I’ve put together a growing list of top-rated products on Amazon in 2025 that I’ve either personally used, plan to buy, or had “enthusiastically suggested” by family members (yes, really 😅).

Revitive, Finally Relief from Peripheral Neuropathy Pain

Image
Why I wrote this Post When the first symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy hit, those strange pin-pricks in my feet and legs, followed by tingling and numbness in random parts of my body—it completely blindsided me. I was worried, confused and desperate for answers. If you're feeling the same way right now, you're not alone. That’s exactly why I wrote this post: to share what I’ve learned, what I wish I’d known sooner, and to offer a bit of calm in what can feel like a very chaotic moment. Because those first weird sensations? They were just the beginning...

Do Grounding Mats Really Work? My Honest Take

Image
Hoping for a Miracle Let’s be honest — if you live with any kind of chronic pain, inflammation, or restless nights, you’ll try just about anything that might help. Tablets, snake oils, electronic devices, praying to your fairy godmother — anything to bring relief from what ails you. I’ve always been a bit sceptical of “miracle cures,” especially when they’re splashed all over social media ads promising to heal you overnight.  Before I go on: I have a series of posts on Peripheral Neuropathy if you'd like to read how I found relief after reading this post.

5 Amazon Buys I Didn’t Expect to Love – But Now I Swear By

Image
There’s nothing worse than reading product recommendations from someone who clearly has no real interest in what they’re writing about or worse, when it’s obvious they’re only doing it because it’s part of their job. It always feels a bit disingenuous to me. So, I wanted to keep it real. In this post, I’m sharing a handful of products I bought with low expectations, things I didn’t think much of at the time, or just hoped would do the job. But every one of them has earned a permanent place in my daily life and now I find that I can't do without them.

Beyond Revitive: What Else Helped Ease My Peripheral Neuropathy

Image
 Aside from the Revitive Circulation Booster, I’ve tried several other things that help with foot pain and neuropathy symptoms.

I've spent quite a lot of money testing various things out, not for the good of humanity but for my own relief. Hopefully If I can help you avoid wasting time or money, then it’s worth writing this. So if you're curious about what’s worked for me, stick around and I’ll walk you through it. Check out this post  5 Amazon Buys I Didn’t Expect to Love  for some great ideas after you finish here.

Fitbit Rash and Irritation: My Experience & How I Solved It

Image
Have you ever taken off your Fitbit or other brand tracker and found an itchy red rash underneath? I have and not just once. I’ve owned three different Fitbit models over the years, and with each one I experienced sore, red & irritated skin. My latest one, the Fitbit Charge 6, I had the worst reaction yet. If you work out, the rashes are normally worse as soft skin gets damaged more easily.  I found a solution that worked but was labour intensive and then I finally found a simple, affordable solution and it turned out to be a third-party option and not one from Fitbit directly. I wanted to share how I solved the issue as it really is an annoying problem, especially if you bought the Fitbit to get healthier. To be Clear: This may also affect users of other fitness trackers and even regular watches , so if you've had a similar experience, read on.  Why not check out this post — 5 Amazon Buys I Didn’t Expect to Love  — for some magic product ideas after you've finished ...
