It’s Monday, and you’ve just returned to work from a (hopefully) refreshing weekend, but if you’re like me you spent your weekend working on projects and every other little thing that you have put off during the week. You’re tired and in desperate need of some motivation. Well, I have found just the thing to get you through the work week: a relaxing dose of kitchen therapy sprinkled with a bit of lavender to calm the senses as well as the soul (the sugar soul!)

Sinead’s love affair with lavender has led her to create this tranquil little treat. She even gives tips on how to make your own lavender sugar on her blog Airy Fairy Cupcakes.

Lavender serves as a natural remedy for a range of ailments from insomnia and anxiety to depression and mood disturbances. Research has confirmed that lavender produces calming, soothing, and sedative effects. This dessert is a medical necessity! Sinead has taken stress eating to a whole new level!
