I have a problem with adult toothpaste brands because they all have very intense mint flavors. This burns my mouth and tongue, and causes me to spend less time brushing than I really should. For my own comfort, I generally use children’s formulas, or natural toothpastes which tend to have …

I was given one of these blue and black bandanas by a coworker when we were out in very hot weather, working on a sign. They are basically a bandana scarf with a place to slip in ice packs. The ice packs that come with the product freeze very …

My husband has always been sort of anti-medication. It really wasn’t until about a year ago that he finally caved and started taking motrin for headaches. Otherwise he’d just suffer through it, lay in a cold dark room with a rag over his face. Not exactly conducive to being …

I visited a discount store the other day and decided to get a new bottle of mouth rinse. I wasn’t just contemplating on buying a midget sized mouth wash to throw inside one’s purse but something of a larger size to place on my bathroom counter. The …

Smooth 9.3 Series Treadmill has no side handles to hold onto. Not even those tiny ones I had listed as a disadvantage in my previous reviews of some other treadmills. None. To me, it’s a deal killer. From what I’ve heard, even people without any balance problems can suddenly …

I think this is the newest type of tampon offered by Tampax and although I did not particularly think they were going to be different when I bought them, they really are much easier to use. The applicator is plastic rather than cardboard which can buckle and …

Like anybody, I have periods in my life where I have to deal with stress and anxiety. I prefer not to resort to prescription drugs, as I don’t like to take anything that might be addictive or cause side effects. I prefer using natural supplements and herbal products, since they …

There is a spectrum of different types of body washes, and this would be on the very mainstream/non-natural end, designed for normal to oily skin and serious dirt. This body wash attracted my attention with the pretty little graphic of a splash of water depicted on its label. It …

When I saw this great idea from Bengay, I had to try it out. I have fibromyalgia and mild arthritis, so I use a lot of over the counter products for pain relief, including many rubs and balms like Bengay and its peers.
I have used Bengay for ages, …

I always liked the Crabtree and Evelyn Ginger orange scent, and when I saw this one by Borlind, I thought it might be similar. It is, but not exactly the same. The Crabtree and Evelyn is a little spicier, and stronger, but this one has a sweetness about it that …

Women’s Wellness and Fitness is a women-only gym in Winston-Salem, NC. It is an extremely fun and supportive environment for women to go work out and get fit. I love going in to the gym surrounded by energetic women who are there to help as well as have fun. …

Of all the condoms I have ever tried before, this is the best in my opinion. They are made of premium quality latex, and hence, provide enough protection without limiting pleasure. Honestly, I don’t know why some guys still stick to the thick-wall condoms. Maybe they …

I tend to shy away from optometrists running their own independent practices because I feel as though they are far more expensive than chains. I do have a vision discount plan, but assumed that it would still cost less not to take advantage of it at a discount retail …

I take a nightly hot bath to assist in treating the painful muscle spasms and nerve pain associated with fibromyalgia. Over the last several years, I have found this therapy to be more useful than anything doctors have ever recommended to me or given me. I thank a lot …

I actually really like the taste of olive oil, and I cook with it all the time, use it in salad dressings, and also use it for making skin lotions and creams, and massage oils. There is never …

As a smoker and a coffee addict my teeth can get stained quite quickly. Dull teeth can steal away deserved confidence. I know it does for me. My sister has sparkling white teeth and I just get so jealous sometimes. So I decided to research white strips. I …

After I had fallen in love with a lotion that had the Naked Bee’s orange blossom scent, I found out that they also made a two-in-one shampoo and conditioner. I couldn’t buy it fast enough. This is a natural product, without the usual detergents we see in mainstream brands. There …

I care for my elderly mother, who takes a literal shoebox full of prescription medicines. Her doctors sometimes adjust her doses, but with oddly shaped pills (and many of hers are) it can be very difficult to get them split accurately. I also take a few medicines and sometimes …

This TDS meter measures the amount of dissolved solids in your water. It is the least expensive of all I’ve seen and does what I want. In the 12 years I’ve owned mine, the batteries (two 357A buttons) only recently have become weak enough I have trouble reading …

I have to admit that I’m a bit of a sucker for expensive skin care products. And, ironically enough, I’ve found that, over the years, these are typically the ones that don’t work all that well. I’ve tried skin care cleansing products from big (and expensive) companies in department …

When I had a bad hacking cough due to a chest infection, my neighbor offered some of this to me. Her son has chronic respiratory issues, and also has sensitivities to many drugs so she relies on a lot of natural products to take care of him. This syrup contains …

I got one of these adorable bath fizzies on my birthday, after making everyone swear not to get me a cake. I am diabetic, so I don’t need one anyway, but I could have had a little piece—“ the problem was that I knew if there were leftovers, I would …
