Spring Fling: Topsy Turvy Hummingbird Hangout Planter

Spring Fling: Topsy Turvy Hummingbird Hangout Planter

Spring is finally here and what better to do than to fill your garden? Topsy Turvy just released its new Topsy Turvy Hummingbird Hangout Planter. Simply hang the planter in an outside environment and watch as the Topsy Turvy Hummingbird Planter sprouts into a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
This Topsy Turvy creates a natural habitat for just about any breed of hummingbird and grows several dozen nectar flowers all season long. A perfect center piece in the middle of anyone’s backyard or garden, the Topsy Turvy Hummingbird Hangout Planter is a solid addition to the upside down gardening phenomenon.
Topsy Turvy have always been about saving time, space, and effort, especially if you want to create a gorgeous landscape for literally no money. I know that after seeing this product I’ll probably try it out. Hummingbird Planters are a dime-a-dozen, and at times are a little overrated. Topsy Turvy is pretty smart  by adding this to their arsenal. With the debut of hot peppers and strawberries to their original upside down tomato planter, this is a nice change that is sure to get some attention.
It is surely to get a lot of attention in the next couple of months as the weather starts to warm up.

Creative Column: Perfect Fit Button

We at As Seen On TV & More love to go out and eat for lunch. Mexican, Greek, Italian, Seafood, or just a fresh deli sandwich with an ice cold soda or iced tea; when 1pm hits, our brains start storming with food ideas. But after downing 24 hot wings in a single sitting, the pants get a little tight, so why not have a backup plan for those popped button mishaps? What if we told you there’s a simple but effective way to lose weight without having to diet? Well, there is! The Perfect Fit Button! I know I personally would just tell someone I lost 5lbs when really I snapped the perfect fit button on and expanded my pants size!
I, know, this blog is ridiculous, but how else can you justify snapping on a metal button to expand your pants? You might get a laugh out of this small column, but in reality this product will at least save you some time and money by prolonging your jeans’ life. Simply snap the button on (comes in different colors and materials), and attach your jean flap to it, increasing your pants another size. The Perfect Fit Button is a great idea. It’s a little out there, but what TV product isn’t?
Look for the Perfect Fit Button in an As Seen On TV store near you, as well as a solid run of national infomercial campaigns in your local area. It’s handy to have, convenient to be saved by, and no one has to know. Finally, aside from its funniness, it actually is very useful.

TV Product Extravaganza: Blades, Critters, and lots of Soap

TV Product Extravaganza: Blades, Critters, and lots of Soap

Are you ready for a montage of television product mayhem? Let’s talk about some cool items that are out there now, or will be soon. As Seen On TV & More has never been so excited to be getting these products:
Yoshi Blade: Tired of cutting your finger off while trying to slice and dice those exquisitely fresh vegetables at dinnertime? We didn’t think so, but we do know how to increase safety in the kitchen with a blade that will never lose its sharpness. The Yoshi Blade ceramic cutting knife is a revolutionary product that creates a safe environment for those kitchen gurus and serious amateurs. The buzz this blade has created across the United States is definitely unprecedented compared to any other TV knife set out on the market today. The secret is that it’s made of Zirconium Oxide, which is said to be 40% stronger than steel. The knife can cut anything and it won’t rust or pit. It’s more of an investment than anything else. Why constantly having to buy new knife sets, because you cannot afford top shelf, when you can buy one blade and do it all. Personally, I think the Yoshi Blade is a good product. Ceramic blades have been out for quite some time, so we as consumers are used this tune, but the Yoshi Blade itself has had great reviews. Best of all, it’s guaranteed for life to stay sharp. Where can you go wrong? I’m usually pretty skeptical on these types of products, but a knife is a knife, but I wouldn’t go against at least trying it out and seeing what it can do.
Soap Magic: We all love to put our hands under an automatic dispenser and have soap come pouring down. Convenience sells. That’s what makes As Seen On TV products fly off the shelves. It’s an impulse, it’s supposed to take a step out of your life to make it more comfortable, and it’s supposed to be at an affordable price. You take all three of those factors and you’re making millions of dollars a year. So why not bring an expensive invention and downsize it into a home affordable time saver. Now, we don’t know how much time you’re really going to save, but we do know that this Soap Magic soap dispenser will turn a few heads in the bathroom at your house party. With the abundance of pump soap and even lotion bottles, this Soap Magic product may get enveloped by its creative mediocrity, but being an As Seen On TV product, we’ll certainly eat our words. The product is relatively simple: Fill it up with soap or shampoo or even certain lotions, and wave your hand underneath. After a second you’ll have a fresh squirt of soap or lotion nestled in that dirty or dry hand of yours. The site even portrays it dispensing medicine at perfect amounts, but we wouldn’t really recommend relying on the Soap Magic to contain your precious medications for children; unless your entirely sure you’ve washed it out between soaps.
Shoe Dini: This one is a quickie. Do you like shoe horns? Do you have a bad back? POW! ShoeDini is in your face and ready to rock your lower back socks off. Take this handy little product and watch as this ordinary shoe horn comes with a built-in telescopic arm that extends itself. Now, you don’t have to bend down or crouch to take off your shoe. Just extend the ShoeDini, insert it in the back of your shoe, and pop it right off. We should of thought of this…
Crazy Critter: Are you tired of your dog tearing apart new toys in seconds, enthralling themselves in the thrill of mauling a helpless stuffed Care Bear? Well, man do we have the product for you! Crazy Critters is a stuffing free plush toy that is made for those nibbly little teeth that like to go for the squeaky innards. This toy is safe, durable, and is fun for weeks compared to the regular stuffed toy. We like how the site says, “-they even squeak, making your dog think he or she is playing with a friend.” Let us know the next time your canine gets their paws on a raccoon. We’d like to know not only if it squeaks, but if it’s a friendly squeak. Hahaha. Aside from some exaggerated ad copy, this product is really a good idea, whether or not the concept has been out for awhile. Be sure to look for the Crazy Critter on our site soon.
Coming Soon:
Big Top Donut: Yes, it’s true, not only will you be able to make a very large donut, but you will probably want to look for a Big Top Coffee Cup to dunk it in. We don’t have too much information on it, but we’re certainly going to blog about it very soon. Big Top Donut, we just hope you can put sprinkles on it!

