Friday Favorites -shocking confessional edition

Yes, It is another shocking confessional.

(I am trusting you with one of my deepest darkest secrets- taking the chance that some of you may turn away in disgust, never to visit this blog again)




Yup- I like QVC (the television shopping network).


(go ahead and laugh)


No, I do not have a Diana Prince complex: I do not regularly find myself shot at; so I do NOT need big chunky bracelets that will deflect said bullets, and I do not regularly dress up as Wonder Woman-
Thus I do not need these bracelets...

Same goes for Green Lantern's power ring.





And No, I do not consider Joan Rivers to be a fashion maven to be emulated. (Any more than Phyllis Diller- Sorry ladies)




So Then why QVC? Well, I do love Peter Roth Thomas' "unwrinkle" especially the "peel pads" (sorry guys t.m.i?), BUT you REALLY should check out their line of "Temptations" oven to table ware- seriously go check the " Temptations line" out- I'll wait....
ok- so maybe later.
But in truth, it is their customer service department that puts them on my Friday favorites!

A couple of times I have made purchases from them (patch perfect grass seed/ fertilizer and Corky's ribs come to mind) when the purchase simply did not meet my expectations.
In both these cases I simply had to call to ask for a refund and one was cheerfully given. I did not even have to mail back the empty bags. I pray that nothing happens to change this company's wonderful customer service policies (though I do see the potential for people to abuse it).
There is also the possibility of abuse of their "speed buy" gimmick.

ehh Hero???
Thank goodness for that return policy :-)
(time to put Animal Planet back on)
Have a great weekend!

I to have bought things from QVC but. I don't watch it regularly. Because I can talk my self in to thinking I need something that I didn't know even was available.
Have a good week-end. It looks like Hero is enjoying his week-end.

I can never ever see you in the same light! J/K
It is funny that that is a guilty pleasure for you. One of my good friends just sits and watches QVC for hours, I totally make fun of her for that.

With so many channels available, QVC didn't make it on my favorites list, so it doesn't even show up on my channel guide. I may have to rethink that :)
