This is one of those widely known but yet edgy topics about the human body. You know, that old age and “Gravity Sucks.” We all have heard it and know that one day, whether we be man or woman that gravity does have somewhat of an undesirable effect on certain areas of our anatomy. Of course, we hear more of it in reference to the female body than the male. So what are we to do to counter act the forces of nature. Well, the creators of Bare Lifts have come up with one solution.
Is it possible for a product to do its job too well? Might some products deliver on the promises in their infomercial just a bit more than a lazy guy like me would want? I think so. I'm talking specifically about the infomercial for Quick Lawn.
Here's the promise of the commercial. Quicklawn is a "four season grass seed." That means it grows lush, green grass on your lawn, no matter what the climate outside. It resists the harsh elements and just grows. And it grows into the most beautiful shade of green that you've ever seen. As the cheesy tag line in the commercial says, "Sow it, grow it, and before you know it, mow it."
My neighbor uses Quicklawn, and it does it job spectacularly. I will admit that his lawn is always the envy of my neighborhood. And I'll also admit that my wife routinely complains, "Why can't our lawn look as great as the Millers'?"
But see, that's what worries me. That's why I think this product might just work TOO well. Notice the last seven words of the Quicklawn tag line: "And before you know it, mow it." Yep, there's the rub. Grass that grows all year means a wife that asks me to MOW it all year long. Put in plain English, it takes away my cold-weather excuse for laziness! How dare they do that to me! Before you know it, some innovator will invent the seven-day-a-week trash delivery service--which means I have to take out the trash seven days a week.
Seriously, if having a lawn that this the envy of your neighbors, even in the fall and spring, is important to you, no product does it better than Quicklawn. But if you're a lazy couch potato, just be forewarned.
At first, the thing that I resented most about the commercial for the LEE MAJORS BIONIC HEARING AID was the use of Lee Majors to sell it. After all, they're playing off the fact that Lee Majors was "The Six Million Dollar Man," the 1970s television hero who had several mechanical parts, including a super-powered bionic ear. I was disturbed that they would use him because it seemed to me that they're saying that if you were a fan of the original Bionic Man, you must be old enough for a hearing aid.
Then after I thought about it, it didn't bother me so much. After all, I'd always wanted super hearing. Oh, I don't want it so much to hear what my family or friends or saying TO me. I want to be able to hear what they're saying ABOUT me! I want to be outside the house when they're talking about me, and to be able to spy on their conversations.
Ok, so maybe The Bionic Hearing Aid isn't quite that powerful. However, I will acknowledge, after talking to a couple of people who have it, that it seems to be on the cutting edge of hearing-aid technology. It uses digital high-tech for superior sound quality. And to me, the coolest thing is that it's rechargeable. No more fidgeting with those tiny batteries! So with the Bionic Hearing Air around, maybe when I do need to get one, it won't be so bad. And who knows: Maybe by that time, there'll also be a bionic arm on the market for me to buy. Although I'm not a fan of giving up the real one to replace it with.
I was watching the commercial a few days ago for Dream Lash, and my curiosity was aroused as to why women started curling their eyelashes. What I found surprised me.
In case you're not familiar with it, Dream Lash is a night time treatment for a lady's eyelashes. It conditions the lashes, giving them a fuller, longer look. It makes it easier to curl the lashes, but not only that, once they are curled, it gives a more astounding appearance to the woman. It also defines and thickens her eyebrows.
So out of curiosity, I did a Google search on why women curl their lashes. The answer is that it makes the eyes appear to be bigger, and the woman to be more wide awake. And according to studies, men prefer this big-eyed, wide-awake look on the woman. In fact, one site insisted that on a subconscious level, the big-eyed look on a woman is associated with fertility. Honest, I'm not making this up. So I guess the idea is that we guys love a fertile-looking woman.
I don't know about all of that. I do know that if you show me the same woman with her eyelashes enhanced and then without that enhancement, I prefer the enhanced eyelashes. For that reason, even as a man who admittedly is no expert in the field, Dream Lash gets my full approval. Having seen the results on several women, the difference is amazing. And I can honestly say that fertility is the last thing on my mind. I just admire a woman who takes care of her looks--and Dream Lash helps her do just that.
