Image by davidking by FlickrThe back to school blues have got me in a funk.
Do the kids really need half of this junk?
New sneakers, new pens, pencil sharpeners, and more,
Got it all but the sharpener, though I've been to every store.

I'm cheap and get a high from finding new ways to re-use and
re-purpose items from around the house. I was elated when I
discovered that I don't need to spend a fortune on off-camera
flashes.

When I'm looking to buy kids' toys, I am looking for three things:
One: I want it to be cheap, because in these hard times, affordability is key.
Two: I want it to be safe, because choking hazards and badly made toys just aren't good for your kids to play with.
And three: I want it to creep me the heck out.
What, you don't want your kids' toys to freak you out? You're obviously in the minority there, because these
Cartoon Shaped USB Rechargeable Mini Portable Speakers are the creepiest things in the world, but I bet your kids would love them.

Maybe you don't normally find my wacky product of the week very a-
peel-ing, but you won't be able to resist this week's. It's so ridiculous. So strange. So unbelievably useless! I'm not even monkeying around with this one.
Okay, enough banana jokes...This week's insanely ridiculous product is the
Banana Cellphone Handset from
PerpetualKid.com. At only $15, I'm still not sure it's even worth buying--even if would be unbelievably amusing to whip this out during a business meeting or in a crowded elevator.

When I decide to de-clutter, t-shirts are always one of the items
that I donate the most. My husband's white undershirts, no
matter how I wash them, seem to get dingy in six months.
Instead of donating them all to our local Goodwill, I decided that
I would try to re-purpose them and make them into items I could use
around my house.

A recent Chinese study showed that women who ate lots of fiber were
11% less likely to get breast cancer than those who ate less. Research didn't prove that the fiber intake lowered their chances of cancer, but that those who ate more fiber were generally healthier overall with lower cholesterol and less weight gain. So, I guess an apple a day does really keep the doctor and his high fees away. Most people think of fiber as tasteless, chewy and something you
have to eat. Not so, fiber is actually found naturally in lots of delicious fruits, vegetables, grains and other natural sources.
What are some easy and economical ways to boost your fiber intake without resorting to Metamucil or other higher priced and unnatural items?

Because a childhood classic where you pretend to operate on humans is soooo 2010, this week's wacky product is
Star Wars Operation, the R2-D2 edition, where you can try your hand at droid surgery. You actually can't even purchase this item yet--or, you can, but it's available for pre-order only until September-but it's just too much fun to pass up.

Some people unwind in the weirdest ways. I recently came across an article about a woman's experience with a
milkweed facial. Milkweed is what caterpillars rest on before they turn into butterflies, and is supposed to have the same transformational effect on your skin. Apparently, it smells awful, however it's not uncommon for someone to endure such things for beauty.
There are lots of bizarre beauty treatments out there that people pay big bucks for. Read on about some of the other unusual ways people pamper themselves:

Just recently
Virgin America, opened up services to Chicago and since the price was right and I needed to book tickets for my cousin's wedding, I chose to fly with them.
I'd flown with them before when my older child was almost two years-old and had a great experience. At the time, my daughter was a little sick and instead of having her sit on my lap, they gave me the entire row.
I have to say that this time around, I was a little disappointed with the inconsistency of customer service.
