This is the first time that I will be using a negatively-charged ionized feminine pad which is the Genex Lady Far Infrared Anion Chip Sanitary Pad. I have heard a lot of good things about these anion pads and their competitor, Anion Love Moon. I have not had the …

I picked up this little lip balm when I was traveling and got chapped lips from being in the cold wind. It’s a little different in how it is made. It’s a rather large tube, and the product slides rather than twists out. This is kind of cool and convenient …

Let me just say that as someone who will have to be on prescription pain medication the rest of their life I have mixed feelings about prescription painkillers. On one hand I believe that they are a lifesaver, because I know that I wouldn’t be able to make …

I am a fan of alternatives to talc based powders. I used to use talc, but then we all learned about how unhealthy it is, especially to women. When a friend of mine, who has a small baby, asked me if I wanted this product, I thought it sounded …

I have had a problem with thinning hair for several years now. It is not getting any better, and I have tried just about every shampoo, treatment and idea for thinning hair that is out there. Resorting to a “cover” for the hair was a defeat and embarrassment for me—“ …

I started working a new job last September, after eight years of unemployment, so I could stay home with my kids until they were old enough to be trusted to stay home by themselves. I was excited to start working, but I believe my body just wasn’t up to …

My teeth are normally stained and dull looking when …

Since I use a variety of massage oils for treating my fibromyalgia pain, I love to try new ones. I had never used an Ayurvedic massage oil before, and the ingredients looked interesting, but I did not want to order a large bottle in case I did not like the …

I have trouble using strong mint flavored products. In fact, I use mostly natural or kid’s formula toothpaste. I can tolerate mint mouthwash a little easier than toothpastes, but I still prefer that it have a gentler taste. This Tom’s of Maine product is a non-alcohol mouthwash that contains fluoride …

I love using natural soaps, and Shea Terra has been a company I have come to trust for very high quality soap. After using a vitamin C cleanser in the winter along with a toner that also contained a high volume of vitamin C gave me good results, I wanted …

I have tried many different lip moisturizers and balms. For every day use, I generally use one that doubles as a gloss or lip color, but when I have seriously chapped lips, from a winter cold, wind, or sun- and sometimes from irritations brought on by minted oral care …

I have diabetes, and part of this lovely disease can be frequently occurring yeast infections. Since every symptom might not indicate a yeast infection, it is often better to be safe than sorry. I have had cases where a shift in pH or something weird would cause a bacterial overgrowth …

I often use Tylenol instead of Advil for pain relief, since the ibuprofen can irritate my stomach if taken for more than a few days. However, Tylenol does not treat inflammation, so when I know my problem is inflammatory, I prefer to use the Advil. I often take the …

I was always complemented for my clear and beautiful looking facial skin. The secret of this was a regular skin care routine which included using great facial cleansers, masks and moisturizers. Though my skin did look maintained with this routine, I always had problems with my nose. Using various …

I bought this Kiss my Face soap at the supermarket in the natural products section. I needed a new bathroom soap and the scent seemed very unusual and appealing. When I think of cardamom, I automatically think of the smell and taste of chai, which is one of …

The advent of summer months always left me feeling uncomfortable due to the problem of excessive perspiration. The immense humidity and the soaring temperatures always left me feeling wet with sweat even within a few minutes after a refreshing bath. But what really irritated me the most was …

Aleve is pretty much the only pain reliever I have used for the last ten years. I’d like to say first off, I am not a pill popper or a person who believes in obliterating pain at the first sign of discomfort. I do however, believe in treating pain …

Yet another product I purchased to help with the tired, aching back was the Homedics BackTherapist, which is a 5-motor seat massager designed to be placed on your chair and simply sat on, either on a desk chair or in your car. I never tried the auto option, …

I previously used O2 Optix contact lenses with no issues. My supply was nearing the end so I of course had to schedule an appointment with an optometrist for an eye exam before being able to re-order my contacts. He ended up recommending that I switch to Air Optix …

I almost completely stooped using “plastic” pads and started using the more natural organic cotton ones.
These are quite a bit pricier than the “plastic” brands, the price averaging at twice the price of plastic ones. But it is well worth it in my opinion.
I buy the ones with …

I started my job in September of 2008, after a long eight year haitus of being a stay-home mother. The job can be phsyically demanding at times. I work in a shoe store, and I’m constantly up and down ladders and lifting and carrying stacks of shoes and boots …

I checked it …

In the past, doctors have recommended that I take Colace brand stool softener for constipation related to irritable bowel syndrome. Sometimes it would work effectively, and sometimes not.

Exercise is important in helping anyone to lose weight, but a lof of people are not into it because it is boring, and besides it is tiring. It can also be frustrating if, after a few sessions, the weight isn’t going down.

I normally use a permanent hair color. The last time I waited a little too long before coloring, I thought I would take a risk and try a semi-permanent. I kept hearing such good things about Garnier hair color, and had used some of their other hair care products with …

Iodex pain killing balm , I really don’t know from when have been relying on Iodex balm to relieve our family from the back aches and body aches our family sometimes suffer from. It is just about normal for active people to get the sprain or ache sometimes and …

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 …

I’ve always been overweight and I’ve tried a lot of different ways to lose weight including diet and exercise. When Alli was finally released into the public, I was extremely excited to try it, but I kept putting it off. The price was a little more than I wanted …

My partner is a huge fan of sandalwood. I have never been a big sandalwood user myself, although I don’t mind it in moderation if it is added to other fragrances. When I found this shower gel by ShiKai, I smelled it out of curiosity, and found that I actually …

I have used several peroxide based products for mouth irritations and infections, so when someone recommended this product, I thought I had “been there and done that” already, as the standard treatment with hydrogen peroxide rinses was not working for a cluster of sores that had come up in my …

So in love with this Astring O’Sol Ice Xtreme Mouthwash. It really helps me in so many ways. The icy cool is so refreshing. Every time I use it, I can feel the coolness and the cleanliness as I can feel it so deeply and it soothes. Specially when …

My mother-in-law gave me her old treadmill a while back, and it was an awful beast of a machine, where the belt would stick while you’re walking on it and you’d just about kill yourself. Plus, it was heavy as all get-out and was almost impossible to lug from …

I have used a lot of natural deodorant products, and I would rather use them because of the links between cancer and aluminum, but the problem is that simply put, the vast majority of them just don’t work very well. When someone recommended this one, telling me that she …

I was given one of these wraps as a Christmas present. I never would have thought it would be something I would love and use as much as I do. The family member who chose this for me was thinking of my struggles with fibromyalgia pain, and knew that …

Having fibromyalgia, I have always been a huge fan of heated pillows and wraps. I have some that are filled with rice, as well as various other types with herbs, grains, and even gels. When a friend saw this product, he knew it would be perfect for me. This is …

I’ve had a few failed self-tanning experiences over the years that I’m embarassed to admit didn’t go as planned. When I was in high school, I made the mistake of using my mother’s self-tanning lotion that she used, but she also worked at a tanning salon and was very …
