Great products as seen on TV, available online
I've mentioned before that we do a lot of laundry at our house, but what you haven't seen is the number of grass stains from soccer practice, dirt stains from baseball games, and other crazy laundry problems we deal with. You'd think by looking at our kids sometimes that we're sending them out in dirty clothes, but the truth is that it's really hard to get stains out of kids' clothes. Even mine … [Read more...]
I have to confess, we make a lot of eggs in our house. The best Christmas gift my wife ever gave me was a few years back with a two-egg sized Teflon-coated frying pan. It's a running joke between us because I scoffed when I opened the present, but now I've used it so much that it's dented, scratched, and chipped. And coated with something that doesn't want to come off. So let's just say it's … [Read more...]
With three kids, my wife is constantly doing laundry (God bless her!) The problem is, sometimes there's so much it almost seems easier to go to the laundromat! A load finishes washing in 45 minutes, but it takes about 2 hours to get completely dry in the dryer. She does everything you're supposed to, such as cleaning out the lint filter before each load, but it still takes forever. So when the … [Read more...]
The "IT" weight loss coach and fitness trainer on TV is, of course, Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser and Losing It with Jillian fame. She's the no-nonsense kind of coach that is still beloved by her clients, and she's known for helping extremely overweight people lose the extra fat and get in the best shape of their lives. You've probably seen the Jillian Michaels Infomercial spots on TV … [Read more...]

Buy Now Eggs are one of nature's power foods. Assuming you don't add extra fat (say, by scrambling eggs in butter), they provide a great source of protein to help your body build and maintain muscle. Portable hard-boiled eggs are even better because you can take them to work...but hard-boiled eggs are WORK to make. That's why Eggies can make your egg-eating habits a breeze. Instead of boiling … [Read more...]
The Ab Rocket is a great new way to do crunches! Hi, my name is Shawn and I got these abs using the Ab Rocket: OK, no, not really. I tend more toward the six pack of beer than the six pack of muscles. But I have tried the Ab Rocket and it does really work to isolate your abs. Although I haven't stuck with it enough to show you a real picture of my abs, I can say that after using Ab … [Read more...]
I hesitate to write this review because every Saturday morning, my kids start asking for one of these. I'm starting to think the appeal is more about the cool factor than the functional use of the Gyro Bowl! That said, the Gyro Bowl does look pretty cool, though I haven't tried it myself yet. The idea is fabulous - give you kids a snack in a bowl that always stays upright no matter how you … [Read more...]
We all love plants, but watering them is a pain! Caring for your plants takes lots of time and is tedious, especially for hanging plants. It's even worse for people with back or shoulder problems. But what if your hanging plants were controlled by a pulley that lets you raise and lower the plant for easy care? That's where Easy Reach comes in. The Easy Reach Plant Pulley isn't just here to make … [Read more...]
We all know that fresh vegetables are the key to good health, but fresh produce is expensive at the grocery store. And for most of us, we're limited in the amount of garden space we have. The Topsy Turvy Tomato Tree lets you grow one of three different types of tomatoes - UPSIDE DOWN - so that no matter how much space you have, you'll always have access to healthy tomatoes without making a special … [Read more...]
