I recently had the chance to review the Outlast Long Lasting Hand Sanitizer. As a teacher and mom, I am big on the need for clean hands to help the spread of any diseases so I was super thrilled when I received notice of this opportunity. I was even more thrilled when they offered to send me multiple small bottles that I could share with others. I decided to share them with other teachers at my school for use in their classrooms as well as giving a couple bottles to some of my students who are more conscious of their hand sanitization. I then waited a week and sent out emails or caught people in the hall and asked what they had thought. Everyone had a positive … Read entire article »

We schedule one of our teeth cleanings every September so when I heard about the October Oral Care Challenge, I thought it was perfect. The challenge asks for kids and parents to brush, floss and rinse every day, twice a day for two weeks—a key step in building a strong foundation of good oral care habits.

Starting with Halloween in October, it seems like the last three months of the year are heavy on sweets, which makes it even more important to maintain healthy habits.

Get a bad haircut? Or maybe your hair just grows slower than you wish?  Well if you are up at 1:27 in the morning like I tend to be, you might already know this, but I learned this last night (err…this morning).  You can no buy shampoo for hair growth. Now when I was in school, a boyfriend’s mom swore to me that Mane N Tail made your hair grow faster. I tried it. I’m not so sure that my hair grew faster, but it was healthy. But looks like now, they do in fact make something especially for that.  Why didn’t I come up with this idea? … Read entire article »

Recently my family and I were given the chance to try out and review for you several of the toothbrushes and dental floss made by RADIUS. ABOUT RADIUS According to the RADIUS website, RADIUS aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable, enjoyable and effective. With a mass of very soft bristles, a large head area for low pressure brushing and a comfortable handle, this toothbrush would let you brush lightly and accurately. How did James O’Halloran and Kevin Foley do this? First they used very small bristles and lots of them. They also made a large head so that you did not have to use a lot of pressure when you brushed. (My dentist has also stressed to me the importance of brushing our gums and how few people do so, but … Read entire article »
