Fitness Guru and Bodybuilding Expert Joe Weider Dies at 93

The fitness and bodybuilding communities lost an icon last weekend with the death of Joe Weider. A bodybuilding expert, fitness magazine publisher, and mentor to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Weider died of heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 93 years old. His age at death is a testament to his understanding of fitness and health. Like Jack Lalanne, who died in 2011 at the age of 96, Weider attributed his longevity to exercise and healthy living, and both men developed lucrative...

Now that spring is turning to summer across the nation, your landscaping has probably moved beyond planting and cultivating to maintaining and manicuring.  Mowing the lawn and trimming your hedges are necessary to keep your lawn, flowerbeds, and shrubs looking great throughout the season.  As always, As Seen On TV lawn and garden products can make your yard work quicker, easier, neater, and even greener.

For mowing your lawn, try the Greenworks mower.  This 3-in-1 electric mower lets you beautify your yard in an earth-friendly way by reducing your carbon footprint.  Just because the Greenworks electric mower is eco-conscious, though, does not mean it lacks power.  With a 19-inch cutting path, 40V rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and an Energy Star rated battery charger, the Greenworks mower is a great choice for those who do not want to sacrifice the environment or the power in their power tools.

Speaking of power, the Garden Groom hedge trimmer has the power to clip, shred, and collect trimmings in one compact portable trimmer.  The Garden Groom is ultra-lightweight, easy-to-handle, and features a “goof-proof” design so that anyone can get professional results.  Not only does Garden Groom clip and shred, but its vacuum vortex pulls the trimmings into the collection bin for mess-free use.  Simply empty the trimmings onto your mulch or compost pile, or dump them straight into the trash.  The Garden Groom hedge trimmer has a powerful 300-watt motor to trim easily, but also features a covered trimming blade for unmatched safety.

Whether planting or caring for your lawn or garden, infomercial products offer innovations that make any task easier.  From beautiful, hardy grasses, plants, and flowers to tools and products to make every job simpler and more convenient, the As Seen On TV garden department at Seen On TV Express has everything to make your lawn and garden stunning.  Order today to take advantage of special offers, buy one get one free pricing, and satisfaction guarantees on many of the garden products offered in our online  As Seen On TV store.

 

As Seen On TV Style: Take That, Catwalk

Today’s fashions change so quickly, it is almost impossible to keep up.  Some styles seem to last only about as long as a Kardashian marriage.  Trying to keep up with the trends can be extremely expensive.  Luckily, As Seen On TV clothing and accessories take the hottest styles and make them affordable and offer easy solutions for updating your wardrobe without having to replace it.

One of my favorite new infomercial products for fashion is Covfurs.  Covfurs are faux fur slipcovers for boots.  These faux fur boot wraps can instantly update your existing boots at just a fraction of the cost of a new pair of boots.  Let’s say you have a pair of last year’s plain black leather boots, but you really want to sport that trendy fur boot look.  One leading online shoe retailer lists a pair of name brand “Mongolian Hair Boots” for $175.   You could pay that for a single pair of boots, or you could buy a pair of Covfurs boot covers for less than $40.  Wear them with high-heeled boots or flat boots; wear them tall or slouched.  That’s four looks about the quarter of the price of one pair of boots.  At such a great value, you could even buy all three colors of Covfurs:  Elegant Black, Brown Chinchilla, and Wild Leopard.  For less than the cost of one pair of fur boots, you could get up to twelve great looks from Covfurs.

Speaking of getting multiple looks from one great piece, Shamina bills itself as the “Shawl that Does it All.”  This unique shawl features snaps to help it stay put, unlike traditional shawls and wraps that slip off your shoulders.  Because of Shamina’s innovative design, this one beautiful accessory can be worn several different ways:

  • Shawl
  • Pashmina
  • Wrap
  • Scarf
  • Sarong

Update a simple black dress, or create a sophisticated look from a casual outfit.  Because it is lightweight and wrinkle-free, you can easily take Shamina with you wherever you go–it even fits in your purse.

Shamina and Covfurs let you update your style with an easy accessory, but other As Seen On TV accessories can help you change your look discreetly.  I don’t know about you, but I get easily frustrated when I have to buy forty gazillion pairs of pants to wear with my forty gazillion pairs of shoes.  I don’t want to have to wear stilettos just because a particular pair of pants is long, and I don’t want to have to wear flats just because another pair of pants is shorter.  I love the inventor of Style Snaps, who solved this problem once and for all.  Style Snaps allow you to instantly hem your pants without ironing, without gluing, and without sewing.  These removable adhesive snaps let you quickly and easily shorten any hem–then let it out again when you need the length.  Great for pants and skirts, Style Snaps keep your hemlines appropriate for the occasion and for the shoes with no commitment.

