She Said Yes: Brylane Home Stand Mixer with 2 Bowls Review & Giveaway

by

Wow, we can’t believe we have made it to the very last day of this awesome event.  We hope you have enjoyed all the awesome giveaways we have brought to you. We’re celebrating a special event in honor of two blogging soon to be brides, Alex from Mommys Craft Obsession and myself! Each day we will be debuting a special new giveaway or post so make sure you check back frequently! 

About the company: Brylane Home was started in 1998 to make consumers’ lives easier by keeping them up to date with the latest styles, colors, and designs.  They don’t think you should have to wait for a sale, so everyday they offer the best prices!  The company actually consists of two divisions:  Brylane Home & Brylane Home Kitchen.  Brylane Home is known as “America’s White Sale Catalog”.  With everything from Fashion bedding to Housewares to Bath items, they also offer Floor covering, vacuums, sewing, and ironing products to complete your home shopping experience. The Brylane Home Kitchen division was added in 2000 to bring customers hard-to-find kitchen and home essentials.  In 2005, the company merged the two divisions together to form BrylaneHome.com.  Customers can now easily access everything from home fashions, decor, kitchen essentials, and the perfect gifts, all at one site and at unbeatable prices. 
We don’t always get a lot of time to get out and actually shop for things we may need for the house since we have the baby.  For us, our problem was solved when we found Brylane Home.  They have everything we could want for our registry and beyond. From furniture to decor to appliances for indoors and out they are sure to have what you are looking for. Baking is a passion of mine and I knew a stand mixer was my #1 item for our registry to take my baking to the next level.  The one offered by Brylane Home is amazing and just what I wanted.

When the box arrived, you pulled it out and it was already set up and assembled.  I absolutely LOVE minimal set up work.  The stand mixer comes with two different sized bowls, a smaller one and a larger one, as well as regular mixing beaters and dough hooks. I do wish that that there were more attachments available, but it’s just so amazing, that’s easy to overlook. 

I love that it’s labeled where you should put the plate depending on which size bowl you are using. You can put the large bowl in either position, but the smaller bowl must be in the small position. The same plate is used for both which is great for minimal pieces.  
It has a soft cushioned grip on the top, and easy to push buttons for releasing the mixer down into the bowl and for ejecting the beaters. It’s so easy to use and I’ve never had a problem with the buttons sticking. 
The remaining button features are all located in one central location on the front on the machine.  A turbo option, on/off switch, and min/max speed dial.  I actually am in love with the dial for speed because I don’t have to flip a switch.  I really disliked traditional hand held mixers because I would always try to turn it up one speed and it would go all the way up.  This way I can just turn the dial and it slowly go up to the desired speed. There are also multiple suction feet so the mixer doesn’t move. The cord is also retractable and completely awesome.  I love that it’s one less thing I have to see on the counter! 

It’s an amazing stand mixer that it built for small and large baking jobs.  It’s just what I’ve been looking for in our new home and what any bride would love to add to their registry.  It’s a beautiful and timeless appliance that works beautifully! 
Below, you can see our short video of it in action.  I apologize for the black line at the top– we are still learning to take videos ha!


We really love our Brylane Home Stand Mixer with 2 bowls.  It is really going to help with baking this holiday season!

She Said Yes: Keurig Vue Review & Keurig Mini Giveaway

by

We’re celebrating a special event in honor of two blogging soon to be brides, Alex from Mommys Craft Obsession and I are engaged! Each day we will be debuting a special new giveaway or post so make sure you check back frequently! 

About the Company: Keurig is brewing excellence, one cup at a time.  Started in 1998 they strive for excellence and you will see it in all their work.  Their patented single cup brewing technology and gourmet brands of beverages all show their promise to excellence. Keurig is the leading single cup brewing system in North America and they believe coffee should always be served fresh just as if you were in a gourmet coffee house no matter where you are. In less than one minute, with their innovative brewing system, you can have the perfect cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. No grinding, no measuring, no filters–it’s as simple as it gets. 
Coffee Machines are a go to items on many people’s registry, however, for us we wanted something more than just a simple coffee maker.  We actually aren’t coffee drinkers ourselves, but both of our families are and we knew we would be inviting people over.  With the Keurig Vue500, we have the option to make tea and hot chocolate for ourselves, that we do enjoy, but also make a wide range of individual coffee selections for our guests without having to worry about throwing away a whole pot of coffee if only one cup gets drank.

I was beyond excited when our Keurig Vue500 came in the mail. It really is the best coffee maker I’ve seen because it’s so much more than just a coffee maker! This has be on my list for a long time and I was hoping to be gifted one for our housewarming or bridal shower.  The Vue500 is one of Keurig’s newest systems that allows you to “Brew stronger, bigger, and hotter.” Set up was extremely easy from taking it out of the packaging to getting it ready to go took less than 10 minutes.  Everything is clearly outlined and detailed in the three included manuals.  The entire time I have used the machine, I haven’t had a question that I couldn’t answer by looking in one of the manuals. 

