Here's a tip for you acne sufferers or anyone who get a breakout or the occasional spot, benzoyl peroxide is nothing compared to the effects of clay.As a firm believer in not using benzoyl peroxide to treat my acne I learned through HighOnHealth.org (an amazing acne site) about the wondrous effects and powers of clay.Clay helps soothe those inflamed pimples which are the second worst (those pus...

When my husband and I travel we like to stay in Hotels that offer a well kept environment, enough room to relax and value for our money.  When we were younger travellers we didn't go for the 5 star hotels but as we've grown older, we're finding that our tastes are getting a little more selective and it's more difficult to be satisfied in a 'ho-hum' room even if we a...

Living in Oregon my skin get really dry due to the rapid change of weather, so I have tried every type of lotion out there from .99 cents to 25.00  Dollars a bottle. This lotion smells great and feels great, the second you put it on your skin. You only need a dime size amount. Its an intense body moisturizer. I use this lotion on my two year old daughter and my five year old son. I have ye...

Most people have visited a Ripley's museum at some time in their life.  I recently had the chance to take my family to St. Augustine and visit the Ripley's they have.  I have a handicap daughter who uses a wheelchair type device when we have to go on outings that require her to walk too much.  I had it in the Ripley's museum and the accommodations were not the greates...

The Make-A-Wish Foundation sent my daughter, myself and my other daughter to Florida to see my family.  While we were there we spent a day in St. Augustine.  One of the places we were lucky enough to visit was an old fort (castle) built by the Spanish in 1695.  This fort was called the Castillo de San Marcos.The fort is unique in that it is made out of Coquina which is a kind of ...

I have used the herbal St. John's Wort off and on for over 10 years now. I first started using it back when I worked two jobs and was continually stressed out. It takes about 2 weeks for it to fully kick into your system, but after that, it works great. St. John's Wort takes the edge off, but has no bad side effects that might keep you from normal, everyday activity. The main ingredient...

My wife and I stayed at the Sandals St. Lucia Grand during our honeymoon in 2006. It was the perfect start to our married life. We stayed for 6 days and had a great time. Everything was all inclusive in the price we paid. We didn't have to worry about carrying money around for drinks, food or tips. Pratically anywhere we went through the resort we were waited on hand and foot. We ...

 So we end up going here every year and we bring my son and my nephew and have a blast! The entry fee is not that expensive, and they usually have some kind of promotion going. The last time if you brought in a Pepsi can, you got $5.00 off.  They have one price, and you can go on all of the rides. Obviously games and food are extra money, along with some other items.  If you go d...

I spent my honeymoon at the Sandals Halcyon in St. Lucia.  The Halcyon is the smallest of three Sandals resorts on the islands, but makes up for its size with its comfortable atmosphere and excellent staff.  While the other resorts offer larger suites, more pools and more restaurants- the Halcyon is less crowded, better maintained and everyone knows your name.  We visited the oth...

We recently stayed at the Omni Hotel at the St. Paul Riverfront.  This hotel is located very conveniently near many St. Paul attractions: Xcel Energy Center, Harriet Island, the Science Museum of Minnesota, the Children's Museum of Minnesota, the Minnesota History Center, and many others.  We were there over the 4th of July and wanted to experience the Taste of Minnesota at Harrie...

  I am very interested in alternative medicine. I also happen to work in the healthcare field. I would advise anyone to talk to their doctor before taking any kind of new medicine. I tried St. John's Wort at the recommendation of my mother-in-law. This is cheap I bought a bottle for $3.68+tax of 100 capsules at Wal-Mart.  The bottle says it is suppose to "help promote a posit...

Growing up in St. Paul, Minnesota I went to this local zoo a lot. As I got older I did not care for it. I felt it was very small and the animals were poorly kept in small cages with no room to roam. I remember as a child watching this tiger in a small cage walk back and forth and back and forth. I felt sorry for the tiger. For years I avoid this zoo because of my past experience. I was told Com...

I was browsing through the classifieds on an RC forum, and I noticed a great deal - a hardly used Duratrax Evader ST roller with ESC for just $35 shipped! I contacted the seller immediately, and by the end of the day I had become $35 poorer, but had a Duratrax Evader on the way! In about a week, a big box arrived at my door. I opened it, and of course, the Evader was sitting there! The first th...

I have been a member of St. Joseph's Federal Credit Union for about sixteen years.  This credit union is open to any member of about 6 local churches.  Over the years, the credit union has immensely expanded their services.  In fact, they are currently building a new facility next to the one that they are outgrowing!I like being a member of this credit union for many reasons....

The last time we took a vacation, we decided to do a park and fly near the st. louis airport.  Yes, we only live 90 minutes away, but when you're catching a 6am flight, it's nice to be right there. We chose the St. Louis Airport Marriott because they have a special deal with apple vacations.  One night hotel and up to 14 days parking for $80.  You do have to show you...

I learned about St John's Wort from my husband's niece whose mom has been suffering from depression and anxiety for 20 years now.  Her mom used to take anti-depression tablets for more than 10 years already.  Due to fear of long term side effects of taking medications for her depression, she asked her doctor if she can take a better and natural alternative.  She was advis...

My husband was advised by his doctor to take aspirin regularly to prevent blood clots and heart attacks.  My husband likes to take St. Joseph Chewable Aspirin for this purpose.  He has a hard time swallowing pills, so the chewable feature of St. Joseph makes it very simple for him to get his aspirin a day.We usually get the 81 mg strength.  I have also used it on occasion for rel...

The Pier Aquarium is a good find, but be warned before you enter that the whole aquarium is about 2,000 square feet total. When you visit "St Pete" it is hard not to miss the interesting and colorful structure at the end of the pier, but recognize that the actual aquarium is only one floor and that the entierty of the exhibit is about 1/3 gift shop.  I just want to be sure you do...

I tried this product because I had a coupon for it.  I must admit that I am usually more of a fruity scent kind of person when it comes to bath products, and this one has more of a sweet scent, which isn't bad- kind of a vanilla scent.I thought the Whipped Silk was a little bit thick, and it didn't lather up very well for me at first- the flip top cap became quite messy from turnin...
