EDITOR’S LETTER SPRING is truly a time of renewal, not just in terms of nature but for every aspect of life!

Spring is when we move our winter wardrobe over a little to the back of the closet ... depending on where you live lol! Spring is when our feet get a peek at the world; definitely time to take the boots off and slip into a peep toe pump or shoe-bootie.

The best thing about spring is that we get a chance to get ourselves ready for summer! That’s right, we can still lose a few pounds before swimsuit season officially starts or plan our fashion path and explore different beauty trends.

One of my beauty endeavors this spring is to get my bruised and dry elbows right. I admit that the 8+ hours that I spend each day resting my elbows on the desk while I stare endlessly at the computer has taken a toll on my elbows. Let’s see what Product Junkie has for this beauty rescue!

Our cover model this issue is the breathtaking Eudoxie Bridges. Her radiant personality lit up our studio! Eudoxie’s platform platform of sisterhood is refreshing in these times where bullying and body shaming is so prevalent. Thanks Eudoxie for the #sistercode.

Mary J. McDaniel Social Media Director

We pay homage to the fierce Super Model Pat Cleveland who paved the way on the catwalk for other African-American models like Naomi and Tyra.
