My son loves the Cartoon Network show Ben 10. All he wanted for his birthday last year was the Ben 10: Alien Laboratory so being the great parents (suckers) we are, we purchased it for him. If you were to ask him to review it he would give it A's across the board. But since I am the one actually doing the review, my opinion of it is not as high as his.The Ben 10 Alien Laboratory is a r...

Fluticasone Propionate is the generic form of the nasal spray Flonase and this has been a true God send to me this summer as I have seasonal allergies.  I had never had seasonal allergies before this year and actually did not know I had them until my ears were clogged and I dragged myself to the doctor for some relief.    She looked in my nose, did a double take and looked in my ...

One day while shopping for a plastic shower cap for my hair, I'd saw a trial sized bottle of a small shampoo. This shampoo I'd seen plenty of times before but never decided to buy it (at least not the regular size anyway). The shampoo it happens to be is Organic Root Stimulator Creamy Aloe Shampoo. I have used the brand's conditioner before and it done fantastic wonders to my hair s...

I was looking for a gentle exfoliating cream that would not affect my sensitive face. Most are actually very harsh I found them good for hands and feet but not quite works okay with the face and neck. And I had reservations with this one as well. But guess what it worked wonders. St Ives, Ultra Gentle Apricot Scrub, Swiss Formula, provides gentle yet deep cleansing with extra mild, natural ex...

Cough and flu are some of the commonly found illnesses on kids especially during summer. I had this vitamin brand since my first born. From dropper to spoon now that’s how I trusted and relied on this vitamin C for my kids. I usually give them 1 tablespoon a day after breakfast as maintenance and protection. I noticed with my kids that they seldom get cough and flu even on summer and even...

 I bought this product while on a small cosmetics making myself feel better / pamper shopping trip.We had run out of toothpaste and I wanted one with some form of whitening, after years of smoking and tea drinking (It is true about us British being tea drinkers and having bad teeth, a connection? Perhaps!) my teeth seemed a lighter shade of yellow than white. To be perfectly honest I...

Beautiful hair is rarely something we wake up with.  For most people, it takes a lot of time and effort, plus some good hair products to give us the look we want. If I air dry my long, layered hair, it's curly and a bit frizzy. It needs something to help the curls look less frizzy and more defined, plus some added gloss to make it look healthier. I've tried a few products on my own...

I have been using Clinique loose powder for years.  My mother used it, and at one point, my daughter used it as well. This powder has remained unchanged over the years, which is a good thing.  I have been very pleased with this lightweight powder. This Clinique blended powder is hypo-allergenic and fragrance free, two very important qualities. There are a variety of sha...

Super Smash Brother Melee has comsumed my life. That's because it offers rediculously addictive gameplay that anyone can catch onto but no one can truly master. Although some of my friends argue that the appeal of the game is the ability to play as all of your favorite Nintendo characters, I would disagree; this game is fun because it offers an unparalleled multiplayer experience. My friend...

We noticed it was becoming more difficult for our old cat to leap up onto the couch and climb stairs as quickly as he used to. When his X-rays showed he had Arthritis, our vet suggested we give him Cozequin capsules for Cats. Cosequin is a vitamin supplement that is supposed to lessen your cat's joint pain from Arthritis. We purchased a box of 80 capsules and hoped our cat would h...

I bought this Cook Top Cleaning Cream For Smooth Top Ranges at the same time I bought our new range. I had already been told some horror stories about the smooth top ranges and their clean up so I wanted to be prepared. Well it turns out the range isn't that hard to clean I just use normal glass cleaner most of the time, but this does help for an occasional heavy duty cleaning and polishing...

For years, we have been using Alaxan at home for relief of body and muscle pains. Previously it came in tablet form and tasted quite bitter but the new Alaxan FR in capsule form not only takes away the bitterness but relieves faster. Since capsules dissolve more easily in the stomach than tablets and absorb by the body faster the effect comes fast too. I don’t see any difference in the fo...

While taking medicines for curing cold, the following factors must be taken into account1)  Cold is the starting point and also ending point of fever.  Both cold and fever medications are same.2)  There are several medicines which do not help to reduce cold and fever.  They must be detected by noting their response after consumption.  If they are not effective, they mus...

This is a great product for the hair.  It is a light spray of olive oil and sheen.  Provides a healthy glow for thirsty dry hair in need of moisture and sheen.  I love this product, it even keeps your hair from becoming dry ,and dull in cold weather, hot or damp weather. .  I noticed since I've been using this product daily, my hair does not break off as often and easy a...

The review I am about to give is for Queen Helene Cocoa Butter.  I went to purchase this product for more than one reason.  The first being that I am pregnant and wanted to put it on the areas most likely for stretch marks and I also wanted to get it for my dry, cracked hands.  Someone had suggested that I try it out because I have not found anything that actually helps heal the ...

My teeth are sensitive to anything cold, hot and even minty mouthwashes due to my thin enamel so I normally just gargle the natural way which is salt and water. Sometimes I just chew mint leaves and gargle with water. However, if you are always on the go and especially on travels which I always do, I cannot always bring fresh mint leaves to chew on for instant breath-freshener.This product is s...

  Germ- X is an awesome waterless hand sanitizer. It does kill germs without water! It is very simple to use. You apply liberaly to your hands and allow to dry. You do not need to wipe your hands. This is great to have on hand on trips and camping events. I like this because of it's plastic bottle. It is easy to take with you and easy to pack. Germs are everywhere and when you do not h...

Wow, this product is affordable and really works. I bought this a few weeks ago and have been using it daily. I bought this at Family Dollar for $1.98+tax.  This is Queen Helene's The Original Mud Pack Masque with natural engish clay. I have noticed that since using this I have had less breakouts, a more even skin tone, and softer skin! You simply apply the product and wait about 10-15...

I hate having clogged and runny nose but I don't have any immunity against it. They say that they are minor respiratory tract infections but that minor illnesses seems to irritate me because it makes me hard to breath, taste my food and annoys me during my sleep.I am a housewife in charge on the overall chores in the household and usually I get these illnesses of cold and flu plus cough act...

It is kind of hard for a mom to see her kids get hurt but that is something I can't avoid. On the other hand, it is my time to teach my kids on how to treat themselves on their own on some minor wounds they might get while playing, running, etc. Bruises, minor scratches and cuts are some of the things my kids usually get into. Povidone-Iodine Betadine is my trusted first-aid wound remedy fo...
