MAKE TIME FOR LOVE (Editor's Note)

If you’ve noticed a lot of red and pink popping up in stores, it’s because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

While love and affection should be year-round and spontaneous, I don’t think there’s any harm in celebrating a day just for love, whether it’s intimate love you share with a partner, the love you have for your family or taking a day to practice some self-love.

I think of it as a bonus opportunity to spend quality time together, make meaningful gestures, and create lasting memories.

On page 10 you can check out my list of swoon worthy sips, while our entertainment expert Sam has compiled a list of tantric tunes for your Valentine’s playlist.

Further in this edition on pages 20 – 23, you’ll find a plethora of information about Mackay Regional Council’s Sports Expo, being held at the MECC this Sunday.

Participating in sport helps children develop physically, socially, and emotionally. Physically, sports help improve coordination, increase strength and flexibility, and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Socially, sports provide a great opportunity for children to make friends, learn teamwork and communication skills, and build confidence. Emotionally, playing sports can help reduce stress, increase self-esteem, and foster a positive attitude.

Take your pick from the clubs on show and you may even discover a sport you might like to try yourself – it’s not only for the kids!
