Don’t knock it until you try it

in Uncategorized on

I know I’m not the most fashionable person.  I’ll be the first to admit it.  So that’s why, after I said I didn’t “get” the Target Missoni clothing, I went ahead and tried it out for myself…well, sort of.

My point is that I try to follow the don’t knock it until you try it rule.  Sometimes perhaps, I’m too quick to judge.

For example, in my 10 Horrible Gifts for the Holidays post, I list several products, like Bacon scented cologne and and Ostrich Pillow for napping at work.  I sit here, in the comfort of my home, assuming that a man smelling of bacon grease is a bad thing, or that a person who places their head and hands inside a pillow and naps at work is ridiculous.  But have I tried these things myself?

No.

I actually received several emails a couple months ago when I posted on Facebook about an apparently hot ticket and beloved (to some) item, The Forever Lazy.  Presumably, those people must work for Forever Lazy, but regardless they had a good point.

Dear Susan,

I know you were probably joking this morning when you put up that picture to the Forever Lazy.  I just wanted you to know that it’s actually a great product.  I keep my thermostat lower and still stay warm.  Plus, since it’s not like a blanket or a robe, it’s so easy to move around.  I’ve even worn mine to a college football game.

Just thought you should know.

Sincerely,

Mary T.

Clearly Mary T either works for Forever Lazy or maybe she’s married to the CEO.

But it did get me thinking though…

So I ordered my own Forever Lazy, wore it around, and had some pretty surprising results (and this is not a Sponsored post):

Baking was a breeze in my Forever Lazy!

Outdoor Christmas decorating could be a real pain in cold weather, but it’s no problem with the Forever Lazy!

You know me and my I.B.S., but it’s not a worry with an easy rear access!

Even if the weather’s cold, I can’t be too lazy! The dog still needs walked, and now I can stay warm too!

And of course, the Forever Lazy is perfect for just laying around!

And the results?  Okay, so they weren’t so surprising, it is as ridiculous as it looks on TV.  I was warm though, and I’m kicking myself for not ordering pink.

What are your favorite As Seen on TV products?  Are you a Forever Lazy fan?  Leave me a comment!

  1. I really wish you would have ordered it in pink… and added bunny ears to complete the “pink nightmare” effect from the Christmas Story. 🙂

  4. I am SICK for as seen on tv products. I LOVE them. Im on my second Magic Bullet cause I made too many “smoothies” with the first one, I LOve love love love my Xpress Redi Set Go since Im just cooking for myself while hubs is deployed and it does chicken perfectly, and I rock my snuggie on the regular. Im really hoping there is a forever lazy under the tree for me….. 🙂

  5. I bought a pair of those pajama jeans. They are comfy, but I still don’t see myself wearing them out of the house at all.

  6. Sliding Robots. Those things you put under the legs/feet of furniture to move it. I always thought they were ‘hokey’. This summer I told my mother that I was going to try & move the living room furniture around so I could clean the carpet. She said she had some Sliding Robots & she’d be dropping them off. *sigh* Like I’m really going to use ‘old lady’ stuff. The first thing I used them on was my husband’s very heavy ‘fat boy’ recliner – it moved like a dream. I literally stopped what I was doing to run to town & get my own set to put under the rest of the furniture. I could move my couch that has recliners on both ends with very little effort. The best ‘old lady’ thing I’ve ever bought!

  7. That forever lazy looks like the most comfortable thing. I can totally see myself lounging around in it. I thiink the danger is getting addicted to wearing it all the time!

  8. Haha, yes it does sort of look ridiculous, but also sort of comfortable, and warm, and cozy. Oh what the hell, I would like one for Christmas please, do you need my address?

  10. I have never heard of the forever lazy but I’m tempted to order it now! Not because it looks so stunning (no offense) but I could use a lower heat bill!

  11. i am a sucker for an as seen on tv product, although these days I am wise to their real life dissapoinment.

    I recall a few years ago staying up night after night with a newborn, breastfeeding, burping, settling etc and having the tv on to pass the time. I saw way too much inaugeration footage (for an Australian) and way too much infomercial tv, including for Zumba DVDs. I thought to myself – that will NEVER catch on, dancing around thinking you are a hot latino dancer, pfffft.

    Could not have been more wrong. still cursing i didnt pick up those dvds at their special introductory price!!

  13. The easy rear access sold it. I hate having to pull my pants down to poop, it’s so inconvenient!

  15. I’ve had something similar to the Forever Lazy for about 11 years. It is called a Slumber Sack. Mine doesn’t have a hood and it is more of a sack then pants, and of course no rear panel. But I totally love it… even though my hubby’s best friend (his roommate before we were married) used to tell me I looked like a Teletubby. And the lavender that I have goes so well with my orange Garfield slippers. 🙂

    I’m a total sucker for as seen on TV items. Any of them. My mom and I have to have babysitters. My mom owns about 6 vacuum cleaners, all from infomercials. I have 2. The worst was when I was in college, had my first credit card, and would be drunk when watching late night TV. I ordered pretty much anything that looked cool… alcohol and infomercials are not a good mix. I think my favorite is the Ultimate Chopper… we are ready to order another one because we use ours so often.

  16. My favorite “as seen on tv” is the Rotato by Starfrit. Problem is, if you get the electric version, it needs to be the white one, not the black one. When they changed colours, they changed the quality of the parts or something. We found this out after our old one died after about 5 years of service to our home (2 people, but I am Irish-blooded, and it’s a godsend for potato dishes)…. after mourning it after a week and having to go back to paring potatoes, we bought a new one (in black), which burnt the motor on the FIRST potato. The second we got upon return did the same thing. The third one made it through 3 potatoes. Needless to say, we now have the manual version, and use the blades from the third electric version as replacements when they get dull. LOL!

  18. OK, maybe its the angle of the camera but is your stocking the biggest one hung on the chimney??

    and if I order now will I not only get just get one Forever Lazy but TWO??? for $19.99 of course?

  19. That is HYSTERICAL. The Forever Lazy commercials seriously make my day, especially during the part when they’re all crowded in the parking lot tailgating a game. It is so ridiculous, I think I will have to get one in red!
