Clutch Cafe: A guide to my favourite brands

With everything that’s going on, I was thinking about the relevancy of this project. It always terrified me to fly our products all over the world - from Margate to Japan. So we tore up the rule book, and began making similar products but with localised ingredients only available in Japan. Localised production allows us to still be a global brand, share the same values as Margate but with a more conscious supply chain."

If Kelly wants to come make the interior design decisions on our home… she is welcome at any time.  Paul was able to head in for an upper body massage, whilst I was able to take in the benefits of a copper bath that is located on site. And not only is the bath gorgeous to look at, and not only is it so amazing cause the water stays warm for so long because of the copper. But Copper has been known to have a resorative effect on joint movement, and connective tissue by reducing inflammation assosiated with arthritis.  … which if you have been following me for a while now, and you know the old athritis back I have, and arthritis sciatic joints I have. You know that this was the major selling point for me.  I was able to soak in the tub for about 35 minutes – Kelly told me I had to sit in there for a minimum of 20 in order to reap any of the benefits. And truthfully as much as I was relaxed, it is crazy how hard it is to actually turn off and… relax fully.  What I haven’t mentioned is the delicate rose buds that Kelly brings over from Morocco that offers the most amazing scent that eventually will help you wind down as they soak with you in the tub. As well as the Haeckels seaweed that is added to the water to give extra nourishment to your skin ! Which FUN FACT : this seaweed is sourced from the east side of the country !  After I soaked all of this up, it was time for me to get an upper body massage ! And as someone who goes to physio therapy every week – and still often left in pain. This is the part I was most excited for! I can see why you go for a soak and the right into the massage – my body felt that much more prepared for my massage.  Kelly was able to work out any last bit of tension that I had in my upper back, however it wasn’t done in an overly aggressive way that had me feeling more rough then when I walked in there. But it also wasn’t so soft that it felt like she did nothing. It was such a reminder that a treatment doesn’t need to be aggressive in order for it to work.  I cannot wait to go back and visit the Barn – I think next time I will bring a book with me, or my headphones even better to realllllly try and turn off, and soak up the experience. No pun intended lol. Have you visited The Barn before ? What is your favourite treatment to get done here ?