No commitment?  Sounds perfect for Kim Kardashian.

As Seen On TV Lawn Care: QuickLawn Grass Seed

Some time ago, we at Seen On TV Express wrote about getting an early start on your lawn and landscaping by taking advantage of several As Seen On TV offers.  If you didn’t listen to us then, we have a feeling that looking at your neighbors lush green grass and vibrant flower beds is making you feel just a teeny bit inferior.  We are not going to say, “We told you so”–we are much bigger and more magnanimous than that (as you can tell by our use of the “Royal We” and really big words like “magnanimous”).  Instead, we are going to give you another chance to get your lawn in gorgeous shape that will leave your neighbors (ahem) green with envy.

QuickLawn by Gardener’s Choice is a top selling As Seen On TV grass seed for quickly growing a beautiful, resilient lawn.  Developed by scientists, Quick Lawn is designed to be a four-season, evergreen grass that starts growing in as little as one week.  This university-developed turf grass is engineered to sprout quickly, filling in bare spots and keeping your lawn green throughout the year. To use QuickLawn grass seed, simply seed your yard and water.

Benefits of QuickLawn include:

  • Grows in even clay soil or sandy soil
  • Withstands both sun and shade
  • Resilient in heavy traffic areas
  • Resistant to disease and insects
  • Multiplies rapidly
  • Fills in bare spots and chokes out weeds
  • 2 pounds of seed covers approximately 1,000 square feet
  • Velvety, evergreen lawn all year long–even in snow!

In our part of the country, we are having one of the greenest Springs in recent memory.  Often, we are plagued with drought from late spring through fall.  With red clay soil, our lawns are often brown and crunchy.  This year, the rain and mild temperatures have created a lush and lovely Spring.  In our own yard, that translated to Really Big Weeds, which, once destroyed, left Really Big Brown Spots.  Quick Lawn may just be our answer to filling in the gaps and creating a beautiful, soft lawn that can withstand the poor soil and scorching heat of our summers.

As Seen On TV Cookware Remedies Sticky Situations

I like to cook.  In fact, I like to cook so much that I’ve got a bun in my oven right now.  Unfortunately, this little nine-month baking project is making it difficult for me to do much cooking these days.  While eating isn’t much of a problem since I seem to pretty much be starving at all times, the act of actually going into my kitchen is often enough to send me running to the bathroom.  No, eating is not a problem, but the prep work itself is.  In fact, just the other morning I was feeling pretty smug about how decent I felt.  I went in to the kitchen to scramble up some eggs for the family’s breakfast.  As luck (or Murphy’s Law) would have it, my favorite omelet skillet was in the kitchen sink and needed to be washed before using.  I picked up the skillet, but lo and behold, there was DRIED FOOD STUCK TO IT.  This was enough to send me fleeing and to quickly abolish any plans I had of making breakfast for anyone.

What does this have to do with As Seen On TV and infomercial products?  Well, a lot, actually.  You see, my favorite nonstick skillet is several years old.  What once let omelets slide right on out and onto the plate is now chipped, flaked, and scratched, leaving food stuck to the pan and leaving me clinging to the sides of the toilet waiting for this first trimester to be OVER ALREADY.

I can use my pregnancy as an excuse for a lot of things:  I get to take more naps, I eat popsicles like there’s no tomorrow, I get people to lift heavy things for me, and now, I may just use it as an excuse to buy a shiny new As Seen On TV nonstick pan.

The new generation of nonstick pans shown on infomercials these days has a lot to offer over its Teflon predecessors.  And a lack of Teflon is at the top of the list.

Three of the top As Seen On TV contenders feature nonstick ceramic as a healthier alternative to nonstick coatings that scratch, chip, and flake off into your food.  The Orgreenic Cookware natural ceramic nonstick frying pan and the NuWave PerfectGreen nonstick fry pan both use a ceramic nonstick surface that prevents the release of toxins into your food while you cook.  The Yoshiblue Diamondware Skillet uses nano-ceramic infused with diamond particles to create a nontoxic, nonstick, and durable cooking surface.

The benefits of these new As Seen On TV ceramic nonstick pans are many:

  • Healthier cooking by eliminating the need for added grease, oils, butter, and unhealthy fats
  • Durable nonstick ceramic pans that do not flake, chip, peel, or scratch, protecting the surface of your pan and protecting you from chemicals in your food
  • Do not release harmful toxins into your food
  • Orgreenic cookware does not contain PFOA
  • NuWave Perfect Green fry pan is BPA-free, PFOA-free, PTFE-free, and Cadmium-free
  • Yoshiblue Diamondware skillet can easily be wiped clean

Pregnant or not, safe cooking is important to me and my family–and mess free clean-up ain’t too shabby either.

Now, who wants to bring me a popsicle?