Product Spot: Garden Groom Garden Barber

Hedges, we love them, we hate them, it’s a relationship that makes The Notebook look like a kid’s movie. All those different heavy duty trimmers, hedge cutters, and bushslicers, we as consumers end up with five different tools that end up doing all the same thing. What if we told you that we had a little conversation with your hedges and they said you’re horrible at grooming them?

Don’t worry, we’ll save you from another mental breakdown on those beautiful Sunday mornings. The Garden Groom Garden Barber is an all-in-one device that safely trims and cleans your hedges while suck the left over leaves and twigs into a medium-sized catch bag. It’s like a vacuum and trimmer all in one.

Simply throw the Garden Barber strap over your shoulder (holding the durable triple woven bag) and turn on the Garden Barber. Trim your hedges into gorgeous sculptures in the same manner as if you’re vacuuming your house. It’s so easy, anyone can do it. We here at As Seen On TV & More thought this product was a huge step forward for Garden Groom. Originally they debuted the Garden Groom Pro and Mini, but consumers seemed to come back with complaints of its bulkiness and inconsistency. Not only that, but it didn’t really collect any garbage. That’s where the Garden Groom’s Garden Barber makes leaps and bounds. Using its long life lithium battery technology, this device eliminates clean-up, reduces trimmings 10:1, has a super safe concealed dual blade system, and most importantly, it’s cordless.

Why hurt your back or strain your arms holding up heavy trimming devices, when you can safely sculpt your works of art with the Garden Barber from Garden Groom.

Product Spot: Celebrity Styler by Paris Hilton

Hair products are a touchy subject with men and women consumers across the board. Hair devices are even more a high standard to pass customer tests and critiques for As Seen On TV products. The InStyler was released not too long ago with a booming success, minus some predictable knock-offs and counterfeits poking out their ugly heads. The InStyler did and still is doing exceptionally well. What more can you ask from a device that not only curls your hair on a whim and is friendly to practically every texture and thickness of hair? But, on the horizon, there’s a spin off that blogs and the social media is buzzing about. Known in some blogs as the, “InStyler Killer,” the Celebrity Styler by Paris Hilton showcased itself recently with not only an upgraded body, but the features are way too hard to pass up on.

The Celebrity Styler by Paris Hilton function likes the InStyler, including a spinning heated roller on a toothed hair brush, but it also can act as a hair-straightener. Not only that, but the product itself is made of quality materials. The roller is made with ceramic tourmaline, which is the same material as the Chi and the Sedu, and the roller can be stopped while the device  straightens any type of hair, wet or dry. Can we say, versatile? This seems to be the all-in-one hair product for home, travel, and dare I say before that big production on stage?  Get the star treatment with an upgraded infrared heating element that can be set on a digital LED display at the base of the Celebrity Styler. Take frizzy, dry hair, and make it into star-quality straight or curled hair before your photo shoot.
Sorry, InStyler, but the Celebrity Styler by Paris Hilton just looks too good to not do a double-take. At $79.95, you really cannot beat the price compared to single flat or curling iron prices alone. Why by two separate products, when you can purchase an all-in-one hair magic device!

