Note from the publisher

Southern Beauty Magazine is all about women who are passionate about style and beauty.  Although Southern in name and by nature, Southern Beauty is not only a resource for the southern woman but for any woman who is attracted to a lifestyle of everyday elegance and inner beauty.

Southern Beauty Magazine addresses the complete needs of our readers through our FACE, HAIR, BODY, and SOUL sections.

We hope you enjoy our “insider’s point of view” and that you will make exciting discoveries throughout the pages and come back to us wanting more. As you turn each page, you’ll find the resources you need to help reach your beauty goals and answer your beauty  questions. We’re confident that you will find Southern Beautyas a voice to be trusted.   After many years working in the cosmetics industry, little did we know that our passion would lead us to the magazine world. But here we are, bringing you the latest information on the hottest products with quick-and-easy beauty tips to simplify your life.  

Additionally, since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are highlighting two incredible survivors and their inspirational stories that you don’t want to miss. On a  personal note, I am dedicating this special issue to another cancer survivor – my mother,  Jo Ann – who, to me, represents the epitome of a true Southern beauty. Her charm, strength, and faith are equaled only by her generous spirit and inner beauty.  

We’d also like to extend an invitation to you to become a member of our Southern Beauty family. You’ll find our special offer to become a subscriber in this issue.   So sit down in your favorite chair with a big glass of sweet tea and enjoy our view of the Southern woman – the grace, poise, and style that make her beautiful, inside and out.  And just like this month’s cover model, Reese Witherspoon, she’s just like you.
