A student of the Mage’s Academy is detained by its malicious headmaster. She is spared, though she is forced to prove her worth. Edi Nari—a woman once resigned to a quiet life of study— soon finds herself thrust into a small-scale war against the living dead. Though they are controlled by beings of unfathomable power called liches, something more baleful stirs beneath the land...

The Foreign Exchange Market, or FOREX, has been around for 150 years. Most of us have never even heard or know what FOREX is. FOREX was designed for the insanely rich, banks and big business. It is the difference in currency from one country to another. This is not just individuals exchanging currency for travel but also countries in the purchasing from each other also. This is a $6.6 trillion dollar a day business, that now everyone can access. FOREX can be scary, we all have the fear of the unknown. When done with guidance and experts it is actually no different than anything else. We are not taught by parents or school anything other than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;?. Sometimes, especially in times as now, we must think outside the box and know we must take care of ourselves. The FOREX market never waivered and was just as lucrative during this pandemic as it has always been. When stocks have dropped FOREX continued to remain. The profits in FOREX depend on account size and allocation. How the FOREX market works and what we have done ourselves, and figured out, is that you can double your account every month. This is what not just myself and husband have done but so many others. It is truly a way to stay in control of your income, which during this trying time, we have not felt any loss. FOREX is a true way to know you are changing with the times. Gigetta Spear www.spearchange.money

My Story

by Jordanne Menzies My name is Jordanne Menzies. 16 years ago when I was 18 I was living a great life. I had just graduated from high school, working as a waitress and pursuing my dream of being a fashion model. Being a teenager I thought I was invincible. I thought I could do it all! Little did I know my life was about to get turned upside down. One gorgeous day in October 2003, I woke up at 4am and went to work. After work I drove 4 hours through the mountains for a modeling interview. I was so excited! My life was headed right where I wanted it to be. The interview went well, I had dinner with my dad and headed back home around 10pm. The drive through the mountains is always beautiful. I was making great time since it was at night and not much traffic. My parents offered me a hotel room so I could rest. I was 18 and invincible, I would be just fine. I had to work the next day. They say that bad accidents happen 5 minutes from home. In my case that was true. I was almost home on the interstate going 90mph. My friend was with me for company. She yelled my name as the car was veering towards a guardrail. I overcorrected and the car flipped front to back, side to side. I was not wearing my seatbelt! My body flew out of my car and landed on the other side of the interstate. A semi truck was coming, the driver saw the dust in the air from the accident. She had to slam on the breaks so I would not get ran over. Luckily her husband was an ex sheriff and knew what to do. They saved my life. While this was going on my friend crawled out of the car and was yelling my name looking for me. I will always be thankful that she walked away with a scratch on her forehead. My body did not do so well. I had knee deep wounds, broken ribs, a gash on my forehead and a broken neck! I couldn't breathe on my own or move my body. I was paralyzed from my chest down. I spent 2 weeks in ICU and 3 months at Craig Hospital. Thankfully I don't remember any of the accident, only waking up in the hospital on a ventilator not able to talk. The start to my new life! Being at Craig Hospital was only good because they taught me how to live paralyzed but nothing more than that. My dad and step mom had to buy a new house and renovate the bathroom. I had my own mother in law suite, which was great. I needed my own space. The pain mentally and physically was hard. I fought to be able to breathe on my own again but I will never be able to use my arms or legs. I am a quadriplegic. With all of the pain and the crying and trying to figure out my new life, growth happened. I didn't have to accept my new life but I had to learn life differently. What could I do now? Am I just going to waste away my life drinking and never amount to anything? Live with my parents forever? No way I am way to independent to do that. Plus I wanted to give back to my family for everything they do for me. So I spent 10 years off and on going to college for my associate's degree in early childhood education! Yes I can be a teacher, why not! My breaks in school were because of a pressure sore on my left ischeild. Right on the sit bone. I did a lot of fundraisers to go to Costa Rica and Panama for stem cells. That was the only hope I had for any recovery. It was a great experience that I will never forget. Did the stem cells work? No not really. Mostly because I didn't have any physical therapy where I live to work out and resend those connections to my brain. The pressure sore lasted 3 years. Being on bedrest for 3 years wasn't fun. Losing even more muscle and weight, with all of the infections, I was 90lbs. I'm 6ft tall this was very unhealthy. Finally after 3 years of infection and surgeries I decided to have the flap surgery done. This was a surgery that they pull muscle from your leg and

