Christmas Appeal 2023 “Raise for Resilience”

Wishing all our readers Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 & Happy New Year 🥳

This year, we’re supporting
Seed Madagascar & we hope you’ll join us in supporting them, too.

SEED is an award-winning UK-registered charity and a Malagasy NGO. Their name is an acronym for SUSTAINABLE, ENVIRONMENT, EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT.

Having recently returned from
#fortdauphinin #madagascar & seen all the great works that they do, we want to help raise their profile for the Christmas Appeal 2023 “Raise for Resilience.”


Southeast Madagascar is a beautiful part of the country with the most incredible and unique wildlife (see photos from my trip above and below ), but it’s also extremely poor. This is where SEED works tirelessly with the local people to implement sustainable development & solutions, conservation and community work.


They also have an Etsy store:
“Stitchsainteluce”, where we bought the most beautiful hand-embroidered cushions. Plus there are other embroidered textiles, which include placemats, purses, and many more.

Please see the link on the charity’s Instagram or Facebook

Thank you so much for your support 😘 Even a small donation will help to make a huge difference 🙏🏻

FiiLit – Parfum du Voyage

As we were discussing here at The Amazing Blog, perfumes are an expression of ourselves, they tell a story and reveal a few of our personality traits. We all love to smell enticing, wafting into a room with some delicious fragrance or other. In fact, some of us can’t leave home without a spritz of our favourite fragrance! We find particularly when flying, security can present a bit of a problem as we’re not able to take 100ml+ bottles in hand luggage. FiiLit has the answer, with their travel-friendly ‘Perfume Sample Set’. These are ideal for slipping into a pocket or small bag and can literally be taken everywhere. FiiLit perfumes are not only perfect for travelling but they will also take you on an olfactory journey around the world. Each fragrance is inspired by the country from where the natural ingredients are sourced.

FiiLiT, from the Anglicism ‘Feel It’ was founded by Regis and Eloi, who are two scent enthusiasts who have created a range of perfumes that remind them of their nomadic worldwide travels. Apart from creating fragrant memories from different cultures and communities, they also wanted these elixirs to be good for the skin and the planet. FiiLit perfumes are vegan and made with a range between 87% to 100% of only natural ingredients. They have partnered with Stéphane Piquart's company BeHave to source their base ingredients and essential oils. BeHave works with multiple NGOs to get the ideal balance between quality ingredients and giving back to the communities.

The FiiLiT’s ‘Perfume Sample Set has 9 different eco-friendly Eau de Parfum fragrances, each represents a country or region. So why not indulge your senses and take off on your travels with some of our favourites: TUMBAO - CUBA a zesty touch with lime, blue ginger, cardamom, tobacco and rum perfume; or dip your feet in Polynesian waters with TEHANI - POLYNESIE the aroma of santal tanzani, tiare, citrus cocoa, ylang-ylang and patchouli. Perhaps immerse yourself in the Amazonian jungle with SAUDADE - AMAZONIA while smelling passionflower and fruit, guaiac wood, cabreuva tonka and balsam of Peru. Or take the opportunity to relax with the aphrodisiac scent of ylang-ylang, marigold, ravintsara, geranium, vanilla, and cinnamon from the land of Madagascar with WAKA - MADAGASCAR.

Have we piqued your interest? Then do try the others in the Sample Set which are inspired by Bali, Japan, Cyclades, Provence or Babylonia. To get your FiiLiT ‘Perfume Sample Set’ see here for £8.10. Once you’ve found your fragrance, why not upgrade to the 50 or 100ml bottle starting from £53.10 here. Then once you have run out, simply buy your refills here. Perfect!
