Basic Vigor Nutraceuticals Migrastil Migraine Stick Roll-on Headache Relief, Essential Oil Aromatherapy 10ml

I have suffered from migraines for a long time. They can last a long time and make it impossible to do anything other than lay down. I have tried lots of things to help, with not much luck. I recently started using essential oils and they have helped with some other things i suffer from, so I though it could help with my migraines also. It comes in a 10ml roller bottle with a silver ball. Perfect to bring along with you any place you go. You rub it on your temples, forehead and the back of your neck. The silver ball feels nice and cool when you rub it on. It has peppermint, spearmint, lavender and fractionated coconut oil. I smell the spearmint most. It's supposed to help with nausea and relive the pain from your headache. Like always, i got a headache so i tried it out when my headache wasn't that bad yet. It helped a little bit, but not for long. There is a different brand on the market that is much stronger, and for my headaches i need it to be stronger! If you don't have migraines and it's just a slight headache then this might be great for you. I will keep using it and see if I get relief. However I think i will reach for the stronger one before i reach for this one.

Charlotte & Oliver's Lush Bath Bomb Fizzies Gift Set - 3.6oz Essential Oil Infused, Spa and Bath Tub Friendly (6 Pack)

I got this bath balm set for myself but when it came my daughter claimed it as her own. It shipped quickly and when it arrived you could smell the bath balms through the box. They are in a nice gift box with 6 balms and some straw. It arrived right in time for Easter and they looked like Easter eggs. I think that's why my daughter wanted them so badly. There are 2 blue (ocean), 2 yellow (vanilla) and 2 pink (strawberry). They smell so good. It's not a overpowering smell at all, it reminds me of tropical flowers. My daughter is 6 years old and like i said she claimed them right away and was very excited to try them. I couldn't argue with that, who wouldn't want to have a great bath! They have essential oils in them and they don't fizz up as much as some bath balms do. I like that! The first one we used was the blue (ocean) one. It filled the water with a beautiful blue tint. It reminded me of the water from a tropical island. I even looked up a photo of a tropical island to show my daughter what it looked like and the water looked the same. My daughter was very relaxed after her bath. She loved it so much that we used the yellow (vanilla) the next day. She loves that she gets to have a treat for her bath. Her skin was super soft and she smelled so good after her bath. This is a great bath balm set and worth every penny. Recommended!

Plant Guru Lemongrass Essential Oil. 10 ml. 100% Pure, Undiluted, Therapeutic Grade

I have really gotten into essential oils lately, so I have been trying to get different oils. Lemongrass was next on my list and it is a great oil. It smells lemony and like cut grass together but also like a lemon drop candy. Plant Guru is a great brand with quality oils. They are very reasonably priced and a great way to start your oil collection. Some of the things this oil is great for are, it supports healthy digestion, soothes aching muscles and tendons, purifies and tones skin, repels insects. It also helps emotionally, mentally, and spiritually to cleanse, helps with stress, anti-microbial properties,anti-inflammatory, it is effective in controlling a fever caused by infection, headaches, heartburn, water retention, fatigue, insomnia and body odor. You can mix Lemongrass with different oils and make a blend like Basil, Cedar Wood, Coriander, Geranium, Jasmine, Lavender, Clove and Tea Tree. It works great defused, rub on the bottom of your feet, on the back of your neck or just a few drops in your palms and inhale. It is recommended to use a carrier oil like coconut oil with any oil when first trying it out to make sure you don't have a bad reaction. I'm very happy with this brand and this oil. I think anyone that gets it would be happy with it too. It's nice to find ways to treat health problems with out taking pills. Recommended!

Era Organics Dead Sea Mud Mask with Organic Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Manuka Honey & Hemp Oil (6oz) Spa Quality Face Mask to Cleanse & Minimize Pores, Moisturize, Detoxify & Exfoliate (In Blood Orange Lemongrass)

Everyone needs a good mud mask right? I love them, it makes you feel like you're at a spa with out paying a arm and a leg! It's nice to treat yourself but it's also great for your skin. You can find mud masks all over the place but you want to make sure you get the right one for your skin type. I have psoriasis so I look for a mask that can help with that and also be used on more than your face. With so much on the market it can be hard to pick one! I found Era Organics face and body wash and loved it so when i saw this i jumped on it. They are a great company and the products are top notch. Your skin will feel and look so much better after using this mask. It's a smaller jar than i thought it would be but you don't need to put a thick layer on. So it will last a while. It's a brown color mud and it's best to shake it up before you use it. It will be creamy and it smells like heaven. I love the blood orange smell. I haven't ever had a mask that smells so good! You leave it on for 20 minutes then wash off with your hands and your face feels like baby skin. It has a slight tingly feeling when you first put it on but it will go away. You can use this mask 2 to 3 times a week. If you have sensitive skin you might want to leave it on for less time to start with. It's worth the cost. Recommended!

