The best. I only wish I knew more golfers I could give this to.
Cell Phone Charger & Sanitizer
Honestly, this seems like a pretty smart idea. However, it's $50 - which means I'm probably not going to get one anytime soon. If anything, I'm posting this here 'cause after I watched this video I sort of felt really bummed out by how disgusting my phone probably is every day. That's a reality I would have preferred to live without knowing. So instead of keeping that thought to myself, now you have to bask in it as well. Maybe we can revel in the fact that we're all bacteria-ridden demons who have gross phones!
If you think you're better than me and would like to get one of these, you can buy them at Phone Soap.
Duo Lash Glue
This product? Pure trash. Don't be fooled into thinking it's good just because Sephora endorses it. Don't!
If you're using this glue, you're going to hate putting on false lashes. I've been using it for a few weeks (because I couldn't find the Revlon one I love) and I can't tell you the amount of times I've screamed at that little tube of filth.
The two main problems?
- The glue doesn't stay on as long as the Revlon one.
- The applicator tip? Ugh, it's THE WORST. You have to pour some out on a napkin or piece of paper or something and then drag the lashes across it. BOOO! The Revlon one has an applicator that allows you to paste the glue onto the lashes directly.
For more fake lash talk, go on over here if you missed it the first time around.
Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer
I'm not really the type of person who needs to lotion up in a hurry, but apparently those people exist, so I'd imagine that's who this product is aimed at. But onto the bigger question: is this spray lotion any good? Um, bigtime.
Best part about it? How easily it lets you lotion up your back. That's the most irritating spot to reach when it comes to applying anything, so that's my favourite part about using this stuff. Not sure why they wouldn't mention that in the advertising - I feel like they'd entice a lot more people into trying it out if they knew that it works best on hard-to-reach areas.
Worst part about this lotion? The price ranges from $5 to $11, depending on where you buy it (which makes no sense to me).
If this stuff manages to stay around for longer than a few months, then I'll probably buy another bottle when my current one runs out. Pretty neat idea.
Hair Dryer Stand
When I was in middle school, I would get my hair blow-dried out at salons WAY more than I should have for a thirteen year old girl. Why did I do this? Other than the obvious reason of being spoiled beyond belief, I just didn't know how to do my own hair as nicely as salons can do it. I still don't know how that happens, really. But sometimes I can fake it all right, I think.
She should look way more excited with what's happening, in my opinion.
I just saw this stand in my daily internet perusing and I have to say that I'm extremely curious to see if it's any good. I've always felt that at least three hands are needed when coiffing a 'do. And with this guy? That can practically be a reality. Only $14. Can be bought here.
Dumbbell Alarm Clock
"The wake up work out alarm clock sounds the get in shape alarm by only being able to shut off once you've done 30 bicep reps. Motion sensors inside can tell exactly how many reps you've done and only if you do them right. On the side of the dumbbell shaped alarm clock is a count down timer that counts down the number of reps you've done from 30 to zero as long as your upwards swings are perfect every time."
Umm, this is the best alarm ever. I think it'd be pretty insulting to give as a gift to someone, but I'd love to get one. So great. You can buy one here for $30.
Tip of the Day - Pillow Mist
Have you ever seen this product? You can get it at The Body Shop or through Avon - or basically anywhere with women's products. And like a rube, I've bought varying "flavours".
Verdict? They're all bullshit. ALL. And I'm a moron for thinking that a certain kind of scent would lull me into some kind of heavenly abyss. Ain't gonna happen. Want to hear a better idea? Wash your damn sheets.
Yonanas - A Review
Yonanas is an ice cream treat maker. I recently got one (thanks Gary & Amanda!) and there are a few things you should know about it.
How do you use it? You freeze up some fruit (minus the peels, if there are peels) and make sure that it's in your freezer in some kind of ziplock/tupperware-like container. Once it's frozen (a few hours), you can use it in the machine and make ice cream. And there's nothing added, it's pure frozen fruit. So if dairy is ever a problem for you, then you need this machine immediately.
Things You Should Know
- Do not try this with old, disgusting frozen fruit that has been sitting in your freezer for at least a year. I tried this genius idea and it spewed out little pieces of blueberry garbage. And since this was my maiden voyage of using this machine, I was deeply hurt that it didn't turn out like what was in the infomercial. I was in the wrong here, not the machine. DO NOT USE OLD FROZEN FRUIT.
- This stuff really does have the consistency of ice cream. It's weird. I tried some peeled cantaloupe next and... wow. If I'm ever adult enough to throw dinner parties or even to make a meal for my parents, this dessert is definitely being made. So classy! Cantaloupe ice cream? Get out of here. I'll be admissible for country clubs if word gets out.
- While the cantaloupe one was good, the bananas one? Out of this world. Just amazing. If you are ever at my house, demand that I make you some of the banana.
- Also, that photo up top? Whatever is in that bowl looks gross and is NOT the way that the fruit comes out. It's way more ice cream-y looking.
There are some great recipes here, which I'll try eventually once I've calmed down from the banana. It's usually around $55 and completely worth it. You can get one on Amazon, but you might be able to find a cheaper one in a Wal-Mart or Target possibly.
“I wish you had brought your Yonanas over. That stuff is amazing.”
“Wow.”
Dog Water Bottle & Travel Bottle
Have these existed for years already and I just never saw one? Such a great idea. You can buy different sized ones on Amazon for roughly $10.
Ford Ad
This is an ad I just saw on the back of a magazine. I'm posting it here because I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS. Is it some sort of play on the name Trinidad AND Tobago? And if so... that doesn't make any sense? 'Cause you can't drive to either of those places since they are physically two islands, separated by water. Is that the joke? That you can't drive there but a Ford will allow you to? I DON'T GET IT. And I think I'm maybe 50% smart (maybe even 90% smart when it comes to ads). Anyway, if you understand it, please either email me what it means or tell me privately. I've already sent Ford an email that I probably won't get a response to since people aren't keen to explain jokes, I'd imagine.
EDIT NOTE: My dear cousin Jackie just explained what they're trying to do: "Their new campaign scheme has been the benefits of "and" rather than "or". But you're right, this example is just geographically flawed. And clearly the tourist's choice would be Tobago." Thank you, Jackie! And yes, Tobago is fantastic, go there, everyone.
