Snuggie

So, my friend Jenna sent me this great article called "How I Fell in Love with the Snuggie" written by Kurt Soller of Newsweek(http://www.newsweek.com/id/189109). She sent me this article probably because I am a pretty cold person (temperature not attitude) and am always covered in a blanket while around the house- especially because my boyfriend keeps the house at a cool 70 degrees.

And no after reading the article and seeing all the infomercials, I think I am hooked and need to buy one immediately. It is only $19.95 for two plus a free book light so I think it would be worth it. I think a guy writing about it from Newsweek definitely adds some legitimacy to all of the buzz.

I think Kurt sums it up great when he says:

"Even if we're not personally feeling the strain, there's a buzz in the air that tells us to stay home, to relax on the couch, to cook our own dinner—to squirrel up and save for a rainy day. For those who have lost their job, there's depression and the desperation of seeking new work. Since November, when Snuggie took off and President Obama was elected, it's gone downhill. And right now, we just want to be hugged—or Snugged, if you will."

I will definitely keep you posted when I try it out. For now, the Snuggie is one of many things I would like to own.
