Infomercials - what a sucker bought…

I am responding to all the responses today because all of them were quite funny! Well, people have asked me what I have purchased… I don’t think I can name names (legally) but I bought a potato peeler glove, which was crap. It didn’t work the friggin potato kept slipping out of my hands and it was like an hour longer than to just use the regular peeler, I bought the Detox pads for the feet, but I screwed up like ten packages before Angelo put it on right. So, the fact that I couldn’t do it by myself, I just gave up, I bought a Detox tub for the feet, but that was also annoying because I spilled it on my rug and I was grossed out by what came out in the tub. Also, to add to this, I had my friend do it and her “crap” looked the same. Do you know that I actually looked at the bottom of my feet to see if I can see where stuff came out of???? HOW STUPID AM I????? Ok, I also bought this leg machine that targets “the area” (ladies you know what I am talking about) it is now collecting dust in my gym, I bought a “sweat suit” that I saw someone wear on a boxing show and bought it off of TV, I sweat so much that it leaked down my pants and I got grossed out so it is now tucked in a drawer. I bought this contraption for the perfect push up and it turns out that you can just do a push up and get the same result. I bought those bags for fruit…. I don’t even know if that ever came…. I know I paid it for it! Have to check on that…

I never bought the makeup, but I did buy some bare mineral type makeup and I liked it but my friends thought I looked like a drag queen because it is a heavy look. I am a big fan of a lot of makeup by the way :) But as we age ladies, I am learning that a water based foundation is better. My friend who bought that mineral makeup had a very bad reaction. Her eyes swelled up - it was really weird.

Love,

“Lost Again Christina”

If you are like me, you have purchased one or more things from the TV. Now, remember in the movie when Mommy Dearest challenges poor little Christina to a pool race and little Christina of course loses? Well, Mommy Dearest says “Lost Again Christina”. When I buy something off the TV and it again does not perform like the ad, I always feel like Christina and I hear that voice saying “Lost again Christina”.

I am ALMOST embarrassed to tell you all the things that I have purchased from the TV, but I will! I get so excited about a product only to find out that it didn’t work or it was crap. Recently Angelo would not allow me to purchase these pills that said you could eat all the crap you want and still lose weight. I was very mad at him for not believing in it. I said “but, baby, they couldn’t say it on TV if it wasn’t true”. And he just rolled his eyes at me. I am gullible; I do believe these ads… I do! My best friend just bought these detox pads for the feet and we are VERY excited about them! I also bought this leg contraption that turned out to be crap! BUT, I will not give up! I know that somewhere, someone has bought something off the TV that worked! PLEASE? I thought at the very least we could make each other laugh or save each other some money….

I am determined to find one product that works! Let’s get the ball rolling:)

Love,

Leah
