I am a sucker for fads and trends.
I know that they do not last long, and they are not usually worth the money.
Even though I know these things, I still make the mistake of falling for them quite often. My mom was the same way, so I guess that I got it from her. I am part of a mom club at our church, and right now there is a trend going around about media whole-house air purifiers. It all started with one mom who heard from a friend that the pollutants in the air of our homes is what is making our children sick. The news abruptly spread around our group, and now everyone is talking about media whole-house air purifiers and the need for them. It is almost like a sin if you do not have an media whole-house air purifier for your home. Although I do not guess media whole-house air purifiers are as necessary as they are making them sound, I do guess that it is a good idea to have one in my house, so I bought one. I looked online to find one that had good reviews. I bought it and had it shipped to my house. It was delivered to my house when I was not home, so they left it on my porch. I got household that evening, and it was dark so I did not see the media whole-house air purifier. I opened the door abruptly, and the door hit the media whole-house air purifier and knocked it off of the porch. I abruptly opened the box and found that it had broken into several pieces. I was so frustrated. I did not even get to try it out before it broke. I emailed the corporation, so I am hoping that they will send me a new one.
