This is why i love my bullet so much. I also make a protein shake most mornings. I can just blend everything in the cup, put a lid on it, be on my way and throw it in the dishwasher . Easy peasy!

I like my Magic Bullet, we've used it a lot and it still does pretty well.

I want the Shticky and that punch thing that hangs pictures (which I suspect is crap but I can't resist).

No judgement here, I have one too. And I keep it folded behind a throw pillow on my sofa year round.

Welllll I've only done the first 3 workouts so far, but I love them. Not obnoxiously hard, but challenging enough. And I love that they are only 30 minutes.

I have not done long or consistently enough to say about "results" though.

Never bought an infomercial product, but I found myself compelled to watch all the way through a Wen hair care commercial the other day.

It was very persuasive...but I should probably read some reviews first.

I bought:

- A steam cleaner - forget which one. Great concept but sometimes you need to just use cleansers. Steam isn't the be all and end all.

- The Ninja - hated it. Some lucky goodwill shopper got mine for dirt cheap. I now use an immersion blender and hope to get an upgrade (the Bamix) for my birthday this month. I also regret getting rid of my classic Oster or Procter Silex - can't really remember the brand name but I still have a spare glass jar for it. I'm definitely going to replace it one day.

- I just got Jillian's Body Revolution. I fell off the exercise wagon a couple of years ago (eek!). I've started it twice already, and will start again. Work has gotten in the way, but I believe I made a good choice for someone restarting exercise. Phase 1 is just challenging enough for me and a half hour workout a day is just right. I just have to get my consistency going.

- I bought the original vacuumm sealer machine. I kind of liked it but it wasn't really all that convenient to use. I am an apartment dweller with a limited counter space and a gadget like that just wasn't worth lugging out all the time. I now have one of those Reynolds hand held vacuum sealers and I love it and use it every day.

- I now have my eye on the Push Up Pump but I think it's over priced. I've always had trouble with push ups, even at my fittest and for some reason I think this gadget will help me progress. I will be looking for this at a discounted price in places like Walmart, etc.

I thin my favorite infomercial of all time is the magic bullet (or one of those blender ones) because it had a plot line! Most infomercials were boring, but not the magic bullet. I don't know if anyone remembers it, but it had this jaunty couple making breakfast for two other couples and they talked about how easy!! And fun!! It is to chop fruits and make omelette a and smoothies with the magic bullet! And there was this one surly guy who was disbelieving until he true a smoothie and then his life was changed and he became a convert. I used to stay up and watch infomercials and for some reason I could watch that one over and over again. The acting was superb.

My sister bought me a magic bullet for x-mas. or more like she got a second one for free and she gave me thefree one. But i do love it. It doesnt work as well as the informercail portays it, but i still think it is awseome. I dont like the juicer componet because either i dont know how to use it correctly or it just doesnt work. i love the other parts to it. yeah it does take longer then a few seconds to blend stuff but so does other blenders.

Snuggie!! I wear two at once - one backwards then one forwards so I'm covered from all cozy angles lol.

My magic bullet is the worst! I don't like it at all.
Love my George Foreman grill!!
