As we all know, the beauty industry is a multi billion dollar a year endeavor that helps women discover their personal fountain of youth, but as our tagline refl ects, we also like to keep the focus on the beauty from within (which is free!). Although I am a self proclaimed b eauty addict an d will try and/or buy pretty much any product that catches my eye, there is something to be said about a truly beautiful person someone who appreciates the beauty in others, the beauty in life, and the beauty in love and living an authentic life. Now that s true beauty and something to which I aspire.

Another area I always find beautiful is the fashion world, which leads to me warmly welcoming our new Fashion Director Marcus Stewart. I am thrilled with his addition to the team and excited as he incorporates new ideas and thoughtful direction within our fashion pages for many issues to come.

For our team and in life every day is a work in progress from the inside out; through this issue, I learned a lot, laughed a lot, and was inspired a lot. I hope you are too!
