If you’re tearing up a bit, screaming inside your head no it’s not! or having some nostalgic thought about the value of touching a magazine or flipping through the pages of your fave book, rest assured I totally agree.

GUEST BLOGGER: Mandy Robbins Taylor So, everyone knows that our beloved editor, Bethany, claims to be the ultimate summer-hater; greatly preferring scarves, boots, and cute coats to sweat, sunburns and hot dog overload.

Last summer, during a super awesome awareness weekend workshop (The Power of Awareness) I made an agreement with myself. That I wasn’t ready to move to NY. That if I did move to NY, it would only be to prove that I can get a job at a magazine. That I didn’t need NY to [...]
