Welcome
The days are lengthening and the scent of blossom is wafting in the air – spring is here, and with it the promise of clean starts and brighter days ahead.
With the world around us seemingly in full bloom, we’ re so excited here at Costco Connection to embrace a fresh start. We’ re all feeling inspired to shake things up, and what better place to start than at home.
In our special section, we’ re looking at different ways to get the most from your indoor and outdoor spaces. On page 18 you’ ll find expert tips for transforming any nook into a space for self-care – whether it’ s to sit and meditate, rest and read, or exercise and get fit.
Enlist a little shelf help on page 23 to turn those out-of-control shelves into organised, streamlined zones that you’ ll actually enjoy seeing, then head outside to transform your yard into a fun and festive environment, just in time for school holidays. With our helpful tips and exciting products, you can make your own water-play zone in the backyard to keep the kids entertained and help you enjoy a staycation.
Get ready for Halloween with some wonderfully spooky sweets from baking maven Catherine Zhang on page 36 – it’ s all treats with no tricks. And if the change in season has you craving quick and wholesome fare, flick to page 51 for a collection of delicious meals in a bowl – there’ s everything from a Greek lamb bowl to a classic Hawaiian salmon poke bowl for sensational weeknight meals.
We hope you enjoy the issue!