The water reservoir on the left hand side of the Vue500 machine holds 60 ounces of water and is completely removable.  The max fill line lets you knows exactly how much water you can put in so there is no guessing and no overfilling.  I loved being able to remove it rather than having to find anything container and bringing it over. 
We got our brand new Vue cups at our local Target store.  They were clearly labeled different from the K-cup packages that you are used to seeing so there is no confusion in which ones you should be picking up. There is a distinct difference between these and the K-cups.  It was incredible easy to figure out how to insert the Vue cup into the machine and then lower the lever to get ready for our delicious beverage. 
As you can see below, once you lower the lid, the Vue500 machine makes two holes into the Vue Cup for it to begin working it’s magic. 
The power button and BREW buttons are easy to touch, with no sticking issues.  The BREW button lights up when it’s ready to be used.  The fully programmable black and white touchscreen is absolutely amazing.  I’ve only used an older model Keurig once in Andrew’s office and it was nothing like the awesomeness that that Keurig Vue500 touchscreen provides. 
With the Vue500 touchscreen you have so many amazing options. You can brew hot or over ice including coffee, tea, hot cocoa, ice beverages, speciality beverages, and cafe beverages to truly makes Keurig’s best cup yours. You have the option to brew different sizes, different beverages, different strengths, and different temperatures. 

Once we figured out the options that we wanted for the perfect cup, it was time to put the machine to the test! It was amazing! 
We have done both regular coffee and iced coffee and both were ready in under a minute.  The first time we tried it, it stopped and Andrew and I were both like no way it was done that fast, but sure enough after reading our manual again, it really was!  How’s that for fast service! 
Even clean up is a complete breeze.  The drip cup is completely removable in three separate parts and was extremely easy to put back together as well.  
We are absolutely in love with our Keurig Vue500.  We love having the option to brew what we love, but still have the options to have what our family loves when they are over.  This should definitely be on your Top 5 wish list for your wedding registry! We can’t wait to try out more varieties. Even the baby wanted some (not yet, little mama!).

She Said Yes: Wellness Mats Vanity Collection Review & Giveaway

by

It’s Day 3 of us celebrating a special event in honor of two blogging soon to be brides, Alex from Mommys Craft Obsession and myself! Each day we will be debuting a special new giveaway or post so make sure you check back frequently! 

Today’s sponsor is:

Wellness Mats knows that consumers are aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and set out in 2000 to manufacture products that truly make a difference. The philosophy is simple- if they can address the health and safety concerns of millions in the workforce, then they can extend it to the home setting too. These mats are the mat of choice for Homeland Security and TSA and widely advocated and used in the hospitality, industrial, medical, and health & spa industries. They believe in doing things the right way and that means from innovation to technological advancements their company is built on integrity and honesty. And because they are the manufacturer, they know every mat shipped is handled with the same care, concern, & commitment. Wellness Mats will also never compromise their products, values, or integrity by looking for shortcuts. That’s why every mat is 100% “Made in America”.

When I started thinking about my wedding registry, I wanted to make sure that I remembered things that were not common, but that I would really need in our brand new home. For us, one of those things were bath mats.  I didn’t want just any old bath mat though, I wanted the best.  And I knew to get the best, I needed to go straight to Wellness Mats for their superior quality and amazing craftmanship. Their Bathroom Collection is designed to look amazing in your bathroom, but will look great no matter where you put it. 

Why Wellness Mats? They have you covered no matter where you need a mat.  Kitchen, Bathroom, Workplace, working out, garage, grill, and some many more ideas, you can’t go wrong. These revolutionary, anti-fatigue floor mats are ergonomically engineered to help you say goodbye to back, knee, and foot pain. Medically proven to provide comfort, safety, relief, and support while you stand.  Their 7 year warranty guarantee provides you with: 
  • Unmatched comfort
  • Premium 3/4″ thick
  • Edges will never curl
  • No-trip ¾ beveled edge
  • Anti-microbial (by design)
  • Puncture & heat resistant
  • Stain & dirt resistant
  • Easy to clean
  • Safe & non-toxic (PVC-Free)
  • 7 Year Warranty!

We chose to receive the Antique Collection 3×2 in Bella. This print features a beautiful, lyrical relief pattern with a soft, subtle floral design and antique finish.  It’s absolutely gorgeous in person.  There’s an absolutely timeless feature to it that we know is going to last in our house for a long time.  It matches and goes perfectly in our bathroom.

The technology inside these awesome mats ensure they are thick and durable.  They are incredibly soft and you make you feel like you are walking on air. 

We love our Wellness Mats because they are easy-to-clean, never curl up, and provide incredible support. Both the top and bottom feature a non-slip surface which is perfect for the bathroom.  I don’t do my hair very often, so it was important to me to have something so durable and well made so that my feet and back didn’t suffer when I did decide to spend a lot of time in there.

Even Baby Skibbles loves playing on (and with) the mat that we received. Because she likes to play with it so much, I’m thrilled that it’s safe, non-toxic, and latex-free.

If there already wasn’t enough to love about these amazing mats and their superior quality, every made is handcrafted here in the USA. 

We are still having a tough time deciding where exactly we should put the mat in our house, but we know that no matter where we choose, it’s going to not only look amazing, but ensure that we feel amazing every time we step on it.  Everyone that has seen our Wellness Mat talks about how beautiful it is, then they step on it and say it’s the best thing they’ve ever stepped on.  We think so too!
