FTN - Natural Energy Drinks

At times the work week can feel never-ending, especially on Mondays. Sometimes, here at The Amazing Blog we need a pick-me-up in our energy levels. We like to keep things awake in our office and when that is hard to do, we now reach for FTN’s Natural Energy Drinks. FTN sent us their tasty Natural Energy Drinks in Super Berry and Citrus flavours. The natural drinks contain a whole food blend of green tea, wild blueberry extract, vitamin d, amino acids, and organic blue-green micro-algae. These ingredients are combined into a refreshing little shot that helps in maintaining a healthy metabolism, promoting body maintenance and repair, as well as giving us needed proteins and micro-nutrients for overall well-being. Both flavours were good, as they both tasted like fruit juice and provided an energy boost soon after drinking, and didn't have any sort of after taste or strange flavours which always put us off other energy drinks. Their mini size meant we could all keep one in our bags to battle lack of energy on the go. They are also fully FDA and WADA approved, so we can all drink up without the fear of chemicals or unsafe stimulants.

For a subtle and delicious energy boost during your busy day stop by the FTN site and pick up a 1 month supply of the Citrus or the  Super Berry for £39.99.

Simon Copeland - Wardrobe Detox

Made an expensive mistake in Summer sales? Or perhaps you need help culling your exploding wardrobe? Well then look no further because we at The Amazing Blog have the answer to your prayers. Fashion Designer, Simon Copeland, with expert tailoring skill, will advise you on colour, style and fit, and you won't have to move from the comfort of your home. And if you need a little addition to make that jacket or dress really work, he can sort that too, with a wide range of outfits and separates designed exclusively for you.

A Wardrobe Detox Consultation lasts for two hours, with Simon coming to your home or office and going through your wardrobe, or indeed simply the pieces you wish to pull out for attention. There are three categories:

Current Season - the pieces you are wearing to their full potential, and therefore earning their place in your wardrobe.

Potential Tweaking - the pieces which may appear dated or even unwearable, but with a little adjustment, can be altered to become part of your Current Season Wardrobe.

Redundant Pieces - the outfits which have served their purpose, and which need to be sent to the recycling bin, and thus creating space in your wardrobe. He calls it CPR for your clothes!

 

The cost of the detox is £250, which covers the initial two hour consultation, and the alteration of one outfit which is undertaken by Simon's team, at his studio, and then returned to you. Further alterations can be arranged, and quoted for accordingly. For every friend you introduce to The Wardrobe Detox, and who books a consultation, you can claim a further free alteration. Further information, testimonials and details can be found at www.simoncopeland.com/detox. Simon can be contacted on 020 7924 1985 or the mobile 07768 760315. The mobile is better as Simon is always out and about dealing with troublesome wardrobes! Alternatively, you can email detox@simoncopeland.com or Simon directly on simon@simoncopeland.com. Our Executive Ed at TheAmazingBlog was very ebullient about her experience; she felt ‘totally cleansed’ and we’ve certainly seen her sporting some rocking remakes…

Nourish Kefir

Here at The Amazing Blog we love trying out new and exciting products. So when Nourish Kefir sent us some of their ‘miracle milk drink’ we couldn't wait to try it and start reaping the benefits.

Our first question, as I am sure is yours, was ‘what is Nourish Kefir?’ Nourish kefir is a milky/ yogurt type drink made from fermented milk that contains all types of amazing health benefits. When we tried the kefir, it had a slightly sour, yet creamy taste which was still refreshing. Kefir is full of natural positive bacteria that has many health benefits which develop during the fermentation process. I decided to try Nourish kefir after having depleted my immune system with a course of debilitating antibiotics used to treat a lingering chest infection.  Personally, I am not a cow's milk drinker so I used a sachet in a litre of goats’ milk, left it for a day to ferment and then returned to enjoy it. We all shared it as a plain drink (although its perfect for smoothies) however you can purchase flavoured kefir, or even flavour your own batch. It may seem strange and unusual but the extensive health benefits mean that kefir is worth getting to grips with. It boosts the immune system, offers 20% of the recommended days calcium,  is full of B vitamins and is 100% organic and sugar free. So, whether you’re big on organic products or looking to make a switch, kefir is a relatively new idea which can be added easily into the diet. We also like the fact that it can be tailored to individual lifestyles. Nourish kefir is a unique 'living food' that really does look after you from the inside out!

Nourish kefir is available here, from the only UK outlet with prices starting from £15.00 for 6 sachets of Nourish Kefir Starter Cultures.

PLENISH - Cleanse Juice

 

Do you ever find yourself searching for an easier alternative to fresh juice drinks? Our busy lifestyles here at The Amazing Blog  make it difficult to take the time to make our own, but we've found a solution!

PLENISH is a new organic raw cold pressed juice company designed to detoxify and energize the body with nutritious and delicious cold pressed juices. The juices are made using a “two step” method production process. The first step of the process is when the certified organic produce is cold pressed, and the second step uses a state of the art advanced process called HPP, high pressure processing  to keep the juice nutrient packed. The juice includes all of the natural enzymes, phytonutrients and vitamins necessary, and retains all of the product’s raw nutritional density. Because of this, it has an extended shelf life of up to 20 days! Also, PLENISH is free from wheat, gluten and all processed sugars and stabilizers. There are seven organic and unique flavors of juices and nut milks, depending on what function you want it to serve. The juices aim to bridge the gap between the fresh juice bar and functional drinks. Aside from drinking the juices as a stand alone beverage, PLENISH also offers 3 different levels of cleanses.
