Raw Health Snacks – Saf Raw

Here at The Amazing Blog, once it gets to 3pm we often find ourselves reaching for a snack. However, we also want to maintain our healthy lifestyle goals. That is why we loved it when we got the opportunity to try the healthy snacks from Saf Life that provide more than the usual afternoon pick-me-up.

Saf Life’s Saf Raw range has been developed upon the philosophy of ‘Eat Pure and Nourish Your Life’. That is why all of their snacks are raw, created at a maximum of 46 degrees to retain the nutrients of all the natural ingredients.  We were lucky enough to try the Cereal Bites, Fruity Coconut Pastilles, Activated Crackers and Coconut Chips, with our favourite being the Activated Crackers for a crunchy savoury snack to satisfy our office munchies. Free from gluten, dairy and soy, and high in fibre, these little morsels are the perfect guilt-free snack.  

Try the Saf Raw range for yourself, with all products available online at Planet Organic from £2.49.

Almond and Cherry Body Milk and Shower Gel – Korres

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to treat our skin to luxuriously scented, natural body products. That is why we love Korres’ Almond Cherry Showergel and Body Milk: the perfect pair to result in skin that is soft and sweet smelling.

Both products from Korres are developed from natural ingredients and are free of parabens, mineral oils and other nasties often found in skin care products. The Almond Cherry Showergel is enriched with wheat-proteins, to maintain skin health and hydration, and Althea extract, to soothe dry and irritated skin. Use in the shower on wet skin to develop a creamy lather before washing off, ready to follow with the Body Milk. The Almond Cherry Body Milk containing Almond oil, Aloe and provitamin B, moisturises and increases skin elasticity, leaving skin feeling smooth. The packaging features gorgeous designs in rich cherry red and cream, alluding to the luxury and quality of the product inside.

Enrobe yourself in the heavenly scent of almond and cherry with Korres, available online through Debenhams with the Showergel here for £8 and the Body Milk here for £10.

The Rapid Self-Tan Liquid & The Eclipse Self-Tan Mousse – Tantruth

At The Amazing Blog, as much as we’d like to bask in the summer sun to build a healthy, natural glow, we also want to protect our skin from harmful sun damage. That is why a faux tan is often the best option when trying to achieve a ‘beach holiday’ look without dishing out for tickets to the Maldives!

The Rapid Fast Acting Self-Tan Liquid comes with its own application mitt to make for an easy application and a smooth bronzed tan instantly. Enriched with Vegetan Premium, as well as Shea Butter, Satin Silk and Avocado Extract, skin is left feeling soft and the tan streak-free.

The mousse glides onto skin effortlessly, with the colour guide allowing you to see which spots you have missed, avoiding any blotchy surprises later on.
