Not only does it feature the most romantic day of the year, but it’s also the last, glorious month of summer – and they’re not the only reasons we love it.
Following on from Christmas and the joyous festive season, February is known for producing a fabulous array of new products to indulge in – and this month is certainly no exception. Check out what you’ll be stocking up on…
