It is funny that the product description listed here is better than what is on the bottle.
When I bought this shampoo I took revitalizing to not necessarily mean moisturizing, so this was a wrong turn for me from the get go. I think their choice of adjectives of the bottles is misleading.
It took me a few months to realize that this was not only product making my scalp greasy, but the oil was also extending to my forehead. I switch products frequently to reduce build up, but this root 'awakener' overpowered them all. Weeks later I am still using a clarifying shampoo to clean up the damage.
Unless you have severe dandruff I would highly discourage use of this product.
Just as a disclaimer I would like to note that I am a frquent user of other JF products, so this one was a real surprise.

This brush ensures that they do not clump together, so score.
It also does not give me raccoon eyes, score #2.
I recommend.

Okay, this is the first time I have used a product like this so I have nothing to compare it to, but I did think it worked well.
Do I think it was of good value? I received this as part of the Review Club, but the site averages the price to be around $8 - for how many sheets, I am unsure. I do know that I went through all the TP (4 rolls) and still have 1/2 of the refill pack of wipes left as I did not feel the need to use them every time.
I found them very helpful for bowel movements and with my period. It felt like I was much more fresh using these wipes.
Also a secret, they make an okay midday pit refresher too. I am a little embarrassed to say, but when you are pressed for time and a little funky......
Bottom line is that I will definitely buy again until I am wealthy enough for a heated bidet, which I now desire greatly.

I love this tooth brush.
I got the blue one and I'm particular about colour (I know - weird), but I see here they have other colours - YAY because this will be my tooth brush forever more!
I have a small mouth and on the recommendation of my dentist I have always used a small head tooth brush, so when I saw this monster coming, I thought it will never work for me. I was totally wrong.
Those outside soft plastic things cups your teeth and massage the gums while the bristles go to work on the teeth themselves.
My teeth are totally smooth. I love this tooth brush. I even like brushing with it.
I even think it holds the toothpaste better, possibly making it more economical in the long run (this is just a theory at the moment).
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Big time. Go get one.
Crest will even send you a wad of $1 coupons if you email their website and ask nice.

This is the best Crest Rinse I have ever used.
The mint flavour is a bit 'hard', I had to read twice to ensure there was no alcohol in the bottle, but it says there isn't. I think this strong hit is what makes the rinse work. It leaves your mouth reeling.... and fresh.
I don't think I would reach for this first at the store, but it really does the job it is tasked with.

I really have enjoyed using this toothpaste. It is a gel, which is my preferred type of paste. It has 'crystals', which didn't bother me at all.
It does foam, which makes it a bit messy, but it isn't as messy as other foaming pastes I have tried.
I found the taste refreshing and not overpowering, but my mouth remained clean for a long time (and I am a coffee drinker).
If this was non-foaming I would rate it 10/10, as is 8/10. Very good product.

Oral-B 3D White Vivid Toothbrush
I found this toothbrush a bit too big, but once I got used to it, i really liked the long bristles on the front end. The long bristles get into those spots that you may miss with other brushes. Overall, a very good toothbrush!

Mostly I give this toothpaste a thumbs down review due to the foaming effect. i have a small mouth and I felt like i couldn't contain the foam while I was brushing, it was a really messy affair.
Secondly, I drink coffee and tea. At first I felt like I did see my teeth brighten, but then they did not whiten any further after the initial boost.
Furthermore, I have sensitive teeth and the toothpaste and rinse combo were a bit harsh on my sensitive spots.
Not worth it in my opinion.

I don't find that this rinse is very fresh tasting or minty at all. I would not buy this after the trial. Crest is still a great brand, but this is not a product I will be latching onto long term.

Once you start coughing, sneezing or having to blow your nose, it is time to rinse your sinuses.
I was turned onto this process by my ENT specialist and he highly recommended it, even twice a day if needed.
If your cough is coming from nasal drip, it can be eliminated. If you use nasal sprays, using them right after a rinse makes them more effective as they can actually hit what they are aiming for (also a tip from the ENT doc).
Cleans out your sinuses - doesn't feel weird at all, it is quick. I feel like I have a new head afterwards - seriously, it's awesome, especially if you get sinus related headaches!
I can't say enough. I wish I had known about sinus rinsing years ago and the NeilMed squeeze bottle makes it super easy.
