NEW Anti-Theft Lunch Bags

This is so clever I had to post it. That, and I could really use this at work. I've had food and beverages stolen from me on several occasions. So sad, I know. I'm still a little peeved about my Tupperware that was never returned! Basically, the exterior of these sandwich bags are marked with fake moldy splotches. It is my birthday month and this item is officially on my gift list.

NEW: Pramex™ Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs)

This just confirms that it's not my imagination when I'm sitting inside a mosquito net still being bitten as though I'm a bug buffet. The Pramex Net takes providing protection from biting mosquitoes a step further by putting insecticide into the actual fibers of the net, and releases it slowly over a number of years. For feature and where to buy, click the title. If you get a chance to try one of these, please let me know if it lives up to its claims.

I really don't need to stay up and watch late night TV....

...because I love infomercials (gee, imagine that). What's not to love about them, they're persuasive yet entertaining while offering some of the most creative inventions ever! Rather than blow up your post list how about I list the few I caught this weekend in this ONE post:

InStyler Rotating Hot Iron: This one had me on the edge of my seat. I just kept asking myself, is this the same company as InStyle magazine (my fashion bible)? The logos sure look the same. Then I wondered if it came with one of those warning pictures that you see on machines or garbage disposals... you know the one with the hands reaching for it and the big red slash. I just know myself. I'd definitely put my finger near the barrel just to see what would happen (and I wonder where my kids get it? hmmm)

The Windshield Wonder: I thought this was a handy little gadget. I know what it's like trying reach to stick toll stickers, children's transportation numbers, parking passes, oil change reminders and to remove strip club fliers AND clean what was thrown from the backseat off the windshield. My windshield looks like a bus stop billboard! Point is, I never thought to use a pole to ease my reach. Some much more clever person than myself is now cashing checks.

Passback Football: These poor kids have to play with a wall. ...and they might blow their arms out doing it. So sad.

NEW Woolite Oxy Clean For Steam Machines

Once again, NOT on their site (this is beginning to drive me crazy). You would think that with all the money companies put into launching a new product, they'd be ready to address the public (not just the media with press releases) or at least have information ready about their product IF consumers respond to the marketing and advertising. OK... tangent over.

I was mesmerized at this TV commercials claims and since I can't afford a maid, I'm sure I'll be trying this product eventually. Based on what I think I remember seeing, the dirt sticks to foam and as foam dries, lifts & loosens dirt that you "sweep" away. But wait... there's more! They also have a magic stain remover spray that requires no scrubbing. Even better, chlorine-free and no harsh chemicals. Sounds dreamy to someone that cleans their own carpet. Well, let me be the judge of that... I'll put my two little kids on the case. I can't even identify some of their stains!

Jig-A-Loo USA, Inc. Introduces ALL-NEW Earth Friendly Trash Bags Just in Time for Earth Day

Econogreen is what they're calling it. EconoGreen Plastics bags claim to be better for the planet because they're made from recycled plastics, recyclable, and oxodegradable (which means they contain a catalyst that promotes the breakdown of the plastic by oxidation—yes, I had to look that up). These bags will completely break down within 2 years after use. Considerably less than traditional plastic bags. Now, if we could just throw away less trash, we'll be well on our way!
