INA Crystals

Here at The Amazing Blog we just love products that make us feel fresh and free from toxins. When we received a few products from INA Crystals to try, we were ecstatic to cleanse ourselves and truly give our skin a fresh start.

INA Crystals ever so kindly sent us White Gold Restoring Night Serum, White Gold Day Moisture Cream, and White Gold Radiant Skin Tonic. Each product could be used simply as a standalone, but collectively, the combination creates the immediate luxury of toned, refreshed, and rejuvenated skin.

All of the products from INA Crystals are free from parabens, synthetic solvents, and petro-chemicals, meaning we can slather them on to our heart’s content. The Radiant Skin Tonic contains White Gold Crystal Salt, and Allantoin, which improve the tone and texture of your skin. It can be used several ways, whether it is applied over makeup or stored in the fridge as a cooling agent. The Day Moisture Cream protects against photo-inflammation, DNA damage from UV rays, environmental oxidation and pollution. The Day Cream has a very light scent, avoiding distraction from the nose from any other scents you may have in your daily beauty routine. Finally, the Restoring Night Serum, also known as the “Caviar of Night Creams,” is filled with seaweed bio-peptides and Lola Implexa for maximum plumping of the skin and the removal of fine lines.

 Overall, INA Crystals’ products will tackle all of your pesty skin problems. If you want to try any of them out, they are available for purchase here with prices ranging from £26-£33.

BodyMe - Organic Super Mix

Do you ever feel like you are lacking the energy needed to make it through your long workday? We at The Amazing Blog can absolutely relate, and no one wants to deal with that 3’oclock crash. Luckily, BodyMe sent us both their Organic Super Energy and Organic Super Green mixes to try out, and they gave us just the extra boost we needed to get through the day!

These mixes are a synergistic and energy boosting blend of nature’s finest power foods. The powder includes 5 nutrients: baobab, guarana, maca, lucuma, and acai berry. The combination of all of the nutrients blended into a powder both gets the job done and tastes fabulous.

There is no set use for the BodyMe mixes, however if you are new to energy boosters, it may be best to start small and add the powder to a glass of water. Then, if you fall in love with the extra kick it provides like we did, you can start experimenting with your diet and add the powder to smoothies and juices.

BodyMe sources only the highest quality organic super foods and whole foods from around the world, which allows customers to easily incorporate highly nutritious goods into their daily diets. All of their products are certified organic as well. Overall, their mission is simple: to help people live a natural, healthy and uplifted life.

Ten Acre - Crisps

At The Amazing Blog office we truly enjoy snacking on the perfect crisp. But then again, who doesn’t? Ten Acre sent us a hugely generous hamper of their crisps, making our lunch break that much more enjoyable. No matter what kind of crisp your taste buds desire, this company can meet all of your salty cravings. Their flavours range from the standard plain salted crisps to sweet and sour, but what makes this brand so special is the lovely concept behind it.

Based on a fictional ‘Ten Acre’ village, each flavour has a story to tell. From ‘When Bombay Got Spicy’ to ‘The Adventures of Salt and Vinegar’ each product is thoughtfully put together to create a slightly surreal and delicious snack with its own back story.

Hand cooked and hand packed, these crisps are gluten, dairy and msg free. If you are looking for a fun and tasty snack, Ten Acre Crisps can be bought here.

Bedtime Stories

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to get out of the office and embark on new adventures. When the ‘Bedtime Stories’ press release hit our desks, we were so intrigued that we were ready to pack our PJ’s and explore.  

Now, don’t be fooled, ‘Bedtime Stories’ consists of far from your average list of slumber party fairytales. Hosted in interior designer David Carter’s house, 40 Winks in Stepney Green, the stories are mainly ghost based and are told by storytellers and actors in a specific, fantastic manner, acompanied by a a number of spectacular live musicans. If you are looking to take a break from the real world and truly escape from reality, this event is for you.

On October 15th is The Natural History of Ghosts, told from the best selling book by the author Roger Clarke. What makes this show so unique is that Clarke grew up in a haunted house, and became a ghost fan from the age of 14. On October 16th , Tales of Terror  follows with a comprise of two stories from MR James, the first acknowledged English master of the ghost story. November 19th sees the performance of Tales from the Chrysanthemum Kingdom, featuring an evening that will blend tales of old Japan, music and dance and offering a rare glimpse into a world that was closed to the West for almost 400 years. Finally, to bring a close to the seasons performances on December 10th the final performance of ‘Stories to Make you Weep’ will (as the name suggests), move you to tears as it brings to you Christmas stories from Scandinavia.

So, if you’re feeling adventures and eagar to put on your pyjamas, prepare yourself for a true treat! This event was voted the ’60 Best Things to Do in London. Tickets are £30, and include cocktails and nibbles. If you wish to book a performance, simply email reservations@40winks.org. Also take a look at David Carter’s beautiful house, and the venue for the performance at here.
