I need cashew nuts, so browsing the internet for cashews in ASDA, Tesco etc. I find cashew nuts that state 'Suitable for Vegetarians.' on the packaging. Are these also suitable for vegans? I'm thinking yes they are…

Russian Amber Imperial Shampoo
I was given a little trial pot of Philip B Russian amber shampoo when I bought something from TJC last month. It was only a 5ml pot so enough for two washes. All I can say is I didn't care for it. It made my hair feel dry and matted. I'm sticking with my usual pantene 3 in 1.

Teeth grinding
Hi guys, My dental hygienist told me in September that the dentin on my lower front teeth is showing quite badly and suggested that I might be grinding my teeth at night.

Bed bugs - is it possible...
Is it possible for you to get bitten by bed bugs but not your partner (or whoever you share the same bed with)? I don't particularly want to go to a GP at the moment with this whole world upside down thing going on but i don't have a clue what's the matter with me at the moment. I've been itching for a while and last week…
