I have never been the type who would even consider buying an electric toothbrush. Something about them just strikes me as lazy. But I do have to say that my experience using the Oral-B Cross Action Power Toothbrush has changed my views on electric toothbrushes (the one I …

This unusual product is a soap that does not lather. LaLicious is probably the only “soap” I have ever used that does not lather at all. It is more like a cream cleanser. (In fact, I do not know why they call it soap.) This attracted me because of its …

I have thin nails that grow long easily, and I like to keep them long. I am not exactly a nail biter. I’m more of a nail chewer. When I am concentrating on something, or if something is making me nervous, I will unconsciously put a longer portion of a …

I have horrible vision and had to wear glasses for the longest time. Even when I entered high school and my friends started getting contact lenses, I could not and did not get them as well. I was too scared to touch my eyes or put any thing in …

Awhile back, a friend called me on the phone and asked—“ “Don’t you use thickening stuff on your hair?” Oh yes, I do and I will try anything. My hair is thinning quickly on top and I give every new product a chance. I’ve tried many different brands, both …

I don’t normally use cleansing pads, since I use either a foaming face wash or Noxzema cream to wash my face at night, and I rarely feel the need to remove make-up before then. My skin seems to do well with this routine. Someone recently bought me some of the …

I’ve been using Enervon C Multivitamins for 2 years now, however, I am not really seeing any significant effect of the supplement to my body. Since I started working in a call center, I had lost 13 lbs and still didn’t regain it. Another thing I notice about myself …

I picked up a bottle of this body mist in the store today because I liked the name of the fragrance. “Olive leaf and Pink Pepper” just sounded really unique. I have enjoyed olive leaf inspired scents from other companies, like the Thymes. I think I expected this …

Who doesn’t want whiter teeth in 2 minutes? Certainly, this product is such a tease. Apart from that, the affordable price of Paula’s Choice Brighten Up teeth whitener convinced me to spend a little of my cash. The whitening stick involves simple instructions that, in comparison …

I bought this toothbrush after seeing it on sale in a weekly ad paper. I have been using the Spin-brush and battery run disposable brushes for years, but I thought I would finally bite the bullet and try a rechargeable one. This one doesn’t take up much room, which was …

I sometimes think I like the idea of a detox and cleanse kind of product. It always sounds appealing, especially if it is after a holiday and I have been eating like a maniac, and not always the healthiest of foods. I always need to lose extra weight, and being …

I have been using soft contact lenses for over 10 years and since eyes are very sensitive, choosing the right cleaning solution is critical for me.

I have a sensitivity to the strong mint flavors in most commercial toothpastes, so I usually end up using kid’s flavors, or natural products that offer milder flavors. This allows me to brush more comfortably, so that I end up brushing longer. I have tried a lot of different brands …

Condoms are well known these days and are very helpful in lot many ways. My first child is just nine months old and I am also a workingwoman, so I don’t want to conceive so early. But I am also afraid of the side effects of contraceptive pills and …

This is a lotion that I really hate because it really made my skin very itchy and I’ve had rashes from using it while I’m pregnant. I particularly used this product because the label says it can prevent the appearance of stretchmarks during pregnancy but it so untrue …

Anyone who has ever suffered a severe urinary tract infection can understand why you’d want to do everything you can to prevent them. I’ve heard about the cranberry cure for years, but assumed it was an “old wives tale.”
What I have learned more recently is that …

I have had a few problems with my feet, and they don’t occur often. I know it happens because of the moisture that is often trapped in my shoes. I have wide feet and already find shoes very uncomfortable. I do not often wear socks, because I felt hat …

After a lot of my family and friends started hinting on my hunched back and incorrect posture, I had started feeling a little depressed. Since I am a person with not very great height, I now felt a little awkward whenever I walked or stood along in a group …

As well as being physically beneficial, I love the way it makes me …

I have fibromyalgia and use a variety of natural therapies to combat the painful symptoms. One of my favorites is a nice massage. I find that having a caring partner to massage your sore muscles, or even non-sore muscles, can bring not only relief but ongoing improvement in your quality …

As someone who has been fortunate enough to be slim for most of my life, due to daily fitness and (mostly) healthy eating, I have become downright cynical of the diet industry, and I believe very strongly that most diet programs, while rarely working, take advantage of peoples’ desire …

It is very true that fiber can help you reduce weight and it also helps you to have a healthy digestive system. I am a health conscious person inside and out and I take care of my body. Not only do I apply moisturizers to make myself look good, …

I work in an industry in which I’m around people all day every day. My boss isn’t exactly the understanding sort who, upon catching cold, is okay with you calling in sick. We have a limited staff, so when someone calls in sick, it’s very difficult to find anyone …

I got a complete pampering kit of Ooh La Spa from my brother. It includes a 250 ml tube of body wash, a 200 ml body butter, and a 180 ml cologne. Every time my brother and sister-in-law would vacation here, I always notice their distinct smell, …

I am not a big fan of thongs. I have never found them to be comfortable, and generally I would not wear them on a day when I thought I might be having my period. However, since I was given some as a gift, and it seemed like the logical …
