I guess it was only a matter of time before someone thought of talking shoes: footwear that tells to get up and get moving.  I guess America's lack of will power to move has come down to a shoe.

Ridiculous Vanity Products. Over the weekend, I found myself doing some product surfing on Amazon.com and came across a couple of vanity products that had me scratching my head in disbelief that these products actually exist: 1.  The Neck Genie Neck Line Slimmer (pictured above)...

Coupons are everywhere you turn.  As it turns out, $318 billion dollars' worth of coupons are given away at no charge in the U.S. each year.  That's a whole lot of coupons!  The question is, to clip coupons or not to clip coupons?

In my house, I always have to be on my toes because I never know where I'm going to find my kids' toys.  Sometimes they pick the strangest places to set up their toys.

We always hear about dieting and working out to lose weight.  What if losing weight is as simple as slowing down the pace of your eating? There's one way to find out because now there's actually a product that measures how fast you eat.

Have you noticed that fake mustaches are everywhere?  I went shopping with my daughter this past weekend and pondered all the fake mustache novelty items that I saw.  For the record, I thought the items were stupid and didn't want any of them. Where did this bizarre trend come from?

Did you receive an ugly sweater for the Holidays this year?  I bet it doesn't do what this one does.  "Look Ma, it doubles as a Christmas tree!"

If you're a lucky parent like me, then your kids aren't asking for the hard-to-find hottest toys of the season.  If you're not one of the lucky ones then hopefully you've already found those highly sought after toys you need.

If you like the hustle and bustle of the holiday shopping season, then you're probably not interested like I am in which days are the best days to avoid the crowds.  I'm all about getting my shopping done, while enjoying the freedom of moving through store isles easily and not fighting to see products.
