GUM Soft-Picks Review and Giveaway

I recently received some GUM Soft-Picks to review. Wow! Being a frugal shopper, price has usually been my #1 consideration up until now. I floss regularly. You know the drill on the string, how it breaks, and how you wish you could find a better way. Well, I just did. About GUM Soft-Picks When was [...]

Total Knee Replacement Was Not A Total Solution For Me

It has been many years since my work injury. Three different surgical procedures, multiple therapies from hospital to inpatient rehab to home rehab to outpatient rehab never addressed full recovery.

In the half century that passed, no much has changed for the treatment of skin problems. Pimples and blackheads remain a social and psyche problem for teens when oil clogs the pores. If only [...]

It’s Important To Take Your Vitamins, Even After You Grow Up

Making the right food choices, eating less, avoiding carbs helps us shed excess weight, but it can deprive our bodies of vitamins and minerals necessary for good health. Nutritional supplements and vitamins, especially the prenatal vitamin, can supply needed MDR’s. Ask your family physician what he recommends your taking and go with that. Hint: Always [...]
