far. They immediately relieve dry eyes, and come in an attractive bottle! They don’t sting my eyes and they don’t smell like anything, and the liquid looks just like water. I really like this because if it did any …

I bought Gaiam Prosperity Yoga Mat for around $12 online. Here is my review.
I liked this yoga mat because it proved to be good, reliable and pretty durable. Its diameters are 24″W x 68″ L, which was more than enough to support my height. It was advised …

I’m a huge fan of Tylenol. Our family always have a box of them in our house. Tylenol is the only brand we use for headaches and other aches. I work a lot and I have to deal with my two cute naughty kids and that’s why I have …

I have ridiculously pale skin. And I don’t mean that I’m just pale. I mean that, on certain days, I might look positively corpse-like, and I’m just not sure how long I can keep telling myself that “pale is in this season”. I’ve tried tanning beds and sun tanning …

I recently received a new Freestyle Freedom Blood Glucose Monitoring System from my Father. As it promised virtually pain-free testing, and several features not found on my previous glucose meter, I was pretty curious to see how it stacked up against the One Touch Ultra we had …

I have been using Colgate tooth powder since a couple of years. Now a day everybody prefers to use tooth paste and so this powder is not so much in demand. I have been using this tooth powder since a long time and am very happy with it.
Colgate tooth …

I use essential oils to make massage blends, lotions and bath salts. I don’t normally order scents that I don’t like, but I made an exception when I needed to make a gift for someone who happens to love rose fragrances. I have never been a fan of rose smells …
