If you have ever suffered from acne and breakouts you will understand the devastation left behind and the map of infection left on your skin for the entire world to see. Some people are lucky enough to escape with minimal scarring, whilst others are left with a rough, uneven skin tone that can demoralise and depress beyond comprehension to those blessed with 'perfect' skin.

Winners of this year's Soil Association Organic Food Awards, supported by Seeds of Change, were recognised last night (19th September2013) at a celebration in central London. The awards showcase the UK's best organic food produced with passion, creativity and care. Winners include Brown Cow Organics live natural yoghurt, Riverford vegetable harira soup, the Hampstead Tea and Coffee Co white leaf tea, Booja Booja's Keep Smiling Vanilla M'Ggorilla frozen dessert and the Story Group organic chicken.

Move over mulled wine, it's all about warming beer cocktails as the winter nights draw in. Braconnier and Sloe Poach are two winter cocktails created by mixology legend Nick Strangeway for Badger ales. Although historically inspired, both cocktails have been given a modern twist through the use of beer mixed with contemporary spirits and flavourings. The cocktails have been created to appeal to current beer drinkers and to open up the world of beer to people who have yet to discover it.

To celebrate the last day of summer and in support of the Soil Association's Keep Britain Buzzing campaign, Le Pain Quotidien will be giving away free cups of organic coffee on the morning of 23rd September, the last day of summer. The free coffee will be available around different Le Pain Quotidien restaurants across London.

Congratulations to our winners: Debbie Stavert (Cumbria) and Nancy Jarvis (London).
