5 wellbeing mags that will give you a little positivity boost
So many magazines, so little time. We share five mags that are worth your time and money.
I love a good magazine. There’s just something special about treating yourself to one of the many beautiful matt or glossy covers that fill the shelves at your local corner shop or supermarket. But with many having a price tag on par with a chart-topping paperback, it can be hard to know which magazines are worth the investment of your time and money.
Here are five of our favourite magazines that bring a little boost of positivity and mindfulness to your day.

Focusing on helping readers to feel calmer and more relaxed in themselves, each issue is filled with inspiring, motivational ideas to make you think, calming craft projects to help you chill out, and thought-provoking articles to help you build your wellbeing toolkit to release stress, increase resilience, let go of negative emotions, and work towards true happiness.
