Last October, I went on a weekend-long trip to Vegas to visit a friend of mine while she got married. It was a nice trip, but I have to say I wasn’t at all prepared for the flight home, which was a red-eye 11pm flight, until 5am. It would …

I have never had a scale in my house, and I have always maintained my weight without one. It wasn’t until I recently had a doctors appiontment where I had gained about 15 pounds that I decided I needed to buy a scale to monitor my weight more closely. …

About a week ago, I was over at a friend’s house and after we had done our regular weekly shopping, we decided that we deserved some well-earned time and luxury that can only mean one thing: the hot tub. Luckily she lives in a nice condo development and had a …

Now this was an interesting looking bandage, and I was absolutely positive it would work for me. Or rather, for my son. He had, a few years ago, fallen through some ice at the creek near our house and tripped and ended up slicing his ankle to the bone …

I have had problems with my urinary tract ever since I was a little girl. It seems to be an ongoing battle, and I have found myself in the emergency room too many times. Since I don’t like to imagine my kidneys shutting down one day, I try to …

I was a bit skeptic about purchasing this cream due to the fact that I never purchased a product from BioDerma before, and I wasn’t so sure how effective it would be on my skin! But I have heard a lot about their line of products, and how they …

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 …

I have season allergies that can be severe. Although I have tried every prescription medicine and over the counter antihistamine, the only one that seems to work effectively for me is Benadryl. This can pose a problem when I need to be alert and actually functional, because the Benadryl makes …

I take a nightly hot tub bath to help ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia. To keep it interesting, I use a variety of bath bombs, bubble baths and other products. Some of my favorite products contain sea salt, which helps to add minerals and the magnesium and potassium seem to …

I have come to the conclusion that using mouthwash is one of the best ways to keep my mouth clean and healthy. I have not always enjoyed using mouthwash because most of them seem too intense; I have come to find out that they are not all that way. …

I think that this Betadent Blue Granuli is a very good tooth paste. I usually use Lacalut. Lacalut is really great. But once in a while I would like to make a switch and try some other tooth paste. Usually, I will pick a tooth paste, will become disappointed …

It smells great. Like most neutrogena products it …

Dove Beauty Bar White worked for me for awhile, but then suddenly began drying out my skin after about a month of using it. I was not sure that it was the soap, so I continued using it for quite a long time because I had purchased a …

For something as disposable as toothbrush, I didn’t really get the purpose of sterilizing it regularly. At the time I needed a good cover for my toothbrush, before packing my luggage, that’s when I fully acknowledged the use of steripods. The steripods were handed out to us …

I’m prone to urinary tract infections since turning to a teenager. But it’s atypical for me to be hospitalized because of an infection which brought about recurring high fevers. The physician prescribed me to drink cranberry juice and I was later discharged after a few days. …

I’ve always sort of had issues with my sleeping schedule. It’s been erratic, at best, for most of my life, since I was just a young girl of six or seven years of age. As I’ve gotten older, the problem has continued and, on some levels, even gotten worse. …

I remember I …

Last night, I had my first experience with an air brush tanning system. I grew up in Southern California, where such a thought would have seemed silly, at that time, for me. Now, I actually wish that this type of tan HAD been available for me, when I remember …

When it comes to pain management, I will leave no stone unturned. I recently came across the Arthritis: A Natural Approach DVD, and knew I was onto something. Lately it has occurred to me that pills are often the first line of defense from pain.

I am picky when it comes to protein and I have never been an overly huge fan of the supplement company VPX but something attracted me to this product that they made. The main reason I was attracted to this product was because they gave so much inside of …

I have tried a lot of Burt’s Bees products in the past. The main reason why I love purchasing products from the company is the fact that most of the ingredients in their products are natural. I was browsing through the health and beauty section of one …

I don’t always eat the healthiest, I’ll admit, and sometimes foods that I love just don’t sit well with me. I’m mildly lactose intolerant, but I love milk products, and that doesn’t always leave me feeling my best. There are days where I will have a bowl of cereal …
