WELCOME
OUT WITH THE FAMILY, MAKING THE
MOST OF WHAT'S HOPEFULLY THE LAST
OF THIS YEAR'S SNOW!
Last month, our focus fell on
spring, and this month – great
British weather permitting –
it’s all about your swing.
Kent is packed with some really
interesting golf courses, and
gone are the stuffy stereotypes
of the game’s past too. While

facilities and membership schemes have been
overhauled to suit everyone, from the occasional
golfer, to those who would never miss a round on
Sunday. Head to p82 for our 10-page guide on
where to play and what kit works best for you.
everything from theatre to flowers and photography
(p21), turn to p33 for three full pages on where to
find the best egg hunts, bonnet parades, and plenty
of other brilliant Easter activities in Kent (most of
which involve far too much chocolate).
Once you’ve worked out where to work up your
appetite, we’ve put together a ‘seasonal in spring’

and their natural inclination
to form groups, 'The In
Crowd' mug collection

KATHLEEN NATURAL SILK MIRACLE ESSENCE ,

£58.80, www.effortlessskin.com HYDRATEM8 MINIM8 ,
With cooler and drier air, the winter months
can dry out our skin, so to get your face spring
ready (aside from drinking lots of water) it’s
important you use a hydrating essence day
and night such as Kathleen Natural’s Silk
Miracle Essence to ensure that your skin stays
plump and hydrated. Lightweight and fast-
penetrating, the essence contains seven active
natural ingredients which help to nourish your
skin – make sure to wear this before your
ordinary moisturiser giving you extra hydration
and you’ll be glowing in no time. £11.99, www.hydratem8.co.uk
A water bottle printed with an
interactive chart that allows you to
monitor your water intake on a daily
basis and reminds you to drink
throughout the day, the Hydratem8
MiniM8 is an amazing bit of health
kit. It looks cool and, at only 25cm tall
with a handy clip built into the handle
that you can attach to your handbag
or belt, the design is compact, but still
holds 600ml of water. Three of those
daily and you’re done.
