At The Amazing Blog we find it hard to turn off our working minds and get a good night sleep. We always seem to wake groggy and reluctant for the day ahead. We have tried everything and nothing has helped us achieve our beauty sleep, that was before we found Dream After Dark Balm from Kiss The Moon.

Forget pills and infusions of weird and unpronounceable herbs, all you need to relax your senses and finally get the fairy-tale sleep is this little black jar.
The balm contains a mix of oils blended with shea butter which gives it a smooth and creamy texture; gently rub it onto your temples and wrists to activate the calming effect of lavender, bergamot, roman camomile and cedarwood .
We couldn’t help and had to try it, even if it was in the morning! How to describe the feeling of the peace and relaxation we felt afterwards?
We didn’t fall asleep but the balm increased our productivity, because when your mind is relaxed everything comes naturally and easy. Having a little sniff now and then at our wrists, it only helped us to pull out amazing ideas; it smells so good and we think its great power comes from its natural ingredients.
If you’d like to extend the After Dark Sleep balm effects bring it with you everywhere as it comes in a practical 12ml size, or get the bath oil from the same range.

The balm is available at £16 here where you can have a look at the entire collection. Be a Sleeping Beauty for once and cuddle yourself with the best night sleep you’ve ever had.

With a week to go until Christmas Day, it’s time to put some pep in your step and get that Christmas shopping done! If you're still looking for good ideas, here are a few products that have made my wish list this Christmas.

As anyone here in The Amazing Blog office will tell you, I’m always on the lookout for tan enhancing products. So it’s no surprise that first on my wish list this year is Prtty Peaushun’s Skin Tight Body Lotion. Not your conventional tanning product, the potion gives a beautiful golden sheen, and is far better than a lot of other products I’ve tried. The brand offers a few shades, dark being great for those who already indulge in a little fake tanning, and medium being a wonderful way to give a fabulous sheen to a paler complexion. It would be the perfect addition to any tan lover’s Christmas list. Prtty Peaushun is available to buy here for £30.

I love Christmas food, but there are some dishes that are a little too much. A serving of Christmas Pudding at the end of the meal, although delicious, is a little too rich for my liking. If you want something a little lighter, and slightly unconventional, then I’d definitely recommend looking at Patisserie Maison by Richard Bertinet. The recipe book is filled with the most delicate cakes and snacks, great for entertaining all year round. With a particularly delicious looking Lemon Trifle recipe that’s sure to impress this Christmas, it’s the ideal gift for any culinary fans, and has made its way on to my wish list. You can buy the book here for £13.60.

Whilst on the topic of food, one of the things I associate with Christmas is the beautiful citrusy scent of oranges. So when I got a sniff of the Nourish Protect Duo, I knew it would make a fabulous gift for Christmas time. Organic and cruelty free, the gift set contains an Uplifting Shower Gel, as well as a Nutri-Rich Body Butter. As dry skin is a common problem during the festive season, the inclusion of omega rich Shea Butter, Hyaluronic Acid and collagen enriched Vitamin C make this lovely gift set a godsend to see nestled under the tree. The set is available to buy here for £25.

After all of the excitement of a hectic day, I always struggle to doze off come Christmas Eve, so Kiss The Moon's Love After Dark Gift Set is a welcome addition to my wish list. A combination of Rose, Frankincense and Ylang Ylang, the soothing ingredients help you to drift off into a peaceful night’s sleep. The beautifully packaged products also promote cell renewal, so I can wake up on Christmas Day looking young, fresh and ready to greet the festivities. ‘Sleep Beautifully’ and buy the gift set here for £82.

Of course, despite a restful night’s sleep, Christmas Day is no excuse to not look bronzed and glowing, so Crazy Angel is also making an appearance on my Christmas list this year. The brand’s Bronze Desire Instant Airbrush Self-Tan is perfect for giving a quick and easy glow, which develops as the day goes on, so by the time Christmas Dinner is served, you’ll be looking as angelic as Christmas expects. The 360 spray can prove a little messy, so I tend to spray it onto a mitt to apply, giving me moisturising and even coverage for the holiday season. Get the Self-Tan here for £14.99.
