Our goal, in this issue, is to remind you that the source of your pleasure begins with loving yourself, and loving yourself begins with giving yourself the things that bring you joy and help you feel good about yourself. Our staff - and, of course, Janet Jackson - calls this The Pleasure Principle, and our Cover Model Chic, Lauren Hope, exemplifies this ideal! In an interview with our Boss Chic, Jay L. Harris, Hope shares her personal journey toward self-acceptance as the ultimate demonstration of self-love and, therefore, the source of our self-care, which is the ultimate purpose of awakening the divine feminine.
