In all cases, while placing a lens in the …

I am a cough drop fanatic. I’ll just lay those cards out on the table right now. I could eat cough drops like they’re candy half the time if it were left up to me. My husband jokes that my breath always smells like menthol because I’m sucking on …

I live in an area of California that is KNOWN for the drugs that grow here, all too well. Our County is sad with the number of people who have become so drug addicted that there are few choices left for them, in order to stay alive. However, one …

This soothing gel works pretty well, although it can’t quite take away all the discomfort and unsightliness of sunburned skin. This soothing gel is sold at the Dollar Tree for just one dollar, and in my eyes, that’s a good price for a six ounce bottle of this stuff. …

I have been using Pepsodent Complete Care toothpaste for about two years now. This toothpaste pretty much has it all: it helps to control cavities, remove tartar, and even whitens your teeth with its special enamel-safe formula. It actually strengthens the teeth enamel, according to the description on the …

I found a half full can of this deodorant/antiperspirant spray in a closet. This is not usually how I end up with my health products, but since it was there, I decided to use it. It didn’t seem very old, and although I am usually not a big fan …

It’s not all that often that I need something like the Biofreeze pain relief roll-on product, but the occasion does tend to present itself at the wierdest possible times. I was out with my friends the other day and just happened to pull something simply getting out of a …

When I saw these on the shelf for the first time, I said “No way.”

I’ve always been in a battle with my weight. Though I successfully lost 50 lbs a few years ago, it has been a see-saw battle since then, and though I know better, those lose-weight-quick-and-without-effort products seem more and more appealing, especially when you work and work to exercise and …

Cool Hand Soup Sanitizer from Leyende is the latest product I tried. It may just be a hand sanitizer, but I like this product a lot over all the other hand sanitizers I tried because it does not dry my skin. I like its soft, light scent which smelled …
