For me, having a blocked nose is horrible. If I can't breathe through my nose, and only through my mouth, my mouth gets dry, as well as my throat and tongue, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. The nasally voice that comes along with it raises eyebrows at work, as I am a health care worker.
Having been hit with the third cold this year, I finally decided to try to find something...anything that would help. Sudafed sinus tabs have seemed to offer some much needed relief. While they don't eliminate the problem all together, they have been it much easier to breathe. Interestingly, my sense of smell has not returned, so it is an artificial relief, but one I am most grateful for.
They do make me feel a little jumpy, and I would not take them at night, but I do appreciate the effects for day time use.

I received a bottle of orange blossom in my Welcome bag from Chick Advisor and have been using it for a week now. I am very impressed by the super rich lather, and how long the bubbles last. Lovely scent, very clean, and delicate. After rinsing, the bubbles stay for so long that it's like getting a bubble bath after washing.
I don't need to use a lot on my pouf to get enough to wash my entire body, and the scent lingers, making a really nice tub experience.

I paid more for these than I normally do for facial tissue, but with a constantly runny nose, I decided to splurge. These will now become a must have for every cold that makes its way into our home. They are very soft and non invasive on my nose, and so far no tell tale red nose to announce my cold. The regular tissues dry out your skin, and add itchy nose to the other symptoms. Theses really feel soothing.
They will not be my every day choose ce, but definitely part of my cold kit!

This homeopathic "flu buster" is very effective. I'm working on my third cold this year, and finally decided to try something different.
The package contains 12 vials of very small beads, which are very sweet tasting. We are instructed to let the entire contents dissolve under the tongue. When I felt this cold coming on, I immediately started with a dose every 8 hours, and am happy to say that while my cold is not gone, it is at least bearable enough that I can work. It seems to relieve nasal congestion, and also reduce that achy feeling that comes with a cold.
I paid $22.99 for a package of 12 vials, a little pricy, but worth every penny if I don't miss work because of it.
This is an all natural product.

I received a sample of this in exchange for my honest review. While it is an effective moisturizer, and I can use it near my eyes without burning, it was no better than any other eye product. I used it at night, and in the morning, and the delicate area around my eyes stayed hydrated. I find it expensive without any added benefits. -

I received a small bottle of this in my Chick Advisor Premium Welcome bag. I have been using it for the last week, paired with the scrub.
It is a nice light moisturizer, which I find absorbs quite quickly. It feels like satin once absorbed. My skin feels well hydrated and looks healthy and bright.
My only comment fo improvement is that it does not seem to last for an entire day..after around 6 hours, my shin started feeling dry and itchy, and I applied more. This tends to happen in the winter, maybe due to exposure to a lot of electric heat. I generally switch skin care from summer to winter, so will probably put this away and try again in summer.

Originally purchased for personal care, I read that this can be used anywhere on the body you wish to remain cool and dry. As it had worked so well to keep my peri area fresh, I decided to try it under my breasts where I was developing a heat rash. Regular fragranced powder seemed to exacerbate the situation. After a week of using this Summers Eve BODY POWDER IN Cotton Breeze, the area in s free of rash and itchiness. Because it is formulated for a fragile area, it is the perfect solution for me to keep dry and rash free. -

I received the cherry go round in my Chick Advisor Premium welcome bag. I used it on my toenails last weekend (my job does not permit fingernail polish). I liove the colour and only 2 coats ere enough to completely color my nails uniformally. Not too highly scented, and really easy to apply. After 8 days my pedi still looks fresh. -

I bought this to help with some hair breakage that I was experiencing. While my hair definitely improved it is hard to say whether it was the Biotin, or one of the other changes I made.
What I did notice was my nails started to grow quickly, and are so strong. Even once I had completely filed my nails down for work, within a week I had noticeable growth. They are growing in much stronger. I have not made any other changes that would contribute to my nail health, so I am attributing it to the Biotin.
I take a 2500 mug tablet daily, and swallow it rather than let it dissolve.

I bought a package of this at a reduced price in exchange for my honest review.
I selected pink, as it was one of the recommended colours for already bleached hair. I appli d to dry hair as recommended, and left on for the suggested 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, it took quite a while for the water to run clear, but once it did my hair was very pink. I liked that it highlighted the blonder hair, and actually didn't stick to my roots, so created an ombré look.
This is a very temporary colour. It is suppos d to last 4-8 washes, in my experience closer to 4. With each wash it faded a bit more. This was a positive for me, because it was just a fun experience, that I wanted to do, but not permanently change my hair.
I also appreciated that if you want to change to your mind, there is a shampoo available that will immediately remove the colour .
I would buy it again, but I think I would wait until it becomes a more reasonable price.
