Cocoa Glow - Chocolate Sun

It’s clear that here at The Amazing Blog, we love our fake tanning products. We have featured more than our fair share of our favourites, but we’re always on the lookout for new products that are more natural and better for our bodies.

Cocoa Glow by Chocolate Sun is the very first all-natural organic fake tanning product. Fresh from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Cocoa Sun contains a skin tinting agent called DHA that’s derived from beets. The all-natural glow develops five to seven hours after application and lasts seven to ten days. The ultra-moisturising formulation includes ingredients like aloe, coconut oil, shea butter, and sweet almond oil, blended with potent antioxidants from green tea and cocoa bean extracts. To use, first exfoliate the skin and then apply the deliciously cocoa-scented product in circular motions while avoiding tricky bits like knees and ankles. Just wash your hands afterwards to prevent sun tan hands, and you’ll be good to glow!

The Personal Barber

Here at The Amazing Blog, we believe that men deserve their very own pampering products. We constantly hear the men in our lives complain about the hassle of shaving, so we’ve found the perfect gift for them to make that task a little bit easier.

The Personal Barber is a subscription service that turns a daily chore into the ultimate shaving experience. Every month, a box of hand-picked choices of the best shaving products are delivered right to your door! The Personal Barber sends products that are in line with traditional wet shaving, so the first month’s box includes a safety razor, a shaving brush, soap, blades, and a step-by-step guide. To keep things interesting, entirely new soaps, blades, and pre/post shave products are sent from the second month onward. In our box we received the safety razor, the shaving brush, blades, Musgo Real Crème de Barbear Classic Scented Shaving Cream, and a Para Mi Natural Shaving Oil. Both have a delicately masculine scent that we love! We think this service is incredible because the safety razor and brush are guaranteed for life, and it cuts the hassle out of having to buy replacement shaving products at the last minute.

The boxes are available on a month-to-month, 3 month, 6 month, or yearly subscription basis. On a Month-to-Month basis the boxes cost £24.95 including delivery, and you can save over 28% by subscribing for a longer period of time. Check out all of the options here.

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.
