Lily of the Valley Bathing Flowers – Heathcote & Ivory

Having a bad day? Need to relax? After a long day at work the best way to relax is to treat yourself. We at the Amazing Blog think that personal wellbeing is of the utmost importance, which is why we were very happy when we had the chance to try the Lily of the Valley bathing flowers by Heathcote & Ivory.

Perfect for the summer, the Lily of the Valley fragrance of the bathing flowers gives a sweet fresh scent. Close your eyes as you bathe and it will give you the impression that you are in a woodland glade! In addition to the captivating floral-scent, these bathing flowers add a touch of colour to your bath with their decorative design of delicate soap flowers. Now that you, like us, have fallen in love with the prospect, you’ll want to know how to use it! Tear 5-6 petals from a flower and put it under warm water. You can also try mixing the petals of different flowers together to make your own scent.

Sun Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair & Prodigieux Body Lotion - Nuxe

It’s no secret that we at The Amazing Blog have certainly been wooed by the French-made brand, Nuxe. So naturally, we couldn’t resist testing their new products, launched specially for this summer: the Prodigieux Body Lotion and the Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair.

We already wrote reviews for their products, Prodigieux Le Parfum and the Dry Oil (find them here), and decided to complete the set with another product derived from this range: the Beautifying Scented Body Lotion. Just in time for summer, the body lotion blended with botanicals oils, will leave your skin glowing whilst deeply moisturising it after some fun in the sun. Apply it in the morning to energize your skin or at night to beautify your tan and always to enjoy the exquisite fragrance of the Prodigieux perfume! The second product that was launched is the Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair. Blended with sun and water flowers, the milky oil will hydrate your hair as well as protect it from UV rays, salt, chlorine, and other elements that attack and damage hair during the summer months. You can apply the oil on wet or dry hair, before and during its exposure to the sun, in order, to maximise the effects and enhance your colour.

Get ready to bathe in the sun with the Prodigieux Body Lotion here for £16.50 and Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair here for £12.

Raw Health Snacks – Saf Raw

Here at The Amazing Blog, once it gets to 3pm we often find ourselves reaching for a snack. However, we also want to maintain our healthy lifestyle goals. That is why we loved it when we got the opportunity to try the healthy snacks from Saf Life that provide more than the usual afternoon pick-me-up.

Saf Life’s Saf Raw range has been developed upon the philosophy of ‘Eat Pure and Nourish Your Life’. That is why all of their snacks are raw, created at a maximum of 46 degrees to retain the nutrients of all the natural ingredients.  We were lucky enough to try the Cereal Bites, Fruity Coconut Pastilles, Activated Crackers and Coconut Chips, with our favourite being the Activated Crackers for a crunchy savoury snack to satisfy our office munchies. Free from gluten, dairy and soy, and high in fibre, these little morsels are the perfect guilt-free snack.  

Try the Saf Raw range for yourself, with all products available online at Planet Organic from £2.49.

Almond and Cherry Body Milk and Shower Gel – Korres

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to treat our skin to luxuriously scented, natural body products. That is why we love Korres’ Almond Cherry Showergel and Body Milk: the perfect pair to result in skin that is soft and sweet smelling.

Both products from Korres are developed from natural ingredients and are free of parabens, mineral oils and other nasties often found in skin care products. The Almond Cherry Showergel is enriched with wheat-proteins, to maintain skin health and hydration, and Althea extract, to soothe dry and irritated skin. Use in the shower on wet skin to develop a creamy lather before washing off, ready to follow with the Body Milk. The Almond Cherry Body Milk containing Almond oil, Aloe and provitamin B, moisturises and increases skin elasticity, leaving skin feeling smooth. The packaging features gorgeous designs in rich cherry red and cream, alluding to the luxury and quality of the product inside.
