Welcome to the Spring 'Hope' issue 2021

After the darkness of winter, the first signs of spring brings fresh hope for the new season. After a long, challenging and uncertain winter season spent in lockdown, never has spring been more welcome.

With Boris unveiling plans to end England restrictions by 21 June, we can start to see some some light and hope at the end of the long lockdown tunnel.

Schools will re-open on 8th March, with shops, hairdressers, gyms and outdoor hospitality re-opening on 12th April - it finally feels like life could get back to some sort of normality over the next few months.

After the many weeks of uncertainty, 'Hope' seemed the obvious theme for this issue of QueenBee and I really 'hope' it helps lift your spirits. We have lots of positive and inspirational content, including an eight page happiness feature and motivation to get fit and start running. Our physical fitness is so important as it's so closely linked to our mental wellbeing - it's important to keep moving, even if it's just a daily walk to get out of the house.

If you're feeling a bit more energetic, we have some fab short HIIT workout videos that you can do at home - give them a try and we guarantee you'll feel energised afterwards! We have our usual features on fashion, beauty, relationships, motherhood, homes, business, dating and wellbeing... and I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of the tremendous feature writers who have contributed to this issue. Just working on the pages have given me a real lift! I hope you all enjoy this issue and have a wonderful spring - QueenBee will be back just in time to welcome summer 2021
