Sorry about that! If only I had gone to BBB earlier, right? It seems they have just about everything "As Seen On TV" in the store, including the.....

SNUGGIE!

I'd totally get one to give myself Big Love compound hair.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED!!

I'm not sure if any of you have flown JetBlue yet, but they have individual TV screens that you control on the back of each seat. I noticed this person like two rows up from me was watching the Bumpit informercial...and I wanted to know what it was but of COURSE my TV was broken. Thanks for posting it!

I wanna try it... but I think only the mini Bumpit would work for me... I would probably look ridiculous with any other. :o

SPACE BAGS!!!

My mom's friend told her about them, who told me. They are amazing and are great for storing things that you don't use, like seasonal items, or for moving.

Here's a link to their website, they grade everything pretty hard and there are many products listed.

I figured as much. Nothing ever seems to be made for those of us with fine hair. I was always the girl in high school who would go through three cans of Aqua Net a week to get my "perfect pouf", only to have my hair completely deflate by 2nd period. :(

As much as I've made fun of the Snuggie, I wish I had one now. I'm constantly getting hot then cold especially when I read.

I have the Magic Bullet Blender. FABULOUS invention. There's SO MUCH you can do with it!

I love the Magic Bullet too! I asked for it for every Christmas and birthday for three years and the kids finally came through last year!

I had some similar bags I got and they were a god send at the dig site last summer. I had my clothes sorted into bags, and it kept the dust off my clean things, and all I had to do was grab one item from each bag to get dressed. The dirty clothes stayed outside and went into a laundry bag. I had the cleanest and most organized tent at any archaeology dig known to man. I also wore makeup every day and brought my hair straightener, plus shaved every time we got a shower, so take that as you will.

Standards must be maintained. My family has pictures of 10 yr. old me camping - pink foam rollers in place, green macramé purse with me at all times.:rolleyes: (Yes, it was the 70s.)

Strap Perfect
 
Got 'em - and they work! An earlier poster had said that her friend had problems with straps being uneven - I'm guessing her problem was getting the straps even in the first place. It's a tad awkward to do yourself - but once in place, I've had no problem with them slipping. And yes, you do get a "lift"! I give it a thumb's up!

Anything for a lift! AND, I have a gift card to BBB!

-Have the Magic Bullet - would rather have a real blender (mine is at my house, my mother decided she didn't need hers anymore); the one minute bit doesn't do it for me. I think that having bought it (them) from an informercial (read: paid too much) soured me somewhat.

-The Ped-Egg destroyed my feet for about 3 weeks. I guess I was too hard on myself with it.

-Love, love, love the Space Bags! I may actually get another set. All my summer whites are in them, but I haven't tried them with sweaters. Has anyone?

-Another fine hair victim. I think it would be easier to tweeze my hair rather than sand it.

-The GT Express Cooker. Think shaped electric frypan. My mother watched that informercial. I think we need to join Informercials Anonymous!

So today I saw an informercial for some pots & pans, but I can't remember the name. Apparently they are super non-stick, that they were cooking an egg (i believe it was sunny side up) and when they moved the pan, the egg would slide to the side. If it really does cook the pancakes the way it showed, then I want it!!

I just bought them from the As-Seen on TV store at the mall today. I haven't tried them, but I'll be sure to give and update when I do.

Perfect Strap
 
They do tend to ooch up over the course of the day - but I just pull it down. Not a biggie, and still MUCH better than having straps falling down all the time.

eta - It basically goes to right above the strap to nestled in between my shoulder blades.

EagleChick19 02-08-2009 08:43 AM

I've always wanted to try the Perfect Strap. Thanks for all of the reviews! :)

I have the Aqua Pods in my plants at home! They work very well, and I usually don't have to water my plants for 2 weeks.

I was all set to try them this morning with my new Lilly cashmere shell - then I noticed the coolest thing ever - the shell has tiny snaps with strings on them at the top of the straps, so you can snap your bra strap right into the shell. Even though they came off the mega-extra clearance rack at Saks - luxury clothes rock!
