Bee's Wrap - Sustainable Food Storage

Here at The Amazing Blog we are always looking for healthy, natural products when it comes to beauty, but we're always pleased when we can take this ethos into the kitchen. Plastic clingfilm is a firm staple in most homes, but the all-natural Bee’s Wrap is set to change that. No one knows what harm the chemicals plastic wraps contain can do, and so we were excited to find a natural alternative to keep our food fresh.

The design of the Bee’s Wrap is such a thoughtful idea. The wax coating the cloth softens and moulds around the food or bowl, keeping it airtight - there’s even a cute wooden toggle and string to add extra security. The wrap itself is made from totally organic muslin cloth, and then steeped in Beeswax, Jojoba Oil and Tree Resin. Although this may sound like an odd concoction, it ensures the wrap is malleable, water resistant, airtight, anti-bacterial and reusable. There is no denying the effectiveness and usefulness of this product; lunchboxes will never be the same again.

The wrap is decorated with a honeycomb print, and the toggle is stamped with an image of a bee, to keep in line with the ingredients used to make it. It holds quite a potent scent which fades over time, but we loved that it had a hint of honey. It gave us a satisfied feeling that we were using something natural and chemical free. Every little helps in our opinion. The wraps are available in three different sizes, as well as specialised sandwich and bread wraps. Join those of us who have ditched the clingfilm for a natural alternative, get your Bee’s Wrap here for £14.95 (Assorted sizes), £11.95 (Bread) and £8.95 (Sandwich). 

The Konjac Sponge Company - Angel Cloth

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re big fans of cream cleansers. Whether we give our faces a scrub in the shower (guilty as charged) or give our cleansing routine a bit more loving attention, we usually reach for a flannel or muslin cloth to help us along the way. So we were curious when the Original Konjac Angel Cloth from The Konjac Sponge Company landed on our desks, and were excited to see how it compared to our regular cleansing tools.

Looking uncannily like a prawn cracker, we were somewhat bemused by the odd looking cloth. However, when rinsed with water, the cloth relaxes and expands into a soft cleansing square, perfect for use with our favourite products. Rich in minerals and super gentle on the skin, the 100% Natural Vegetable Fibre Face Cloth makes a milder alternative to a muslin cloth, and is extremely kind to the skin. Made from the Japanese Konjac plant, it’s packed with antioxidant properties and, being 100% natural, is more than ideal for sensitive skin. We were surprised by just how soft it was – it’s certainly not what you expect when you see the angel shaped sponge in its packaging.

Turn over a more gentle cleansing leaf with the Original Konjac Angel Cloth. You can buy it here for £11.99.
