Kirkland Dishwasher Pac Review

Sometimes the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is more like a challenge than good advice. Such is my experience with liquid dishwasher soap, of all things.

Costco Kirkland sugar-free child’s chewable multi-vitamin review

I have a hard time ingesting adult vitamins without getting nauseous. I have to bracket a pill-taking between eating two hours beforehand and not exercising two hours afterwards. I don’t plan ahead very well, so this meant I skipped taking a vitamin more often than not. I found that I can chomp down a child’s [...]

PSA: Costco-branded Kirkland child chewable vitamins taste nasty

I used to (somewhat regularly) take a multivitamin, especially when I was losing fat thanks to my personal trainer.
