Golden Greens Expert Collagen Complex

The fear of ageing has women of all ages stressing about the way their skin looks. It’s hard not to feel under pressure when all media portrays is perfect skin. The good news is that you’re not alone. We at The Amazing Blog can completely relate. If you’re afraid of or want to get rid of ageing signs, Golden Greens Expert Collagen Complex will seriously be your new best friend.

As we age, the collagen and hyaluronic acid naturally produced in our bodies, which are essential in maintaining the elasticity and overall smoothness of the skin, start to decrease. Once we get to our fabulous thirties, our skin starts to lose 1-2% of collagen a year, resulting in visible wrinkles and fine lines. To help boost collagen and hyaluronic acid levels, Golden Greens Expert has expertly crafted an organic formula that will naturally give your body back the key nutrients it craves in order to keep your skin looking and feeling as beautiful and youthful on the outside as you feel on the inside. 

The Collagen Complex does not contain any artificial additives, preservatives, or sweeteners and is made up of sustainably sourced Naticol hydrolysed marine collagen and high strength hyaluronic acid. This is all mixed together with a blend of skin-loving ingredients like organic lucuma (a nutrient-rich superfood that makes it naturally sweet), blueberry and acerola powders. Not only does it combine plenty of antioxidants, but it also packs in organic Vitamin C, which aids normal skin functions and collagen development. In other words, your skin will love you for it.

It’s very straightforward to use and easy to take on the go. Just add about two teaspoons to your water, fruit juice, or even smoothies, and mix well. Added bonus? It’s Non-GMO, gluten, lactose, and soy free. Prevention is the best way to keep wrinkles at bay, while maintaining a youthful and glowing skin, so start sipping! The Golden Greens Expert Collagen Complex is available here for £17.99.

Organic Golden Turmeric by Golden Greens

The Amazing Blog has been a huge believer in the power of turmeric for many years, and as a result, we are continually looking for new ways to introduce this miracle ingredient into our diet. This is how we came across Organic Golden Turmeric from Golden Greens. We like to mix this with warm milk (preferably goat or soya) adding a teaspoon of Manuka honey - delicious!

Organic Golden Turmeric is a fantastic product to add to your superfood smoothies or turmeric latte, with its unique blend of organic ginger and black pepper to help with absorption and adding a little zing to the flavour. Turmeric is a natural source of curcumin which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Not forgetting that curcumin is also well-known as a natural painkiller and cox-2 inhibitor and has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is a natural treatment for arthritis. Drinking or eating it helps your body to absorb the curcumin quickly and efficiently so that the positive effects can take hold more effectively. Currently, turmeric is being studied for its potential ability to prevent Alzheimers and cancer. 

You can purchase the Golden Green’s Organic Golden Turmeric here for £12.99 This is an excellent way to get healthier and add flavour into your life.

Tigg's Sauces - perfect match

The Amazing Blog is all about bringing flavour back into people’s lives and in our humble opinion, a sure fire way to do this is to have Tiggs Sauces stocked in your cupboard. Winners of the The Great Taste Awards three years in a row, these sauces pack a powerful flavour punch and guarantee to liven up any meal.

Tiggs produce naturally colourful sauces that have incredibly versatile uses. They work excellently on salad, pizza, pasta, as a condiment or a marinade. The brand prides themselves on creating healthier and flavoursome alternatives to bring some excitement back to dinner time. They have five flavours available; Sweet Original, Bold Beetroot, Cool basil and Pea, Subtle Pepper and Mustard and Smokin’ Tomato and Chilli. Each flavour is delicious so it’s really hard to pick a favourite but we do love Cool Basil and Pea which perfectly balances both flavours. The sauce goes so well with salad or pasta meaning we could easily have it for lunch and dinner on the same day – which we certainly have done! You can purchase the sauces here from £4.50

Chocolate Honey and Salted Banoffee Mudds by The Hawkshead Relish

A little treat once in a while never hurts anyone and a delicious treat from our friends at The Hawkshead Relish Company is most certainly worth it. We here at The Amazing Blog are completely addicted to their new Chocolate Honey and Salted Banoffee Mudds. These two mouth-watering spreads will ravish your palate and help to satisfy your sugar cravings.

You don’t necessarily need to have a sweet tooth to appreciate the deliciousness of an excellent chocolate spread. The Hawkshead Relish Company have their new delicious Chocolate Honey and Salted Banoffee Mudd that will transform any boring and tasteless snack into a truly tasty one. The Chocolate Honey Mudd is made with 100% cocoa, English heather honey and caramel extracts. The combination of these rich and natural ingredients do indeed create a very appetising blend. Also for any banoffee lovers, you're going to adore the brand’s Salted Banoffee Mudd; this spread is again made with all natural ingredients which include golden syrup, double cream, fresh bananas and Anglesey Sea Salt. This is total temptation in a jar with it's sumptuously sweet and creamy blend.

These two products can be eaten in many different ways: on toasts, crumpets (our favourite way), on pancakes and waffles, or even on your morning porridge. Whatever suits you. We also used the Banoffee Mudd as a lastminute.com dessert, combining it with whipped cream and meringues, which we highly recommend. We must warn you though, once tried, you'll find it hard to look back from this moreish duo. If we've whetted your appetite to try these products, you'll find the Chocolate Honey Mudd  here for £4.99 and the Salted Banoffee Mudd which can be purchased here for £4.99.

Geosticks by Geobar

We love snacking at The Amazing Blog. It is our biggest vice, and although swimsuit season is a long way off, it’s all too easy to use layers to hide as our bodies turn into bears. While this may be cosier and on the whole a more enjoyable experience, it is, firstly, fooling no one and secondly makes swimsuit season all the more stressful as we battle against the results of our bad choices. To entirely avoid this we have decided to change our ways and make healthier snack choices. In our research, we found the delicious Rice, Lentil and Quinoa Geosticks from one of our favourite brands Geobar. The crisps come in three moreish flavours Sweet Chilli, Herby and Peppery. 

Each pack is gluten and dairy-free and contain Fairtrade rice from Thailand and Fairtrade quinoa from Peru.  No matter which flavour you choose the packet won’t exceed 91 calories. Making these not just an ethically right choice, but an excellent choice for your waist. We partularly loved the Sweet Chilli which had a subtle chilli/tomato/spice sauce flavour which came through on these delicious crunchy sticks. All three flavours are utterly addictive, and with their low-calorie content, you don’t have to feel guilty next snack time! 

You can purchase a Geosticks multi pack from Traidcraft here for £21.60. This will include 8 packets of each flavour which will certainly be enough to see you through the next month or two!