Buttons & Pleats Compression Socks Women Graduated Compression Technology Ideal for Exercise, Yoga, Travel & More

I suffer from swelling in my feet and legs. It's been going on for quite some time now. It comes and goes but when I am swollen it makes it hard to do lots of things, like walk, drive, bend at the knees and I have to use slippers because that's all I can fit into! It's not pleasant and both of my feet and legs swell at the same time. So far my doctors can't find out what is making me swell. So I have been looking into what I can do at home to help out the problem. One of the things I found that is supposed to help is compression socks. There are lots out on the market. Some with no heal, nothing for your toes, to the ankle and to the knee. Well because I swell all the way up my legs I got the ones that go to the knees. I looked for a long time until I found this pair. They are black and feel like regular socks but nicer. They are made with 17% nylon and 83% spandex making them silky and stretchy to perfectly conform to your feet and legs. Sizes are small/medium US 9-11, fits shoe size US 5-9, Medium/large US 10-13, fits size US 8-13. I am very happy with them so far! They help with blood circulation, they are tight but not to the point where your in pain. They are great if you have to stand on your feet all day or are running around a lot. They will stop or really slow down the swelling. If you suffer from swelling then you know how bad it can be and how bad you just want help! Right now I only have one pair however I plan on getting more so I can use them everyday. For someone who had to put up with this for so long I am happy to have found this product! It really helps with my blood flow and I can tell they will be great when I am swollen. You will be happy with your purchase. Recommended!

Eucalyptus Essential Oil. 5 ml. 100% Pure, Undiluted, Therapeutic Grade. Sample Size

This is a great essential oil! Eucalyptus oil has many uses and smells very fresh. It is from Evergreen tree's so it's a bit minty and a bit woodsy. It's not to strong at all I love the smell it perks you right up. You can use it to help with allergies and asthma by putting a drop on an cotton ball and sniff it several times a day, add a few drops to hot water as steam therapy, or you can use a few drops in your bath water. It also helps with body and joint pains, fever, sinus congestion, colds and coughs. Use as a bug repellent, to disinfect wounds, cold sores, mouthwash and in homemade cleaners. Defuse it for a air cleaner and odor remover. Use with a carrier oil like coconut oil and rub into the bottom of your feet and your chest if congested. I'm sure there are many more uses that i don't know of. You can do so much with essential oils. I am very happy with Plant Guru and will buy from them again. Recommended!

Garlic Essential Oil (Allium sativum) 10 ml. 100% Pure, Undiluted, Therapeutic Grade.

This oil is super strong! When i got it in the mail I could smell it as soon as I opened the package, and the bottle was sealed. It has a very potent garlic smell. The smell of this oil is much stronger than the smell of garlic you use in cooking. If you don't like the smell of garlic then you won't like this oil. However if you can get past the strong smell then you will get some great benefits from this oil. I would not distill this oil. All that will do is fill up the room with a very strong and not so nice smell. It's best to use this oil on your body with a carrier oil. I would say always use a carrier oil with this oil, you can even add other oils to help with the potent smell. Because this oil is so strong you may have a bad reaction on your skin if you don't dilute it. You can use 2 drops of garlic oil in 1 ounce of carrier oil, shake very well every time you're going to use it. You can rub it on the bottom of your feet. That is the quickest way for the oil to penetrate through your skin and enter your body. You can also use it right on the problem area. Garlic oil has antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-hypertensive properties and can be used to help with things like, to prevent infections, treat colds, bronchitis, ear infections, acne, relieve coughing, reduce fever, control high blood pressure, build up the immune system, tick bites, bacterial and fungal infections, bug bites, headaches and stress. I am sure there are more things, it really has many possibilities. Just remember to use it with a carrier oil. It can be a bit hard to get past that strong smell but if you do, you will be very happy that you did. Really a must for your oil collection. Recommended!

