Lemongrass Verbena Candle – Corpo Sancto

With the Summer making its way out, here at The Amazing Blog we still cling to fresh and citrusy scents before we say our final "goodbye" to this warm weather. So this week at the office we have been burning the Lemongrass Verbena candle from Corpo Sancto to keep the Summer vibe going.

This handmade candle is made in Brighton and brings together the fragrances of Lemongrass and Lemon Verbena flowers, delivering a flawless fresh scent with a herbaceous base. It is part of a range of 11 different scents, perfect for all tastes. The uniqueness of the candle is given by its design: it has a thick wood wick down the centre for a longer burn and constant aromas. To get the most out of your candle, keep the wick cut to 5mm and always let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar before blowing out. All Corpo Sancto candles are 100% natural and made with artisan rapeseed wax making them environmentally friendly. 

Bring the last bit of Summer essence into your home with the Lemongrass Verbena candle for £14 here or choose your favourite scent here.

Organic Sprouted Gaba Rice Black and Organic Sprouted Gaba Rice Jasmine - Minvita

Here at the Amazing Blog, it is no secret we like to promote a healthy lifestyle among our readers.  We recently discovered Minvita, a company dedicated to researching and sourcing 100% natural products, including both healthy food and beauty products, just perfect for us.

We were lucky enough to receive and try two packages of their unique Gaba rice range: the Gaba Rice Black , made of wholegrain black hommin rice, and the Gaba Rice Jasmine, brown rice made from Thai jasmine wholegrain from which they also have a germinating in Green Tea variation that enhances the properties of the rice even more. Minvita recommends staying clear from manufactured products when a natural, organic alternative is available and we completely agree. Their Organic Sprouted Gaba rice is made from the finest quality of organic wholegrain rice which is naturally germinated before milling.  Minvita's rice is 100% natural and organic and it is also high in iron, fibre and a great source of vitamin B1.
