SIMPLY WASHING TABLETS


Hey guys and girls I am back again this time with washing tablets, yay I love cleaning and all things lovely, although you maybe wanting to escape now if you are not one for housework or laundry, however you can always read this and recommend the tablets to a friend or your maid if you happen lucky enough like that and have someone who washes clothes for you.

First of all I was sent these washing tablets free of charge (gift) in return for a honest review.

These are both products





First of all both products are pretty much the same apart from ones allergen and fragrance free, and the other is non bio lightly fragranced. For me I had pretty much the same results clean great selling clothes although I did use my lovely comfort washing conditioner with my washing because I had the same results I am not going to go into too much detail but instead break up in bullet points the product details, then of course my overall verdict.

Overall Verdict



After using both products I am very impressed with how well my washing came out.
The washing smelt clean, and was clean too although if you have heavy soiled stains ie mud etc you may want to use a stain remover with the tabs to ensure you get the stains out properly.

I was impressed how i only needed 1- tablets per wash as currently I was using a whole draw full of powder as well as a few squirts of laundry gel to get my washing clean.
The fact I only needed 1-2 tablets made me shocked to how well it cleaned my clothes.
Im also really impressed with how well they dissolve.

My favorite out of the 2 products was the allergen free purely because they are ideal if you have any skin allergies like eczema etc.

The only downside for the product for me is the price as I am not used to paying out a lot of money for my washing things as i normally get discounts and deals on bulk buys.
Though these tabs would be great for when you travel to stay with friends and family if you want to wash your clothes in allergen free or didn't want to use your family's washing powder if you felt it would leave them short.

I defo recommend buying the tablets though purely because allergen free and because they easy to store and transport if need be.

Overall verdict 8 out of 10 because of the price.



Thanks for reading

Hey boys and girls its me again this time some fashion for you.

You maybe asking what fashion Kind of fashion I am into.
Mix and match is what I like I don’t really stick to a certain style other than wearing what makes me happy may it be a long knit jumper or a sexy playsuit, or a glittery short clubbing dress I have always been a firm believer of  wear what you want to wear, not what others are wearing, I know many ppl who buy kayne west trainers or a kimk dress just because the celeb wears it, even though they don't like the style they wear it because of the name.

so less of my ramble Here is the short quiz just for you.
courtesy of Bedroom Storage who claim by the quiz they can tell what kind of dresser you are, can this be true? how does this work?

Let's find out shell we see below for the fun quiz.


What results did you get? was it spot on for you?


Here is my result :Madam mumsy.

Anyway I will love and leave you for now.
I be back soon got a few lovely posts lined up this month
stay tuned beautiful people

Love hugs and dresses

Mine and my hubby's Weird Fish Hoodie's










Weird fish Hoody’s review




Hey girls and guys I thought I would introduce you to my hubby 
Because i do mention him in a few of my posts. 

some of you might be thinking so whos this mystery man.
So me and hubby have both got a new hoodie from weird fish, so this is perfect opportunity to not only introduce you to my hubby but show you the hoodies weird fish sent me to review for all of you.

Anyway the other week many of you was emailing me regarding my reviews and how you would love for me to add some fashion reviews, articles. to 

I spend hours per day looking at things I feel will be appropriate to share with you all as well as contacting brands or companies updating them on things you are wanting to see reviews on.

And to see if any of them have any upcoming products that they will let me show you before they are released etc

Thats why sometimes I aint here updating often due to looking after my family and replying to your emails as well as testing and trying products I have coming to the blog so I do apologise for not been able to post every day.

Anyway as mentioned weird fish sent me two hoodies
to try and see what me and my hubby thought.
Aswell as to show my lovely readers (yes you)

so anyway here goes

I was looking at the weird fish website after speaking to weird fish.
I did have a little choice to choose from but me being me I was still indecisive as i always want to make sure it is perfect or right before jumping into getting it.

I had a choice of the slip on hoodys the ones that go over your head which i was thinking how nice they looked but with doing makeup and hair slipping it on would mess up makeup and if i put it on before doing my makeup then it would still end up with makeup on or make me to hot when getting ready.

So i ended up choosing the zip up hoody which looks really fashionable and is easy to just slip on zip up, which is perfect for me with the cold days and the school runs meaning i can throw on hoody zip it up and take my little girl to school.




This is the weird fish hoodie I choose






£45 from weird fish 



What I think about my weird fish hoodie.

" Well For a hoodie it is one of the best looking hoodies I have seen I like the feel of the hoodie the material feels so soft.

I love how comfy the hoodie feels when I have got it on,
Also it doesn't feel too casual, 
It feels more smart casual so i don't feel as if i am dressing down.
If you know what I mean like you can pair it with skinny jeans a nice top and a pair of heels and go to a party.


I also love the fit of the hoodie it feels nice and fits really well.
I really love the colour of my hoodie the two tone with the grey and orange accent.
which is the hoodie on the weird fish website that stood out most to me.
(There is other colours are styles to choose from)


I am not one for following fashion as such
dont get me wrong I love fashion and trends etc,
But I do like to be unique.

With fashion I tend to mix and match, not only with new and old, but with diff styles I like to be different likes to short to be a clone.
Mix it up a little and have some fun after all thats how some trends are started, like if a celeb wears their t shirt inside out everyone starts doing it and it becomes a hit and everyone calls it fashion"
"sorry for rambling on I do get carried away dont I" ?

