Considered Magazine
@consideredmag
Whilst we can’t travel at the moment, Manchester’s most exceptionally curated print magazine – Considered – have got you covered; transporting you from far-flung destinations like Vietnam, to a rural retreat in Norfolk. In Volume 3 of the bi-annual magazine, they also share tips for skincare and self-care, shopping pre-loved pieces, and delve into discussions of sustainability in agriculture. If 2020 has taught up anything, it might be that slowing down isn’t always a bad thing, which is at the core of the magazine’s ethos.
Victoria Ceramics

Victoria’s colourful ceramics are the ultimate pick-me-up for lockdown blues, and for her next shop update (21st November) she’s created some new, functional pieces like this gorgeous soap dish, which she hopes will make the mundane activities that bit more enjoyable whilst we’re stuck at home.

If you can’t make it out to your favourite coffee shop, then Blossom Coffee will definitely fill the void. A fairly new addition to Manchester’s roastery scene, they offer a selection of espresso and filter roasts with the intention of providing something for everyone in terms of flavour profiles and brewing techniques.
