Bee's Wrap - Sustainable Food Storage

Here at The Amazing Blog we are always looking for healthy, natural products when it comes to beauty, but we're always pleased when we can take this ethos into the kitchen. Plastic clingfilm is a firm staple in most homes, but the all-natural Bee’s Wrap is set to change that. No one knows what harm the chemicals plastic wraps contain can do, and so we were excited to find a natural alternative to keep our food fresh.

The design of the Bee’s Wrap is such a thoughtful idea. The wax coating the cloth softens and moulds around the food or bowl, keeping it airtight - there’s even a cute wooden toggle and string to add extra security. The wrap itself is made from totally organic muslin cloth, and then steeped in Beeswax, Jojoba Oil and Tree Resin. Although this may sound like an odd concoction, it ensures the wrap is malleable, water resistant, airtight, anti-bacterial and reusable. There is no denying the effectiveness and usefulness of this product; lunchboxes will never be the same again.

The wrap is decorated with a honeycomb print, and the toggle is stamped with an image of a bee, to keep in line with the ingredients used to make it. It holds quite a potent scent which fades over time, but we loved that it had a hint of honey. It gave us a satisfied feeling that we were using something natural and chemical free. Every little helps in our opinion. The wraps are available in three different sizes, as well as specialised sandwich and bread wraps. Join those of us who have ditched the clingfilm for a natural alternative, get your Bee’s Wrap here for £14.95 (Assorted sizes), £11.95 (Bread) and £8.95 (Sandwich). 

Misfortune Cookies

Halloween is upon us, so here at The Amazing Blog we have some grown-up fun to spook up your Saturday. Prezzybox have brought us the delectable yet devilish Misfortune Cookies, not to be confused with their charming counterpart, these cookies bite back! Prepare yourself for the fright of brutally honest, pessimistic and crude responses.

Misfortune Cookies are the daring delights that every table needs this Halloween, each packet is adorned with a ghoulish character. But the worst part to this ghastly treat is yet to come, beneath the soulless black cookie lies a fortune that won’t leave you jumping for joy. But rather heading out the door in shame. Although the cookie is delightfully crisp and sweet, the misfortune can be hard to swallow. Each box contains 13 cookies, suitably unlucky for those who dare to take one. We love this unique idea for a frightful but fun filled Halloween dinner gift - it will surely provide plenty of laughs and entertainment this October. This tricky treat is one for the adults too, proving you’re never too old to enjoy the hellish holiday.

This eerie edible paired with wickedly witty packaging is available on Prezzybox for a mere £11.95. Give your unwitting guests a ghastly night to remember.    

Kuhn Rikon - Avocado Knife

Avocado is hailed as a certified fit food. It’s packed with important nutrients and essential fats, and adds excitement to any meal. Here at The Amazing Blog we love avocado almost as much as we love beauty, but we often find it tricky getting that creamy goodness out without making a terrible mess. However, Kuhn Rikon have changed that pesky preparation with their innovative new Avocado Knife.

The Avocado Knife has a flexible, preformed blade and corer to make it far easier to peel and remove the stone. There will also be no wasted food left on the knife with its non-stick coating to glide straight through the avocado. We had the opportunity to try it out; we loved how comfortable the ergonomic handle was and the clever thought behind the avocado shape. If you find yourself using the fruit often, then you can cut preparation time in half with this handy tool. Check out Kuhn Rikon's video to see the knife in action. It’s a fairly small product that would fit perfectly in your cutlery draw, or suspended using the hole in the handle. And thankfully there are no awkward care requirements; we put it in the dishwasher with the rest of the cutlery with no problem.

If you would like this useful, fuss-free Avocado Knife, get your own one here for £11.95.

Rebel Kitchen - Coconut Mylks

Coconut has emerged as a new super food that appears in food and beauty products. Here at The Amazing Blog, we have benefitted from refreshing coconut water and the hydrating powers of coconut oil. Rebel Kitchen has now caught our attention with their range of Coconut Mylks.

Rebel Kitchen goes back to basics with simple and natural ingredients, thankfully without the use of additives and preservatives. Finally we know exactly what we are putting into our body, rather than trying to decipher the cryptic ingredients.

We loved that the range of flavours adhered to our cravings, in particular the Chocolate and Coffee Mylks. Chocoholics and Caffeine Addicts alike will love this healthy, dairy free alternative.

While adults can enjoy the Chocolate, Coffee, Matcha Green Tea and Chai flavours, Rebel Kitchen have included a children’s range that will satisfy any young sweet tooth. Snack time will never be the same again! Kids have a choice between Chocolate, Banana and Orange Chocolate flavour, each of which is personified on the packaging in the form of a foodie character.
