REVIEW: LAUNDRAPP

this is a sponsored post 

Living at home with my parents means mom still does my laundry, I tend to take this for granted but i've been house sitting for a couple of weeks which has meant i've been doing my own washing. So i've been separating the colours and having to wash my work dresses separate to the rest of my washing .... effortt!! So the Laundrapp sounded so simple they collect your laundry wash it and then deliver it back to you!

I used the app to order. First of all you have to make an account and pop in your personal details for payment etc, It saves this information so next time is super speedy! Then you pick the service you want, I went for Wash and Fold which is a laundry service they offer. It's £15* for 8kg of washing which is about 1.5 loads in a standard machine. I just filled up a decent size carrier bag which seemed to be fine. On the app it does state that they bring a laundry bag for you to fill but they just took the New Look bag I popped my laundry in.  Then you pick your collection date and time slot and then you can arrange your delivery for 48 hours later and then place your order, Use the promocode 'AMYPYT' and get £10 off your order.

There's so many services to choose from, they do some special offers which are great and come up on the front page of the app so you can't miss them! You can pick individual items so if you had a particular dress that you needed dry cleaning you would pick the dress option that fits. The app is really easy to use. You add the options to your basket and place your order, easy! Then Laundrapp will do the rest, they collect your items and deliver them nice and clean to your door.

They follow the care labels on your clothing so your products should be safe, if you have any requests etc just let them know, there's a box for any special instructions on the basket page. If they have any issues etc they will call you or leave a note on any items. For example one of my tops had some marks on which I knew wouldn't come out in the wash, they left a note on saying they felt if they kept trying to remove the mark it would damage the product. I thought this was great that they went to the effort to leave a note on the item.

The slots for collection and delivery vary depending on your area but there's slots throughout the whole day and each slot is an hour so you don't have to wait in at home all day waiting for your delivery, you can plan it around your life. You can amend your order on the app aswell, so I had to change my delivery time and it was so easy to do, just make sure you save and amend the order.

The app has timeline so you can keep track of you order so you know they have marked it as collected and in progress etc. For delivery again the slots are an hour which is really convenient.
I got a phone call just before my delivery slot from Laundrapp because they were having some problems with delivery drivers so asked if they could reschedule delivery. I was actually house sitting so wasn't going to be at home so needed to find out if someone would be in however they said they could deliver it to where I was house sitting which made it easier for me and meant it didn't affect my moms morning either.

The the items were delivered by a friendly lady at the time we had agreed, they were delivered in plastic Laundrapp bags, hung nice and neat, ready to hang straight into the wardrobe.

The items look clean and are tumble dried, they looked really good like they had been ironed, some of my items were really creased before but they looked so nice and straight. ( i don't really know how to describe ironed clothes haha)

I was really happy with the service I received from Laundrapp, the app is so easy to use and a great value for money. The staff were really friendly and helpful and I feel they communicated with me really well about my order. I think they could do with more delivery drivers in Birmingham as this did affect my delivery options but I feel Laundrapp did everything they could to deliver my items.

You can visit Laundrapp.com to check if they deliver to your area, they currently deliver to London, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Solihull .

The app is avaliable on the Apple App Store and from GooglePlay

FASHION : FRESH WHITE FASHION TREND

KIMONO : NEW LOOK // BAG : NEW LOOK // SANDALS : CLARKS AT SHOETIQUE * //  CO-ORD : MOTEL ROCKS // HAT: RIVER ISLAND 

I'm loving the fresh white fashion trend right now! I think its so summery and chic. Theres some gorgeous pieces on the highstreet. I think the easiest way to bring in the fresh white trend to your outfit is with accessories so you could choose something like this backpack from new look which would add that bit of white to any outfit or these lovely sandals by Clarks at Shoetique  which are lovely, I like the little tan strap around the back! I love kimonos, this gorgeous one from New Look is actually a bargain at £9 in the sale! I really want a co-ord this summer. something like this one from Motel Rocks! I love stripes and you could easily wear the skirt with a jumper and black tights into the cooler months. I love hats on other people, I feel like hats are effort, you get hat hair and they blow away and fall off you head but this one from River Island is a great addition to any outfit right now  and key to the 70's trend.

