Turbo Oven: Fact or Fiction

The Flavor Wave Turbo Oven was recently introduced on the cooking scene through TV infomercials that touted the product as a quick and easy solution to preparing healthy meals for your family in just a fraction of the normal cooking time. So when I heard about this revolutionary tool, I jumped on the bandwagon to see what all the type was about. Here's what I found out…

The Flavor Wave Turbo works great. The first meal I made with the product consisted of a family favorite – meat and potatoes. I took sausage directly out of the freezer and added it to the turbo oven. It cooked quickly and effortlessly, but I was still a little skeptical of how it was going to taste. So, I took it to the kids, who are the toughest critics around. They raved about how juicy and moist the meal was and asked why I didn't make it more often.

After dinner, cleaning the turbo oven was just as easy. It has a self-cleaning mode, which works great. I have to tell you, I was really impressed. Anything that makes my job as a mom easier is a plus in my book. I'm a Flavor Wave Turbo Oven convert!

Buckwheat pillows are filled with all natural dried buckwheat, which is hypoallergenic.

Why Shop Online?


If you’re an avid shopper, then you’ve probably heard all the hype about shopping online. In the past, shopping online used to be an outlet of need for those that lived in rural areas with no malls, but now, online shopping is the fastest growing type of retail. It’s a factor of convenience really. If you think about all the time and effort that goes into piling in the car, driving to the mall, browsing store to store for the item you are seeking, then waiting in long lines to complete your purchase, then online shopping certainly sounds appealing.

Online shopping offers an array of information at your fingertips, so the options are endless, you could pick up all kinds of products from as seen on TV products to products often sold at shopping malls. You can shop anytime day or night, and choose just the item you need. There’s no dealing with pushy salespeople who are paid on commission. There’s no making impulse purchases right when you get to the register. With online shopping, it’s quick and easy to find what you need and get on with your day. And if you get interrupted, just save your purchase in your cart and come back later when you have the time to complete your transaction. Shop on your terms; not the store’s or salesperson’s.

When you shop online, you can make purchases for everyone on your shopping list. Whether it’s a small treat for you, a home improvement item or a gift for a friend or family member, online shopping offers it all with an easy point and click. All you have to do is sit back and wait for your purchase to come to you. What could be easier than that? Online shopping is your one-stop shopping solution.

Trend Watch: Girly Necklaces

This season, the fashion and jewelry is all out girly feminine looks that are flat out pretty as punch. We especially can’t get enough of those yummy necklaces that make it fun to dress up for a girls’ night out. Here, we take a look at some of the hottest styles of girly necklaces.

It’s true that pearls have long been a fashion staple, but this year, pearl necklaces have taken off in a big way. Sure, Michelle Obama has had something to do with this fashion resurgence, but pearl necklaces are all the rage lately. The trend for pearl necklaces is whimsical, fun and free-spirited, with designs ranging from gumball size stones to necklaces that are embellished with pearls, rhinestones and charms. With one of these lookers, you can keep the rest of your look simple and let your necklace shine.


Bow necklaces are also extremely in demand right now. Bow necklaces are reminiscent of childhood and are dainty and innocent in nature. Look for bow necklaces in the form of pendants for everyday wear, or statement choker necklaces adorned with fabric or crystals for a fun night-on-the-town look. Again, with necklaces that are busy, keep the rest of your outfit toned down and let the necklace take center stage.

Necklaces with pink stones are another hot ticket item. Celebs like Mariah Carey love pink diamonds, but if you can’t afford a multi-million dollar pendant, you can still imitate the look with a heart shaped Cubic Zirconia necklace.

Girly necklaces are fun to wear and offer a certain childhood fondness. These necklaces pair well with contrasting pieces like a black dress or a white tank top. It’s best to wear smaller necklaces to the office, and save the eclectic designs for after hours, weekends or vacation. It’s then that these necklaces will really help you shine.

These pieces are fine to wear to the beach, versatile enough to wear out and the perfect accessory for get-a-ways to far off places. In fact, when you travel, you can find some great shell necklaces that are inexpensive and unique.

So it’s perfectly okay to wear a necklace that is earthly and a little unfinished; it’s part of the charm of this trend.

If you are looking for a way to dress up a LBD (little black dress), bright necklaces in turquoise and coral can be just the ticket. They add just the right pop of color that will grab attention and have all eyes on you. Or, add a long pendant necklace with a beach inspired charm, such as a starfish or shell. This signature piece looks fantastic when set in gold, and can just as easily be worn with a peasant blouse, a sundress or jeans and a tank top.

So the next time you find yourself daydreaming about far off destinations like tropical beaches and secluded islands, consider bringing some of that vibe home with you.

What You Need to Know When You Shop Online

Ever heard the phrase “buyer beware”? Well, you might be surprised to find out that shopping online is safer and more convenient that ever. Vendors are taking precautions to protect you, the buyer, and to ensure that you have an enjoyable and worry-free shopping experience. Here are some helpful tips to make sure you’re protected when you shop online:

1) Look for a secure logo or icon (i.e. Buyer Protection, Security Metrics, etc.). These symbols mean that the information you send during your purchase transaction (i.e. credit card information, name and address) are encrypted. You can usually find these logos at the bottom of the store home page or in the shopping cart during your checkout process.

2) Look for a plainly visible contact number. You always want to have the peace of mind that the
e-tailor you’re visiting is easy to contact, should the need arise. Clearly stated contact numbers should be offered, and established vendors will usually provide a toll free number for your convenience. Also, look for a mailing address for added reassurance.

3) Look for clearly stated shipping and handling. Make sure you know exactly what you are paying for shipping and handling charges. These costs should be displayed with the product or in the shopping cart during your check out process. This provides you with a complete cost, and helps to avoid sticker shock down the line. Some e-tailers(like most as seen on TV stores) even provide shipment tracking once your order has been mailed.

4) Look for clearly stated purchase policies. When you shop online, it’s important to know the rules for returns and exchanges. Make sure you’re informed and that the store has a section like FAQs or links to their purchase policy. This provides a certain reassurance, and from an e-tailor point of view, will increase the possibility that you become a repeat customer.

You’re probably noticed a flood of new infomercial products hitting the market this year.

Infomercial products are great for mind, body and home. They make great gifts and offer great advantages in technology and innovation.

This year, we’ve seen more than a few revolutionary products take off.

Part blanket, part cover up, this cozy blanket took the nation by storm. It’s just another infomercial product that is completely affordable and considered to be a small treat.

That’s one of the big draws of infomercial products – they are fun, functional and cost efficient. Therefore, it’s reasonable to try one or two products during these tough times. After all, infomercial products can be ordered from the comfort of your own home and they are great when you need to get away from the realities of everyday life. Some of the newest infomercial products focus on creating in-home spa experiences that provide salon quality results for just a fraction of the cost of pricier treatments. So the next time you need to get away, try infomercial products that make life a little more enjoyable and a little less stressful.
