Out now! Pick up the latest edition of Mayo Life magazine

As the days stretch a little longer and the first hints of spring appear, our February/March edition of Mayo Life magazine is filled with fresh beginnings, and a celebration of the people who inspire us.

With Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and St Patrick’s Day all dotted on the spring horizon, this is a season that invites us to pause, reflect and appreciate the people who shape our lives.

In our feature interview, Bríd McGowan, a funeral director by day and musician by night, tells us she has learned profound lessons about life from her unique vantage point at its end.

Hugh O'Malley from Achill Oysters is preparing for a busy spring and Valentine's season when oysters are at the top of any good chef's menu.

Fashion designer, Lou Brennan, explains how her creations are rooted and connected to days gone by.

Interiors content creator Sarah Battle from Ballina roots through her handbag to show us her everyday essentials that help her get through her busy every day.

And in our Journey to the Job section, co-founder of Ella & Jo, Niamh Ryan, shares her journey from salon owner to beauty brand owner.

This is just a small sample of what you will find in our latest 100-page edition of Mayo Life.

Here’s to longer evenings, brighter days and a spring in all our steps. Happy reading!
