We are saying goodbye to winter and hello to spring. It's been a long, wet winter. We're embracing that with ideas for mud painting, worm charming and earth-eating, but looking forward to brighter days, dyeing eggs using natural materials and celebrating Ostara and the super-rare Blood Worm Moon!
February is a time for emerging; we peep out of our winter fug and creak open the door. Time to forage for dandelions, smile at strangers and join the muddiest of festivals. Plus a bucketful of half-term ideas, from Viking battles to joining a lip sync brawl and making a constellation in a cup.
Our Natural Beauty Awards established in 2013, are seeking the best products across a whole range of categories from children's shampoo to mascara, pregnancy products to night moisturiser.
Baby, it's cold outside. But let's get out regardless. Make beautiful ice scenes, discover snowdrops, spend 1000 hours outside, and join in wintry folk traditions. Plus cosy ideas for dark afternoons, hack Veganuary, grow microgreens, and plan your cultural 2026.
