I’m a pretty stinky dude, I’ll admit it. But I hate the smell of those nasty sprays and plug-in deodorizers, it just smells like stink and fake flowers — not much better than just stink. But my girlfriend brought home some What Odor because they plant a tree for every purchase. Great, a $20 tree, I thought, but this stuff really works.

I’ve always had a bottle of Febreeze sitting around the house for really nasty stinks, but I cannot stand the smell. And it doesn’t do a thing for getting rid of the smell after cooking fish. Not to mention every time I used it my girlfriend tells me how terrible it is for the environment. But of course she’d rather kill the environment a little bit than smell my funk.

When she saw What Odor on Billy May’s show Pitchmen, she checked it out and found that it was made by For The Earth. It’s a really cool company that only sells biodegradable products and never tests on animals. Them planting a tree for each purchase of What Odor was enough for my girlfriend, but I wanted to see if it stood up to the stink power of an unemployed, un-showered, generally gross Sean.

My test involved me doing exactly what I normally do. Grilling brats, with sauerkraut of course, bean chili cheese dip in the microwave and all the stuff that’s associated with eating all that crap in the bathroom.

The big test involved me spraying What Odor before she got home, and if she noticed my stench, the stuff doesn’t work.

She walks in the door and nothing, no stink face and no nose scrunching. She even asked if I cleaned (the answer is hell no).

So the stuff works, and it doesn’t have an annoying fragrance that goes along with it — and you get a free tree planted someplace; which is just “wow.” Also, Billy Mays says you can get rid of skunk odor with it — but I really hope i never have to test that.

Buy It Or Not

Totally buy What Odor, we tossed our Febreeze for good (in the recycling bin of course). It works great and it’s fragrance free so your house doesn’t smell like flowers.

I just got me and my girlfriend a pair of Wearable Towels, and they are totally sweet — and super cheap. I couldn’t for the life of my find and Wearable Towel reviews online, but I ordered them anyway.

I always bring my towel to the beach, but when I get out of the water and need to dry off, my towel is just covered in sand — then I’m covered in sand and need to get back into the water. Then I get it out and need to dry off and bam, covered in sand all over again.

But this Wearable Towel is more like a towel toga, I can put it on my sandals or something and come back from the water and throw it on. It even looks kinda sexy on girls, it’s like a towel sundress. My girlfriend and I use it in the bathroom too. Use it to dry your hair quick and throw it on like a robe, but you can actually walk around with it on and get some air.

Buy It Or Not?

Totally but it, it’s the Snuggie of summer!!
I found a place to buy wearable towels online, but now I can’t find the link again. I’ll update this a little later when I do find it.

I’m sure you’ve seen the ridiculous Shamwow commercials by now and asked yourself “do Shamwows work?” I must, somewhat reluctantly, say these things really are a great towel to have around the house.

I’m kind of a paper towel junkie, and it’s really bad for everyone — expensive for me and harsh on the environment. The latter never really deterred me from using paper towels for everything in the kitchen, but since going on unemployment, I’ve had to really save some money. I tried, at behest of my girlfriend, using dishtowels in the kitchen. But one spill and I had to wash the dang things — lame.

So, in my depths of kitchen towel despondency, I saw the commercial for Shamwow for the 100th time. Could it be, a sign from the almighty TV? Probably not, but it got me interested. So I looked up some Shamwow reviews and found that people actually seemed to like them — even people that weren’t on the commercial!

So I ordered myself a batch of Shamwows, and boy was I Shamwowed when they came….
OK, maybe not Shamwowed, but they really did the trick. (Now would be a good time to watch this video. My crappy camera died two times, and even on the third try with a damp Shamwow, the thing soaked up all the water.)

The deal I found came with eight Shamwows — four big ones and four little ones.

We go through about one of these a week in the kitchen. And they can really soak stuff up, I’ve spilled an entire bowl of tomato soup and it was just gone, the only thing left were my oyster crackers — which the dog ate. We use the big one for everything we used a towel for: soaking up spills, wiping stuff down and an impromptu oven mitt. The little one makes a good dish rag or dusting rag. I also use the big one as a sham for the car — it gets rid of the water spots before I wax the thing.

The only problem I have is that you can’t put them in the dryer. I had to throw away two of the things after I tried to dry them quick. The weird fiber seems to just get eaten away. So do not put Shamwows in the dryer!

Buy It Or Not?

Buy it. Try to ignore how annoying the commercial is and pick some up. They’ve saved me probably $100 on paper towels since I got them. Buy Shamwows at www.shamwow.com and get eight towels for about $20 — a great deal on any towel.
