Green Cola

Staying green and eating well is of the utmost importance for all of us at The Amazing Blog, but our downfall is often the drinks we have. It’s so easy to forget about the chemicals and added sugar that exists in your favourite fizzy drink. Thankfully there is a new must-have drink to cure your cravings and be a healthy choice; Green Cola. 

With the delicious and refreshing taste of your favourite cola brand, Green Cola has no sugar, aspartame, phosphoric acid or preservatives. It is sweetened with Stevia, and even the caffeine is naturally sourced from green coffee beans. This drink is the result of years of work on behalf of the company. Beginning in 2012, they worked tirelessly with their developers and nutrition experts to remove the chemicals found in most low-calorie soft drinks. Their one rule was not to sacrifice on taste, and they have achieved it as Green Cola tastes no different from your usual diet cola drink. In fact, in 2015 Green Cola was awarded New Product of The Year in Greece, where it all began, and has become the healthier preferred drink chosen by millions all over the world. 

If this sounds like your new favourite drink, you can purchase a pack of 6 for £3.59 on your next Ocado order here or it's available on Amazon.co.uk.

Cold Q Natural Oral Spray

Every year during the winter season in the UK millions of people gets a cold or flu virus. It seems just inevitable when travelling on public transport surrounded by people coughing and sneezing.  At The Amazing Blog almost every one of us has suffered a cold or a cough this year and to think that it's only January!  Therefore the timing couldn't be better for us to try out  Cold Q natural Oral Spray.

Cold Q Oral Spray has produced a 100% natural oral spray formulated to help boost your immune system and combat colds and viral flu attacks. Chinese herbs are recognised around the world for their healing properties, and this Canadian brand decided to incorporate them into the spray formula. Key ingredients are: Angelica root (Bai Zhi ), qiang huo, chuan xiong, tan xiang, da zao, huang qi, cang zhu and sheng gan cao; these all work in synergy to reduce symptoms, ease chest pain, improve breathing, stimulate the immune system and act as anti-inflammatory and anti-viral.

The Cold Q Oral Spray is a real life saver, at Amazing PR we have to used it, and it worked wonders. Our Exec Editor went down with a heavy cold at Christmas and she religiously dosed up with this spray which she is convinced (1) contained the cold (2) speeded it up the healing and (3) stopped it spreading to her chest. It’s the powerful natural ingredients that make the oral spray so fast and effective, the product delivers what it promises. When used at the early stage of the infection you can be healed in a few days. For best results use at the first signs of symptoms, spray five times in your throat, three times a day. The spray tastes pleasant, is free from pesticides, heavy metals, preservatives and GMO. We rate it and this has now become a firm staple in our medicine cabinet. You can purchase the Cold Q oral spray here for $23.99 via Paypal.

Superberry Serum by Scienea

Superberry and Serum are two words we at The Amazing Blog love, so Scienea’s new Superberry Repair and Restore Face Serum rocketed to the top of our must wish list. We're always interested in brands like Scienea who are passionate about using only the finest natural ingredients to create great products that work. Even better if like Scienea, their products are manufactured in the UK and are clinically tested (but not on animals).

The Superberry Serum was full as skin nutrition as we thought it would be. It contains eleven clinically proven natural ingredients which helped to improve our skin’s elasticity as well as smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It is also anti-inflammatory and deeply penetrating boosting the skin's natural defences. The Superberry Serum contains acai berry, blackberry extract and primrose oil, so it is packed full of anti-oxidants. This means that not only will it smooth out wrinkles, but it will also make skin appear brighter and more hydrated. All of which make this mighty little bottle a winner in our eyes.
