Weleda Almond Soothing Cleansing Lotion 2.5 oz
I have combination skin. In the winter it is dry, and requires much gentler care, especially where cleansers are concerned. In the summer I can get away with using whatever kind of cleanser I want to, but in the winter it has to be something very mild, and often anything …
Benefit Triple Performing Facial Emulsion SPF 15 PA

Verilux Sanitizing Wand,with Clean Wave Technology

Crystal Light Hunger Satisfaction diet supplement
I am not a fan of diet supplements or even products which claim to suppress hunger. I find that eating less and exercising more is about as simple and effective a way to control weight that there is. I had recently been injured, and without being able to exercise, …

A trip to Thailand is not complete without getting a massage. On our recent trip to Thailand, my friends and I were looking for a good place to get one. Very lucky for us, Ensogo Thailand had a deal for Pai Spa, at THB 590 (USD 19.50) …
Toe Juice Skin Treatment with DermaVine 4.6 oz

Sensodyne Pronamel Daily Mouthwash
One of the reasons I like using this Sensodyne Pronamel mouthwash is because it seems to be pretty powerful but at the same time it is not too harsh. Some mouthwashes have that —˜blowing your head off’ effect when my eyes start to water and I am in …
Ironmaster Quicklock Dumbells
I own a pair of Ironmaster Quicklock dumbells. These are dumbells which have an adjustable pin so that you merely have to just change the pin placement to change the weight of the dumbell.
This is one of the best investments I have made. I used to own many pairs …

Dr. Scholl’s Moleskin Plus Roll Padding

Calamine Lotion by Swan

Bath & Body Works Exotic Coconut Body Cream
Every time I go to the mall, I always find myself stopping in Bath & Body Works just to see if they are having a sale, or to see if there are any new scents out. I’ve tried most of their coconut scents, but the first time I …
Ducray Anacaps Reactiv Food Supplement for Hair and Nails
My dermatologist advised me to take Anacaps Reactiv in order to stop my annoying problem with hair loss. He explained me that the main factor which determines hair loss is the deficiency of vitamins and minerals. Like our bodies, our strands require nutrients to grow strong and healthy. When it …
Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser
A couple months ago, I’ve been breaking out getting acne and on top of that, having dry, oily skin; in my point of view, one of the worse combinations! I was walking through Shoppers and came across the Neutrogena Wave Power-Cleanser and decided to give it a try. I …
Avalon Baby Silky Cornstarch Baby Powder 2.5 oz
I love to use a powder in the summer to help prevent wetness, rashes and chafing. In the past, I used talc based powders, but after learning the dangers of talc and its association with cancers and lung problems, I switched to the much safer corn starch powders.
Using …
L’Oreal Go 360 Clean Facial Cleanser
I recently went to the grocery store, needing some face wash, and was intrigued by a new product on the market - L’Oreal’s Go 360 Clean. Now I am not typically a sucker for advertising gimmicks, but this bottle of colored gel with a “hairy” silicone oval stuck …

Supreme Protein Peanut Butter Crunch bars
I try to stick to a high protein, low carb diet during the spring and summer months when I am more active. I don’t always succeed, mainly because it’s difficult to find quality foods or meal-replacement products that are high in protein and actually taste good. Often, …
Karen Voight: Ultimate Step Circuit DVD
Recently, I was asked why had gained a few pounds. Never mind that the question was posed by my Nintendo Wii, I suppose a gaming console can get away with questions friends and family wouldn’t dare. So, there I stood barefoot and dejected atop my balance board …
Feroglobin
Feroglobin is a liquid tonic which is part of my daily vitamin routine. This particular medicine is good for females to use because it is specifically made to target the formation of new red blood cells.

Avon ADVANCE TECHNIQUES 2-in-1 Healthy Shine Shampoo & Conditioner

CleanSleeve Toilet Seat Covers 10 ct pack
I have already written about how horrible disposable tissue toilet seat covers are… now let me share a much better alternative.
These are unlike the thin, wispy, “useless against anything stronger than still air” toilet covers that you get in public restrooms—“ you know, the ones with the little piece still …
Johnson and Johnson Soft lenses
Johnson and Jonson soft lenses, a very soft and comfortable eye wear which feels completely natural and doesn’t cause any kind of irritation or reddishness when we wear it. My eye site was weak from a very tender age and with time it started increasing rapidly. I am just …
Neutrogena Lip Boost Intense Moisture Therapy

Bee Rescued Propolis Toothpaste 8 oz
I have a problem using the vast majority of mint flavored toothpastes in the mainstream market. The mint flavors are too strong, and burn my mouth and tongue to the point that I am so uncomfortable, I will stop brushing too soon. Obviously this is not good …
Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Cloths
There are few things in life that I adore as much as the Philosophy beauty and health product line. It’s one of the most consistently delightful, insightful and powerful products out there on the market today, in my humble opinion, and I have been a fan for over a decade …
Everlast Slimming Back Belt
Not long after a friend of mine gave me the Everlast Twist Board, which I’ve already reviewed, I figured I’d try some more of the Everlast product line, especially considering they are remarkably affordable. Of course, some of their products seem rather gimmicky, and I’ll admit that this is …

Relief Band Explorer Motion Sickness Device, Reusable

Kiss My Face Grassy Mint Peace Foaming Soap 8 oz
I love to buy self foaming soaps for my kitchen sink. I became addicted to them after discovering Method’s varieties, and now I have tried several other brands as well. While a lot of natural products are sulfate free and rely on coco-betaine for foaming ability, some are actually natural …
Spring Valley Stevia All Natural Herb Dietary Supplement
I am a little confused at why this is marketed as a nutritional supplement and not a sweetener, but obviously it is intended as a sweetener, since I do not know of any condition it treats, other than bitter coffee syndrome.
Being diabetic, I am usually one of the first ones …
