In my quest to live well and have a clutter-free life, I didn’t get a chance to sit down in front of my PC. I suppose it was all those episodes of Clean House that made me fire up my trusty shredder and get to work. The new season started last week, and Niecey Nash is still MIA, they need to get her back quick (really, we’re talking Presto!). Still, the spirit of the show rings true. And I can vouch for the fact that It really doesn’t matter how much you’ve got it going on, clutter throws off your equanimity. The days are getting longer and every now and then there is a hint of warmth in the air, which means spring is coming. This is a time for renewal, growth and yes, cleaning. That is, cleaning up, clearing out and moving on. And to that I say, it’s about time.
So this week, I’ll continue with Investing in You, defining success, and a few products. I have to admit, I’m a bit more inspired by living well than products right now, so if you know of a product that is a must have, do share. Just hit my e-mail: rainydaydiva@gmail.com
Meanwhile, there are a few magazines that have made some cover changes recently and being the magazine junkie and loyal reader that I am, I couldn’t be more excited.
Essence magazine has finally put new faces on the cover. Do you think they finally read my e-mail? Let’s hope they can keep this trend going trough 2009. The April issue features Serena Williams, Iman and Taraji P. Henson. This issue has my favorite annual feature: Ageless Beauties. They usually do this in January, but delayed it this year due to their extensive coverage of the inauguration. All I can say is, these women remind me to ignore the nay-sayers and the haters and keep doing me.
Speaking of change…Lady O has finally chosen a co-cover girl to grace the cover of O magazine, and she could not have chosen better. First Lady, Michelle Obama is on the cover of O. The interview is very insightful and the photography is great. Oprah definitely knows how to interview. Don’t you just hate it when you open a magazine and the interview is all of two superficial questions amounting to one paragraph? Editors, take heed.
And interestingly enough, Beyonce will be on the cover of Vogue Magazine’s annual Shape issue. Anytime Vogue has a woman with a hint of color on the cover it is a big deal. In fact, we can count the number of times that has happened on our hands. This being the second month in a row (Michelle Obama was on the March cover)…like I said, it’s about time.
