Healthy Product : Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor Test Sticks, 30 Count

Customer Review :

I checked ALL over online and Amazon has got the best price.. Then with "free shipping" it's a can't beat price.. BUT the "free shipping" comes at a price of it's own.. I think your order sits and waits while everyone else who paid for shipping goes first. I waited two weeks then canceled my order when I found out it was still sitting at Amazon not shipped. SO you need to order in advance so you won't be stuck without sticks when your monitor is Asking you to test!! 

The advice to order on ebay is fine.. as long as you get sticks that are not expired. I have read in auctions that expired sticks DON'T matter.. It DOES matter if they are expired the readings will not be as percise. This is a serious matter not need to go cheap on the sticks and cost yourself MORE time. 

You need to have enough sticks to cover testing for each month from the same pack.. it helps the monitor to give a more percise reading.. It says that in the monitor directions and Customer Service will stress that point as well. 

I agree with another poster on here too. You CANNOT read these sticks on your own. I would look to see if I could see a difference after the monitor told me my fertility status.. Couldn't tell.... SO these are JUST for the monitor!!

HEalthy product: Rogaine for Men Hair Regrowth Treatment, Easy-to-Use Foam, 2.11 Ounce

Customer Review :

I don't recall any problems with this seller, I believe the transaction was perfectly smooth as I expected. In short, rogaine foam has worked great for me and very quickly. I noticed my hair growing thicker and healthier within just a few weeks and shortly after that (maybe six weeks?) I noticed baby hairs forming. After two months my hairline had lowered about a centimeter which IMO is very drastic. I highly recommend any 5% minoxidil product for anyone who is considering it. 

Okay, now for the unabridged review... 
About me: I noticed my hairline receding around 16 and pretty much went directly into denial about it. My family has a history on of baldness in all of the men. When I started about four months ago my hair was very thin all over my crown. I was beginning to see my scalp all over the top. My temple's had no hair on them and I was developing the classic widow's peak look. I didn't mind my receding hairline until this past year because it was so gradual. since 2010 my hair started falling out very very rapidly and I new I had to do something. 

Around the age of 20 I started taking finasteride every other day that was prescribed from my doctor. He recommended using rogaine along with it but I decided against it because of price and hassle associated with using something everyday forever. The fin' didn't seem to ever do anything and by 21 years of age my hair was steadily getting worse and the shedding was getting more and more severe. I could scratch my head and see hairs falling out. It was very depressing and embarrassing. 
Finally I bought this rogaine foam. It's cheapest here on amazon I checked all over the place and this was the best option for me. I continued the finasteride and started the foam. I took picture for reference. 

It's been about 4 months since I first started. I didn't have any side effects other than a little bit of soreness at first similar to a sunburn. I am very fair-skined and usually have skin irritations easily so this surprised me that I had so little of side effects. 

I took the product as directed and my hair started looking thicker within just 2 or 3 weeks. by a month or two my hair was clearly beginning to grow back around my temples and my scalp began to disappear under my hair which was clearly thickening. Even my girlfriend (who was skeptical from the beginning) started to notice the growth. I started using it after showering because I had heard that this enhances absorption. I remember about two months ago my hair completely stopped shedding... meaning no more hair in the shower drain and no more hair floating off my head when I scratched it. I also noticed that my hair on my crown was growing at the same speed as all the rest of my hair which is much better than the 'clown-hair' look I was sporting in years past with the sides of my head growing faster than the top. 

Around two and a half months I started to be inconsistent with the applications using it just once a day or every other day. 

Everything was going great until about three months in when my results seemed to taper off and the shedding started all over again. I have started using it twice to three times daily on a dry scalp which is how the directions recommend it. I think that the decline in results is from my inconsistency in using the product and possibly from using it on a wet scalp which may actually hinder the performance of the minoxidil...? 

I will continue using minoxidil for the next few years most likely and will repost a new reviews if my hair starts shedding again. 

Other facts I would like to note is that the foam itself seems to make my hair look and feel thicker almost like a styling gel. I did notice a possible increase of shedding in the beginning but this was followed by a clear increase in growth which undid that initial damage. Liquid minoxidil products make my hair look thin after application and are messy and never dry. I do use a liquid off-brand 5% minoxidil at night along with the rogaine foam sometimes b/c I don't care what I look like when I go to bed and I want to spread out the cost. I am now considering just using the foam and not using the liquid to improve results. 