attach it over the bone. Muscle gets more blood circulation than other tissues. Mentally preparing myself for this surgery was tough. It was a 6 week stay at the hospital and happened to be in October. The same month my accident happened. Its definitely not my favorite month of the year. I am a dog mom and leaving him for 6 weeks was so hard but I was ready to get this surgery done and back to my life. I almost lost my life again. It was a success!! Having a spinal cord injury level C3,4,5 is complicated. I need help with almost everything. I had to get used to having someone shower me and seeing my vulnerable body. Autonomic dysreflexia is what happens when something is wrong with my body and I have to figure out what. It can cause high blood pressure, sweating, stroke or a heart attack. Very dangerous so I learned early on to be in tune with my body and what is going on. My life finally started to take off when I moved 4 hours from home. It was scary yet so invigorating! I learned a lot, grew a lot, gained more independence and had more opportunities! I lived a dream of being In a fashion show! I couldn't believe it! The fashion show was about empowering women it was so perfect! I wish i would have been able to do more with it but at the time i was still learning life. Living on my own was tough. I had to figure out when to have my caregivers come take care of me and when I was comfortable being alone. Panic and anxiety attacks were the worst. I lived and learned and I'm so thankful for it. The time came to move back home closer to family. I finished school and am still so proud of myself! After graduating being a teacher got put aside. My health still wasn't great and being around kids with germs, I was afraid of getting deathly sick and my health matters to me. So once again I was stuck not knowing what to do with my life. I decided to run for Ms Wheelchair Colorado in 2017 and I won! It was very unexpected. I was just doing it for fun. I didn't have any guidance or know what I was doing. After winning I competed in Ms Wheelchair America. It was tough and I almost quit. The accommodations weren't ideal for my level of injury. I was cold the entire time, which is part of being paralyzed. So my head wasn't in it. I enjoyed meeting everyone who participated. I was also a girl scout leader. Which was fun but so time consuming and nothing about girl scouts is accessible. Sad but true. I didn't have the energy to fix it and make it better. An opportunity working from home came across my Facebook. I was intrigued! Working from home on my phone this had to be my golden ticket! At the same time someone referred me to a job opening as a teacher. I decided to give it a shot and I got the job! Excited and fearful was how I was feeling. After everything I had been through, almost losing my life twice, I had to give it a try. Currently I am a lead teacher at a preschool. I have battled through the germs, only getting severely sick a couple of times. Which makes my immune system stronger. I am also with an amazing company working from my phone. The products have helped my health a lot! Underweight is no longer an issue plus I'm filling my body with the best nutrition and I feel it everyday!! With everything I've been through, I'm forever grateful for what I have. A huge support system, my dog and recently purchased my new house. Nothing can stop me from living my best life!

My name is Crystal Grider and I am a busy mother of seven children and a home care assistant. I started looking for extra employment opportunities years ago and there were so many work from home businesses that sold everything from coffee to candy bars. I couldn’t find the one for me until two years ago when I was introduced to Monat by a friend. I fell in love with the way their hair products made my hair feel but the real test was to have my picky husband try it. When he got out of the shower, he said that it was the best product he had ever used for his hair. We were sold! I decided that we wanted more than just the product. I wanted to join the Monat team and I haven’t looked back. I am a busy mother and the best part of Monat is that I get to decide how much time, effort and energy I will spend while not taking time away from the family.

Owner and Founder Alisha Powell Holistic Heartfelt Healing branched out and GypsyQuartz was launched! This combines my holistic approach with alternative healing methods and for unleashed energetic transformation.

Gypsy Quartz

Affirmations of love and light, Gypsy Quartz was created for you sweet soul! To introduce the metaphysical properties of crystals and to allow you to heal from within and reclaim your power as we navigate the world around us.

