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.

Drasanvi Hemp Oil Shower & Bath Gel and Rosehip Oil Body Lotion

At The Amazing Blog we're already big fans of the Drasanvi brand. In fact, a while ago we wrote about their popular Collmar Marine Collagen supplement here. So we were happy to discover the Drasanvi‘s body care range, with their Hemp Oil Shower & Bath Gel and Rosehip Oil Body Lotion to try. Drasanvi has over 23 years of experience in the natural health and supplement industry and has fast become the go-to point of reference in the European health and wellbeing sector. This brand is now a very welcome newcomer to the UK with their supplements currently available online at FeelGoodMatters. Drasanvi have built their reputation on producing an extensive range high quality and innovative products, together with a skin and body care range infused with natural and active ingredients from plants, fruit and minerals extracts.

Drasanvi Hemp Oil Shower & Bath Gel is a calming and soothing bath gel that is suitable for all skin types. It is enriched with hemp extracts and ylang ylang essential oil. Ylang ylang essential oil is renowned for its refreshing and sebum production balancing properties; it also promotes a clear and healthier skin. This unique combination of ingredients makes a nourishing shower gel that not only gently cleanses skin but also soothes it. The mix of the hemp extracts and Ylang Ylang oil create a reviving scent that instantly awakens your skin leaving it hydrated and silky smooth.

Whereas the Hemp Oil Shower & Bath Gel deeply cleanses and refreshes the skin, the Rosehip Oil Body Lotion helps to nutrify and regenerate. This body lotion has some premium natural ingredients which include both rosehip and geranium oils, making it the ideal choice for dry or mature skin. Geranium and rosehip oils are floral essential oils that are used to repair and rejuvenate the skin; which in turn helps to reduce the appearance scars and stretch marks. The subtle combination of geranium and rose leaves a very delicate and long lasting scent on the skin. Why we particuarly like this body lotion is because it absorbs quickly and leaves no tell-tale white residue.

Both these products are not tested on animals and made from natural and organic ingredients. They have the European ECOCERT certification, therefore conforming to the highest quality standards. You can purchase Drasanvi’s Hemp OIl Shower & Bath Gel here for £6.15 and the Rosehip Oil Body lotion here from £12.95.

Topp Box - A Monthly Subscription For Men

We are huge fans of the monthly subscription boxes at The Amazing Blog, but we know it can be hard to find the right one for you as the internet is awash with potential options. As great as it would be to subscribe to them all unless you have a bottomless pit of funds it’s a little fiscally unfeasible.  However, having spent a long time scouring the internet, we think we have found the Holy Grail for male subscription boxes, Topp Box. It’s the perfect blend of premium male beauty products and cosy accessories that will leave you feeling pampered and prepared. 

Each month Topp Box will send you an assorted box with 4-5 products selected to suit you and your needs. The boxes are filled with premium grooming and lifestyle products from top brands. The box we received contained a talc-free men’s body powder from Fromonda, an S5 Skincare Resilience Mask, a Henri Lloyd ocean Mineral Spray Sun Defence Cream, a Pits and Bits Rinse Free Body Wash, and a pair of delightful socks from TOPPSOCKS. It’s hard to choose a favourite item from the box, but we are especially fond of the sun cream which had an amazing scent. For only £16 a month it is a steal as the retail value of the box would come to over £40.00; four out of the five products were full size. 

This is the perfect way to treat yourself, it also makes a great gift, and with Christmas around the corner, it’s a fabulous present that keeps on giving. Click here to sign up to the subscription box of your dreams. 

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).

Sunflower Body Lotion - My Trusty

Moisturising is something that we should all be doing at least a day. As such it is imperative that we have an effective lotion. At The Amazing Blog, we have found that My Trusty Sunflower Body Lotion works wonders on all skin, but especially if you are prone to particularly dry skin. My Trusty is uniquely owned by Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust and will not only give you gorgeous skin, but all the profits go back to the NHS.

My Trusty Sunflower Body Lotion has been tested by dermatologists, it is lightweight and full of anti-oxidants. The key ingredient in the product is the sunflower oil, which is a natural way to keep your skin soft and smooth making it perfect for people with overly sensitive skin. What's more the lotion is also full of Vitamin E which is a staple skincare anti-oxidant for better looking and healthier skin, and is particularly effective on dry skin.

My Trusty understands that different people like to moisturise in different ways. There is a no fragrance option, a body butter or oil, and different sizes to suit your hydration needs.
