I get acne more than I’d like, and most products I’ve tried haven’t worked for me. I don’t have as many bumps as just red marks where acne used to be. There have been other Clearasil products that I’ve tried and have no liked, so I was a bit …

I like to keep a few lip balms on hand that have spf protection for when I am outdoors or traveling and might be spending time in the sun. Since I had tried the other Nivea lip balm (Kiss of Moisture) and loved it, I decided to try this one …

As a fibromyalgia patient, I have used just about every muscle rub product out there. Many contain the same basic ingredients, and work because of their reliance on the counter-irritant effect that menthol and similar sensation-producing substances produce. They basically stimulate the sensory nerves in the skin so that your …

I still remember trying my first Tae Bo workout years ago. I was huffing and puffing, but doing my best, and then I found out we were still only in the warm-up. Whoa Billy, you could have knocked me over with a feather.
The neighbors …

When I had my …

I tried out this product because it honestly sounded like fun. It is a weight loss aid, in the form of liquid chocolate that you drink an ounce of before a meal. It contains the patented product “Chocamine” which is a concentration of the “feel good” chemical in cocoa …

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 …

This Scholl Dual Action Foot File is rather expensive for a foot file at about £5, although you can find it cheaper online. For me, the one advantage this file has over other files is its design which I think does allow me to more easily reach awkward …

I have always dreaded my time of the month with a passion. I’m sure most women do, but I hate everything about it. I hate the leaky feeling, the wetness, the cramps and the messiness of it all. I figured out that tampons are much less messy than sanitary …

When I was younger, my family used to have bars of soap for use in the shower. When we first started using body wash, we bought the cheapest brand, which didn’t smell very good and wasn’t a great quality.
About a year ago we discovered Alpine X-treme body wash. …

These days it seems like every brand of toothbrush is coming out with their own electric toothbrush to compete with the bigger brands that sell theirs anywhere from $15 to even $100. I’m not sure who in their right mind would spend $100 on a toothbrush, unless it’s made …
