Balance Festival

Here at The Amazing Blog we understand how difficult it can be to maintain the motivation needed to lead a healthy lifestyle. That is why we thought we'd let you know about the Balance Festival: The perfect place to find like-minded individuals who are joining together to embrace a healthier lifestyle.

Balance Festival is the largest fitness and wellness-focused event in the UK. It brings together the best foods, classes, and the most knowledgeable nutritionists, trainers, yogis and chefs; all of whom will share their expertise to help you kick-start your journey to a better self.

Workshops will include talks and cooking demos, plus there is the option to attend over 200 fitness classes from £6 per session, perfect to sweat out some of those toxins. 

You can try out numerous cutting-edge workouts on the main stage and then relax in The Sanctuary to recharge or practice mindfulness. It is impossible to leave the festival without feeling inspired and ready to take on a new healthy lifestyle. The buzzing atmosphere will keep you coming back year after year to discover new brands, workouts and recipes; ensuring that your health regime is never dull.

Conscious Water

Mindfulness is something we try to work on here in the office at TheAmazingBlog Therefore anything that enhance this state of mind is a huge plus. Enter centre right Conscious Water which is a 100% natural flower essence water enhancer. You simply add it to water for a refreshing drink and to add an aspiration to your day. There are six aspirations to choose between; sweet dreams, clarity, love, serenity, rejuvenation, and happiness.

By choosing one of the Conscious Water aspiration sachets and drinking it, you are reminding yourself to take a moment to yourself each day to reflect on who you are, and what you would like to achieve. In our hurly burly world we just love this idea. Other than the affirmations, there are a variety of flavours that offer a very subtle and pleasant herbal taste and making our London tap water a bit more interesting! The natural herbal remedies of plant extracts and flower essences are a wonderful alternative to traditional medicines. Ilan Azouri, the founder, claims that herbal remedies give him a good life balance and happiness, and that's what we're aiming for!

If you are one for mindfulness, these Conscious Waters are a great way of taking a brief moment out of your day to focus on yourself, and step away from the hectic world that we live in. We think that they make an original gift or stocking filler for Christmas. They contain only natural flavourings, no artificial colours and chemcials or artificial preservatives. Purchase a pack of 30 for £39, or a tasting pack for £8.95 on their website here.

Intense Ultra Restore Facial Oil and Rose Quartz Body Oil - ISUN

With the ever-hectic world consuming us, it is sometimes imperative to sit back and indulge in a moment of mindfulness. Whether you're reading a book, going for a walk or taking the time to enjoy your skincare routine, it is important that we treat ourselves. If like us at The Amazing Blog your me-time is your skincare routine, ISUN, and their organic skincare range is perfect for these moments as it is founded on the concept of mindfulness to give you youthful, balanced and radiant skin.

ISUN's core ethos is to produce a positive healing effect on the body, mind and spirit, leading to a sense of total well-being. Bunnie Gullick, the creator of ISUN, maintains that the only way our skin can emit and hold onto the vitality and radiance of youth, is when it absorbs the nutrition and energy from alive ingredients. As such, ISUN's products only contain alive ingredients, giving you the greatest results. It has been proven that plants contain potent regenerating energies absorbed from the sun, and this energy can then be transferred to the skin. ISUN believe that not only does this process make us more balanced physically, mentally and emotionally, but that it also helps us become more open and loving toward others.

We can most certainly vouch for the natural feel and smell of the Intense Ultra Restore Facial Oil. With 100% active ingredients, consisting of stabilised Vitamin C, CoQ10, antioxidants and rejuvenating fatty acids, your skin will be left intensely moisturised and firmer. The CoQ10 boosts collagen in the skin, making this oil a prime anti-ageing contender. You mustn’t neglect your body in your skincare routine, and with the Rose Quartz Oil your body will receive the beneficial properties of the herb-infused essential oils. The oil will soothe and nourish your skin, promoting cell renewal. Each bottle of body oil contains a small rose quartz crystal which, as ISUN puts it best, is included to ‘subtly vibrate the healing energies of the crystal into the oil’.

You can purchase the face oil here for £110 and the body oil here for £48.
