These are the Nexcare Bandages by 3M. I recently had a really bad burn to my hand (I am studying to be a chef). These bandaids or bandages are the only thing that actually stayed in place, didn't peel off or curl up while I was working. They are made of a fabric type material that bends and moves with your skin as you do your daily activities. I tried lots of other brands while I was trying...

This is Proctor & Gamble Pepto-Bismol Max Strength. I am studying to be a chef and this product is invaluable. I cook every day - some good, some bad. I also have to try other students dishes. All of this cooking and eating can lead to an upset stomach. I have found that this product, because of it being 2 times the strength of regular Pepto-Bismol, really does the trick for me. A couple of...

This is Bath & Body Works, Loofah Body Scrub in the Green Apple scent. This was a gift. At first I thought, "Bath & Body Works - too femine for a big guy like me". This is not the case. I found out that Bath & Body Works has a whole line for guys. This is one of those products and I found out that I really like it. This product has bits of loofah (sponge like) and bits of ...

This is Noxzema Medicated Shave Cream for Sensitive Skin. Well, this is your basic shaving cream. Nothing too fancy or "smelly", just good basic stuff. I like it because of the price, of course. Just about $3.00 for a can that lasts me a long time - sometimes up to a month or more. It is medicated for sensitve skin. If you are prone to getting irritated after shaving, I can recommend ...

This is Suave Naturals Shampoo in the Tropical Coconut Fragrance. I am a college student, so products that work well and that are not insanely expensive are important to me. Suave products fit that need very well. This shampoo smells really good and works really well on my hair. It even has some vitamin E in it which is supposed to very good for your hair. I really love the fact that I can get ...

This is Mennen Speed Stick Deodorant in the Regular scent. This is a very inexpensive deodorant and in this case, I have found you get what you pay for. I am a college student, so cost of hygeine products is always a concern for me. In this case, I found that the deodorant really doesn't give me enough protection. I am studying to be a chef, so I am in a hot kitchen all day. I need a good d...

This is the Targus Sapphire Camera Case. I purchased this camera case at Walmart on sale. It was a great bargain at $13. My digital camera fits really nicely in this bag. The bag is a nice black nylon trimmed in blue. It has a semi-hard case to the front and back making it very durable. I like the fact that I can be assured that my camera is well protected. The bag states that it is water resis...

This is the Wusthof 6" Cook's Knife. I received this knife as a gift from my Aunt right before I started culinary school. It is a great knife. Wusthof is a company that makes knives in Solingen Germany. They do an excellent job. There are, of course, more expensive knives and even better knives on the market, but this is a real nice knife for the money. The knife is a singe piece,...

This is a review of Hershey's Chocolate World. Chocolate World is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Chocolate World serves as the starting point of a visit to Hershey. Inside you will find the Great American Chocolate Tour. This is basically a "Disney" style ride that takes you through the process of making chocolate, complete with singing cows. Chocolate World also houses a 3-D m...

I am going to tell you about The Boardwalk water park in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The Boardwalk is the brand new waterpark located at Hershey Park. I was really looking forward to this, but I was sorely disappointed. The area is so small and the crowds (even in Sept in PA) were horrible. Inside the waterpark is a giant play structure. This is great if you have kids to teens, but it is large and i...

The is Aquafresh Extreme Clean Toothpaste with Micro-Active Foaming Action in the Whitening Mint Experience Flavor. This is my favorite toothpaste! I am a college student and I usually look for cheap products. This is not one of the cheaper toothpastes at $4, but it works so well and tastes so good, that I make an exception and pay more for it. I love the taste and the way it foams on your teet...

This is the Max Block Sunscreen with SPF 30, UVA-UVB Protection. Cheap college student here reviewing another one of my bargain finds. This sunscreen is sold at the dollar tree for, of course, a dollar. It is super water and sweat resistant and I have found that it works just as well as the other brand names that cost oh so much more. I spent the last couple of days in Hershey at the park and w...

Today I'm going to tell you about Mitchum Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant in the Mountain Air Scent. The type I use is the clear gel, but Mitchum makes a solid as well and it comes in different scents. I really like this deordorant better than other cheaper products on the market. I have tried lots of the cheaper brands because I am a college student and I really have a tight budget. I have...

Today I'm going to tell you about Equate Triple Antibiotic Ointment. This is the generic version of Neosporin which comes from Walmart. In my opinion, this product works just as well as the more expensive, name brand product. I recently had a very bad burn because I am a culinary student. This ointment fixed me right up. It was recommended by my school to help the healing process take place...

Today I'm going to telll you about Cutter All Family Mosquito Wipes. This is a great product. If you are like me and hate those Off type sprays...I hate the smell, the feel of the stuff and everything about it...you might want to try these wipes. I'm a big guy and it takes about 3 - 4 wipes to get my body covered. I can use the wipes just like a moist towel. You can wipe them on your fa...

Personal Care Spike It Styling Gel, Xtreme Hold #9 was puchased at the Dollar Tree for just a buck! A great deal for a starving college student, lol! My hair is extremely curly, yet somewhat coarse. I am of latin decent, so think that type of hair. If I do not use a gel, my hair is uncontrolable. I don't actually spike my hair as the name of the gel implies, this product just helps to manag...

This is the generic Walmart brand for Tylenol. I really like this pain reliever and the price. I can take two of these caplets and feel better in about 15 minutes. I find that they take care of aches and pains associated with working all day, headaches, etc. I have found they work every bit as well as the national brand and they cost a fraction of the price. This is a bottle of 100 Caplets at 5...

CareOne Multi-Symptom Cold and Flu Relief in the Original Flavor is a really good product that I try to keep on hand. I am the type of person who catches every cold that goes around. Being a college student, I'm always exposed to germs, so this is a great product to have. When I have a cold, I'm miserable at night. This medicine deals with all the different symptoms, whether you are stu...

Rexall Melatonin 300 MCG Nighttime Sleep Aid are dietary supplements. Melatonin is a natural sleep aid that works to help you relax enough to go to sleep. When I have an especially hard day or if I have a big test (I'm a college student), my mind just seems to race. These work pretty well to relax me enough to get to sleep. They also work fairly quickly. I take one tablet and I'm able t...

Mennen Afta, After Shave Skin Conditioner in the Fresh scent really works well for me. I get really irritated after shaving. This product is very soothing on that irritated skin. I still get those bumps after I shave and this doesn't necessarily take them away, but it does sooth them. I like the fresh scent as well. It is nice and clean smelling and it doesn't interfer with other produc...