Product Spot: Grand Grill Daddy Platinum

A grill to a man is like spinach to Popeye. As soon as you open it up, your muscles start to bulk  and your inner grunting man begins  to surface.  What’s better than a mouthwatering Bubba burger right off a charcoal or gas grill? Think of a perfect burger, smothered with the freshest of mayonnaise, cold iceberg lettuce, a sliced tomato all sandwiched together with two puffy wheat hamburger rolls. But, what happens after the party, and your grill is stuck with a film of burnt meat, soot, and grime? That’s where the Grill Daddy comes in…
Far superior than the average cleaning tool, the Grill Daddy uses the power of steam to cut through the hardest of dirt. All you have to do is fill the reservoir up with water and let the heat from the grill begin to start churning science within your Grill Daddy. Using the stainless steel brush head, scrub those worries away and be left with only the cleanest of grill tops. For the last couple of years, the Grill Daddy and Grill Daddy Pro (large version) has been a huge hit during the summer time, and more importantly, during Father’s Day. All the dads in the world grunt in unison for this cleaning beast of a tool.
But wait, there’s more (inserted stereotypical infomercial phrase)!
When you thought the Grill Daddy and Grill Daddy Pro was just enough to get those man juices flowing, let your jaw drop over the newest addition to the Grill Daddy line, the Grand Grill Daddy Platinum. Yes, the company did just add two awesome adjectives to debut their new grill cleaning tool, and we love it.
The difference between this Grand Grill Daddy Platinum and the others is that this one is made fully in stainless-steel alloy with an included replacement brush to boot. How amazing is that? If this isn’t the perfect Father’s Day present, I don’t know what is. This product has excellent leverage, which the Grill Daddy is really known for, so you can scrape those hard to get spots. This products measures at around 7.5″x20″x6″.
So, the real question is. Are you man enough for the Grand Grill Daddy Platinum this Spring?
The BodiRocker: Harnessing Your Core Strength

The BodiRocker: Harnessing Your Core Strength

Fitness products have gone through a lot of transformation over the years. Consumers at home are looking for a piece of equipment that can do it all and that puts a lot of stress on manufacturing and marketing companies to churn out something amazing. From tangible workout devices such as the Ab Circle Pro and the Iron Gym, to video work-a-longs like Insanity and Richard Simmons, people are thirsty for an all around exercise system; that’s when BodiPro Technologies stepped into the limelight with their debut of the BodiRocker a couple months ago to quench it.
The BodiRocker was created to target the problems that a lot of fitness products have today about not working core strength. Core strength, though popular around the abdominal muscles, are actually the stability in the spine, lower back muscles, pelvic area, and the entire length of the torso. In the last couple of years, core strength training has become a trend in gym outlets, workout systems, and online blogging.  More and more people are intrigued with how to harness the power of the core. A lot of it is hype, and the actual core muscle system exercise has been around for quite some time. The difference between then and now, is that the BodiRocker landed onto a genuine core workout device that consumers should be very happy about.
Anthony Kest of BodiPro Technologies sent us this blurb about the product itself in a brief but informational explanation:
“The Bodirocker solves many issues people have with other core products on the market from injuries to performance and received a strong patent within one year of filing because of its unique features. The Power Roller feature which can be engaged underneath the product intensifies the balancing element in all directions and the body balance meter helps guide you visually during use. The multiple hand settings helps target specific muscle groups and accommodates different size users.”
This fitness product looks like a solid curve. The composite plastic body is hard, durable, yet very comfortable to hold your body weight doing push-ups and exercises. The teetering motion of the BodiRocker is not only challenging but definitely targets those core muscles without even trying.  The product itself works the core and the upper body (chest, arms, and back muscles), as well as its use in Yoga and Pilates.  It has what Kest called the “body balance meter” which helps you balance while working out. It helps the user properly execute every rep, making sure the person is safely and properly contracting and stretching the muscle. Balance is key. It’s a proven method no matter what style of workout a “gym-goer” professes; and the BodiRocker works beautifully to enhance it.
BodiPro also tagged this about the BodiRocker:
“The BodiRocker’s innovative design delivers a 2-in-1 workout—strength training and core training, simultaneously. As you strength train your shoulders, chest and arms your core muscles are also engaged as you control the rocking motion of the BodiRocker. This means that during each rep, your upper body muscles are engaged while your core stabilizer muscles are activated. This 2-in-1 feature means that with each rep, you get double the results in half the time. Because the BodiRocker uses your balance to control the rocking motion, each and every repetition is intensified, engaging more muscle activity — especially in your abs and back. You’ll develop more lean muscle, burn more calories and see the difference as your trouble spots are transformed.”
Traditionally, fitness products are a dime-a-dozen, and the consumer is usually very skeptical on if it actually works these days. People go to blogs, review sites, and word of mouth to really decide for themselves if products like these are worthy of their time. I don’t think the BodiRocker will have any problem at all from just the infomercial alone.
The BodiRocker comes with 3 DVD Videos:
  • -Yoga and Pilates
  • -AbCore Workout
  • -Chest & Arms Workout
