Everyone is jumping aboard the Turmeric bandwagon, due to its amazing health benefits, and we here at The Amazing Blog think incorporating it into a latte is the perfect way. Turmerlicious has created a range of delicious instant turmeric lattes and we were lucky enough to try the Ginger, the Choco, the Vanilla and the Chilli Choc.

This wonder spice has been renowned for its healing abilities for over 4000 years. So much so, the Sanskrit translations for turmeric is ‘one that wins over diseases’. Even science says so, and in the last 30 years there have been over 6000 peer reviewed publications supporting the benefits of Turmeric. Turmeric is hailed for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and is said to be beneficial in reducing heart disease, cancer, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s and more. Add this goodness into a delicious drink, and you have a winning combination.

All of the powders are caffeine-free and are a combination of natural ingredients; turmeric, coconut, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper. This aromatic blend of spices create a soothing and delicious hot drink, and all you need to do is add three teaspoons of the mix to hot water. This gem of a product is ideal if you are trying to cut down on your caffeine intake. Just replace one of your cups of coffee a day to Turmerlicious and you’ll be left happy and healthy!

Primal Goddess - Planet Paleo

We love an effective supplement here at The Amazing Blog, especially one that tastes good! So when we tried Planet Paleo's new supplement powder called Primal Goddess, we had to tell you all about it! This product contains pure raised bovine collagen plus a carefully selected blend of synergistic primal herbs and co-active nutrients!

The product has a formula specifically designed to work miracles on hair, skin and nails! Containing high levels of Zinc, Primal Goddess helps aid the skin with the production of collagen and keratin. It also boosts the body with necessary antioxidants from rich berries, such as schizandra and goji. On top of all this, it is an excellent source for that much sort after skin favourites like biotin and hyaluronic acid!

Simply take 1/1.5 scoops a day with food by mixing it into 200ml of juice, or even just water – the powder tastes so good that it’s perfectly pleasant on its own! It is recommended though that you drink at least 2 litres of water a day when taking this supplement, due to the hyaluronic acid it contains. Staying well hydrated is a known way to help keep skin healthy and youthful, so the added boost in your daily intake is most definitely a help instead of a hindrance!

Once again, here we are buzzing about another wonderful bee product. As you know, we here at The Amazing Blog are passionate about bringing awareness to a growing issue in the UK; our native bee population is on the decline and that can be detrimental to our future generations. Therefore, we are always excited to bring to you products that are made with bees in mind that give your skin that sweet, honey love.b2 Performance Skinwear is a British company that merges Buddhist inspired apothecary with scientific research using ingredients from ‘Earth, Sea and Bee' realms all the while  staying paraben and toxin-free.

We were lucky to try the b2 Sknrg Enzyme Daily Essentials Trio Mid Kit and this wonderful kit includes three products: AHA & Enzyme Cleansing Melt, Enzyme & AHA Toner and M+Collagen Day Cream. The treatment has anti-wrinkle properties as well as helps reduce skin irregularities (like scarring, pigmentation and pore size) and can improve skin tone and texture without leaving your skin dry. Whether you are trying to minimise wrinkles or prevent them, the treatment works well at renewing your skin to give it a youthful and healthy appearance.

The creators of the b2 line, husband and wife duo, Robert and Deborah Scott along with their team of researchers created this product with all natural and organic ingredients such as antioxidant packed seaweed, fruit enzymes, Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA). In order to ensure that their ingredients remain as organic and toxin-free, b2 follow organic farming standards when cultivating the plant extracts used in their products. The bee ingredients they use include seasoned honey, pollen and beeswax.  These ingredients are cultivated from the b2 apiaries housing various bees, but most importantly our native black honeybee.  b2  Sknrg  Enzyme  Daily  Essentials  Trio  Mid Kit is available here  for £39.50.

Daokrajai Lanna Fine Teas

As we’ve said many times before on The Amazing Blog, we’re lovers of a good cup of tea. The chances of reviewing tea on our beloved blog have been very few, so when we had the chance of tasting (and testing) Daokrajai Lanna Fine Teas, we were beyond excited.

Daokrajai Lanna Fine Teas are all natural, organic, full leaf teas picked, processed and packaged by hand at a single tea farm in Northern Thailand. Their range of teas is wide – any tea lover will easily find a delicious tea of their taste: Red, Green Oolong and Herbal teas.

Daokrajai Lanna’s Red tea is fully oxidised, its unique color is the result of the unique cross of different cultivars. Their (amazing) Green tea is processed in the tradicional manner, providing a gentle taste and aroma, with added Peppermint, Jasmine and Moringa. Oolong, the richest of teas is luxurious and sophisticated. Finally, their Herbal teas which are true infusions of natural herbs.

My favourite tea has to be the Moringa Green Tea. Green tea is a natural anioxidant that helps keeping your skin healthy... perfect for those days when my skin is feeling temperamental. Moringa contains more than 90 nutrients and provides more Vitamin A and C, calcium, potassium and iron  than the most popular fruits, vegetables and milk. Edwina is a known lover of Oolong teas, so let's just say that there's no Oolong tea left for the rest of the office...

The Amazing Blog has absolutely loved Daokrajai Lanna Fine Teas. Their quality is spectacular and their wide range of luxurious teas is remarkable. For a list of stockists, visit their website.

KORRES Bath and Body Collection

I am always looking for new lines of body care products that moisturize and cleanse my skin but also smell fresh too! There are so many products out there to choose from so how can you possibly decide which ones are best for you? We at The Amazing Blog love the Korres brand, especially their new Fragrance Body Care Collection.

Our favourite body care product from this new collection is the White Tea, Bergamot, and Freesia Body Milk and Shower Gel. Both products include ingredients with vitamins and minerals that help hydrate your skin keeping it feeling fresh and energized. The White Tea, Bergamot, and Freesia Body Milk is the perfect body lotion for those living a fast paced lifestyle. It is light and moisturizes into your skin easily which is great when on-the-go. We absolutely love the airiness of this product. It not only feels great on your skin, but also moisturizes it deeply. The combination of provitamin B5, Shea Butter, and Jojoba oil enhances skin suppleness, while also providing long-lasting hydration. Other ingredients such as vitamin C and E, Zinc, and Antioxidant Enzymes enhance the skin’s immune system. The Shower Gel is also amazing and great for everyday use. The synthesis is based on Wheat Proteins, which form a protective film on the skin, maintaining its regular hydration level. Both of these products are great and smell fabulous.

The Shower Gels retails for £9.00 and the Body Milks retail for £10.00. The new Korres collection can be purchased on Oliver Bonas, Feel Unique, Asos, and Bath and Unwind online. We love Korres and their natural approach to beauty!
