The process is called “Earthing“, and needless to say, it’s pure and utter crapola. Lucky for us, there’s now a way to “Earth” even when we’re indoors — you can purchase an “Earthing Premium Starter Kit” which is basically a bunch of pads to stand or sleep on, which are connected to the grounding plug of an electrical outlet. Only $199!

Thanks, Daniel, for the link.

Does it work? Based on the reviews, although a little rusty, it does a surprisingly good job.

How does it work? From what I understand, the pictures are submitted to a human-powered service called Mechanical Turk. Once the food is identified, the information is submitted to Daily Burn, the creators of Meal Snap, and the calorie content information is found in a database.

Magic? Not exactly, but pretty darned close to it.

That’s the quote from the Power Balance website. The product of which they speak is a rubber bracelet with two mylar holograms on it. The claim is that wearing this thing helps improve balance, strength, and flexibility.

Well MY claim is that this product is a pile of horsecrap. There is absolutely no solid scientific reason why this piece of junk would have any effect other than that of a placebo.

If you have $20 burning a hole in your pocket, do yourself a favor and pick up a couple of these instead.

My guess is that it’s good as new.

Enter the latest fashion trend: Vajazzling! New York City’s Completely Bare Spa offers a special waxing service, “followed by a Swarovski crystal tattoo design in starburst, butterfly, heart and other shapes.” According to Jennifer Love Hewitt, getting her “precious lady” covered in crystals was just what she needed to get over a breakup. “It shined like a disco ball.”

Ellen’s at it again, this time showing her latest favorite fitness product, the 3 Minute Legs, and once again, the creators of the product brag about being “featured” on Ellen’s show.

It’s hard to look at a commercial for the Shake Weight and take it seriously. Ellen realized this and not only showed the commercial on her show but gave the ridiculous device to everyone in the audience.

According to Ellen, the Shake Weight is good for “working out muscles I have never worked out in my life!” (Take a look how it moves and you’ll understand what she means.)

The creators of Shake Weight claim that “Ellen loves her new discovery.” Oddly enough, however, they don’t include a link to the clip of her show.

Enter the Happiness Hat. A sensor measures whether you’re smiling or not, and if the answer is no, you get jabbed in the head with a metal spike.

Says Lauren McCarthy, the inventor of the device, “I’m not suggesting we stab people until they smile. I’m interested in whether technology can teach us to be more human.”

Funny thing about Latisse — it used to be a glaucoma medicine called Lumigan. When applied to the lashes instead of the eye, it makes them grow.

The problem is that rebranding a drug doesn’t make its original effect go away. When not used properly, the consequences can be as harmless as brown iris pigmentation (which is still undesirable) and as serious as bacterial keratitis (which can result in blindness).

Let Brooke Shields use this crap. If you want full lashes, get false ones.
