I'm Calling Bullsh*t!

I've watched a thousand and one infomercials growing up. Our upstairs t.v. only got 13 channels, one of which was almost always broadcasting a pseudo - celebrity hawking something we didn't need. But that didn't stop me from trying to get my mom to order whatever item said celeb was selling.

She must have given in at some point because we ended up with some very intense Tony Little workout VHS tapes. If you don't know who Tony Little is, please look him up, you won't be disappointed. I don't know what kind of crazy he had pumping through his veins but I couldn't get enough of him.  If you don't know what a VHS is google it, kid.

Really?



Like any exercise program, you only saw results if you put in the work. Which let's be honest, a lot of us don't. If we did there would be a lot less infomercials.
Point being, we know when we are being sold a bill of goods

Instagram has its own version of infomercials in the form of bogus accounts promoting miracle weight loss, bigger booties and my most recent favorite, bigger boobs.

Yes, according to one account, there are specific foods that will grow your breasts.
I am not a medical professional but I know a thing or two about boobs and it is safe to say that there are no foods that will grow your breasts. Not like that above picture is promoting at least.

It's easy to get carried away and fall into the photographic glamour of some of the stuff we see on Instagram. I've bought excessively priced coconut butter from an account I followed because it looked so appealing. It was good, not $50 good and it was impossible to spread. 

I did purchase a necklace from another account I followed. It has a great message that means a lot to me and I wear it almost daily. So like anything, you get the good with the bad.  It's just important to be able to decipher the two. End rant. :)
