Crodoughs - Rinkoff Bakery

 

If you appreciate a delicious treat as much as we do here at The Amazing Blog, you will have most likely already have heard about the glorious taste sensation that is sweeping the nation, the Crodough. Perhaps you may also recognise it as the ‘Cronut’ or ‘Dosant’, but yes, we are talking about the legendary hybrid pastry treat, the combination of a croissant and a doughnut.

The Cronut is an invention of the Dominique Ansell Bakery, in New York, and became so popular with our fellow dessert enthusiasts that people began to queue for hours every morning to get their teeth into one, in fact, the delicious concept proved so popular they have even trademarked the name. Thankfully there is no need to fly all the way to New York for a sweet snack as you can now get your hands on your very own Crodough from the Rinkoff Bakery based in Whitechapel, London.

The Crodough is made by frying the croissant pastry, giving a distinct layered texture. Once cooled the Crodoughs are filled with one of three flavours and then decorated. The flavours on offer are: Custard, Raspberry and Toffee Apple Crumble. All of which are wonderful, we can promise you that as we tried them all out just to bring you the most honest review possible...There was no complaining involved in the sampling session. Crodoughs are just as popular here in London as they are in New York, so to get your own make sure to get to the Rinkoff Bakery early to avoid disappointment. You can find the Rinkoff Bakery at 222-226 Jubilee St, E1 3BS and find out more information on their website.

This sun cream protects your skin from both UVA and UVB radiation, and helps prevent premature aging. The Kalis sun range also has a variety of other SPF's, as well as tan activator and aftersun cream, so you can nourish your skin throughout your fun in the sun.

Selexir

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to review products that we think will become staple items in your beauty cabinet. Sometimes we come across items that we know will be fast favourites, and if you suffer from dry or irritated skin then we think you'll love Selexir's Peace Balm. This luxurious cream is the perfect treatment balm for sensitive skin. Whilst I don't have extremely dry skin, like a lot of people I definitely have dry patches on parts of my body. I don't know about you but my elbows and knees just never seem to get moisturised! Selexir's Peace Balm is a great rescue remedy that soothes distressed, irritated and sensitive skin which can be applied to the face, ears, neck, hands and elbows as often as you need. It's packed with 21 concentrated, natural ingredients, which provide lasting hydration for your skin and help strengthen your skin. A lot of the time a moisturiser will leave your skin feeling hydrated for a few hours, but quickly fade, but Peace Balm penetrates your skin and lasts. Peace Balm is also really nice for anyone with mild eczema, it's dermatologically proven to improve the look and feel of your skin, and won't cause an adverse reaction. While you may be initially hesitant of the colour, the pale green colour of Peace Balm is a visual reminder of the natural ingredients. I suggest using a small amount to start with and then slowly massaging it into the skin, the cream is lovely and thick, so you don't want to overdo it, and at a price of £83 you don't want to waste an ounce! If you're still not convinced you want to commit to getting a full bottle, the wonderful people at Selexir are offering free samples (you just pay for shipping) exclusively online, so click here to get your sample!

So whether your skin is in need of a soothing balm, or you just want to treat your skin to an extra bit of hydration, try out Selexir's Peace Balm for a luxurious treat!

Pairfum

Every so often, us girls at The Amazing Blog get to try products that are unlike anything else on the market. When these opportunities come along we jump at the chance to feature these unique products. And this is the case with the Pairfum Canopy Infusion room diffuser. I'm sure everyone out there has seen some sort of reed diffuser, and as lovely as they are, there don't even come close to the Canopy Infusion diffuser. We have the diffuser in the Trail of White Petals fragrance and we can't imagine how amazing the other scents smell if they're anything like this one! Not only do they fragrance a room beautifully but they look so elegant as well. The diffusers come in a variety of fragrances, so whatever your scent preference, Pairfum is sure to have one to suit you. The Canopy Infusion diffusers are created by coating an air-dried 'seagrave' leaf in a concentrated perfume infusion. This then fragrances the room for up to 4 weeks, when you can replace the diffuser for a new one. The Canopy Infusion diffuser comes with 6 large leaves and are all hand-crafted, meaning each leaf is unique. Even better still, all the packaging is fully biodegradable, meaning every part of your Canopy diffuser is healthy for you and the environment. The Canopy Infusion diffuser is currently taking up residency on top of our cabinets in the office, but this unique diffuser would look great in most decors, and rooms in your house. There are also a ton of different ways you can display your diffuser, we've left it in it's stand, but feel free to get creative with it!

If you're looking for a unique and long-lasting way to scent your space we really recommend having a look at Pairfum's Canopy Infusion diffuser and their selection of home products.

B-Organic

Here at The Amazing Blog we're suckers for an organic skincare range, and even more so for one that works just as well as their chemical packed competitors. So when we came across B-Organic's completely organic and natural range we had to try it! The B-Organic website is full of products for adults as well as children, all being certified organic. I tried the  Hydrating Organic Face Cream, and I even brought it on holiday with me to give it a proper test! I found that the cream not only went on really smoothly, but also sunk into my skin nicely. It didn't leave a slimy texture on my skin like some moisturisers do, and you really feel like you're treating your skin. If you don't believe me though, check their website, there are tons of comments from other very happy users. Not only is the B-Organic range perfect for people with normal skin, but if you suffer from skin conditions like eczema or very dry skin then this is a range you'd want to try! All the B-Organic ranges are Paraben-free, Ethoxylate-free, Propylene Glycol-free, Silicone-free, DEA-free and artificial colour-free.
