Nominate a Community Champion!

Do you know someone who needs a treat? Who’s helped you out, personally or professionally? Whether they work in the community, or went above and beyond for a friend, have had a hard time or just work too hard and need a bit of TLC – we’d like to give you the chance to pay it back (or forward!). Nominate your community champion, so they can be in with a chance to be treated to a meal for 2 and a bottle of wine! Every month we’ll reserve a table for our specially chosen community guest – they’ll get a main meal each, puddings and bottle of wine, to help them relax and take the weight off. Because good people deserve good things…

To nominate someone, send us an email at info@stkittsherbery.co.uk, giving the person’s name and the story of why you’ve nominated them.

Make your own – Bath Milk Bag

So it seems summer is over (what little we had of it!) and autumn is swiftly taking over. My cure all for those end of summer blues has always been a good long soak in the bath! This fantastic recipe for easy peasy bath milk has been a godsend for me – perfect to help you unwind.

Ingredients:

100g milk powder

5 – 10g dried flowers (I used calendula, the colour seemed fitting for autumn!)

2-4 drops essential oil (orange for me, but you can use anything that will help you relax)

muslin bags or squares of muslin and a length of thin ribbon

Method:

 

In a bowl, add the essential oil to the milk powder and stir thoroughly. It’s important to make sure that the essential oil is completely mixed in, with no clumpy bits.

Then add your flowers and once again mix thoroughly.

That’s really all there is to it! Pop your bath milk into a muslin bag, or if using muslin squares then place a tablespoon of mixture in the middle, bring the four corners together to form a pouch and then seal with the thin ribbon. Leave a loop of ribbon to tie the bag below the tap while you run your bath, so that the water runs through the mixture.

Enjoy your soak in milky, aromatic goodness!