Introducing my wonderful hubby Shane.


Hes not to keen on selfies
but doesn't he look adorable 


This is shane not only is he my hubby he is my best friend,
He is not really one for fashion either
hes more for buying something he likes.

He is one of those people who doesn't want to wear something That 
half the town are wearing, unless he likes it himself as long as he finds it comfy to wear.

shane buys for himself and Tends to be very fussy with picking clothes.
Because it has to be to his taste as well as look good on as well as fitting nicely and feeling comfy to wear.

The Weird Fish Hoodie Shane choose

whilst on the weird fish website when I finally got to the mens section
I Asked shane what hoodie he would like.

He went for the zip up one also as he said it looked the most appealing.
He loved how even tho it was plain grey that it looked good and like the type of hoodie That you can pair up with pretty much most clothes.




£50 from weird fish 


What hubby thinks about his weird fish hoodie

Shane says 

“ When the hoodies arrived I bugged Caz to open the parcel,
I could not wait to see my hoodie and to see if it looked as good in person as it did on the weird fish website.

When I took it out of its packaging I was amazed to how soft the fabric of the hoodie felt it was so soft and could not wait to try it on.

As soon as I put it on I walked over to the mirror to see what it looked like on, and I was pretty impressed that something that I got online without been able to try it on in store suits me.

I would say if you are going to wear this in winter to wear a coat with it as it is not the warmest when its really cold outside.
So if its cold wear a coat too, it be more suited to spring time when its not hot and not cold but nice and mild.

The only thing that is missing from this great hoodie is pockets,
I do love a pocket when it comes to hoodies and jackets.
but overall I love the design and I love how it suits me"



Overall Verdict Of Our Weird Fish Hoodies

                                    hubby's weird fish hoodie            my weird fish hoodie                                           



Overall Verdict 


overall myself and Shane really love our hoodies,The only thing Shane found that his hoodie wasn't that warm when he went out in it bearing in mind it was sleeting out there. so you would need to wear with a coat if its cold outside.

we both love our soft the material of the hoodie is the hoodys feel great on and ageist the skin the hoodies fit very well and

don't feel too casual like most hoodies do.

Shane did not like the fact his hoodie didn't have pockets because he does love a pocket and he felt it would of made the hoodie better so he could have a pocket to put his keys in.

the normal price of the hoodies
Shane's hoodie is normally £50 
my hoodie is normally is £45

The price can be seen as expensive if you are on a budget.
But if you are after a nice fitting hoodie that feels great and looks great from a company/brand you can trust,
then it is worth every penny.

I couldn't really fault my hoodie but if i could change one thing about it i would have it more like Shane's and not have the big logo across the chest, and have it more subtle,
but that's just me being picky.

Time To Wash My Clothes 

(This is where I Egg my clothes) with the laundry egg of course)


I popped some white clothes in the wash first then throw the egg inside too I decided to test on the whites first because we all know how quick our white clothes start looking dull after so many washes. The worst of all was the old towel we keep by our door that leaks water.


Lets Put It To The Test

old towel before wash
Anyway the cycle was on and i was eager checking the timer on the washing machine as well as looking through the door excited to see if it was working like a big kid thats never seen a washing machine in use before.

After the washing cycle had finished the washing machine beeped, me and hubby raced to the kitchen. I opened the washing machine door and pulled the washing out of the machine to check how well the ecoegg performed.

The first thing I noticed was how much whiter the white clothes looked they was almost as white as what they was when I first brought the clothes. Then I pulled out that old dirty towel.

Lets see how well it cleaned the towel 


Towel after using eco egg

Well as you can see its 100 times cleaner although there is some very faint stains left.
The Eco egg as really done well with this one as they was some proper stains.

Anyway lets see what hubbys reaction was.
Hubby smelt the clothes and said “ This is the best smelling washing we have ever had"
 He said that with big grin on his face like a kid at christmas.

Now trust me on this one my hubby is a fussy one when it comes to clothes smelling good and not even our branded fabric conditioner smells as good as the eco egg.

Although some of the stains on the whites was still there but were not as bad, the eco egg did fade the stains.

I do suggest anyone buying this product to also invest in the eco stain remover,
 Especially if you have kids or are a messy eater like myself.

Fabric conditioner is optional meaning it is only needed if you want your clothes to have a stronger scent after washing, although the egg left my clothes smelling great without using any.

So you can use fabric conditioner if desired for that added extra scented goodness and as well as added extra softness.


Overall review


 Performance 9/10
Fragrance 10/10
Eco score 10/10

The Eco Egg has really impressed me and I shall continue to use the Ecoegg because brightened my white clothes it made my clothes smell really fresh and amazing the smell reminds me of a daydream in summer.

I love how gentle it is on the skin due to it being allergy tested, I shall also be using this on my daughters school uniform so I know she will be getting the best for her skin.

The ecoegg is also very eco friendly not only can you reuse the egg the pellets inside last 210 washes, and are cheap to buy when you need to refill meaning you save money and get more for your money at the same time.

I love the fact it made my washing smell amazing no other laundry brand has ever come close to this.

But if you want an even stronger fresh smelling scent and that added touch of softness check out the ecoegg concentrated fabric conditioner.

The only thing as I said above is that if you are someone who is a messy eater or someone that has kids etc you may want to invest in the stain remover too as the stain remover will help get out any stubborn stains.


Questions and answers