Arm & Hammer Spinbrush™ ProClean™ Recharge

I love electric toothbrushes! They work great and with very little effort. However it is so hard to find a good one. One that will give you a great clean feeling, get in between your teeth and not cost you a arm and leg! So i mostly use regular toothbrushes. They don't cost much and they do the job okay. However I would much rather have a electric one! When i got the Spinbrush "Proclean" Recharge in the mail i was excited to try it. It takes batteries so you don't need to plug it in and have wires all over your counter tops. Then i saw the coolest thing, the head is replaceable! You don't need to buy a whole new toothbrush, just replace the head when it's old! I thought you had to buy those really expensive toothbrushes if you wanted to be able to do that. That's going to save me some money not having to buy expensive heads for an expensive toothbrush. I am really happy with the way it cleaned my teeth, it got in between them very easily and got all the stuff out of my teeth from dinner. The top part of the head is round and spins and the bottom is kinda square and moves up and down at the same time the top spins. So it gets the hard to reach spots, like in the way back of your mouth with no problem. A very effective toothbrush at a great price and the replacement heads are a great price also. It would be great for anyone in your family. It's a soft brush that doesn't hurt your gums. I will be getting one for everyone in my house. Even my 6 year old. Recommend!

Natural Products Pure Magnesium Oil spray bottle 8oz with lotion cap.

I am always low on Magnesium when i get blood work done. So i looked into what that means for my health and wow i had no idea how much Magnesium does for you. Here are a few things that Magnesium helps with, getting better sleep, restless leg, headaches and joint and muscle pain. So you could always take a pill to get your Magnesium but i found that there is so much more you can do with the oil. This bottle comes with a spray top so you can spray it right on what is hurting like your neck. You can make a essential oil rub with this oil and your favorite essential oil. The oil is very thin so i think it's better to use the spray top. If you use the lotion top it will run out fast and get all over you. After you spray the oil on your skin and rub it in you might feel a gritty almost sticky feeling left behind. It will go away and it's not bad enough to not use this oil! My order came very fast! Amazon still said it was shipping and i had the product already. I'm super happy with that. It's a nice size bottle and I'm sure will last quite some time. There is not much information about the product on the bottle so i had to look up how i should use it. I wish they would put a information card in with the order. That's why 4 stars and not 5 stars. I have been using this oil for about a week now, everyday and at night to help me sleep. I have noticed a difference in my sleep. Before i would lay there forever trying to fall asleep but when i use the oil i feel asleep faster! I also have noticed a difference in my headaches. They are not as strong and i can get them to go away faster. I am very pleased with this product so far and i will keep using it. Recommended!

Detangling Hair Brush -Detangle Hair Effortlessly With No Pain - Good For Wet Or Dry Hair - Adults & Kids - (Blue brush) & (Black brush) by, SH&SH

I got this brush for my daughter who has thick long hair. We have a hard time when it comes to brushing her hair. She gets tangles and they can hurt really bad sometimes. So when i saw this brush i thought it's perfect for her. Its cute and bright and has a mirror on the back. Plus its a great size for a 6 year old that wants to do everything herself! I got two, a blue one and a black one. One for at home and one for on the go. She was very excited when they came in the mail. She loved the blue one most and couldn't wait to use it. Her hair was in a braid all day so we let her hair down and she started to brush it. Her hair is super long so she wasn't able to get the ends, so i got it for her. Asking if i was hurting her the whole time. She waited until I was done and said it didn't hurt, i love it. As she walked away brushing her hair. So i thought we scored. The next morning it's time to brush her hair for school and I'm thinking this should be fine because we tested the brush yesterday and she loved it. Unfortunately this time after having her hair down overnight the brush didn't do as well. She said it hurts, i thought this brush won't hurt me! So i did it a bit slower trying not to hurt her, but it still hurt. I'm going to keep using it and see if she was just having a bad morning and maybe it will be better next time. I hope so because now i have two of these brushes. They are really cute and any little girl would be happy to have it. I just hope it will work better next time i try it or it's going to have to be passed on to someone else in the family.
