Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice and Gel

Here at The Amazing Blog  we are very impressed with the  Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice and Gel. Along with their patent pending Aloesorb technology, this aloe juice packs a seriously healthy punch with some of the highest molecular weighted polysaccharides (carbohydrates), which translates to a better quality of aloe juice for your body.

Aloe Vera was known as the plant of immortality by the Egyptians over 6,000 years ago and now thanks to Lily of the Desert we are able to have top notch Aloe Vera Juice and Gel to add to our smoothies and cocktails or to have alone. The juice and the gel both have a slightly sweet taste that is lovely on its own and will blend seamlessly into any drink or cocktail you might add it to.

The Aloe Vera Juice and Gel has tons of uses and we love a product that is multipurpose and healthy at the same time. Aloe Vera Juice and Gel are good for the skin, good internally, as well as good for overall health and wellness. Check out some of the delicious drink recipes here. We particularly love the Watermelon Ginger spritzer recipe:

2 ounces Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Juice

4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed

2 inches fresh ginger, peeled

agave nectar, to taste

chilled seltzer water

Directions: (Serves 4) Blend watermelon and ginger; strain pulp out. Mix with Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera juice and pour over ice. Top with chilled seltzer water and enjoy!

PLENISH - Cleanse Juice

 

Do you ever find yourself searching for an easier alternative to fresh juice drinks? Our busy lifestyles here at The Amazing Blog  make it difficult to take the time to make our own, but we've found a solution!

PLENISH is a new organic raw cold pressed juice company designed to detoxify and energize the body with nutritious and delicious cold pressed juices. The juices are made using a “two step” method production process. The first step of the process is when the certified organic produce is cold pressed, and the second step uses a state of the art advanced process called HPP, high pressure processing  to keep the juice nutrient packed. The juice includes all of the natural enzymes, phytonutrients and vitamins necessary, and retains all of the product’s raw nutritional density. Because of this, it has an extended shelf life of up to 20 days! Also, PLENISH is free from wheat, gluten and all processed sugars and stabilizers. There are seven organic and unique flavors of juices and nut milks, depending on what function you want it to serve. The juices aim to bridge the gap between the fresh juice bar and functional drinks. Aside from drinking the juices as a stand alone beverage, PLENISH also offers 3 different levels of cleanses.

Yours Truly Cosmetics

Here at The Amazing Blog, we obviously love beauty products, but we love them even more if they have an inspirational story behind them. Kelita Bignall, the director of Yours Truly Cosmetics devoted her time to learning the science behind skincare to help overcome her own skin problems and after realising the benefits she had, decided to share her secret with the rest of the world.

The range follows a ‘cleanse, tone, repair pattern’, which takes care of every aspect of the skincare regime. Priding itself on being organic yet offering the same results as prescription strength skincare products, Yours Truly are a pleasure to use. The ‘Take it away!’ cleanser is enriched in vitamin C, which gives your skin a citrusy boost whilst the Sandalwood removes impurities without the harshness of some man made, clinical remedies. The cleanser is followed by the ‘Balancing Toner', which acts as a in between step before moisturising. It’s designed to restore the skins optimal PH using Witch Hazel and Avena Sativa (a common type of oat) to smooth the skin before the moistur. The 'Face Base Face Balm' moisturiser, which contains Daisy extracts for a brightening effect and pea extract for improved elasticity, is the last step in the process promised to combat problem skin and create the clear, beautiful skin we all lust for.

They’re also 100% animal cruelty free, if you need another reason to give them a go!

Truly Yours full product range is available here through their website.

Don't Bite Me! Patch

With the beautiful weather of summer comes the dreaded time of mosquitos. At The Amazing Blog, we have a pretty dim relationship with bugs. That is why we were glad to find the Don’t Bite Me! all natural patches. This summer, us girls over at The Amazing Blog will no longer be slathering ourselves with smelly bug lotions or sprays; we will just slap on this clear, waterproof patch and go on about our days.

The Don’t Bite Me! patch has only 2 ingredients: Aloe and Vitamin B1. When the Vitamin B is metabolized in the body, it reduces the odours that attract bugs. Unlike other products, this one works within our bodies to deter insects, not repel them. It needs to be applied 2 hours before going outside, and lasts for 36 hours.

Luckily we were not in buggy zones for that long, but we did notice an awesome lack of bites after our night out in the garden. The patch is safe for children, so imagine not having to further chase the little ones around to reapply bug spray every couple of hours! It is a really simple product that has good results, so don't wait until you are already covered in bites to go out and pick it up.

Check out the Don’t Bite Me! website for the list of stockists here or grab them from online here for £9.99.
