The Best Delicates Laundry Wash Bags | Review + Coupon Code + Giveaway

Posted on August 20, 2015August 20, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Thursday! Welcome to one of my first lifestyle posts as part of the Adventures in Polishland relaunch (more information on that HERE). Today I have a review of some laundry bags from the brand HaveSome Goods. I’ve been wanting to get some wash bags for delicate items because a lot of my items were getting damaged in the washing machine. Of course, I could hand wash everything, but who has the time for that?! I was so excited when I got the opportunity to review the aptly titled The Best Delicates Laundry Wash Bags. Let me show you how they work, and share my experience with them! Plus, stay tuned to the end of the post for a giveaway!

ABOUT THE PRODUCT & MY EXPERIENCE

The Best Delicates Laundry Wash Bags come in a set of three bags in the sizes small, medium, and large. The mesh fabric is designed to be strong yet soft, and can be put in both the washing machine and dryer. I really like the bright colors on the zippers, as it adds a pop of color to the bag that is purely decorative, but makes the bags a bit more fun to use. I decided to put all three to the test in one load of laundry right from the start!

There are two things that I absolutely love about these wash bags. First, the mesh fabric is thick enough to not snag in the washing machine, and I know it will hold up for many washes. At the same time, it allows for the soap and water to still pass through freely so your clothing will be thoroughly washed. My items came out smelling just as fresh and clean as always, and the bags held up perfectly through the washing and drying process.In addition, I also love the elastic band detail around the zipper closure. It allows you to hide the zipper so that it is not clanging around in the washer and dryer. It is a small detail, but one that is pure genius. Not only will you not hear that annoying clanging noise, but the zipper will not get caught on anything else in the laundry. I’m really impressed!

Finally, I wanted to mention how much you can fit in these bags! I placed two bras in the small bag, and there was definitely room for one more. I put two delicate blouses in the medium bag, and at least one or two more could fit in there as well. Lastly, I put one of my big cozy sweaters in the large bag. The large bag could hold more items for sure, but I wanted that sweater to go in alone because it has a tendency to snag easily. As you can see, these bags are perfect whether you’re doing just your laundry or your entire family’s!

WHERE TO BUY

All in all, I highly recommend The Best Delicates Laundry Wash Bags! I will be using these on a regular basis to care for my clothing from now on. You can buy this set of three wash bags on Amazon HERE for just $18.99! I think that is a fabulous price for bags that you can use again and again. In addition, HaveSome Goods offers a lifetime warranty, so you know this is an awesome product to invest in for the home. HaveSome is also offering a coupon code for all of you!

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias. #AmazonWishList #AmazonHasIt #CollectiveBias

#AmazonWishList #AmazonHasIt #shop #CollectiveBias Happy Tuesday! Today I am so excited to bring you information about the new #AmazonWishList feature! I am a dedicated Amazon shopper, and use many of the company’s features including Prime, the Rewards Credit Card, and, of course, Wish List. Now Amazon has made shopping with the site even easier. This post will explain the new #AmazonWishList feature, and also share how easy it is to shop for your college student through the site.

SHARE THE LOVE WITH YOUR COLLEGE STUDENT

This #AmazonWishList feature makes it easier than ever to send care packages to your favorite college student. As a student myself, I know how awesome it is to receive a package in the mail from a loved one. Goodies like candy and bath and body products are always nice, but Amazon has awesome practical gift packs that are ready to purchase at the click of a button. One care package that I think is a brilliant idea is the Proctor & Gamble Laundry Bundle. Not only is doing laundry a huge pain, but laundry products can be pretty expensive, especially when you’re a college student. I would love this bundle!

For just $32.99, you get everything you need for 70 loads of laundry: Tide Pods Spring Meadow, Downy Unstoppables Fresh, and Bounce Outdoor Fresh Sheets. Not only will you get great results with a fresh and clean feel, but you can also save an additional 5% when you sign up for a subscription to the Laundry Care Bundle Pack. That way, your college student will never have to worry about buying laundry products! Talk about an amazing gift! Head on over to Amazon HERE to purchase this bundle now!

