LOVE

I wanted to interrupt your blog searching to tell you

I love you today

and the other 364 days of the year.

I also love my red Frye leather boots. That is why I work hard to take care of them.

A good leather water repellent is hard to find.

But never fear, this one from Trinova has an advanced formula to add a layer of protection to your leather goods that helps guard them against unsightly water damage - which it important to me here in Utah and this crazy Spring weather we have been experiencing.

It can also be used on other leather shoes, jackets, handbags, purses, backpacks, vests, clothing, leather seats, and saddles.

NO TRICKS - Bed Sheet Set

I really don't like April 1st. I am gullible - it's true. 

So what is my solution this year? Why not stay in bed?!

I have a new 4 piece (1 flat sheet 102"x90", 1 fitted sheet 80"x60",  and 2 pillowcases 20"x30") silky smooth, brushed microfiber bed sheet set that is so comfy! Why wouldn't I stay in bed.

I am an adult, so I figure I need some good sheets. This set is fade, stain, shrink and wrinkle resistant.  It is ore durable than cotton, hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. It isn't, however, resistant to dog hair when my furry friend sneaks under the covers when I'm not looking. But, they are machine washable so we can compromise.

 If you don't like the gray, don't worry, the set comes in a handful of different colors. They have a light stripe design that is fabulous. My favorite thing about this set is the company. They offer a 100% LIFETIME GUARANTEE on every purchase.

PS The sheets fit mattresses up to 16" so you can put them on a mattress in your bedroom, guest room, RV, vacation home, or wherever you want. It's always time to buy some new sheets! #Mellanni

POOP HAPPENS

My best friend has paws.

My dog Day-Z and I go on adventures together all of the time.

Walking with dogs means you have to pick up poop. It's a fact. I have a history of having doggy poop bag bundles unroll as I try to grab one from my bag or middle console in my car. It makes a mess and then a bigger mess when I try to roll it back up and then I get frustrated.

Now I have a new Petoyo® EarthFriendly dog waste bag with dispenser. It is like a whole new world with no more bag roll mishaps. The dispenser is easy to open and refill. I would think most bags would fit in the dispenser, but these bags are great. They have a light scent that isn't too overpowering, but might distract you from the stink you are picking up for your pooch. 

The bags measure 9x14 inches each. They aren't the thickest bags I have used before (eco-friendly), but they are leak proof so you don't have to worry about getting a mess on your hands. 

The dispenser comes with a tiny carabiner that I like to attach to my leash. My niece likes to attach it to the belt loop on her pants.  It is great for travel or to take on simple walks with your dog. 

Make your life easier and get a waste bag dispenser if you don't already own one!

CAMPING HAMMOCK

I live in Utah. I have just recently decided I need to enjoy the outdoors more. That's why I am so excited about the new package that was just delivered to my house. I am now the proud owner of two camping hammocks. The first is a double camping hammock with tree straps from #Liveinfinitely.

I like that this hammock just folds up inside this little pouch that is attached. It is so easy to assemble and clean up. The included tree straps roll up into a nylon carrying case as well.

 This double hammock is strong and durable. It is made from the highest quality weather resistant 210T nylon with interlocked triple stitched seams (for you technical people out there) and is guaranteed to hold 450 lbs (put in simpler terms for me). The quick drying, weather & mildew resistant hammock (also machine washable) measures 9' 10" long by 6' 6" wide (300cm x 200cm) which can easily hold 3 adults. Anybody want to join me?

It comes with 11' 5"durable weather resistant nylon tree straps that have a stainless steel lashing ring and unique triple running stitch. The straps are designed to prevent stretching while still allowing simple setup. And if I can do the set up and tear down in less than 5 minutes...you can too. 

 My second newest prized possession is the ultralight camping hammock from #Rallt with #TheUltralight hammock straps. This hammock has super lightweight components. The built-in compression straps cinch it down to a tiny 6” x 6” x 4” package, making it an excellent choice for those of ya'll who like backpacking. It comes with everything you need to hang it including ropes and aluminum wire gate carabiners. 

The ultralight hammock is also made of a 210 nylon body and can hold up to 400 lbs safely with premium carabiners and nautical-grade rope. This one is made for one, but my dog Day-Z snuck in with me. I mentioned it comes with straps and all, but I wanted to try out the hammock straps available for purchase from the same company. You get 10 feet each strap and they pack to 4" x 4" x 1.5" and weigh 12 ounces for the set. Also, reflective tracers are stitched into the webbing for those adventurous ones who need a quick set-up or take down in the dark.

It also folds up easily in nice little attached pouches. 

Check out their free guide to hammock camping on their site.

Now who wants to go camping with me??

Both companies want you to be happy so your purchase comes with a satisfaction guarantee...and you all know I LOVE great customer service!

I received these products free of charge for my honest opinions.

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

I know Christmas isn't about the presents, but it's a tradition in my family. I don't know if you are like me and still have some shopping to do, but here is my list of gifts that go beyond the usual bottle of lotion or gift card the recipient will misplace.

The pillow is inflatable so you can adjust the size and firmness to your liking.

It can also be used as a back pillow for lumbar support. This product is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