E V E N T : #SUNNYHULL WITH MELL SQUARE SOLIHULL



Yesterday I went along to #Sunnyhull with Mell Square. I had such a great day, We started with a drink at the Little Red Bus Bar, the bar was really cute and they had a great selection of drinks on offer. We headed to Lush first where we got the chance to make our own bubble bar!!! We made sunnyside which is a gold glittery bubblebar to fit in with the Sunnyhull theme. We all helped out to make the mixture and then we made our own bubble bar to take home. We also got to have a tour of Lush in Solihull and got to see some of their latest products like their sun products. 

Next we headed off to Space NK where we got to have complimentary make overs! I had my whole base redone. I was so excited to try out some new products! The make up that was used on me was the By Terry Cover Expert foundation, I really like the coverage and the finish of this foundation. Apparently its easy to build up aswell, I might have to buy this on payday. She then used a Nars Contour palette for a natural contour and added some highlighter to brighten my cheekbones. She then finished the look with a Matte dark nude lip liner from Laura Mercier. I was so so happy with my make up, I don't think i've ever been so happy with my make up before but it was so good! 
The ladies at Space NK were on hand to offer help with products and even recommended some products and tip and tricks. 

We then headed over to House of Fraser to meet up with the fashion personal shopper who took on the challange of finding Ting something for everyday but smart enough for meetings. Ting rarely wears colour but wanted to try something new. I loved the items that the personal shopper picked out. First she picked a blue patterned midi dress with a sheer cover up t-shirt and then a pair of black skinny jeans and a gorgeous chiffon blouse. The personal shopper experience is something i'd love to try, and it sounds amazing. They offer the personal shopper service to everyone no matter whether theres an occasion or you just need to update your wardrobe for the new season. They have more knowledge of the different styles and options they have in store and can stick to what you like or can pick out things you'd never normally go for which can be great! You can phone up your local House of Fraser to book an appointment. 

After House of Fraser we headed to see Emily-Jayne at the Style Lounge. This was great she went through the different colours that work for different hair/ skin colours and then went through some of this seasons trends and colour trends. I spotted some amazing items like a gorgeous ikat fringe top from new look and some lovely kimono's. It was a great session, I feel like I'm more confident with what colours work for my skin and hair colour. You can book a consultatoin with Emily-Jayne on her website 

We went over to Sipsey after seeing some amazing pieces at the style lounge with Emily-Jayne, we got to see some lovely lingerie and nightwear. I was surprised to see they do bigger cup sizes and stock some really unique brands and styles. 

Finally we headed back over to the Little Red Bus Bar and I had a lovely Pimms and lemonade in the sun whilst watching some of the acts on the stage. The sun came out and it was a great end to a lovely relaxing day! I had an amazing day and got to spend time with some lovely bloggers and brands. 

Thanks to Mell Square for inviting me and for a great event!

OUTFIT : FLORAL CULOTTES

 TOP : NEW LOOK // CULOTTES: PRIMARK // SANDALS : NEW LOOK // NECKLACE: PRIMARK

I LOVE CULOTTES! They are so comfy and nice when the weather is so hot and sweaty like today. I had a day off today, I love having fridays off, I had a driving lesson and then went to take these photos with Clint before heading for a spot of lunch. Then we came home and chilled in the garden, it's been so sunny in Birmingham today! Clint's gone to work now so i'm hoping to get some blogging done. I have work tomorrow and then we are both off for a whole week! I'm going to an event on Sunday in Solihull so that should be fun and then we haven't really got anything else planned but i'm hoping to maybe go to the safari park and maybe even a little trip down to london or to the beach ( weather depending)  











