The Spring Reset Issue with Handpicked Local - Our March Issue is OUT NOW!

March always feels like the year stretching its arms and remembering it has plans. The light hangs around a little longer, the mornings stop sulking, and suddenly everything looks… possible.

This issue is our small nudge in that direction, a Handpicked Local mix of practical, local, and quietly lovely.

First up, Food & Drink brings The First Taste of Spring, with 10 ingredients worth getting excited about. Think of it as your seasonal shopping list with a pulse. The kind that makes you wander into the kitchen “just for a look” and emerge 40 minutes later having invented a new obsession involving something green, crisp, and unfairly delicious.

If your home is still in winter mode (blankets, doom scrolling, mild despair), Home & Garden has you covered with The Calm Bedroom Checklist. No grand renovations required, just the sort of tweaks that make your room feel like a deep breath instead of a dumping ground for laundry and half-read books.

Then there’s one of my favourite reads this month: Local Lotus Revival: From Sickness to Stunning. It’s a proper glow-up story, but the kind built on care, patience, and a bit of local magic. If you like a comeback with substance, this one’s for you.

Over in Health & Wellness, we’re getting to the roots of things. Revitalising your scalp explores what might be behind hair loss, from everyday habits to less obvious culprits. Gentle, helpful, and reassuringly free of miracle potions.

And finally, for the entrepreneurs and side-hustlers (or the “I really must sort my website” crowd), Business asks: When your website needs to do more. Because a website shouldn’t just sit there looking pretty. It should earn its keep.

Pop the kettle on, take five, and have a browse. Spring’s arriving. We might as well meet it halfway.
