Here at The Amazing Blog, we have been searching for a miracle: we’d like to go back in time and recover our youthful glow. That however, is virtually impossible unless we travel to Neverland. So instead we have found Antique Apothecary to take us one step closer to our dream.

Handmade with love and care, Antique Apothecary has created an Anti-Ageing range with 100% natural products designed to help your skin looking healthy and naturally beautiful. We were sent four different products: Anti-Ageing Herbal Cleansing Face Oil, Rose Otto & Frankincense Dream Revitalising Anti-wrinkle Herbal Cream, Royal Orchid & Helichrysum italicum Total Renewal & Anti-Ageing Herbal Cream, and Ultimate Eye Balm, and all of them were fantastic!

The Ultimate Eye Balm is applied once every morning to help protect the sensitive area around your eyes whilst removing dark under-eye circles. The Rose Otto & Frankincense Dream Revitalising Anti-wrinkle Herbal Cream is applied in the evening to help reduce fine lines and plump your skin, adding nourishment and moisture to restore your youthful glow while you get your beauty sleep. For best results, apply the Royal Orchid & Helichrysum italicum Total Renewal & Anti-Ageing Herbal Cream in the morning before applying any makeup.  With age-defying power from a special ingredient called Royal Orchid, this cream will firm and hydrate your skin. We loved the light floral fragrance that lingered after appliance as well. Our favourite product of the bunch has to be the Anti-Ageing Herbal Cleansing Face Oil, which cleanses, nourishes, and protects the skin all in one.  We love that the cleansing oil uses 100% vegetable ingredients, making it vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Delicious Italian Food at the Palm of Your Hand

When I think of Italian food, I just sit back and say ‘ahh’. Delectable smells and delicious tastes, Italian dishes always get my mouth watering. So it comes as no surprise that when we heard about a new Italian snack here at The Amazing Blog, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to try it. Rita’s Fugasun is a new company out of Park Royal that is creating a delicious, tasty snack  that is sure to get anyone's mouth watering.

Rita’s Fugasun is a vegetarian vegetable pie that is prepared fresh daily in their bakery. It is a compilation of vegetables wrapped in a pastry shell. Let me tell you, this is an absolutely perfect snack. It is packed full of nutrient-rich ingredients like Swiss chard, courgettes, onions, parsley, olive oil, Organic Arborio rice, and eggs. The pastry is made with organic flour, which is an added plus. The pie also contains vegetarian friendly parmesan cheese, which tastes anything but faux! We all agreed: it is delicious. Everyone loved it, and wanted more immediately.

This pie is perfect for many people, especially because it is Vegetarian Society Approved. But don’t be fooled, readers, this pie is delicious for anyone! I’m guessing you obviously want to know where these pies can be purchased, right? In London, you can get them from Planet Organic, Darwin’s Deli, and many other locations. Check the Rita’s Fugasun website for a full listing. The pies can also be delivered to an office by calling 020 8537 9070. Definitely time to re-think your next snack!

Pulsin's Bēond Bars

At The Amazing Blog we can't get enough of  The Olympics - Team GB is doing fantastically well and we couldn't be happier! So with only five more days of the Olympics left, and surrounded by this inspiring and sporty atmosphere, we've given up drinking Coke and eating biscuits (which I can assure you wasn't easy) . In our mission to be healthier we found a rather tasty snack - enter Pulsin's Bēond Bars. Made from 100% raw ingredients and packed with goodness, these Bēond Bars certainly merited  their recent award as the Best New Organic Food Product  at Natural and Organic Products Show. They are vegan and vegetarian, gluten-free and contain no added sugar - a definite healthy snack suitable for everyone. The Bēond Bars come in two delicious flavours: the Bēond Raw Choc that contains single estate raw chocolate from Peru, dates, almonds and raisins; and the Bēond Açai Berry with almonds, dates, açai berry and raspberry. The texture of the bars is very soft and slightly chewy so they can be enjoyed by both kids and adults.

Moreover, Bēond Bars are made using renewable wind energy from Ecotricity and 1% of all sales go to the Bee Guardian Foundation - where they help to protect bee diversity. The three founders of Bēond believe that healthy populations and traditional farming methods are essential to a balanced ecosystem - reason why they support the Bee Guardian Foundation. So if you're fed up with your regular snacks and you're willing to change your eating habits, Pulsin's Bēond Bars may be the answer for you - and at the same time, you'll be supporting renewable energies.You can purchase Bēond Bars at Wholefoods Markets stores, Planet Organic stores, Revital Stores, Nutri Centre stores and a growing amount of independent shops. They are also available online at Pulsin'. The RRP in stores is £1.39 per bar - we think this is good value considering all the deliciousness they offer.

Fancy indulging in a guilt free treat?

Have you ever gotten a Valentine’s gift of gummy bears? Or had a watermelon sweet during the Holidays? I know I haven’t. Valentine’s day and the Holidays are usually filled with stuffing myself full of fudge until I am sweating chocolate. Normally the after feeling is not quite as pleasant as the consumption. If you’re like me, you need a break from the constant chocolaty gifts and snacks that are always around and are in need of something just as satisfying but something that won’t leave you feeling quite so guilty.

And thankfully, a new company is devoted to giving people those luxury sweets that have always been put on the back burner. Jealous offer irresistable guilt-free sweets that are packaged in gorgeous gift boxes and suitable for everyone including those with special dietary and ethical requirements. All of the products have no artificial colours, no artificial flavours, are alcohol free, gluten free and suitable for vegetarians.

Whether you are looking for a new sweet to try for yourself or a fun present that won’t be the typical truffle or caramel, the Jealous gift will always be the best decision.

Everyone will be Jealous while you indulge in your new guilt-free choices. Exclusively available at Selfridges.
