Sea Creatures: Life Beneath the Ocean

We are always searching for new and exciting events happening in London, especially those where the whole family can partake. If you’re interested in marine life and the creatures that inhabit our oceans, then dive into Sea Creatures: Life Beneath the Ocean’s immersive experience. The exhibition is making its first European debut this summer, and The Amazing Blog is eager to grab tickets.

With 200 exhibits of 50 full body and 150 body parts of ethically-sourced specimens, visitors learn about marine life and conservation through various tactile approaches. While exploring the anatomy of the sea creatures, the exhibit offers a digital interactive experience for children, virtual reality installations and a mini cinema. The exhibition creates a narrative around sea life that engages its visitors in environmental awareness, through its interesting visuals. This will also be the first time that Hai Hai, the world record-breaking Minke whale will make its way to London.

Before the exhibition’s tour to four UK cities, the London exhibition will open on 27th July until the end of August, at Royal Horticulture Halls, Lawrence Halls. The exhibit is open from 10:00-18:00, with extended hours on Thursdays. Tickets are £18 for adults, £12 for children, or £52 for families (which include tickets for two adults and two children, or one adult and three children). It’s recommended to take public transportation as there isn’t available parking at or near the venue.

Juna

Here at The Amazing Blog we're never without a drink in our hands, non-alcoholic of course. It may be water, tea, or even the occasional fizzy drink. However, one thing we can't get enough of is juice - orange, apple, cranberry, you name it, we drink it. So when we came across Juna fruit juices we jumped at the chance to try the 'new generation' of juice.

Juna fruit juices are the 'new generation' of juices because of their unique flavours and being 100% natural and free from preservatives. Juna has 4 juices: Guanabana, Lulo, Mango, and Mora - all equally scrumptious and equally as good for you. High in vitamins, protein and fibre, the health benefits from drinking Juna alone are enough to make you pick up a bottle! Let me tell you, these juices are unlike anything you've ever tasted, you feel like you're in a tropical paradise sipping on juice straight from the fruit. You may think you've tasted tropical juices before, but none are as delicious as Juna. Juna is committed to making sure their company is sustainable, the bottles are recyclable and even the labels are made from fully biodegradable materials. The only flaw of Juna juices is that they're not a widely available as other mainstream juices, I'd buy them in bulk if I could!

These healthy, delicious, and exotic juices are definitely not a beverage to be missed! Have a look on their website to find somewhere close to you that sells Juna.

Topshop "Reclaim To Wear"

I think it's pretty safe to say that most of us want to do our bit for the environment. Whether it's using recycled paper in your printer, making sure to separate your rubbish or using a bag-for-life on your food shop, we're all pretty conscious of being good to our planet. So in the spirit of recycling and a love of fashion, Topshop has teamed up with Reclaim To Wear to create an "upcycled" collection that launches today.

The whole collection is produced from discarded materials, such as surplus stock and production off-cuts.The collection consists of 8 pieces, and includes blouses, dresses, sweatshirts, shorts and jeans. Even if you're not a regular shopper at Topshop you'll be sure to find one of these quirky pieces appealing. The collection is one of many collaborations which hope to increase sustainability in the fashion industry, and there are sure to be more brands following suit.

Reclaim to Wear was the brainchild of Orsola De Castro and Fillippo Ricci, who started the eco-fashion label From Somewhere. They saw textile waste as a big problem, and since 1997 they have been teaming up with designers and retailers to create collections using these discarded materials. Their initiative is helping reduce mainstream wastage by working alongside it.

I normally don't need a reason to shop, but if you do, helping the environment is as good as any! The range launches today and is available in store and on Topshop's website.
