Darjeeling Reed Diffuser - T London

Here at The Amazing Blog, we truly believe that a clean and calming environment promotes productivity and general wellbeing. We love to use products that make our homes more welcoming and positive environments. Our office has recently embraced a new room fragrance in the form of a reed diffuser by T London.

T London’s aromatic fragrances are inspired by traditional blends of tea. The one we’ve been loving is a blend called Darjeeling, frequently referred to as the “champagne” of teas. The scent brings optimism into the room with aromatic oils of zesty lemongrass, a twist of citrus and spiced nutmeg that is layered over black tea. The elegant glass bottle also makes for a lovely decorative piece in your home! T London also offers refills for reed diffusers, so when needed, you can easily replenish it.

Stojo Collapsible Cup

Here at The Amazing Blog, we live very busy lives. More often than not, we are taking our things on-the-go and running out the door. For times like these, it’s very important to us to have things that are functional and practical at the same time. For this reason, we were extremely excited when our good friends at Bear & Bear sent us the Stojo Collapsible Cup.

This cup is designed to eliminate waste from disposable coffee cups while being super-compact and portable. The unique design allows for the silicone body of the cup to collapse down to a two-inch disc that can be stowed in your bag or your pocket when you’re busy being busy. The rigid lid is leak-proof and the cup also features a rigid thermal sleeve that slides onto the body of the cup when in use and slots into the bottom of the collapsed cup when not in use. It’s also microwave and dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean!

If you’re trying to eliminate excess waste from disposable cups, try out this nifty travel cup here for £15.
