"Alright, gals: confession time. Recently, while on my book tour, I got sucked into a (pretty convincing) infomercial while staying in a hotel in La Jolla. So, I splurged. OK, I admit: Just like everyone else, I occasionally fall victim to health gadgets I see on TV. This time, I splurged on the NutriBullet. The Nutri-what, you ask? OK, it&amp;#x27;s sort of like the Magic Bullet (in fact, I think it&amp;#x27;s made by the same company), but it pulverizes food even more effectively. Essentially, you can throw in a banana, spinach, blueberries and almonds, and get a completely smooth, non-pulpy drink. Because I happen to be a huge fan of juicing (I like the feeling I have after a drink a fresh-made juice--it&amp;#x27;s very energizing), the NutriBullet appealed to me because it delivers the same nutrients-into-your-cells-fast promise, but also without ditching the fiber. Plus, it just looks really fun and convenient to use. I totally imagine that I&amp;#x27;ll be able to blend up a healthy breakfast as I rush out the door to take my son to kindergarten. Yes, the product&amp;#x27;s marketing language is a bit over the top &amp;quot;turn ordinary food into superfood and add years to your life!&amp;quot;--um...), but I do like that this thing has 600 watts of power that can &amp;quot;bust open seeds, crack through stems, and shred tough skins!&amp;quot; And, if it helps me eat more fruits and veggies, then great, right? I bought mine here (because it was cheaper than paying &amp;quot;six easy installments&amp;quot; of $19.99, or whatever the infomercial said). So, when it arrives, I&amp;#x27;ll give it a whirl and report back. OK, I have to know: What crazy health products have you bought after seeing an infomercial? Make me feel better. :) P.S. I tried it: a week working in a massage chair. And, could this be the world&amp;#x27;s coolest toaster? Photo: Target"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
