Infomercial Junkie
Friday, March 5, 2010 at 09:10PM I have a guilty pleasure. I love infomercials, and since I’ve been getting up so early, I’ve had plenty to choose from. I don’t buy the products, but I do enjoy being sold on them. I like the weight loss/fitness programs, as long as they aren’t too gimmicky like the ab circle or that ab belt thing that is supposed to give you a six pack by just wearing a vibrating belt. I like the ones like Slim in Six, Hip Hop Abs, Insanity, 6 week body makeover, etc. I’m a sucker for a good weight loss/get fit testimonial. They’re inspiring. My reigning fitness favorite is P90X. Those transformations are amazing; those people are pretty hardcore. It looks like something I’d like to take on but I don’t think I’m there mentally or physically--yet! : )
I also love the one for the Cricuit Express. I don’t scrapbook, but it sure makes me want to, want to scrapbook. The stuff they craft is so professional looking. The cut edges are crisp. The colors are vibrant and coordinated. The pages have flow and symmetry. It’s great. I need to find a reason to get one. They show how it cuts fabric for appliqués in quilting, but considering I haven’t finished the first quilt I started, I probably ought to wait until my track record is more proven before dropping the kind of cash it requires. *sigh* Oh well, until then there is always the infomercial, all fantasy and none of the work!
