Marie Claire is publishing a feel-good special for its April edition. The Happy Issue, on-sale tomorrow, is perfect for those wanting to escape the credit crunch, recession or general bad news.
From Marie Claire's cover story, an interview with America's Gossip Girl Blake Lively, to mood-enhancing make-up and 'Shoe nirvana' – an In Store special devoted to irresistible styles for all budgets – the April issue is an uplifting experience.
Readers can curl up and escape into a world of bright, beautiful fashion, inspirational reads, affordable holidays and a celebration of guilty pleasures. Features include 'My breakthrough moment', the story of how five women finally found contentment, 'Happiness is....', celebrities' reasons to be cheerful, plus expert tips on how to get happy, and 'I'd be happy if only he'd'... – professional advice on resolving a few common relationship niggles.
Providing the laughs is 'You must be joking!', a Comic Relief special featuring the UK's top comedians, and the Janet Street Porter interview with Gavin & Stacey star and creator James Corden.
As a special pampering treat, each issue comes with a free Neal's Yard Remedies face cream, worth £9.50, and includes a special section of fabulous offers including a free Origins facial scrub worth £10.50.
The issue is packaged in a chic, recyclable wallet, to achieve extra standout on the newsstand.
