I must admit I always look forward to the January issue of Essence. Every year they feature Ageless Beauties. Women who have remained beautiful, graceful and youthful in body and spirit with each passing decade. This year they are doing something different. Or should I say, there’s a “change”. Essence magazine will feature a double-cover issue of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. I would imagine this won’t be on news stands long, ladies. The issue will have a 56 page tribute to President-Elect Obama’s historic campaign. The pictures are gorgeous, classy and timeless. Actually, that is exactly what I was expecting.
Welcome

LL Cool J is on the cover of the March issue of Essence! What a pleasant surprise. Following last week's Next Chapter interview with Oprah, it was a treat to see the Grammy-winning, trail-blazing rapper and actor on the cover. Whether you love him for his classic hits, or multi-lingual, secret agent moves on NCIS Los Angeles, it's true...the talented actor opens up to Essence about his life as a family man and his love and support for his wife. “I think, at the end of the day, as a man, you should support the woman you’re with. If she’s got a dream, you need to help make that a reality. I’m doing the best I can to do that.” His wife, Simone, describes their marriage in one word—"awesome."
So I received my January issue of Essence magazine this week. The Ageless Beauties feature that was once a yearly staple in their January issue has finally returned. This gorgeous group of women dispel the popular myth that you must have a personal trainer, chef, CD, reality show, a million dollars or a baller boyfriend to look and live absolutely fabulous!
