Happy new year
Make way for 2023! With the indulgences of the holiday season behind us, this is a great time to refocus on health. There is no better time than the start of a new year to create healthy habits, and a story in this month’s Special Section, For Your Health, will help you do just that. Other stories can help you look and feel your best. And if you’re a cook, check out the many great recipes we’ve included to help you start your new eating routine off right.
By now, the cold weather has many of us retreating to the comforts of home. To help you and your home feel cozier than ever, we offer a supplier profile of Minhas Furniture, as well as a few picks from our buying team. And if your home office needs an update, you will find some great information in the Tech Connection’s monitor overview.
January is a great time to book that vacation you have been putting off. There is nothing like planning a trip to somewhere warm and sunny to chase away the winter chill. Our travel buying team has been working hard to find lots of great getaways that will allow you to get your toes in the sand, and you can read about Costco Travel’s offerings in this issue’s cover story.
Whatever or wherever your winter pleasure may be—whether at home or on vacation—our team at Costco wishes you and yours health, happiness and prosperity in the new year.