I am very happy with this product. I would have given it five stars 3 months ago had my hair not started to shed a little bit again. I give it four to four-and-a-half stars. In my opinion,there's definitely nothing else out right now that I would trust more than rogaine foam to REGROW hair.

Healthy product : Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser

Customer Review :

I've always prided myself on my good teeth. I thought that flossing and brushing was enough...that was until I went to the dentist, and he said I had the beginnings of periodontal disease. That scared the hell out of me. 

I went home and started using the Sonicare I had bought but never plugged in. That was good, but not enough - I bought a Waterpik because obviously flossing wasn't cutting it. 

I had never used a Waterpik before, and it was some revelation! I'm still amazed that there are some Waterpik oldtimers who say this machine isn't strong enough...uh, for what? Peeling paint off a brick wall? This thing absolutely knocked my socks off when it came to the PRESSURE. 

I started out at 2 and worked my way up to 7 - it still stings like mad, but I'm getting used to it by now. I put Listerine in the tank to increase the anti-bacteria result. 

My dentist went on vacation, and I had to cancel another appointment, so it happened that almost two months had elapsed since the last time I had seen him. In that time, I faithfully brushed with the Sonicare four times a day and used the Waterpik at least once (several tankfuls of water and Listerine worth.) 

Regarding the leaking people talk about - the only time the tank leaks, I notice, is if I put my fingers on the seal when I'm refilling it. If I'm careful to keep my fingers away from that seal, the tank is water tight. 

So when I returned for my check-up, the dentist was AMAZED. He wasn't sure what I had done, but he said my gums looked pink and healthy! He had said initially I'd have to get my teeth cleaned every three months because I must be one of those people who gets a tartar build up quicker than other people...well, I had worked religiously on scaling back the plaque. (I had also bought a dental mirror so I could check the back of my front teeth for telltale plaque residue.) 

Hmmm, no comment about that plaque...was it because there WASN'T any? My dentist asked me if I had been eating because there was so little build up (I had to tear that out of him because I KNEW he didn't want to give me credit for working that hard on my dental hygiene!) 

The dentist HADN'T recommended a Waterpik, but I knew I had to go to the extreme to beat back the periodontal enemy. My teeth are so clean, they squeak!

Healthy product: Relaxing Nature Sound MP3's


 Customer Review :
These MP3 streams are perfect for my online work, for writing and for helping me wake up in the morning. The sounds are refreshing and help stimulate productivity — they can lend a certain calmness to busy Boston living.  I prefer Thunderstorms Approaching; for whatever reason, it helps me focus best. Great work, Nate. – Email From User Alan Perlman
Great to find some relaxing sounds that are actually real recordings of a decent length. Most soundboard style relaxation CDs miss the point that it’s the randomness of the natural environment that is relaxing – the incidental sounds and rhythm. …Sailing The Harbour and Rain on Metal Roof are incredible at taking the mind elsewhere.  Email From User Rob S.
As someone who loves to be outdoors but find herself wandering the big noisy city more often than a mountain trail, Nature Relaxing Sounds provides the perfect distraction and escape.  Whether I am working on a project (Camping Out), curled up reading a book (Evening Loons) or timing a perfect 30 minute yoga session/meditation break (Showers In The Forest or Thunderstorms Approaching) these familiar yet soothing tracks will transport you away from the hustle and hurry of your everyday life.  To capture these relaxing moments forever on your computer or iPod is a steal at this price!  — Email From User Elisa Doucette
I really enjoyed my first listen to Nature Sounds and look forward to using them in future whilst writing. They transport you to another place, a welcome oasis in a busy day.  — Email From User Jen Smith
“It didn’t take long for me to get in the habit of turning on these nature tracks as soon as I turn my computer on each day. This has proven to help me focus on my work from the start without wasting valuable time procrastinating and as a result, I’ve been accomplishing more work in 2-3 hours than I usually accomplish in double that amount of time. And while I enjoy them all, my love of the beach has me a bit addicted to “Tropical Beach Sunset”!” – Email From User Earl Baron
