It’s the most wonderful time of the year – so MM has put together a special magazine edition!
This issue compiles a selection of the light-hearted things that we all enjoy during the festive season, whilst also making sure that we cover the more sombre and emotional themes that consume some families at this time of year. We’ve got stories to brighten your days and speak to the moments that make this season special – and challenging.
Christmas isn’t always easy. For those finding it hard to embrace the season’s joy while carrying the weight of grief, we have gathered sincere advice and heartfelt stories to remind those that need it that support is always within reach. In this edition, we also shine a light on the severity of spiking, a growing issue which is particularly prominent around Christmas, and explore how we can protect one another.
On a lighter note, who could forget the humble jacket potato? It is certainly having its moment in the spotlight! Whether you love the classic beans and cheese or are more on the experimental side, we explore why this dish is so comforting to all especially in this time of cold and crisp. The holiday season is also a time for giving back.
Making a shoebox full of things to send to children less-privileged than ourselves at school was an activity that brought the community together – but exploring the impact it had on the people receiving them, really highlights the extent of the joy that giving back can have on others.
In this issue, we also take a look at the inclusivity of makeup – with a particular focus on fair skin. Whilst we are seeing a much-needed increase in the range of products catered to darker skin tones, with just two or three fairer tones to choose from, are people with paler skin being left behind?
All of this, as well as sustainable gift giving, money saving tips, winter fashion trends, and more, in this Christmas edition of the Mancunian Matters magazine.
