Blue Goo Cracked Heel Skin Softener

Walgreens Isopropyl Alcohol 70% Wipes

Solocare Aqua Contact Lens Solution
I use contact lenses quite a lot, and I have used Septocare for the longest time. However, with Septocare I have to use separate cleansing solution, separate rinsing solution, etc. So I looked for a multipurpose solution that can do all these things at the same time.
I bought Solocare …
Earth Therapeutics Wooden Foot File

Country Life Maxi Hair Release Supplement
I paid about $10 for this supplement that it is designed to replenish the hair, nails, and skin. Although I have never really experienced a major problem with baldness, lately I have noticed that I have some areas of my head (mostly around the temples of my head) …
Alba Organics Advanced Sea Kelp Facial Toner 6oz
I like to use a gentle toner year round when my face needs to be freshened up a bit. I prefer that it not be drying, so that it will not irritate my combination skin, and not be too moisturizing in the summer. I have tried a variety of toners, …
Calgon Moisturizing Bubble Bath in Ocean Breeze
One of the worst bubble bath products I have ever used was the Calgon Moisturizing Bubble Bath in Ocean Breeze. It has a really strong nasty scent to it that I couldn’t even describe, but kind of gave me a headache and got me sneezing a lot. The bubble …
CVS Kids Anticavity Fluoride Rinse Bubble Gum 16 oz
My neighbor has a young son who I often babysit. When she bought some CVS bubble gum flavored fluoride rinse for him, he refused to use it, so she gave it to me. It might seem like a strange thing to do- but she knows of my dental hygiene idiosyncrasies. …

Curad Bandages Extra Long

Emerita Menstrual Comfort Cream 2 oz
I was offered this cream by a relative when I complained of menstrual cramps. She said it didn’t work too well for her but I was welcome to try it, so I took it home. Without really reading the label, I slathered some on my lower back and belly, in …
Head & Shoulders Shampoo
It’s an embarrassing subject, but because I live in such a dry climate, I do suffer from occasional dandruff. It’s not so bad that I have my entire scalp peeling off, but it is bad enough that if I am not careful, my forehead will have peeling flakes that even …
Suave Invisible Solid Soothing Lavender Lilac Deodorant
I have been using the Suave Invisible Solid Soothing Lavender Lilac Deodorant. I have not been very pleased with it because it didn’t work well at all. However, it did have a lovely scent to it, but it was more lilac scent with a hint of lavender. It is …
CVS Cough Drops
The CVS brand of cough drops actually work relatively well, although they are eclipsed in both strength and speed when compared with the Recola brand. I purchased these once because they were on sale for one dollar and ninety-nine cents for a pack of eighty cough drops. I felt …

Rainbow Light Candida Cleanse Food Based Tablets 120 tablets

Halls Defense Citrus Flavored Vitamin C Lozenges

Binaca Breath Spray - Peppermint
Binaca Breath Spray - Peppermint is something that I tried once but I most definitely will not try again. The primary reason I will not purchase this product again is because it quite simply does not seem to last all that long in its battle against bad breath germs. …
CorProfen Topical Headache Relief 50 ml
A friend and I share a common link- we both get the occasional miserable migraine, and will try anything to get rid of it. Hers are worse than mine, and I dare say she will try anything a little more readily than I will. Having diabetes, fibromyalgia, and IBS and …
Mack’s Safe Sound Slim Fit Soft Foam Earplugs 10 pair

Icy Hot Extra Strength Pain Relieving Chill Stick

However, since Secret has come out with …
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein

Katinko ointment for muscle pains
I am a person who loves to bring ointment everywhere I go. One ointment that I always use is “KATINKO” ointment. It is a Chinese ointment, I believe. It is a green menthol paste ointment similar to some known ointment in other country like tigerbalm or whiteflower. I think …

Dentiste’ Plus White Nighttime Herbapeutic Toothpaste
I have seen the Dentiste’ Plus White Nighttime Herbapeutic Toothpaste a lot of times at the drugstores but never really paid much attention to it as I was quite satisfied with my Colgate Total toothpaste. Moreover the design of the packaging for the Dentiste’ Plus Toothpaste was not …
Johnson & Johnson All-Purpose First Aid Kit 170 Items
I have to say that I’m a little addicted to the idea of being well-prepared when it comes to medical emergencies. I may not be able to suture an open wound, but I can promise you I’ll come as close as possible. I have several different kinds of splints, …
Ricola Honey Lemon & Echinacea Cough Drops
For some reason this year and this particular summer, my throat has just gone haywire with swelling and feeling like I have been a fire-eater for the last two decades. It’s weird because when I was younger, I always had the worst allergies and was heavily prone to having Strep …
Natures Bounty Apple Cider Vinegar Diet Tablets 90ct

Miracle of Aloe Miracle Foot Repair Cream

Crystal Vision Matrix Supplement
So it was a total shot in the dark when I decided to buy this supplement, the Crystal Vision Matrix which is supposed to help improve over-all eye health. I went through this whole kick for a while when I was buying all these homeopathic drink mixes and such …
Scope Mouthwash
I used to use Scope mouthwash for bad breath. I no longer do because now I use two other mouthwashes that fight bad breath plus provide other oral health benefits. There are other reasons I stopped using Scope mouthwash though. Scope mouthwash contains alcohol and I didn’t like the …
Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado Oil Shower Gel 16.9 oz
I have loved Crabtree and Evelyn products ever since I was introduced to them through a little gift store on the NJ shore which sold their lines. Since I have moved away from there, there are very few local stores that carry the full line of products, so when …
Huntington’s Disease

Burt’s Bees Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub 4 oz
I bought this Burt’s Bees scrub after smelling it in the store and loving the sweet peachy smell.

Oral-B Pro-Health Battery Toothbrush Dual Clean
I’ve been a fan of the Crest Spinbrush since they came on the market. I love having a semi-disposable sort of powered brush. I get the cleaning of an electric, but it is more portable, and when it gets old or malfunctions, or even gets too dirty– I just …
Burt’s Bees Doctor Burt’s Res-Q Ointment
Over the past two years (that’s when I was first introduced to Burt’s Bees products, even though it’s been around forever), I have used just about every Burt’s Bees product imagineable. I don’t like the fact that these products are extremely expensive, especially when I’ve trained myself to shop …
Korres Fig Natural Shower gel 13.53 oz
I ordered this shower gel because it is unusual to see a fig fragrance, and I fell in love with one that Pier One made called “fresh fig.” I ordered it without having smelled it, which is always a risk, but it was interesting looking so I went for …
Kiss My Face Organic Treat-Mint Lip Balm .15 oz
After using the vanilla honey Kiss my Face lip balm, I was sold on the brand. I wanted a mint flavored balm too, because I like the tingle it gives the lips and it helps you feel like your breath is fresher for some reason. I was every bit …
