Not Naive ... Optimistic

Have you ever gotten sucked in to buying one of those As-Seen-On-TV products? Maybe you resisted the late night ad but then you saw it at Walgreens for only $9.99 you caved.

Guilty.

I've bought the Snackeeze, the water pillow, massage socks, and the sneaker souper-upper, which promised to make your old sneakers look new ... it didn't.

Apparently, I haven't learned my lesson. This weekend at the Home and Patio Show I bought an at-home teeth whitener for handsome husband. (Clearly I married the right person, he was totally on board and you can see he's using it!)

I like to think of my tendency to believe these sales pitches as optimism, not naiveté. Glass-half full folks you know what I mean. But maybe I have learned a thing or two. At least I didn't buy this new exercise machine that's a cross between a carnival ride and a human blender.

What did you buy? Did it work?
