Raise your hand if you have ever bought something because you saw it on television. My hand is raised. I've have been doing it for years. The first thing I ever bought because I saw it on television was a huge white family bible, and thats before I had a family of my own. I got on the phone and ordered it. I'll admit, I was nervous that first time, but I was a virgin when it came to buying from television. I bought my Juice man Juicer and my Suzanne Somers' "thigh-master" from television infomercials. I was unrelentingly teased by all my peers for the thigh-master purchase, but I used that Juice man for more than a decade. My "Shake weight" was seen on TV, as was our son's Criss Angel Magic Kit. Last Christmas, we bought him one of those gravity defying balls after he saw it on TV.

I picked two things I knew would work and one I really just wanted to try. I wanted to try the "heel-tastic" intensive heel therapy. Even with all the water I drink, the heels of my feet tend to become dry and cracked especially in the warmer months. It looks pretty easy to use. I'll let you know if it works. If it does, it will save me a fortune in lotions.
I also bought some green bags for our bananas. I have used them before and they really help the bananas last longer, keep from browning. Its scientific, I'm told. I don't know much about the science. I just know they work. And well, I am tired of throwing bananas out before their time. Lately, we have been buying a lot of bananas. I have one in my smoothie every day and my husband likes to take them to work. Even our youngest likes to grab a banana after school now and then. Just remember, if you buy them, tell your significant other these bags are unique. I didn't. My husband unknowingly ripped the first one open and I kind of lost it. "Didn't you think that it was unusual to have the bananas in these special green bags?", I asked. I mean, I don't usually have bananas in bags at all. Ugh... Anyway, "Green Bags" aren't cheap, but if you take care of them (and try not to rip them open), they will last practically forever.
