I have to say that the fact that this was a spray was the real reason I gave Rescue Sleep Spray a shot. It seemed a convenient size to carry with you and easy enough to use. See, I’ve suffered from sleep-related problems since my youth. Even sleep-walking runs …

At Easter, one of the treats I was given at a party was this lip balm. I love lip balms, especially ones with fun flavors, and this one was great. Although it bears the Peeps trademark name, it is not a real peep flavor that it uses. And, there are …

I moved to Michigan about eight years ago, and since then, every fall, I get severe allergies. Now I’ve noticed that, aside from the outdoor-variety of allergens that bombard me every year, I’m starting to become super-sensitive to other things like cat hair and/or pet dander in general (which …

Ever since I learned about the aluminum in most antiperspirant
products causing an increased cancer risk, I have been looking for a
natural alternative. I have found a few that work moderately well,
but none that are good enough to replace the standard mainstream
products I have been using for years, like Secret.
…

Since the turn of the economy, I’ve cut back on my once a month spa weekends–unless I’m traveling and the hotel I’m staying at offers spa services. To invest money elsewhere, I’ve started doing my own spa treatments at home, and my favorite self-service is a pedicure.
I had become …

Once when he …

I have fibromyalgia, and have become a connoisseur of pain treatments including topical ones. Many of them rely on a counter-irritant effect, which would be the sensation created on the skin by strong menthol products and similar mild irritants—“ they create a new sensation, and distract the nerves from …

Okay, so just two weekends ago, I spent the day outside with some friends at a day-camp type of thing at a park we’ve been to a number of times. We had vendors set up and were cooking over the fire and it was generally a good time. I …

When my doctors suspected I had lupus, part of the reason it was mentioned was because of a redness on both of my cheeks. It did not look exactly like the “butterfly” rash seen in lupus, but I guess it was close enough to give them pause since I had …

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 …

I have long been a fan of heated rice packs and microwavable sinus pillows, booties, mittens, and anything else that gives warmth that you can relax with without being tied …

I have very fair skin, which is one reason I use strong protection when in the sun. Another reason is that I was told a long time ago that I could have a mild case of lupus, and that some lupus patients were photosensitive. This means that the sun …

To sum the 5×5 method up, …

Like many people I had a valid gym membership which, if I’m honest, I did not get full value out of. I was a frequent user in the spring and the summer, although as soon the clocks went back and the temperature dropped I found that my motivation …

I am a huge fan of Dove products. I like just about everything they come out with, and have used a few of their antiperspirants and was generally pleased.

Ok here is the deal with this cushion. I have back problems at a young age. I won’t reveal my age but I will say that it’s shame that I’m so young with such an issue. Now I went and I spent a couple bucks on a cushion that …
