From the executive editor

Happy July glo readers!

Warm weather is finally here! After all the rain we had in April and May, the sunshine is a welcome sight and certainly lifts my spirits. I hope all of you are enjoying summer and soaking up some rays.

This issue is our “Summer Lovin’” issue and it’s full of content to help you make the most of this season, from Summer Staycation ideas to Summer Music activities and more. We want you to be safe, as well, so be sure to check out the features on Sun Safety and Women’s Health focusing on alcohol intake. Looking awesome is a priority too, so don’t miss the Fashion Feature highlighting eyewear trends and the Love These Looks page with some awesome red, white and blue finds from our local partners.

You can also find your glo Bash ticket in this issue. This year’s event is Aug. 1 at Country Heritage Winery. Every year, over 1,000 women join us for an afternoon of shopping, door prizes, wine, a fashion show and more. The event is FREE! I hope to see you there. More information is available on page 21 of this issue or on our Facebook page.

Last month, our wonderful account executive Melinda got married. She and her fiancé headed to Sedona with family and said “I do” against a beautiful Arizona backdrop. Congratulations Melinda and Kevin. I hope you have many happy years together.

Speaking of weddings, September is our Fall Weddings issue. If you own a business that would benefit from advertising in that issue, be sure to get in touch with us. Over 40,000 women read glo each month, and advertising is a great way to reach a wider audience. Xo,

Following are the top trends for summer 2019 and how to get the looks:

Color Explosion

A splash of color can take any outfit from drab to fab instantly. Think bold and bright colored frames like pastels, red, blue and even neon.

Oversized Sunglasses

This look does double duty. Oversized sunglasses are not only stylish, they also offer more protection from UV rays.
