The Sterling Prevail Shower Door Makes Life Easier

The Sterling Prevail Shower Door Makes Life Easier

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sterling for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. If you're like me, you love having shower doors, but you don't love that hard track that always seems to be in the way. The Sterling Prevail shower door keeps the convenience of shower doors without the hard track that can dig into your skin if your bathing the kids or the dog or even washing out the laundry bin. Sterling Prevail Shower Door - Sensitively Tough The Sterling Prevail shower door is a wonderful take on the classic sliding door design. We all know the standard shower door track.

Visiting Tomorrowland at Disneyland & 8 Things I love at Disneyland #TomorrowlandEvent

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #TomorrowlandEvent. All opinions are my own and were not swayed by any outside sources!

Lets rewind to this past April when I received an email...
