Brylane Home Spring Reviews and a Giveaway

I've survived winter and I'm bursting with Spring energy.  I'm out walking and I'm inside sprucing up with a good spring cleaning too.

The temperatures are just right for walking to the store, but comfortable temperatures or not, I still only have two hands. That's where my new BrylaneHome cart comes in handy!
This BrylaneHome shopping cart is just the ticket! It's small enough to not be cumbersome, while still having room to hold a bag of cat food plus several bags of groceries too.  And it's saving my arms and shoulders!
BrylaneHome does a wonderful job with packaging to ensure you get a safe delivery.  My cart came shrink wrapped and double boxed.  Plus you can always count on them to stand behind their products if anything unfortunate happens between the warehouse and your home.

Assembling it couldn't have been any easier.  It was a simple 4 step process and no tools were required.  I was able to put it together in less than 5 mins.  Now that's my kind of project.
The construction is really sturdy.  With it being so lightweight you wouldn't think it would be that strong but it really is. There's no rattling or loose feeling parts on it.  I love the foam handle too, it's very comfortable to pull or push.  I prefer tilting it back and pulling it all the back wheels.  I've already taken it to the store several times.
This lightweight shopping cart is perfect for trips to the grocery store and has special back wheels that climb curbs and stairs with ease.
  •  max weight capacity of 30-lbs.
  • front 360 degree rotating wheels for smooth movement
  • open: 36 3/4"H, basket: 14"W x 16"D x 18"H
  • folds flat to store
  • all-weather polyester fabric liner with Velcro closures
You'll love this easy to maneuver shopping cart that's ultra-lightweight for a stress-free trip to the store.  This cart is regularly priced at $79.99 but right now it's on sale for $49.99 at a savings of 37% HERE!
Yep, that's Neil's bare feet in the photo, as he holds the cart so I could snap a picture when I came home from shopping.

My cart wasn't the only thing I received from BrylaneHome. Take a look at my brand new shiny stainless steel trash can (and my photo bombing cats).
When it comes to spring cleaning we all think about cleaning floors and baseboards, maybe even buying some new linens or towels.  But how often do you think about changing out your trash can.  The poor work horse of the kitchen barely gets a second thought.  Well, every time I open my pantry door I think about it.  My tired, worn and frankly, broken trash can was an eyesore that needed to go.  It was pretty embarrassing when someone would ask where's your trash can.  There was my pantry, nice and neat with my hand painted walls looking good and then there was this (notice the before picture).

Notice how with my old trash can, the round shape wasted a lot space.  I love the slim rectangular shape of my new BrylaneHome trash can.  The shiny stainless steel is so easy to keep clean.  The easy-lift, spring-loaded black plastic lid is a nice feature too.  The can holds a standard 13-gallon trash bag.
One of the features I find really unique and so helpful is the built in clip for the bag.  It keeps my bag from slipping down in the can, something that drove me crazy with my old trash can.

It's available in your choice of 3 colors...white, copper or stainless steel.  Best of all, you can save 50% right now. Thats right, it's regularly priced at $79.99, but you can buy it on sale for $39.99.  What a deal!  Click HERE to see more at the BrylaneHome website. 
You can see it was nicely packaged in styrofoam.  
It came in 6 easy to assemble pieces that took me less than 10 minutes to put together.  Again, no special tools were needed and the instruction sheet was easy to follow.

I'm really happy with my Stainless Steel 40-L trash can.  And you know what they say, "When Mama's happy, everybody's happy".

BrylaneHome has so many well know for products that are "helpers" around the house.  Things that make all the hard work you do a bit easier.  How many times have you went to reach for something and had to ask someone for help or look for something to stand on?  Having a stepstool at my house is a must. Being 5'3", I'm always stretching for everything and I couldn't get by in my kitchen without one.


Julie over at Mamawj's Moment Away and I are partnering together again to host another giveaway to make your life a bit simplier.  This time we're giving our readers a chance to win this red extra large step stool, valued at $69.99, that Julie reviewed.  You really have to read her review HERE and you'll see just how sturdy and invaluable it is.  It's one of those items that you'll use so often you wonder how you ever did without. She's crazy about hers and says it's making life easier and safer every day.  Now I'm wanting one of these too! Julie will tell you everything you want to know about this great stool and lots of other "helpers" over at Mamawj's Moment Away

Spring Survival with Scott's Liquid Gold Giveaway

What do you first think of when you think about spring? Flowers? Easter? New Clothes? Cleaning?  I think of all of those.  They all have a common factor - a FRESH start.

    Here's a little History and the Future of Scott's Liquid Gold:
    In 1951 the president's grandmother bought the Scott's Liquid Gold formula.  His dad then began batching and bottling the product in the family garage and selling it from the back of a station wagon.

    What is the secret to the success of Scott's Liquid Gold?
    Simple - it's based on developing the best, most innovative, reasonably priced products as well as an extreme dedication to innovation and customer service.

    My final thoughts of Scott's Liquid Gold:
    Neil and I spend a lot of time collecting and selling antique items. Many of those items are have beautiful wood like you see on phonograph below.  Condition, patina and finish of wood are everything in the world of antiques. So as you can imagine we're very particular about the products that we use to clean them.  I can honestly say that we wholeheartedly recommend Scott's Liquid Gold on not only the wood but the brass and nickle as well.  I was surprised to learn that Scott's Liquid Gold Wood Wash Concentrated is even safe to use on my refrigerator! And it works great, just look at how clean it looks!! And who knew that they had a product like Screen Clean for my valuable electronics?
