Read all stories from Good

Good Magazine Description:

Good is a unique title that makes life in the region easier, better and simpler, changing the way you shop, eat and live.

We’re the ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ idea you share on Pinterest, the shortcut that you’re thankful for each time you drive home, the a-ha moment, that emergency gift you keep stashed in the wardrobe, your little black book, that factoid that always impresses, the hot topic at the dinner party, breakfast table and water-cooler.

Truly rooted in the community, good exists on the pages of the magazine, but also online, through social media and on the radio waves. We even treat our readers to special events, workshops and little extras, keeping them in touch with experts, entrepreneurs, tastemakers and local talent.
