Salon Science - Thickening Serum

If you are anything like us at The Amazing Blog you are always looking for products to use on your hair for optimal care without a lot of chemicals. On our search for natural hair products, we stumbled across Salon Science, an innovative haircare collection which uses plant stem-cell technology. Salon Science’s mission is to treat your hair at a cellular level for long-term results. The brand puts years of scientific research in their products to find the best ingredients derived from rare plant extracts for your hair to benefit from.  

The star ingredient of the Salon Science Thickening Serum is their AnaGain Organic Pea Sprout. The Pea Sprout contains an enormous level of special phytonutrients, proteins, starch and fibres, which the Salon Science scientists found to initiate the growth of new hair in human follicles. Salon Science uses these high tech fibres in their lightweight Thickening Serum perfect for targeting hair loss and helping to restore the body and bounce of your hair. Visibly denser, thicker and fuller hair are the results – what more could you want? 

To see results just rub 2-5 pumps of the serum between your hands and work it into dry or towel dried hair. It’s a leave-in product so there is no need to wash it out, which makes for a super easy use. The Thickening Serum is part of a 3-step regime, which also includes a shampoo, conditioner and treatment. You can purchase the whole range from Boots. The Thickening Serum is £15 and you can buy it here.

Conscious Water

Mindfulness is something we try to work on here in the office at TheAmazingBlog Therefore anything that enhance this state of mind is a huge plus. Enter centre right Conscious Water which is a 100% natural flower essence water enhancer. You simply add it to water for a refreshing drink and to add an aspiration to your day. There are six aspirations to choose between; sweet dreams, clarity, love, serenity, rejuvenation, and happiness.

By choosing one of the Conscious Water aspiration sachets and drinking it, you are reminding yourself to take a moment to yourself each day to reflect on who you are, and what you would like to achieve. In our hurly burly world we just love this idea. Other than the affirmations, there are a variety of flavours that offer a very subtle and pleasant herbal taste and making our London tap water a bit more interesting! The natural herbal remedies of plant extracts and flower essences are a wonderful alternative to traditional medicines. Ilan Azouri, the founder, claims that herbal remedies give him a good life balance and happiness, and that's what we're aiming for!

If you are one for mindfulness, these Conscious Waters are a great way of taking a brief moment out of your day to focus on yourself, and step away from the hectic world that we live in. We think that they make an original gift or stocking filler for Christmas. They contain only natural flavourings, no artificial colours and chemcials or artificial preservatives. Purchase a pack of 30 for £39, or a tasting pack for £8.95 on their website here.

Bath Oil – Olverum

After a long and busy day, we here at The Amazing Blog love to turn off our working minds by taking a soothing and relaxing soak. When we do so, we like using bath products that we are sure will provide us with the care and relaxation we seek. So, when we received the Olverum's bath oil, we couldn't resist the temptation to experience them. The recipe for Olverum’s Bath Oils is a family secret that has been passed down over decades. In the early 20th Century in Germany Franz Otto Klein, a fine-wine maker, together with his wife, an accomplished pharmacologist, travelled the world to source rare and exquisite essential oils.

Through passion and specialist knowledge, they created a luxurious bath oil made with a mix of carefully selected plant extracts each renowned for having specific therapeutic benefits. The natural essential oils include Eucalyptus, Siberian fir Needle, Verbena, Juniper, Geranium, Lavender, Lime, Rosemary, Lemon and Lavandin. Siberian fir Needle is a long-used ingredient used by native women in the forests of Siberia to soothe aching limbs that Franz and his wife discovered on their travels.

The highly-concentrated oil helps to ease muscle and joint pain, and soften the skin. The aromatherapy benefits of the oil relieve stress, relax the mind and body, and promote a good night sleep, which in turn helps to repair the immune system. The unisex fragrance of the product is universally pleasant and is sure to uplift your mood during your evening bath. This oil offers the ultimate bathing experience, your skin soaks up all the benefits of the oil and is left nourished, relaxed and pampered.

Purchase the Bath Oil here for £29 (125ml), £53 (250ml) or £19 for the travel set (3x 15ml).
