Crest Pro-Health (Clean Mint)

I am very torn about this product. I guess you could say it's one of my guilty pleasures (which is really weird to say about a toothpaste). In case you didn't notice, I try REALLY hard to buy things that are not tested on animals. Procter & Gamble is a HUGE animal testing offender but I just can't give up on this toothpaste! I tried several others (Biotin, Tom's of Maine, etc.) but they just don't live up to Crest Pro-Health. My mouth feels cleaner, fresher and, when I was using it religiously before, I had no issues when I went for my dental cleaning. After I stopped using it, I had a few cavities, and a couple of my teeth became very sensitive again (I had these issues BEFORE I started using this toothpaste too). Maybe it's just a coincidence but I'm just not sure.

So, after finding it on sale, I have purchased 4 tubes of Crest Pro-Health. This is one of those items where I'd say, to get me to stop using it, you'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Real Solutions Moisture Recovery with Hydrating Macadamia Nut Oil

I had been using Nature's Gate Organics for about a month or so and, while I liked it, I started feeling like it was drying my hair out a bit. So, while in the grocery store, I looked to see what they had and found this shampoo & conditioner by Real Solutions. So far, I LOVE it! I've only been using it for a few weeks but have seen a real improvement in my hair already. I have a problem with dry and frizzy and this seems to take care of it all! I can let it air dry and have no issues with it being too frizzy.

They also have 3 other types: Color Care, Frizz Repair and Volumizing Remedy *Updated 8/22/08: I looked at the Frizz Repair and Volumizing Remedy versions at the store. They DO have parabens in the conditioner. I didn't look at the Color Care version.