Growing up I was always the sensitive kid. I was told “You are fine. Suck it up. Keep going”. I think for most of us we are taught to shut down our awareness of energy and stick to “the script”, act a certain way, think a certain way. As young children, especially, we are as close to pure source energy as we can be. This before the conditioning of our role models has really sunk in. With that being said we find it challenging to question how we feel and what is happening around use. From childhood to this day I can walk into a room and feel the energy, the vibration off every single soul in the room. I have always had this sense of knowing that I could not explain. Then one day, I was told that I was an Empath. This put into perspective the way that I was able to see the world differently than other people. It helped me to realize this innate gift within myself that allowed me to be in tune with my senses, and the entire range of emotions, and explained why I processed things, neurologically heightened, from the average person. Almost daily I used to feel like my body was being hijacked when I entered a room. There was this surge through my body as I absorbed the mental frequency of others. We all can do this. I guarentee it has happened to you before. You walk into a room and someone has just had a dispute. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a butter knife. In this instance you have felt the energy of the room. Our bodies are very accurate and sensitive instruments that measure and communicate with all that surrounds us. Here is what I have learned that will change the way you process your world! If everybody in the world understood the energetic nature of our world, the reality you experience would have a different lens to it. Everything is energy! When we walk into the kitchen to get a cup of milk, it takes energy. That is a given. But let’s break it down. Energy required to lift the arm, reach for the handle, pull to open. Then energy to open the cap and pour it into the cup to be drank. Another round of energy to lift the cup to your mouth and use the muscles in your throat to swallow and consume the liquid. We all know this; it is not a new discovery. Here is the challenge, what does it really mean? Our energy impacts and affects the things around us! As an Empath, I felt more than most and consequently was out of balance energetically more often than not. I found crystals to help me be balanced within my body. Most adults, who are not versed in vibrational energy, respond to people and situations based

on actions rather than taking note of the energetic exchange happening before them. Black and white thinking. I wanted a glass of milk so I got one. In this instance of the scenario above, the room wasn’t where I wanted to be so I left. There is no desire to look and feel into it… because they are caught up in the “script” of how life “just is”. They have accepted this as their reality. Until we wake up and begin to be conscious, we don’t realize how much unconscious we’ve been living with. So, how can you take better care of managing your energy so that you are not meeting life with resistance, but are able to shift your energy, your vibration, in order to feel and experience the way you want your life to be? Step 1: Awareness Take note of how you are feeling during and after an exchange of energy. Slow down to process what is happening within and around you. Step 2: Reflection Take conscious note of how you are feeling and what actions you are choosing. Those actions are creating your reality. Do a body scan! Where are you feeling stuck in your body? Step 3: Redirection If you do not like your reality, you have the power to create a new one! Don’t like the way things are going? Time to change your thoughts, your actions. Change your energy, change your world! Your thoughts (which are energy) create your feelings, your feelings create action, and your actions creates results! So how can crystals help your energy? This is where crystals come into practice!!! Crystals contain healing properties ranging from bringing inner peace, assisting in manifesting a life of abundance, dispelling anxiety, activating and harnessing the power to speak up for yourself, the list is endless. Crystals have their own particular vibration and frequency, which arise from their molecular composition. From the way they move and interact, these vibrations and energies work in uplifting your mood, mind and health. Like other forms of alternative therapy, crystals work by channelizing your energy levels, thereby, focus on healing your body from the inside. In a considerable manner, often the way oils or aromatherapy work for healing. Crystals act as a power hold for healing as they are able to omit positive energy to flow into the body and do away with the negative, toxic energy. The body has 7 Chakra’s, which are like swirling wheels of energy where the physical body and consciousness meet. When aligned our energy flows upward. If one chakra is out of balance you will energetically be misfiring your cylinders. You become out of balance physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritual well being. They can be healed and balanced using crystals!!!  Feeling like you just don’t care anymore (autopilot taken over your life – Crown Chakra)  Are you lacking peace / feeling stuck in the unknown? (Probably have a lot of mental chatter in your head - 3rd Eye Chakra)  Are you having trouble trusting? (Is your heart aching – Heart Chakra)  Not speaking up for yourself? (lump in throat – Throat Chakra).  Trouble with will power (eating your feelings away – Solar Plexus Chakra)  Anxiety bothering you? (you probably feel like butterflies are in your belly – Sacral chakra).  Stress levels high? (chances are you are also having low back pain – Root Chakra) Crystal healing as an effective form of practicing self care is becoming incredibly popular! The

daily carry or wearing of crystals is an elegant and subtle reminder of our intentions. They allow us to connect with our energy, heal our unbalanced chakras, and to act in a way that is aligned with the reality we are trying to create.

