This week’s treat is all about bringing the essence of France to your home with a selection of hand-crafted goodies inspired by the power of nature.
This week we've teamed up with beauty brand Le Couvent Des Minimes to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a range of naturally sourced hand-crafted goodies. From the iconic and best-selling Gardener’s Hand Healer to the classic and signature Cologne of the Minimes, this exclusive selection contains the beauty must-haves that will transform your bathroom into a pampering haven.
Over 400 years ago, Le Couvent des Minimes started its life as a beautiful ancient Convent in the village of Mane in the heart of Provence. In the 1600s it was inhabited by agroup of Botanist Monks from the brotherhood of the Minims, henceforth giving it the name “Le Couvent des Minimes”. The monks used their considerable knowledge of plants to tend to a garden of curative herbs and flowers. Duringthe French Revolution the monks were forced to leave the Convent and it wasleft deserted until 1862 when the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary moved in andtook over residence and upkeep of the convent. The sisters used the power of plants to nourish, heal and take care for the sick, elderly and the young. The emphasis on nourishing care through nature inspired Le Couvent des Minimes’ own simple yet powerful natural bodycare, skincare and fragrance recipes.
