Summer is coming to an end. Students are heading back to school and people are stowing their swimwear. July however, had people giddy and trying to get in those last few fun days of summer. This month’s issue introduces you to a couple of women who believe in living life to the fullest and taking a leap of faith toward building their businesses. Both are bosses in their own right. Both are models and have aspirations past the glitz and glam of being in front of the camera. One is about all-around entertainment, the other a southern beauty who can create hairstyles with the best of them. The models of the month, both from Texas, are some of the hottest and talented people you’ll lay eyes on. There are submissions from a couple of talented contributors. The first offers ways to break free of toxic situations. The other shares a touching story of how our youth can inspire. Enjoy.