Carnivore or Vegan … Say What…?! WILLIAM MALTESE

After seven cookbooks under my belt, and having spent more than a little time on ranches, I’m not one of those people who think meat just magically shows up, plastic-wrapped, on grocery shelves. I’ve seen points of origin: i.e. live cows, lambs, chickens, pigs, even ostriches, and buffaloes. I’m well aware of the slaughter process for fowl and livestock that can often turn a carnivore into a vegan. The conversion, possibly, no big surprise, since it’s not unusual for someone cityborn and city-bred never to have had much opportunity to herd cattle, tour slaughterhouses, or visit meat-processing plants. More surprising to me — although, I don’t know why, since, in this day and age, it’s not all that likely that cityborn and city-bred are likely to have had ready access to a farm or orchard — has been how many people haven’t a clue as regards certain things about their fruits, vegetables, and nuts. This was no more fully brought home to me than when I requested that a banana plant with a bunch of bananas appear as part of the cover graphic for my novel SS MANHUNT which takes place in South America. The initial result was a bunch of bananas growing wrong-side-up. FYI: In reality, bunches grow pointing up, not down. More recently, while I was in Hawaii, I heard a woman all agog when confronted with a field of pineapples, one to a plant, when she’d always thought they grew on trees. Brussel sprouts, that look like little cabbages, do not grow one to a plant, like their larger-headed (used for coleslaw) cousins, but spiral along a stalk. Capers are the pickled or salt-packed flower buds of a thorny shrub that grows weed-like all along the Mediterranean coast. Hominy is made from whole kernels of corn that have first been soaked in lye or lime solution to loosen the hulls and soften the kernels. Try making it yourself, considering the necessity of using caustic alkalis, and it can be corrosively dangerous to your insides. Too many Brazil nuts (approximately 140) can kill you, in that the nut contains the radioactive toxin selenium. And that’s just to mention a few. So, the next time you’re out grocery shopping, think not only about the meat you buy (or don’t buy) but, also, about those available vegetables, nuts, and fruits. There are all sorts of interesting things, regarding the food you eat, about which you may really know nothing at all. —William Maltese is the author of seven cookbooks available at amazon.com

The Champagne in My Fridge WILLIAM MALTESE

Early on, I became an aficionado of champagne and of everywhere-else-in-the-world sparkling wine, beginning when my cousins and I absconded with a bottle at my brother’s wedding and finished it off under a buffet table in the kitchen. While my school days, through university, mainly revolved around beer and keggers, I could still be found, on many occasions, with a champagne bottle fisted in one hand and a plastic “glass” in the other. My military service at Yongsan District Command in Seoul, Korea, was self-indulgent in exploring the cheap liquors and liqueurs available, as well as the exotic drinks — think flaming pousse-café — that could be concocted from them. Although, that same time period accounted for my first discovery of pink champagne, at the Walker Hill resort, which, in turn, accounted for my first major hangover that was so bad I was determined not to roll my sorry ass out of bed to make reveille. I was saved from disciplinary action, possibly even court marshal, by the weather being so bad that reveille was called off. During my early writing days, you could find me, most afternoons, holed up and scribbling erotica in my group’s favorite Seattle watering hole, having ordered a bottle of its very cheap champagne, which I made more smoothly palatable by adding a spoonful of beer to each poured glass. While sailing around the world on P&O cruise ships, I drank Bollinger all of the way. I had Cristal at the Casino de Monte-Carlo in Monaco. You could find me drinking Moët & Chandon at the Golden Globe Awards (FYI: I had not been nominated). When I learned my co-author of Back of the Boat Gourmet Cooking had never tasted Dom Perignon, I bought her a bottle for her birthday, and, after her very first sip, she refused to share. I enjoyed Krug while hot-air ballooning over the vineyards of France. I sipped chilled Piper Heidsieck while staying at Le K2 Palace and skiing Courchevell1850, France. And, color me gobsmacked when I returned to my hometown — hinterland Spokane, Washington, U.S.A. — to discover that it had not one but two vintners who could boast production of a not-all-that-bad-at-all sparkling wine That said … When I walked over to my refrigerator and opened its door, just a minute ago, what I saw were two rows of chilling Veuve Clicquot … and a bottle of Segur Viudas Cava Brut, the latter brought back to me by friends from Spain. Veuve Clicquot has become my go-to every-day champagne. It’s delicious, doesn’t need a spoonful of beer to smooth it out, but doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg. Ever since I first had a taste of it, at a posh English country home lawn party, and started serving it at all my get-togethers, it has never disappointed. —William Maltese is the author of the WINE TASTER’S DIARY series of wine books which can be purchased on amazon. com

