Relax with an orange! (And some juniper, and frankincense . . .)

Advantages: very relaxing, not so oily that it feels greasy, interesting fragrance
Disadvantages: none for me, but might not suit those with certain medical conditions

...never been quite sure when Boots brought the Botanics range in - I remember when I was younger that their own brand aromatherapy products came in white coloured packaging, but by the time I got round to buying my first aromatherapy starter kit at nearly 16, the one I picked up was a Botanics one. Amongst all the pure essential oils (ie. ones you have to mix with an unscented base oil before you use it as a massage oil) in the range, there are also ...
...them individually so I imagine Boots have tailored their blend with this in mind. All relaxation, I think, is probably relative - this does have a "lie back in the bath and watch the vapour rise" feel to it, but if I was going to put it in the bath I think I would make sure that a) the water was very warm and b) that I didn't get distracted when the cold tap was running. (Guess what I did tonight - a tepid bath with this in the water just doesn't ...

braggs apple cider, i like the effect but i hate the smell

Advantages: best cure for stress and making your hair gorgeous. lol
Disadvantages: i really don't like the smell of it.

...also read a book about apple cider vinegar, it says that it can also help you avoid stress. indeed, i felt it that way. it says on the bottle of bragg's apple cider vinegar that you have to mix some stuff with it and best taken after you got up and at midafternoon. i just put in some on my food after i got up or during breaks after lunch, i loved it. it made me feel so relaxed. like it would actually wake your senses even after stressful day. so, ...

Review of Apple Cider Vinegar

Legalize Marijuana

Advantages: non addictive,relaxing
Disadvantages: toxins

Unlike most drugs, marijuana is not addictive. I am a smoker, and think this is one that should not even be classified in the same category as drugs such as heroin or cocaine. Smoking marijuana gives you a laid back, relaxed feeling. Although there are toxins in it, these are the same as you will find in tobacco, which is legal. Marijuana is less harmful than the also legal alchohol. You can smoke in several different ways, including rolled into ...

Holland & Barrett Aloe Vera Gel

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Burns and tightens the skin

...aloe vera gel on the Holland & Barrett website for £2.99 which is considerably cheaper and the aloe vera content was 99.9%, which was slightly higher than the content of the Sk:n version which is 98%. This made me think the Holland &Barrett version would work better. Within minutes of applying the Holland & Barrett aloe vera gel my skin felt extremely tight and there was a horrible burning sensation. I immediately had to remove the gel and then reapplied ...

Review of Holland & Barratt Certified Aloe Vera Gel

It does what it says!

Advantages: increases your cup size,makes breasts a lot firmer!!!!
Disadvantages: makes you pee a lot as you drink so much water everyday!

If you make sure and take this product exactly how it says you will get results from it. Don't get me wrong it was hard for me to remember to take the tablets as im not very good at that sort of thing as im quite a fast paced person rushing around and tend to forget to do simple things like taking tablets. I found that side of it hard but its what you have to do to get results. I believe it works in the same way as breast growth happens when you're ...
...know. The tablet isnt going to make you go from a B cup to a DD cup or anything silly like that it does literally give you an extra cup size. I am now a D cup and i was only just a C cup before I took the course which is just what I wanted to achieve. So if you take the course as directed with 2 litres of water everyday then expect to see good results at the end of the 6 month course. ...
