I had seen some commercials advertising Listerine Pocket Packs. I’m not really a fan of Listerine, but wanted something to keep my mouth fresh. I don’t really like to chew gums, because they seem to be a mouth distraction. Plus a lot of people think that women chomping on …

I was given a bottle of this by someone who did not like it. They had bought it, decided it was not what they thought it would be, tried it once, and gave it away.
While I can’t say that it is my favorite product ever, I think …

I absolutely love mint. I gravitate towards mint in anything: foods, lotions, you name it. Peppermint oil is an essential oil and, unlike most others, tends to be more expensive. I’m not sure why but for me it’s worth every penny. Peppermint is a very invigorating essential oil. You …

I moved to Michigan with my husband some eight years ago, and because employment was difficult to find and my children were still so young and it would’ve been pointless for me to find a part-time job when my paycheck would’ve gone to daycare, I ended up being a …

I used to have a medium-small sea sponge that I used for washing my face at the sink. It was about the size of a bar of soap. I loved the way it felt on my skin and kept it for a long time, but it finally fell …

I sometimes suffer from dry throat, and when there is no slippery elm to be found, I have resorted to a few other alternatives, like these throat drops from Ricola. Unlike their strong mentholated cough drops, these have a gentle, light tingly bit of menthol, but mostly they are flavorful …

I always believed that my hands and legs were the most overworked part of my body. While my hands did all the rough work, my feet seemed to take up all my body weight for the day. The main problem with me was the more longer I was on …

Finding an all-natural toothpaste, particularly an all-natural toothpaste you’re going to like, is not necessarily an easy task, especially after a lifetime of using commercial toothpastes. Given my previous experiences with Green Beaver products, I was happy to give their all-natural toothpaste a try and I decided to start …

This was one of the easiest exercise machines that I have ever owned. I wanted something that I knew I would get use out of and also something that was not so hard. The Gazelle Freestyle Elite filled the bill. It was what I needed. I don’t have the …

I have mixed feelings about Gold Bond Body Powder. I have heard so much about it on tv that I thought I would give it a shot. So I bought a travel size bottle ( 1 ounce) for less than $1 at Wal-mart.
On the bottle it says …

My teeth are pale yellow and look very ugly, I tried all kind of toothpastes and even consulted a dentist regarding my pale teethes but nothing of the helps. The doctor told me to clean my teeth artificially in his clinic but even that didn’t help and it remained …

I wouldn’t exactly say I’m a sickly person. In fact, prior to moving to Michigan, I would get a yearly flu, around September, and after a week or two I was right as rain and wouldn’t have another problem until the following September. It was like clock work. But, …

Initially I did not want to try this diet pill because of the large amount of caffine contained in it. The plus side to these pills is that they contain the natural ingrediant called Hoodia found in South Africa. Hoodia supresses your appetite and I found that it did …

My daughter was feeling sick and was coughing really bad and had a bad stuffy nose to the point where she was not sleeping good enough. I had contacted my daughter’s pediatrician, but they was pretty much book for the day and was not able to see her till …

First off, I always treat the bold claims of manufacturers with a healthy dose of cynicism. When treatments at your dentist involve chemical bleaching, or laser whitening (that’s practically science-fiction) how can a simple toothpaste make any difference? So I certainly didn’t buy this toothpaste because I want to …

The fact that I am not one of those who have very strong legs, standing on my feet for more then 15- 20 minutes often left me with severe pain in my leg, thus making me feel just uncomfortable and uneasy. In fact if ever I failed to treat …

I remember when I first tried these. I …

I love having first aid kits, especially easily portable or small ones that I can carry with my on day trips to places like the zoo or park with my friends and kids. My friends joke about my preparedness for emergencies to such an extent that, as a gag, …

This simple organic lip balm is one I picked up when I had forgotten to bring a chapstick with me when I was on vacation. It has shea butter, olea oil (whatever that is) beeswax and lanolin. That’s a pretty basic formula that should be hard to screw up!
Amazingly, …

I love the smell of eucalyptus. It can be a little over-powering in certain instances but if used in the correct capacity, the smell can really be seriously relaxing. I experience back and shoulder pain pretty much on a daily basis and nothing much is going to fix it …