Hello my name is Dana Setola and I am an Independent Wellness Advocate with doTERRA What Are Essential Oils? If you have ever enjoyed the scent of a rose, you’ve experienced the aromatic qualities of essential oils. These naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Essential oils provide plants with protection against environmental threats and play a role in plant pollination. In addition to their intrinsic benefits to plants and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices. How Do I Use Essential Oils? Essential oils are used for a very wide range of emotional and physical wellness applications. They can be used a single oil at a time or in complex blends in one of three methods: Aromatic Certain essential oils, when diffused, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also cleanse and purify the air of unwanted odors. Topical Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically. Internal Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements for targeted wellness. Essential oils are both exciting and promising when it comes to taking care of your own and your family’s health. Whether you’re applying essential oils topically, enjoying the aromatic benefits through diffusing, or taking essential oils internally, the positive effects of essential oils are boundless. That’s why you’ll want to ensure that the essential oils you are using are capable of delivering on their promise. You’ll want to make sure that you are choosing essential oils for their potency and their purity. https://www.doterra.com/US/en/site/dsetola

Bridging the Gap With

Brenda J. Burgett “What do you mean I can only buy two rolls of toilet paper? There are no paper towels? What in the world is the matter with you people? I demand to talk to your manager! No way you are the manager. You are twelve years old. You can’t fool me now get me a manager!” Guess who that was? A good friend? Well there are just somethings you don’t ever need to admit to. It had been awhile since I had listened or watched any form of news, and Yes, I knew there was this virus thing but seriously? This is intended to find something positive or at least a relief from the truly serious event we are currently walking through. So please cut me some slack if I say something that is not funny in your opinion. I am wearing adorable little outfit coordinated masks and designer latex gloves. I practice social distancing unless you are someone I am use to hugging, in which case you may want to stop me from our usual hug. The masks are a slight concern when I start to feel faint after three trips down the grocery store isles. It occurred to me just before I lost consciousness, that we exhale carbon monoxide. Oh, no I may have asphyxiated myself in an effort to show respect for others and be the new Politically current person I am expected to me. I wonder if the expert has factored that in? I have become a kinder person with this stay at home and to shelter in place suggestion. There isn’t one speck of dirt in my , house or car. I cleaned my closet and I have three outfits that got to stay. When I see anyone that isn’t on my computer, I may go a little overboard? I tell them my life story since sometime in February, (of this year.) and my political view on the 1961 presidential election. I have learned that you must listen to what side of the canal your visitor is on, or it could get you hurt or at the very least blocked on social media. That is hard for me since I can see the merit with both sides of the jungle. So, it seems safe to talk about the 1961 election. It’s fun to watch the faces of my captive audience as they seem to be wondering if I may have been alone too long. The kindness in others is worth mentioning. I had a fellow shopper share their toilet paper with me. I got eight rolls and they kept eight. It was a tearful moment for both of us. The stores have special Be safe. times to shop, if you are a senior person. Just a word of caution for the weak of heart. Never crowd in line or ever accidently or on purpose go down the wrong direction of the lisle! It is painful to be rammed with a shopping card driven by a masked, gloved rusty- generation person. I should probably say I am a card-carrying member of the group. Recently I learned it was not permitted to sing without a mask while driving your car with the window down! I will pass this on for the good of tribes? We are a mostly, kind and generous nation. We show respect and care about our fellow earth travelers. This time will end and we pause to think about those who have lost their lives to this cruel virus. We will be grateful for what we have and stay tuned to the latest reports on what we can or cannot do. That can be forgone if we have a friend who likes to share the latest gloom or good stuff. Be safe my friends and remember kindness is what lasts! We can all be a force to bridge the gap of differences.

