I thought I would try to live a week using “as seen on television” products to get through the day, here is part 3 of day 1

As I closed the garage door I caught a glimpse of my “Topsy Turvy’s” lined up along the fence, The Topsy Turvy tomato planter works in a simple yet ingenious way. As the sun warms the plant like a greenhouse, the root system explodes and thrives inside the planter. Because Topsy Turvy tomato planter is upside down, water and nutrients pour directly from the root to the fruit, giving me up to 30 pounds of deliciously ripe tomatoes per plant! All the Topsy Turvy’s were illuminated by the “Solar Rocks” you know the ones, they are equipped with four brilliant super bright natural white LEDs in a uniquely designed honeycomb reflector. This solar powered rock bursts out an intense spotlight beam onto any targeted garden plant or bush, or in my case my Topsy Turvy’s”. I had strategically placed my solar powered rocks around the base of the “Expandable Garden Edging”. This stuff was great, This lovely wooden textured Extendable Garden Edging went up in seconds, expanding up to 3 feet allowing for a custom fit. It worked effectively at keeping pets and critters out all while I was highlighting my garden. I was able to install it in seconds with no hardware or tools necessary. I found it to be a fast, fun and inexpensive way to create a garden showcase that my neighbors were envious of.

My attention was distracted by the phone ringing, I ran in and grabbed the “Big Button Phone” it is a EZ-touch big button corded phone with 10 number memory, ringer control, receiver volume control, 3 one-touch photo memory speed dial buttons, Braille raised characters, flashing visual ring that is hearing aid compatible and wall mountable. The buttons are such that the one touch photo-memory can store the number and hold an actual photograph of the person, calling loved ones had never been easier. After completing a lengthy survey I was glad that I had switched to the “Magic Jack” for my phone service. I have never seen a simpler to use product. I simply plugged it into my computer and then plugged in my phone, and start calling. The call quality is perfect ... this device is so simple that someone’s grandmother could install one on her PC and begin right away. After the call was over I was able to relax a bit, I started playing with the dog. It did not take long for me to go running for the “PediPaws”, this outstanding product features built-in nail guide that protects against cracking, splintering, breaking or cutting too close and the smoothly trimmed nails guard against pet scratches on my furniture, upholstery and skin. I have in the past, before getting the Pedipaws, had to use “Liquid Leather” to repair furniture that was damaged by sharp animal claws, those days are gone now though.

I quickly changed clothes and got ready for my evening exercise regime. I started with 15 minutes of “Core Rhythms” this plan offers a revolutionary weight loss exercise program that uses sexy Latin dance moves to raise my heart rate and tone and tighten my entire core at the same time. The fun, Core Rhythms moves all start with the core, affecting my upper abs, middle abs, lower abs, obliques and my back to give me a 360° total core workout, all while being swept away by the fun of dance. After that I spent some times performing “Crunchless Abs”, they tell me that our abdominal core is an amazing anatomical composition of 12 muscles that wrap around us like a girdle and when properly trained, holds our midsection in flat and tight. I was stunned to hear that recent research showed that standard floor crunches train only 2 of these critically important core muscles, I was disappointed. After that I moved right into “Perfect Pushups” and I will tell you the US Navy Seal who designed this exercise tool was right, they engage more muscles, maximize strength all while reducing joint strain. It was easy for me to see why they had a patent pending. After that I spent just a couple of minutes on the “Iron Gym Pull Up Bar”. I was getting tired but had to complete my workout, I still had the “Pilates Ball with Resistance Bands” and the “Kettlenetics”, as seen on TV that featured a 360 degrees workouts for full circle body toning, whole body resistance training for strong and toned muscles and dynamic flow motion movements for high-speed cardio fat burning.

With my workout over I showered and prepared to make dinner. I was very hungry but luckily I had recently found out that I am fat not because I can’t stop shoveling crap into my face but because of stress and other factors that are outside my control. Knowing that I immediately contacted the the folks at “Zylotrim” and they told me that their weight loss pills are clinically proven to increase my fat burning enzymes to help me lose weight and body fat. They tell me they are clinically proven to increase my fat burning enzymes and I received a risk-free trial bottle of the safe weight loss supplements. With no worries about health or how fat I am I broke out a few gadgets to make dinner. First I pulled out 30 pounds of tomato’s provided by my Topsy Turvy’s and sliced them up with an original “Ginsu” knife, I first felt it necessary to cut open the soup cans with the very same Ginsu knife, just because I could. I pulled out the “Pasta Express” machine and got the pasta started. I also fired up the “Grill Daddy Pro” and got the “Big City Slider Station” ready to crush little balls of ground meat into restaurant style mini burgers in just minutes. I have found it perfect for dinner, parties, big games and more! It requires no flipping and the lid helps cook both sides at the same time. All the other vegetables were cut up using a “Slap Chop” and the “Vidalia Chop Wizard”. I used the “Amazing Oven Gloves” because they dramatically extend the time I can handle a hot object in my hands. These things can even be exposed to an open flame and the outer layer of the glove will not catch fire and will not melt. I have found them great for the kitchen, BBQ’s & handling dry hot items such as burning light bulbs & more, anything up to 480-degrees F.

After dinner we settled in for an evening of entertainment at home. We each donned a “Snuggie” and I headed for the kitchen and broke out the “Whirley-Pop” popcorn popper. Face it, sometimes the best thing about going out to a movie is the popcorn, those big plump kernels that always seem so much better than what I could pop at home. But the Whirley-Pop popper changes all that. It really does make awesome, fresh-popped corn in the sturdy aluminum pan that has a clip-on lid with a stay-cool wooden handle. Even though I was warm and toasty inside my Snuggie, I could feel a draft from the back door. I immedialty grabbed a “Twin Draft Guard” and a disaster was averted. After injoying the popcorn we decided to have a shake so out came the “Magic Bullet Deluxe Blender” and the ice cream. Everyone knows the high-torque power base is the heart of the Magic Bullet. By simply plugging in the Magic Bullet and placing one of the Bullet Cups or Party Mugs onto the high-torque power base and press and I was immediately rewarded with a substance that has been thoroughly blended. There are no buttons to press, no complicated manuals to read. Nothing could be easier. After a movie and popcorn and then a shake we were ready for bed, but we both like to read before bed and we use the most incredible gadget to do that, you guessed it the “Super Slim, Totally portable Book Light” that came, free of charge, with our Snuggie purchases.

So that was hilarious for me to do so I decided that there were just too many products I did not discuss so I will be doing another as Ms. Oatmeal as there are a ton of these types of products geared towards the female market.
