Treatments -Vaseline - Vaseline
Alemor 5/7/2009 4:25:00 PM
Allow me to join the ranks of Vaseline lovers. I won't repeat the many uses for this fabulous (and wildly economical) product that have already been mentioned. But Vaseline is also a great treatment for athlete's foot. Several years ago my son had a mild case that never really seemed to disappear entirely, despite using the normal products made for athlete's foot. So after reading somewhere that Vaseline was a cure for it, he ditched all the regular methods, and instead tried applying Vaseline after throuroughly washing his feet with soap and water. Voila!!! His chapped feet cleared up within days and the athlete's foot never returned. It's an amazing, amazing product.

Other -Crest - Whitestrips Advanced Seal

These are the BEST I've tried so far; and believe me, I've tried them all! They really do stay put, and that's the biggest obstacle with most whitening strips - how is a treatment supposed to work if they won't stay on long enough to work? I got mine at Amazon (chose the ones from the "shipped from and sold by Amazon" and shipping is free, plus you can usually get them for around $29, whereas they'll run about $38 at Walmart. Here are a few tips that might help: 1. Use them every other day (or even every third day) rather than daily, to avoid sensitivity. 2. They're simple to remove if you just take all four fingertips and gently sweep off the entire strip from gum line downward over the front of teeth - then grasp entire strip (front and back) between thumb and forefinger and remove strip the rest of the way. If you try peeling them from one side to the other, they continue to adhere and it will feel like you're yanking your pearly whites out by the root! 3. Before applying the strips, I spread a thin layer of the very inexpensive Plus White 5-minute gel for extra whitening power. The Crest strips will still adhere, and you get to use up any leftover Plus White, which you'll probably never go back to. I do my whitening in the morning as I'm getting ready for work, so I shower with them on, style my hair with them on, apply my makeup with them on - then as I'm ready to step out the door, I remove them, brush my teeth and I'm good-to-go. I'm now on my second box, and the results are great - better than the dentist's treatment, which cost $200 per session (in a series of three), and really only started making a noticable difference after the third treatment.

Candles -Henri Bendel - Home - Firewood

Henri Bendel’s Firewood is a delightfully sensual, intoxicating fragrance in a clean burning and long-lasting candle. It's a nice woodsy blend of cedar and sandalwood with a hint of amber. I’m on my third candle now, and I’ll definitely purchase again and again.

Lip Treatments -Avon - Avon Dew Kiss Lip Dew

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! As long as I have a tube of Dew Kiss® on my nightstand, my lips will be silken smooth and moist. I’m in love with the scent – it’s instant nostalgia, magically transporting me back to childhood Christmases, when I could always count on a little tube of the stuff from my granny. A great product for less than a dollar! What’s not to love?
