The Review for the Sham Wow is In 30Mar09

Have you ever wanted to test out any of these As Seen on TV items to see if they actually do what they say the will accomplish? Cardiogirl has done just that. She has taken some top As Seen on TV items, used them, and then reviewed them. Her latest As Seen on TV item adventure was the Sham Wow. She gave the Sham Wow 3.5 Cardio Stomps out of 5.


Sham Wow The Sham Wow is a towel designed to be super absorbent. The Sham Wow can also help to clean windows, cars, and dishes. Cardiogirl put the Sham Wow to the test and performed her own Sham Wow experiments. Cardiogirl’s Sham Wow tests included picking up liquid from a couch and rug, drying a bathing suit, on her hair, and more. Cardiogirl says, “I give it 3.5 Cardio Stomps out of 5. One point five stomps were removed because it doesn’t work well for me when its dry and it did drip a bit. But overall I was very happy.”

Michelle Obama To Plant Her Own Vegetable Garden 25Mar09

I heard on the radio into work the other morning that our new First Lady, Michelle Obama, plans to create, and maintain, her own vegetable garden and give those vegetables to the chefs in the White House to use. We can use Michelle Obama as our motivation to get outside this spring and start growing our own vegetables as well.


So, while First Lady, Michelle Obama, may have a horticultural skill, others may not. Therefore, we have tools to help us in our vegetable garden adventure.


Awesome Auger The Awesome Auger is the As Seen on TV garden tool from last year that will never go out of style. The Awesome Auger attaches to any size drill, and can help get your ground ready to plant your new vegetable garden. While the Awesome Auger has many other uses as well, it will help a great deal in the beginning stages of your garden.


Portable Sprinkler System Aqua Globes You may find it difficult to remember to water your vegetable garden, or have the confidence that you give it the proper amount of water. Two (out of many options) that you have are to use a sprinkler system, or the very popular, Aqua Globes. A Portable Sprinkler System attaches right to your outdoor spigot and the 3 sprinkler heads can be positioned however you want. The Portable Sprinkler System is great because you can also use this to keep your whole lawn watered regularly as well. A second option to making sure your vegetable garden gets the water it needs is to use the well-known As Seen on TV item, the Aqua Globes. The hand blown Aqua Globes are designed to properly water the plants with the correct amount of water – not too much, and not too little. The Aqua Globes also work great if you decide to go away and you want to make sure your vegetable garden is maintained. With these watering options, you can relax when it comes to watering your garden.


Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower If you decide a full backyard garden is not for you, you still have the option to grown your own vegetables at home with the Topsy Turvy. The Topsy Turvy now has 3 varieties to grow plants, vegetables, herbs, and flowers at home even without a yard. The Topsy Turvy hangs and grows your vegetables up-side-down, so even the apartment/condo owner can enjoy fresh vegetables as well. Try out the Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower to grow tomatoes, other veggies, herbs, and flowers. Also try the new Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter for strawberries and herbs, and the Topsy Turvy Hot Pepper Planter for the hot peppers to spice up your home-cooked meals.


Will you decide to join First Lady, Michelle Obama, and start your own vegetable garden? What veggies will you decide to grow this year?

The New Topsy Turvy Planters 19Mar09

It is almost spring! Time to start putting away the heavy sweaters, and bring out the T-shirts. It’s also time for the snow to melt, the temperatures to rise, spend more time outside, and one of my favorite things is fresh, home-grown vegetables. Of course, I am not gardener by any means, and I live in an apartment which means I do not have a backyard to even attempt growing a vegetable garden. So how can I still participate in growing my own fruits and veggies? The Topsy Turvy!


Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower Last year the Topsy Turvy debuted, and it was a hit! The Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower hangs, and all you have to do is put the tomato plant, soil, and water inside the grower, and the tomatoes grow. The great parts about the Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower are that you do not need to have a garden, you do not need to sit on your knees all day long in the dirt, and it grows more than just tomatoes. While named “Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower,” you can still plant other vegetables and even flowers with the Topsy Turvy.


Topsy Turvy Tomato Strawberry Planter Topsy Turvy Tomato Hot Pepper Planter The Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower was such a great idea, that this year the Topsy Turvy has expanded; we now have two other options within the Topsy Turvy Planter family! We now have the Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter, and the Topsy Turvy Hot Pepper Planter.


Both new Topsy Turvy Planters work just like the original Topsy Turvy, and still no garden needed. Just hang the new Topsy Turvy Planter on a balcony, porch or patio, and watch your fruits and vegetables grow. You can use the Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter to grow your favorite fresh herbs as well.


Now that the warm weather approaches, those of us with either lack of gardening skills, or lack of actually having a garden, can enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables too. We have 3 great Topsy Turvy Planter options this year. The original Topsy Turvy Tomato Grower which also is great for growing other vegetables. And the new Topsy Turvy Strawberry Planter, to be used to grow fresh herbs as well, and the Topsy Turvy Hot Pepper Planter to add a spicy kick to your cooking! Enjoy the spring and your new fresh veggies and fruit!

First Lady, Michelle Obama T-Shirt 16Mar09

Michelle Obama Shirt Sometimes we just need a change; we need something new. Follow the lead of our new First Lady, Michelle Obama, and help celebrate equality with the Michelle Obama Shirt!


Our first lady, Michelle Obama, is doing what she can to promote her call for equality. A big hit right now is the Michelle Obama T-shirt. As part of the traditional women’s strength “We Can Do It” message, Michelle Obama flexes her arm muscles for equality. Women (and men) can now wear this powerful, positive message anytime with the Michelle Obama “We Can Do It” tee.


What do you think about the new T-shirt with Michelle Obama showing off her muscles?

Organize Your Jewelry Drawer 06Mar09

If you rarely wear jewelry, it still is a good idea to keep it organized. You can lose items or misplace them during infrequent use, but an organization plan can alleviate these problems. A proper jewelry storage system can display your earrings and necklaces while serving as a decorative element of your room.


Place small hooks on the wall or along the inside of an armoire to store all of your necklaces in an easily visible location that is also safe for your jewelry. This can free up space in your drawer for the rest of your jewelry. You can also drape necklaces over cups, small bowls, small plates, or other similar items. This provides enough space to avoid tangling.


Leather Ring Box If you own many rings, you should use a see through storage container which can make it easier to find the ring you want to wear. A popular and easy way to store rings is to purchase an organizer with posts that hold each ring individually. However, these can take up a great deal of space, and sometimes it is better to buy a ring box designed to hold each ring separately. One can even find boxes with clear tops in order to display rings well.

The important part about storing earrings is that they are kept separately in order to avoid having them get misplaced or damaged. There are many ways to accomplish this, ranging from simply buying a cushion and having the earrings rest in the cushion, cushioning the entire drawer so that rings can easily be stored within, or buying an earring case with compartments to store each pair of earrings separately.


Jewelry Armoire There are ways to go beyond the drawer to store your jewelry. Well-designed jewelry armories come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. Some models are very simple like a hinged mirror cabinet with a compartment to store the jewelry. Others are more elaborate and can store hundreds of items in a very attractive way. Most of these products come with built in hooks and compartments to make it easy for you to divide your jewelry well.


A good system can help keep your jewelry away from harm, untangled and easily accessible. Beyond that, jewelry storage can provide decorative elements to brighten any room. Be willing to invest in quality storage products, and your ideal jewelry display can become true.