I was so excited about this new program with Amazon that I decided to create some Tide inspired nails! One of the ways I stay sane during college is by painting my nails, and my suitemates and I used to meet up for nail painting parties in the common room. We would share our nail polish collections, swap nail art ideas, and just take a breather from work. I loved it! Let me know if you’d like a full tutorial of this look in the comments!

#AMAZONWISHLIST TWITTER PARTY

If this post has peaked your interest about the new features Amazon has to offer, I definitely recommend stopping by the #AmazonWishList Social Shopping Part on Wednesday, October 15 from 11:00am-12:00pm EST. During the party you’ll learn about the featured products and find out about special promotions. Plus, Amazon will be giving away 10 Kindles! How awesome is that?!

I hope you have enjoyed learning about the amazing new #AmazonWishList feature today, and that you will consider sending a care package to your favorite college student. Whether it’s the Laundry Care Pack or other goodies, I know he or she will appreciate the kindness. Please let me know in the comments what your favorite Amazon feature is, and if you’ll be testing out the #AmazonWishList program!

My March PopSugar Must Have Box!

Posted on March 9, 2013August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! Today I will be sharing with you a new monthly subscription program that I joined. The PopSugar Must Have Box is a lifestyle box filled with goodies from all different areas – beauty, home, fashion, and more! It is $35 each month, but the box is to have at least a $100 value. After doing some research, I decided to go for it and sign up! My goal was to use this box as an alternative to buying new products myself. I am loving my first box! Let me show you what was inside.

First I’ll show you what the box looks like when you get it. I love the bright pink tissue paper and the “Enjoy” sticker! It’s adds a personal touch. You can also see the little booklet that explains all of the items in the box. Look at all those goodies! So much to see here!

In your box you will also have items from different “Must Have” categories. Here are my two Must Have Fashion items. On the left is a Sweater Saverfrom Hollywood Fashion Secrets. It’s a small brick that your rub over sweaters and blankets to remove pills without damaging the items. I definitely have a couple sweaters that could use this! The Sweater Saver retails for $5.99. I also got a beautiful necklace from Heather Belle. It is a long gold chain with an octagon and tassel designs near the bottom. I’ve been wanting to buy more jewelry, so this is perfect! I was unable to find out the exact retail value of this necklace, but others on the Heather Belle website are selling for $75!

For the Must Have Home category, I got two more items. On the left is the Corkatoo Corkscrewfrom True Fabrications. This is such a cute corkscrew, and while I don’t drink wine, this will make a great gift item! It retails for $15.99. I also got this Denim Washfrom The Laundress. I am quite excited about this item! It not only retails at $19, but it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and allergen free. I can use this in my washing machine to make sure my denim isn’t fading! I will definitely use this entire bottle, and it will make my current bottle of laundry detergent last longer.

Now onto Must Have Beauty! I am so excited about these next two items. First is the Buxom Sculpted Lash Mascara. This is a $19 mascara and I am so excited! I love buying mascaras because it is one of the few makeup items I wear every day. This one is a high end brand that I wouldn’t have bought otherwise, but now I get to try it. I can’t wait to see how it works! I am also super excited about the nail polish I got! This is a set from The New Black called Pardon My French. I got the color set called Havoc. I’ve been dying to try these nail polishes, but couldn’t bring myself to spend the money on them. This mini set retails for $10! I will admit that I squealed a little when I saw this in the box.

Last but not least are my Special Extras for the month! Holly Fashion Secrets also provided a Fashion Tape Assortment Pack. This is great for holding accessories in place or hemming pants quickly. Also included were some Peeps! I don’t like Peeps, so these will be getting sent out in some nail mail. These are special bonuses, so I didn’t find out how much they retailed for.

All in all, my items add up to about $70 not including the necklace and the Special Extras. If the necklace is worth around $75, my box is definitely over the $100 mark! I’m really happy with everything in my box. They are either items I will use myself or give as gifts. I am going to continue on in this program for sure!
