It’s been far, far, far too long since an update or report… I realize this and apologize. Life, work and other obligations happen and have been interfering with my testing schedule.

To get things back up to speed: The EuroSealer Report is about halfway finished. Not quite “there” yet, and I don’t think it will be “there” until sometime tomorrow (Friday) afternoon.

Zorbeez have arrived!!! It took almost 9 weeks to get here. I received email confirmation that they had shipped on August 1, 2007, and they arrived September 27, 2007. This will be touched on more in the Zorbeez report, so I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself.

Sometime this weekend (most likely Sunday) I will come up with, yet another, revised schedule to include the Zorbeez. I have to get better about meeting my own deadlines, but it’s tough testing these products as much as I want to test them, while still juggling the responsibilities of my real life.

Currently, I have no new products purchased. This may change later this month as more funds free up for info-product purchases. I know I eventually want to test the Samurai Shark and I saw ‘mercials for a few other products that caught my eye. We’ll see what my As Seen On TV store has in stock during my next visit.

Price: $9.99 shipping for the trial (with further payment due if satisfied)

Purchased From: An Internet Site

Product Description:  “Revolutionary, breakthrough formulas harness the clinically proven plumping powers of patented micro-injected™ technology. The beauty-boosting benefits of dehydrated collagen and hyaluronic acid microspheres use your body’s natural water to deliver a fullout sexy, perfectly plump pout, instantly and painlessly, for up to 48 hours.”

Initial Impressions:

•  Whoa, lady - you ever heard of blotting?
• Hey!! She’s just pursing her lips to make them look thinner!!
• If it works, this product is super cool.
• I’m so getting some… right now now now!!

I know I haven’t posted on schedule the past two weeks, but if you read Froggie’s Lilypad, you know that the past few months have been kind of stressful for me. To make up for this fact, I’ve added a special report for this week for a product that was previously not on the schedule.

Speaking of the schedule, because I got this new product and testing on that product kind of held up testing on a couple others (I was so excited when I got it that I couldn’t help but start testing right away), I’ve changed up the order of the remaining products on the list. Most of the list remains intact, however, I’m going to be building in a few gaps because I’m still waiting for the Zorbeez* to come and I’ve been told that I should be expecting Green Bags to show up sometime soon.

That said, here’s the new schedule for now:

• 13 Sep - The LipFusion Report
• 17 Sep - The EuroSealer Report
• 1 Oct - The Flat-Fold Collander Report
• 8 Oct - The White Light Tooth Whitening System Report
• 15 Oct - The Glass Wizard Report
• 22 Oct - The Patch Perfect Report
• 29 Oct - The Bonzai Chopper Report
• 5 Nov - The Zorbeez Report*
• 12 Nov - The Stick Up Bulb Report
• 19 Nov - The Quik Brite LEDs Report
• 26 Nov - The Pet Groom Pro Report
• 3 Dec - The Green Bags Report
• 10 Dec - Special Report: The Furminator Vs. The Shed-Ender Deathmatch!!!

* I’m still waiting on the Zorbeez to show up. I bought them at the end of July and received a confirmation email that they had been shipped on August 1st. I know I didn’t spring for priority shipping, but we’re officially past the point of 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Price: $14.99 + tax

Purchased From: The As Seen On TV Store at Ward Center, Honolulu

Product Description: These two little Dryer Balls will take the place other fabric softeners without the use of chemicals. Safe for all fabrics, cuts drying time by up to 25%, and eliminates the need for fabric softener!

Initial Impressions:

• I HAVE to get them just based on the name alone… it’s so awful!
• If these things work and I really don’t have to ever get dryer sheets again, that would be sooo awesome.
• HAHAHA…. Balls.

Price: $15.49 - no tax or shipping charges incurred.

Purchased at: The Navy Exchange, Hawaii

Product Description: Waterproof and airtight nylon storage bags that vacuum out air to help save space and protect your belongings from bugs, mildew, mold and dust.

Initial Impressions:

• It has a Good Housekeeping Seal… maybe it really is good.
• I could definitely use that to keep all of my… uhmmm “thin” clothes for when I finally drop those extra pounds, like I’ve been meaning to lose…. or something…
• That travel one would be cool for those trips to the mainland where I have lots of souvenir crap to transport.

Special Note: The picture of the package here is not the set I purchased and does not include the same things that were included in my set (though this was the closest one I found). As such, I will revisit Space Bags at another time to test out several of the new products that are currently being offered.

It’s been some time - a little too much for my liking - since I’ve retooled the schedule. It was also a little longer between reports than I like. Sorry about that. These past few weeks have been crazy-go-nuts and I’ve been battling bronchitis for the past two weeks (it’s fun… no, really).

That said, I’ve gotten quite a few more products in the past few weeks (including the generous donation of two products from La Vida Dulce… aka, my mom) and I’ve worked out a new report and testing schedule. I still haven’t gotten my shipment of Zorbeez, but once I get those, I’ll have to shift a few dates down to include them sometime sooner than November. One thing I’d like to point out is that the prior order of product reports has changed due to a few things I have up my sleeve… we’ll see how that goes. At any rate, here’s the schedule as it stands now:

• 27 Aug - The Space Bags Report
• 3 Sep - The Dryer Balls Report
• 10 Sep - The Flat Fold Colander Report
• 17 Sep - The EuroSealer Report
• 24 Sep - The White Light Tooth Whitening System Report
• 1 Oct - The Patch Perfect Report
• 8 Oct - The Glass Wizard Report
• 15 Oct - The Bonzai Chopper Report
• 22 Oct - The Hercules Hooks Report
• 29 Oct - The Stick Up Bulb Report
• 5 Nov - The Quik Brite LEDs Report
• 12 Nov - The Pet Groom Pro Report
• 19 Nov - Special Report: The Furminator Vs. The Shed-Ender Deathmatch!!!

Upcoming purchases include Urine Gone, the Samurai Shark, the Pasta Pro, the Batter Pro, Moving Men, and whatever else catches my fancy next time I’m at the As Seen On TV store.

Price: $19.95 + $5.95 s+h (came with 2 large and 2 small lids)

Purchased at: An Internet Site

Date: Aug 15, 2005

Product Description: Flexible silicone lids that form a water-tight and air-tight seal on bowls, plates and serving dishes of almost any size or shape.

Initial Impressions:

• They look kind of cheap for that price.
• They probably work ok, though… it is silicone, after all.
• Wow, even with my order “doubled,” I still think that’s pretty expensive.

Though I realize that there’s not exactly a desperate need for this, I have updated my “About” page to include my Facebook and Myspace profiles.

I generally accept anyone who asks to be added, so if you’re looking to up your friends count, you can send one over my way.

Price: $19.95 + tax

Purchased at: The As Seen On TV Store

Date: 18 May 2007

Product Description: Cook pastas, vegetables, shellfish, hotdogs and more! Say goodbye to dangerous boil-overs and sticky messes! Prepare quick, easy and healthy meals or snacks effortlessly!

Initial Impressions:

There was but one impression - “this thing will never work.”

The new report and updated schedule are imminent. Again, sorry for the delay. I got home early last week and have been recovering, unpacking and getting back to normal for the past few days. I’ll have the new report schedule up by tomorrow and The Pasta Pronta Deluxe report will be up on Monday.

In other news, LatteMan over at Triple Venti has accused me of being a Rockin’ Girl Blogger. I’ll try to live up to the title, but I’ve not really felt very rockin’ for the past week or so. Jet lag can really take a toll on you!
