This is one particular piece of exercise equipment which I find very useful, but not for the intended function as marketed by the manufacturer.
Going against my usual philosophy of not employing the use of electrical equipment that is supposed to substitute any real forms of exercise, I decided to …

In case if you don’t know what an elliptical trainer is, it is, basically, a piece of exercising equipment that you walk on. Ellipticals are different from treadmills: instead of walking on a treadbelt you use two large walking pedals.

I love to try out natural products, and Alba Botanica is a brand I have often chosen. They have original scents, and do not test on animals which is a big deal to me as an animal lover. This passion fruit scented body wash was one that I purchased …

When my partner bought a vacuum from Oreck, this air purifier was an extra “gift” that came with it. It looked really nice and professional and I thought it would be a great machine. The idea of not having to replace filters sounded great… and supposedly it would just …

I really don’t know why I decided to try this product. I have used other products by Hyland’s and was not impressed at all. I like the idea of homeopathic medicine, but I am also aware that it is not regulated, not tested well, and is based on “iffy” …

There are certain things in life that can remind you of the sweetest, most precious memories of your youth. One of those things for me is Luden’s Cough Drops. I will always associate Luden’s Cough Drops with my father because when I was a kid, I had horrible throat problems, …

I actually bought this product to relieve a dry throat rather than a sore one. Well, it was bordering on sore because it was so dry, but it was not a cold or infection that caused the soreness. I love olives and anything that boasts olive leaves or oil, I …

I like having good quality first aid products on hand because I’m an active person for the most part, and depending on the weather, and being outdoors almost always leads to some sort of accident or another that has me ending up with a scratch or cut or bruise. …

A friend told me he was taking Maca as a natural stimulant and really liked the results, so I purchase Medicine Hunter Maca Stimulant tablets at Walmart.

When my kids were younger, I’d tried the Vicks vapor plug-in but found it wasn’t quite strong enough unless you had an electrical outlet right next to your child’s bed, so we didn’t get a whole lot of use out of them, but PediaCare was always just as much …

Ever since the first time I used a sock made with moisturizing gel inside, I was hooked. This is the most effective way to get some serious moisture into your foot’s skin. When I saw this kit was only about twelve dollars on Amazon, I knew I had found a …

I actually received this from a friend and I’m so glad I didn’t buy this when I came across it. The bottle does look nice though, I must give credit for that. And for everything else, it could be better, a lot better I mean. This toner isn’t cheap …

The drug market is flooded with many generic brands of supplements where a small percentage only gets to surface and become recognizable due to adverts. I was surprised by the other unknown brands waiting somehow to be tapped off their shelves. At the moment, I’m taking Pharex’s …

The lotion I found to be a moderately light one, with …

I was suffering from the stomach bug a couple of days ago and could not get it to settle down and I just kept throwing up continually. So, I picked up some of the Peaceful Mountains Stomach Rescue Syrup from my local herbal shop for around eight dollars for …

I have nearsightedness since I was a kid and I’ve always hated wearing glasses because first, it’s a hassle to wear glasses since it blocks my peripheral vision, and second, because it doesn’t always match with my clothes and I look like a geek. I used to buy clear …

I found my new Method 20/20 workout with Jennifer Kries in the most unlikely of places the other day. While I had gone out to pick up some paper products and toothpaste at a local Walgreens, I was unexpectedly and quite pleasantly surprised at the sight of …

I realize it is a bit childish but I have always had somewhat of an issue with brushing my teeth due to the taste and texture of toothpaste. I doubt anyone is as specific about this as I am, but I do not like either gel nor paste a …

I purchased this deodorant shortly after it was introduced. The main thing that attracted me to it was the fact that it included a full sized bottle of the body spray that also comes in this scent. I normally purchase Secret, Suave, or Teen Spirit deodorants since …

I first came across the Fitterfirst Soft Board Advanced while I was in physical therapy for an injury I had and let me tell you it was the one thing in that room that I hated. It is not an easy piece of equipment to just up and try, …

Last year was not a good year for me in terms of dental health, particularly my gums. During a routine check up my dentist was concerned about the early onset of gingivitis. She recommended that I use Colgate Periogard. According to my dentist it’s supposed to be …

Taking care of my teeth and mouth is very important for me. When I had a few tooth problems, that’s when I came to realize that proper care of the teeth should be given attention. Of course, I make sure that I brush my teeth every morning, and in …

I already had a sun burn when I bought this sun block. I had been outside for six straight hours and whatever sun block on had put on previously obviously didn;t work because I got a pretty serious sun burn. I went into my university convenient store and looked …

I honestly can’t leave my house from about May until October without getting positively chewed up by mosquitos. They are particularly bad this year because of the sudden and warm, humid weather we’ve had, and I can see them swarming around my back porch light. It’s disgusting. They sometimes …

Do you shop at BJ’s Wholesale Warehouse? I shop there every week. In the beginning I only bought the name brands that I was familiar with. Overtime, I have been trying some of their own brand items. Their trade name is Berkley & Jensen.
Last week I decided to switch …

The last time I went shopping for feminine products, I ended up trying something new. I have used Tampax products in the past, but have never tried this particular product. I was in my local Albertson’s grocery store, when I noticed that the Tampax Super Absorbency Tampons with Unique …

I dreaded anytime I catch a cold, particularly when that cold features a nasty sore throat. In the past, while sucking on a lozenger or two they never seemed to last for very long.
The sprays were even worse. I could never quite figure out how they work when you …

I have been trying to lose weight for most of my life. Various friend and relatives will buy well meaning gifts to assist me in my efforts. This product was one of those well meaning gifts. I got it for a birthday present, and when I first saw it, I …

When I read …

I love the original Emergen-C Vitamin C powder nutritional supplement. First of all, it’s highly affective. I’ve noticed a heightened state of mood and productivity after using them. Best of all you don’t need to use them daily in order for them to gradually become effective; after the first …

I have a sanitizer for my regular toothbrushes, but I wanted to use a battery powered one again and it will not fit in the sanitizer. When I saw this brush I thought it would be the perfect solution. It has anti-microbial bristles that keep the number of germs down …

I bought this little jar of blue analgesic in a dollar store. I had run out of Mineral Ice, which is the product it is obviously intended to imitate. Sometimes, it is blatantly obvious just how simple a product is, and how you can be fooled into overpaying amazing amounts …

Recently we had to take our son Kurt to the Hospital for an operation on his hand to open up the muscle by his thumb to allow it to move more freely. The hospital that were doing the operation was the Birmingham Children’s Hospital. The hospital is …

I always keep a box of plasters with me for just about anything. Lately, however, I have been using them more often than normal because of my hands which are infected. Because the hands are over washed or have been immersed so often in the water, I get …

I’ve been a fan of Neutrogena products for many years now. I was introduced, by a friend of mine, to their cream cleanser face wash, and have used it religiously for about five years, and find that it’s really helped control my breakouts a lot. I’ve always suffered from …
