Wonder Hanger...Wonder WTF

K, so I've been using the Wonder Hanger for about 6 months now.  And I don't know why.

It promises to take my closet, which really does look like this: 









Into something that looks happy like this:










Let me be blunt here.  My closet still looks like pic #1.  Just with wonder hangers in it.

I'm BAACK... PedEgg

The PedEgg!


First, let me just say this blog will be void of disgusting photos of my feet.  They are in fact, just that - disgusting and scaly and an insult to female feet everywhere.  I was blessed with my father's feet, and they are closest to the ugliest feet I've ever seen in my life.  His toes are sideways.  While mine still face forward, I am concerned they will start looking at each other any day now.

The PedEgg had high hopes!  An at-home pedicure that I could fudge between actually getting a real pedicure.  (The real trick would be if the PedEgg could give me that hour of sanity I recover at the spa. HA! Now that you could sell...quick...someone get on that...) 

I started by soaking my feet in warm water for a spell, and even added a Fresh bath cube to help them along.  I got out my PedEgg, and started with my heels.  After what seems like forever, I checked it out.  It seemed to do the trick!  I also used the emery finishing pad to smooth any rough spots.  The emery pad was a slight disappointment, I think the grain was too small.  On to the balls of my feet...and this is where I hit a snag.  Literally.  I am so hard on my feet, the dear PedEgg could not keep up and I was left with sharp callous knives that threaten to deflate my flip flops.  (Which is why my feet look so bad in the first place. Bad flip flops! Bad!)

I emptied the little PedEgg and gave it a rest.  My heels looked fab, but the rest of me still needed some TLC. 

Verdict:  If you are not hard on your feet (as I am), this is totally a viable product.  And it was only $9.95!!  Totally worth it.

Special Review: MISTER STEAMY

Mister Steamy


Maybe you've seen Mister Steamy on TV.  I did, and guess what...it was enough to make me not buy one.  Here are some reasons why I decided to review Mister Steamy (https://www.mistersteamy.com/) without even purchasing it and trying it out:




  1. It says it creates steam in your dryer to help release wrinkles.  Well guess what Mister Steamy?  That is what a dryer does with wet clothes without your help.  Holy cow.
  2. You can put a fragrance in Mister Steamy to give your clothes a fresh scent.  Hellooooo dryer sheets?
  3. Put in a Mister Steamy if you forgot about your load for hours to release those wrinkles.  Hey, put in a damp friggin washrag, and you can do the same thing!!!!!!!!!
In summary, Mister Steamy is a wet washrag and a dryer sheet in one.  And it costs $19.95.

Stay tuned for my next actual product review... the PedEgg!

The First Pick: SNUGGIE w/ FREE BOOK LIGHT!

Alrighty guys, you know I love crap.  Not just any crap, the kind of crap that you wouldn't buy but you can't help buying because you know it's total crap.  (4 x crap)  Anyway, every year on Christmas Eve we have a White Elephant gift exchange, and my lovely mother bought a Snuggie to put in the mix.  Becky got it first, mom of southside guitar-playin', Eli Young band-opening phenom Ryan Lee Evans , then I stole it from her...and then MY FATHER steals it from me FOR MY MOTHER.  Didn't she buy it for the gift exchange?  If ya wanted it ma, you should have just kept it and wrapped up some old bacon or something.  Then the present was dead.  :::cries:::  The next day, as we are opening presents, alas there is the Snuggie.  And on the day of Jesus' birth, my blog is born......


So here's my review of the Snuggie(r) with Free Book Light. 

1.  It's blue. 
2.  It's fleece.
3.  It's the same fleece that is made from say........a jacket worn by a stuffed animal you'd get out of one of those "claw" games.
4.  It's a robe that you put on backwards, not a blanket with sleeves.
5.  It doesn't even fit all the way around you as a robe.  (see photo of our model, Ashley)














6.  It's best used when reading a Twilight Saga book (with FREE BOOK LIGHT) and your 2 year old.













Some highlights from the box include
  • "Keeps you warm and your hands free!"  (because you and I both know that is strictly IMPOSSIBLE to use your hands with those darn blankets!) 
  • "It does not slip and slide like a regular blanket."  (because we all own satin blankets...???)
  • "You can also use outside to keep warm at sporting events!" (and get punched in the face and never spoken to again by your children)
And the piece de resistance:
Verdict:  TOTAL CRAP  (just use a blanket)

I'll be happy to review things you want to see...just leave me a comment and let me know.  I have some things on hand, but I'll go out and buy almost anything.  You know why, because I love crap.
