Lavender Fields at Castle Farm




On Sunday I visited the biggest lavender farm in the UK and it was exactly what you imagine it to be; stunning hues of purple accompanied by glorious scents filling the entire valley.

Castle Farm is located in Sevenoaks, Kent and is free to park and wander around the farm. There is an adorable coffee cart selling the smoothest coffee and biscuits (lavender flavoured, naturally). As well as, a farm shop selling ice creams and bunches of lavender, which would look lovely in anyone's kitchen.

In the UK the weather is surprisingly still rather hot, however, sometimes it can get muggy which is where kimonos have become a real hero in my wardrobe. They're light, moveable and add interest to any outfit. Patterned kimonos should be the main focus so, the outfit should be kept simple for a day out.

This look is a bit of a casual one but you could easily dress the kimono up with a pair of nude heels and a pretty lace black top and black skinny jeans, or bring it in at the waist with a belt for more structure.

Relax with the Sweet Lullaby Range, Lola's Apothecary



Turn your bath into a sensory experience with indulgent fragrances from Lola's Apothecary. Honestly, the smell of the Sweet Lullaby collection is so intensely beautiful you could be standing in a field of lavender if you shut your eyes!

Free from synthetic fragrance, mineral oils, sulphates, parabens and other undesirable chemicals all their products are hand-crafted and formulated in their kitchen residing in the English countryside. Freshness and quality are at the forefront of the brand as they make micro batches to ensure they "encapsulate a miracle of nature: naturally active ingredients and potent botanical extracts are ethically sourced and thoughtfully blended to promote deep healing and radiance" (Lola's Apothecary).

Take a moment to unwind and relax with these products, especially the Sweet Lullaby scent. Designed to do exactly as the name suggests, run a warm bath add a few drops of the Soothing Bath Oil, close your eyes and switch off and forget about everything.

After using the bath oil for the first time my skin felt and smelt sensational, the aroma lingers long after your bath, which made for a lovely nights sleep. The oil can also be used whilst your in the shower acting as a deeper moisturiser with a more intense fragrance.

As for the Body & Massage Oil, need I say more? Even the name suggests its sensual and luxurious nature. This product really is the epitome of relaxing. Not to be applied if you are in a rush, you should take the time to apply and really allow the aroma to flood your room.

Not only are these skin care products so beautiful in nature, the packaging is equally amazing and luxurious and completely Instagramable, not to mention they look lovely displayed on the side of your bath!
