I have a snuggie but I can't keep it up. I didn't think about velcro strips..It is nice but my back stays cold.

Snuggie = backward robe

It may look silly but hey, I've probably looked sillier than a deranged choir member to stay warm in the past!

Dumbest product, IMO, is the Bumpit. We did the same styles 15-20 years ago without the stupid piece of plastic under our hair. We used our real hair to get the "bumps" or volume. It's called teasing. Rat tail combs work best. And hair spray. You still have to use that with the Bumpit thingie, so you may as well just save yourself the $10 and tease.

there was a 'special towel' out that you soaked (i believe it was 'as seen on tv') and put in the microwave for 1 min. and after you could just wipe all the stuck-on stuff clean in one wipe.
you can get the same results with a wet rag/washcloth for free

And anything named bum-pit (I can't help but say it as two words) deserves to fail.

I think bumpits are stupid (I'm not into big hair), but they work really well. I don't own one, but I work in a store that sells them and they sell like crazy. Nobody has ever come back and said it doesn't work. A lot of people say when they tease their hair the bump doesn't stay or its so hard to brush after beacuse their hair is teased. The bumpit makes the bump in your hair stay plus you only have to lightly tease your hair.

Didn't mean for that to sound like an ad for bumpits, I'm just used to telling people about them every day.

I actually, have and use bumpits, and I don't tease before I use it, and I like it a lot, I only use the small one though for a little volume behind a headband once in a while

regretsy is hilarious! I second the vanilla-mint tooth paste, as well as the mouth wash. I bought both on sale and couldn't finish them! I recently saw an add for a vibrating mascara, made by one of the major cosmetics companies- I don't understand the benefit of a vibrating mascara.

The mascara doesn't vibrate, the wand you put it on with does and it's been around (made by more expensive brand companies) for a while.

Not sure I really get the point of it, either.

OK OK OK, i'm a man. i realize taht means i'm somewhat disabled by nature to all you females, but can someone help me out here.

instead of wearing a slanket/ snuggie, couldn't you just put your robe on backwards? that's all it is isn't it?

But that would look stupid!
and not at all like some cult member robes (when you see them all together in the commercial it sort of does look that way..).

I just put an extra clothes on and use a blanket.

I actually had the vibrating mascara. The point of the brush vibrating is the vibration is supposed to help seperate eyelashes and also make the mascara go on evenly. Basically its a bunch of crap. It isn't supposed to clump, like almost ALL mascara, but it does. The vibration is just annoying.

Maybe they have the same problem I do? Some stuff just seems to tear it to bits in no time.
It does work great for removing scuff marks and ink - which is pretty much the only use I have for it.

The magic eraser works great for cleaning walls and windows. I was helping clean a house that had been smoked in and not cleaned for like more than 15yrs and there was a buildup of smoke, nicotine, and gunk on everything. The magic eraser dunked into a bucket of hot spic & span water worked pretty good.
