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!

We just got to the middle of the week and all we want to do is take a nice, hot bath and indulge in some well-deserved pampering. Here at The Amazing Blog we have discovered c. Booth, perfect to make that relaxation session a whole lot better. We got the opportunity to try the Walnut Shell Body Scrub and Cleanser, All Over Body Sea Salt Scrub, and the Italian Olive Oil Butter. Combined, they were enough to send us into a daydream holiday by the sea.

c. Booth prides itself on providing the ultimate bathing experience whilst giving you nourished, smooth and soft skin. The Walnut Shell Body Scrub & Cleanser will make you feel like you are in nutty heaven. Rose Hip, Balm Mint, and Kola Nut have been blended to engulf you in a gorgeous scent whilst rejuvenating your skin.

The Sea Salt Scrub will also slough off any rough, tough, and dull skin whilst purifying and replenishing it with its Algae extract. You just have to massage the scrub in circular movements to start feeling an immediate difference in your skin. The holiday experience doesn’t stop here!

Organic Seaweed Skincare by Seavite

Here at The Amazing Blog, we are always searching for new and innovative products that live up to their benefits labels. Our latest find is Seavite skincare, which uses pure botanicals and seaweed extracts to transform your skin back to its youthful glow. We now have found Disney Ariel’s beauty secret to gorgeous skin!

We were sent Seavite Organic Seaweed Moisturising & Replenishing Face Creme, Hydrating Anti-ageing Lotion, and Hydrating and Soothing Toner, and the luxurious packaging instantly caught our eye. To give you a quick science lesson, seaweed produces two components when hydrolyzed: Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides—both hydrate and replenish the skin whilst strengthening the skin barrier and destroying harmful enzymes. By using Seavite, you will also benefit from anti-ageing properties and UV protection. Best of all, the products work well for all skin types! Our favourite product was the organic seaweed face crème, which left our skin feeling soft, supple, and ready for the week ahead. We promise there's no seaweed smell either!

For that youthful glow, get your Seavite Products here and on Amazon ranging from £14 - £38.19. 

Natural World - Chia Seed Oil Haircare

Here at The Amazing Blog we are always searching for this soft, beautiful and voluminous hair effect that lasts all day long. Luckily, this is not a hard task with the Chia Seed Oil products from Natural World.

Let’s be honest, how many hours have you spent in front of the mirror trying to fix your unruly mane? Too flat?, No character? From now on, you don’t need to dream about the voluminous hair that celebrities usually show on the red carpet. This range of shampoo, conditioner and oil is designed to boost volume and strength whilst providing a shiny and silky texture, giving us a bouncy and considerably fuller- looking hair.

The creamy Volume & Shine Shampoo is 95% natural and it is infused with Orange, Lemongrass, Cedar Wood, Rosemary and Ylang-Ylang oils that will leave your hair exquisitely soft and nourished. It also provides volume by effectively removing the dirt and impurities that weigh down your hair and make it limp. The Volume & Shine Conditioner is also infused with the same 5 essential oils and has a smooth, creamy texture. We know that the biggest enemy for limp hair is often the conditioner; it might be too heavy and add extra weight, but the Natural World conditioner and its Chia-extract formula helps remove impurities revealing a healthy, non-greasy hair while moisturising and detangling at the same time. The Volume & Shine Anti-gravity Treatment Oil gives the final touch to the whole process. This oil is ultra-fine and it quickly absorbs providing a voluminous hair that will last all day long. The entire line of products is gluten, phosphates and parabens free; making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Here you can check and try out the whole range for a very special price of £12.72.

Healthy Drinks – Friday Favourites

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to stay healthy and fit... but sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge. One of the biggest health tips is to drink a lot of water; however, it can be so boring to drink the same thing every day! That is why we have formed a list of drinks that are good for your diet while leaving your taste buds craving more:

Our office fridge has recently welcomed a new natural ingredient: birch sap! It has been brought to us by Buddha Water, a refreshing drink that contains organic birch sap tapped from the forests of Finland.  This special ingredient is traditionally known for its detoxifying and cleansing properties.

So it’s time to forget about miraculous creams, pills, and expensive treatments. A can of Buddha Water give you everything you need to feel healthy and look great. The drink claims to work against cellulite, encourage weight loss, and lower cholesterol. It comes in a variety of flavours that are so subtle and delicious that we couldn’t really choose our favourite. It’s also perfect for office environments because birch sap promotes relaxation.

It’s time to embrace a healthier lifestyle! Try out one of the six flavours, you won’t regret it. Buddha Water is available in cases of 24 cans here for £32.99.

In April 2015, Mighty Bee, a brand known for certified organic products, launched a new line of coconut waters. Now we can easily absorb all of the health benefits that coconut naturally contains. Mighty Bee sources their green Nam Ham coconuts from Ratchaburi, Thailand, where they’re expertly picked at their peak ripeness to capture the natural aroma and sweetness.

The coconut waters are packed with complex B-vitamins, essential minerals, and amino acids that are retained by going from tree to bottle in 24 hours. The drinks are also never heat processed, and come either cold pressure processed (Raw) or completely untouched (Virgin) varieties.
 

Because the raw version is so fresh, it is sold fresh frozen and must be defrosted to enjoy. The Raw coconut water can be stored for up to 45 days thanks to the revolutionary processing method. To purchase, check out your local organic food store or shop here for Mighty Bee coconut water.

Next up we have Ojamin Herb & Fruit, a natural lifestyle and wellbeing tonic made from 15 different herbs and fruit that will help you feel and live better. The herbs are sourced specifically from pristine forests and are free from fertilisers, pesticides, and GMOs. Only the purest of spring water is used to make a drink that helps fight off diabetes, manage blood sugars, boost immunity, cleanse your body, and revitalise your skin.

To receive all of the benefits, all you have to do is mix one teaspoon of Ojamin with water, soup, juice or tea 2-4 times per day. Whilst being suitable for vegans, it is also gluten free, cholesterol free, sugar free, salt free, fat free, dairy free and aspartame free. Ojamin is the perfect way to start your morning with a boost.

After a week of trying Ojamin, we feel more energised and lifted. We cannot recommend it enough if you’re feeling fatigued throughout the day.

Take the next step towards a healthier lifestyle with Ojamin here for £34.99, and get ready to feel and live better.

TreeVitalise Organic Birch Water is 100% natural and that is exactly what we like to hear. All of the nutrients are naturally brewed within a tree and tapped into a bottle of TreeVitalise without any added sweetener.

Sourced from the Carpathian Mountains, known to be ecologically clean and natural, the organic birch water is made by tapping into birch trees that have absorbed the nutrients from the spring thaw. Only a small amount of the water is tapped, so the trees stay entirely unharmed! Birch water will help strengthen the immune system whilst purifying your body and assisting with weight loss. While the original flavour has the silky taste of the spring forest, TreeVitalise also produce versions that are infused with organic Lemon or Mint. We personally love the lemon flavour because of its zingy taste.

For a refreshing and healthy drink full of benefits, grab your TreeVitalise Birch water here for £2.75 a bottle.
