I highly recommend the green bags for produce. They truly do extend the life of your fruits and vegetables, especially bananas. I love bananas but I usually have to buy a couple that are ripe, a couple that are half ripe and a couple that are green to get me through a whole week. The green bags are great for lettuce too. I immediately transfer the bagged salad I buy into those and it stays good much longer! I thought they were pricey but my neighbor gave me one to try and I was sold. I throw out so much less produce now that I think they pay for themselves.

According to KFVS12 News's Does it work Wednesday (tests all kinds of as seen on tv stuff,) the bumpit doesn't work well with fine hair.
Here's a link to their website, they grade everything pretty hard and there are many products listed.

A girl that I coach has the bra strap contraption and says that if you move too much it tends to either flip or scratch your back. It also will tend to ride up one side and make your straps uneven.

I just got back from bed, Bath and Beyond. They have the perfect straps (and most of the other As Seen on TV items) on sale there for about $9.

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 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!

Off topic, but we must be from the same area! I love to watch KFVS 12 and Does It Work Wednesdays. It's kept me from buying some pretty wretched things...

It can be uncomfortable depending on the kind of strap and if it slid too far up, it would kind of make the straps cut in to me. Does Perfect Strap have that problem?

Perfect Strap
It slides up - I make sure to put it below the buckles on the individual straps so it can't go up too far. I haven't had a problem with straps digging in even when it does ride up a little - and it is very easy to pull down.

I bought Perfect strap at Bed, Bath, & Beyond in february right before my trip to LA. I love it! It took some getting used to, but it really does work I think.
