Craft Club Box

Here at The Amazing Blog we love crafting—but sometimes we find that we don’t have the time or patience to gather ideas and all of the supplies for new projects. Luckily, Craft Club Box takes care of that problem for us! 

The monthly subscription service delivers a sewing kit and instructions for one complete project plus extra crafting supplies to grow your collection, along with a complementary eMagazine. The kits are suitable for all ages and levels of sewing experience, so they’re perfect whether you’re old or new. We think Craft Club Box would also be the perfect gift for your friends or family! To give you an idea of what it's like, February’s box called “Go Nuts For Doughnuts!” featured an incredibly cute stuffed doughnut pincushion project, complete with a full set of instructions, needles, pins, felt, thread, and surprise extras.

The boxes cost £10 per month plus £3 p&p and can be purchased in increments of 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months (save up to 10%). If you’re interested in getting crafty or purchasing a subscription for a friend, check them out here!

Exuviance – Optilight All-Over Dark Spot Minimizer

Here at The Amazing Blog, we look back fondly at summers gone by. We don’t, however, like for our skin to carry constant reminders of a little too much time spent in the sun. For this reason, we’re so pleased to be able to erase the sins of summer with the OptiLight All-Over Dark Spot Minimizer from Exuviance.

The perfect facial treatment for winding back the clock, this creamy lotion makes a wonderful moisturiser, whilst it helps to correct and prevent dark spots. Upon application, we noticed an immediate glow to our complexion, instantly making us look more alert and youthful, and who can say no to that?  Patented ingredient, NeoGlucosamine, which helps to break up existing dark spots, isn’t the only super ingredient in this elixir. It also contains two powerful brighteners, B-Resorcinol and Turmeric, known for their abilities to reduce hyper-pigmentation, as well as trusty Vitamin E and Grape Seed Extract—the perfect concoction for a flawless complexion. The slight scent of sunscreen, certainly has us reminiscing about sunnier days, and with an added SFP 25, we can make sure that those pesky dark spots never reappear.

Keep your skin looking healthy and youthful with this wonder cream. Pick it up here  for £43.

ELLI Organic Beauty Range

We at The Amazing Blog like to be environmental friendly, and when we discovered the ELLI Organic Beauty Range, we were delighted that they shared the same ethical values. Produced by Herbs-Aplenty, this brand explores the spirit of Africa with its all-natural and multi-purpose beauty range. The products are inspired by the mountains, valleys, and deserts of Africa that are home to unique plant kingdoms with therapeutic properties.

We have already experimented a few of the products for you. One of our favourites is the citrus-scented Lip Balm, enriched with a nourishing blend of Shea butter, Marula oil, and Jojoba oil to illuminate your smile. For those unexpected skin irritations that appear just in time for special occasions, ELLI offers a spot balm with relieving natural anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. This multi-purpose balm also serves as a natural deodorant and insect repellent.

What truly sets ELLI apart from other natural products is the emphasis of traditional African culture and dedication to sustainability. The range is made entirely of certified organic ingredients, and the essential oils are harvested and processed on their own farm to ensure quality control.

Baru - Marshmallows

Here at The Amazing Blog, we're all for healthy eating, but every now and then we crave a bit of a sweet treat. So when the delicious Baru Marshmallows landed in our post box, we couldn't wait to sink our teeth into them. Four delicious boxes of fluffy Belgian snacks, they really satisfied our sweet tooth. 

We received some amazing flavours, including Fleur de Sel Caramel, Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate with Red Berries. Lovingly crafted in Belgium, Baru has created tiny bits of heaven using the most delectable ingredients such as Vanilla Bean, Homemade Butter Caramel and Honey. Light and fluffy in texture, and covered in a delicate layer of mouth-watering chocolate, we didn't feel quite so guilty after binging on these bite-size morsels. We particularly loved the Fleur De Sel Caramel flavour, which was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. We struggled to stop at just one.

Indulge in a few of these fluffy treats, and grab a few boxes for yourself here. You can get a box of 4 for £3.14, or a more generous 20 piece box for £13.09.
