Slap your troubles away

I was watching a documentary on CBCNewsworld last night - well the commercials were nearly all little infomercials - seemed a bit odd for the CBC but it was getting a bit late...

I saw a commercial for a product I'd never seen before - the Slap Chop - featuring the ShamWow guy. It was pretty funny. The demos reminded me of the Magic Bullet commercial (but without hungover Bernie) and lines like "stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life" and "you're gonna love my nuts" just add to the sheer hilarity of it all. But the kicker - this infomercial was filmed before poor Vince's legal troubles, but this Canadian version made a little edit and reminds us to "slap your troubles away, like Vince."

A Fabulous Idea...

So there's a restaurant downtown that has come up with the perfect promotion for Wednesday nights. Manicures & Martinis. For the low price of $15 you can get a quick little manicure and any martini off their fairly extensive list.

The manicure was pretty good since they don't have a salon set-up. They shape the nail, give you the hand massage with some of the best lotion I have ever smelled, and paint them. And really, I just love the idea of getting a manicure and having a martini. There's just something about it. and let's just say I have become a big fan of the pomitini...