BEAUTY: SUMMER FAVOURITES

 BIODERMA* // ANASTASIA DIPBROW POMADE // CLARINS UV PLUS* // URBAN DECAY POTION PRIMER IN SIN //  MAC LIPSTICK IN VELVET TEDDY AND BRAVE //  NARS SHEER GLOW *// LEE STAFFORD WONDERBALL WAVER* // JOHN FRIEDA BEACH BLONDE SALT SPRAY 


Here's a few products i've been using alot recently. I think Bioderma is such a handy product to have, with the hot weather weve been having it's so lovely to take your make up off when you get home from work! Bioderma makes this so easy to do and leaves your skin feeling clean. I love my brows!  I don't know how I ever survived without Dipbrow! Clarins UV Plus has become part of my everyday routine, it smells so good like suncream. Its a light formula suncream for the face, it contains spf50 so it's perfect for everyday. I love urban decay's potion primer, it makes your eyeshadow look so good and last longer. It's great for the summer when we need help keeping our make up from sliding off our face. Mac lipsticks are my favourite anyway but recently i've been wearing Velvet Teddy and Brave, they are both really nice nude shades perfect for summer.  Nars Sheer Glow, is my absolute favourite foundation, it's great for the summer because it feels so lightweight and it has amazing coverage and staying power. I'm seriously loving beach waves right now so i've been using a combination of my Lee Stafford Wonderball Waver and John Frieda Salt spray to get a really nice beach look!

FOOD REVIEW: THE BOTANIST BIRMINGHAM


I have wanted to visit The Botanist in Birmingham for AGES! We finally popped by today for lunch. The Botanist is in the City Centre of Birmingham on Temple Street, Just around the corner from the Bullring and New Street Station. The location is really great and it's so easy to get to!

We got there nice and early for Lunch so it was nice and quiet, we got seated in a cute little table in the restaurant area. The furniture is really quirky and cute, the place has a vintagey feel about it!

We ordered our drinks right away, I had a Grape, Raspberry and Elderflower cooler which was amazing!! It came in a cool jam jar glass, it was so refreshing. I would love to try some of their cocktails especially one of their watering can cocktails!

For lunch I ordered the Chicken Hanging Kebabs and Clint ordered the Chicken and Chorizo Pie. I have to say my Hanging Kebab was impressive, some ladies from another table had a spot of 'food envy' and kept looking over haha! The Kebab consisted of Chicken, Peppers and Mushroom and was served with a Garlic, honey and sweet chilli sauce which was amazing and served with fries. I ate every last bit, it was so good! The chicken was great quality and perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed my food! Clint really enjoyed his Pie which he chose to have served with mash, it also came with mushy peas. It looked really good, the pastry looked amazing. I could smell his mash across the table, and it smelled so good! He also cleared his plate!

We were too stuffed for pudding but there was alot of choice on the menu. I think the price was really resonable, It was just over £30 for two drinks and two mains. The food was amazing and the service was perfect. Our server was so attentive and professional, we had a great experience at The Botanist and will be returning! I think next time I'm going to try the Steak, Cheese and Onion Sandwhich or the Deli Board and I really want to try the Strawberry and Cucumber Breeze cocktail

Check out the Menus here on The Botanist website

TOP : NEW LOOK // JEANS: NEW LOOK // SANDALS : PRIMARK // 
NECKLACE: CLAIRES 

I've loved having a couple of days off with Clint, we have finished orange is the new black and ate so much junk food.  We went to Birmingham today to have a nosey in the shops and so I could buy the culotte jumpsuit from forever 21 that I should have just bought last week even though I had no money. We went to The Botanist for lunch, it was so good! I took some photos so I'll be writing a review this week. I didn't really know what to wear today because this morning the weather was looking decent but then it went cloudy so I popped jeans on. I love this khaki knitted top, its just so easy to wear! I got these cute sandals from Primark the other day for a fiver!!