Wearing White Right By Cheryl Smith

We're after Memorial Day so we should be good right? The answer is pretty much as a consensus, yes. And just how was the mindset of not before Memorial Day or after labor Day set and who set it anyway? It was actually put in place around the 1930's when only the ultrarich and elite would sport their white linen and gabardine. The lighter clothing signified a look of leisure while the working class was mostly garbed in darker colors in those days. While there are many schools of thought most fashion experts have adopted; it really depends on the temperatures and the weight of the fabric. If it's still cooler white linen is definitely passe. However nowadays lighter fabrics in white are worn as early as Easter. The secret is if the temperatures are not warm to pair white with a jewel tone or something darker so you don't look like your off-season. And now we do have what's known as winter white. So many of us have adopted the practice of wearing white in the winter months as well. As for this personal stylist one of my favorite pairs of jeans are my white and I will wear them all the way through winter, as long as it's not sloppy, muddy and or extremely cold temperatures. According to Bronwyn Cosgrave, author of The Complete History of Costume & Fashion: From Ancient Egypt to the Present Day, fashion rules are meant to be broken by those who can pull it off, notes Cosgrave, and white "looks really fresh when people aren't expecting it." There is still one hard fast rule and that is you should never outshine the bride and wear white to a wedding. There are those who do and it is a huge mistake and disrespectful for the bride. After all the significance of wearing white to your wedding is to show the purity of the ceremony and the start of marriage union. So I say set your own fashion pace as white looks great on that tan and it looks fresh! Just remember to be cognizant of your fabric, and not covering yourself completely in white. That is definitely a fashion faux pas according to everything this stylist researched.

Skincare and Wellness By Daisy Vogt

Whether you are working as a managing executive; balancing school and a 9-5 job; or are a stay at home mom dealing with three kids, as women we often forget that our own skin can have such a huge impact in our outlook on life… That is, until the moment of truth is staring right back at us and we wonder where this person in the mirror came from? Not many of us will admit - but there is a point in most our lives when we looked in the mirror and saw a spot, wrinkle or baggy eyelid that was not there before. It is the first hint for many of us that we have not been taking care of ourselves as well as we should have. And even though we say that beauty starts on the inside – it is also widely accepted that if you are happy with what you see when you look in the mirror, it can have amazing benefits for your self-esteem and even for your mental health! In school, I do not remember being taught that our skin is an organ – but then again, maybe I just was not paying enough attention in biology. Now I scold myself, because this organ is our first line of defense against the dangers of this world and needs to be treated with so much more care than we tend to give it. There are two main points that need to be understood if you want to make sure your skin is getting what it needs. Some general knowledge and easy tweaks in daily habits can help you be so much more successful in helping this vital organ be the strongest it can be. First point, we must remember that every day we are bombarded with toxins, chemicals and bacteria that keep our skin working overtime. From blocking UV rays, to adjusting to temperature changes, blocking out poisonous chemicals and air pollutants – it NEVER gets a break! As women also often apply toxic products on their faces, and are more exposed to them in the household, it is even more important to be aware of this. And although it might be overwhelming to start ‘cleansing’ the house of toxins – it is never too early to start washing your face before bed, exfoliating once a week, and moisturizing and applying sunscreen daily! Plain and simple. Help your skin a little every day and you will start to see results! Once you are ready to take it to the next level, then I recommend you start doing more research. You will find that many products on the market are not typically the best. Most contain synthetic fragrances, parabens (preservatives), and even formaldehyde! You know - that stuff they put in dead people? Why would you want that on your skin? But there is hope, there are many products made with natural ingredients and proven to bring you the results desired! Look up what you need and check out the Think Dirty app before you buy anything, it will tell you exactly how safe it is to put on your face, body and hair. The second point that needs to be explored is what you feed your body. Teenagers are prone to acne, but then again most also live off fatty fast food, sugar and pizza. Could there be a connection? Many times, the dark circles under your eyes, acne outbreaks or dried skin can be solved by dietary adjustments such as adding greens, cutting dairy or increasing water intake. Since the skin is an organ it received its nutrition though our gut like all the others, giving it what it needs to keep its strength, elasticity and color could be a couple of tweaks away. Consistent little changes can lead to big results, so I encourage you to start making those adjustments. Apply that sunscreen before you leave house, it could help you have more time to spend with your family. Stop adding milk to your coffee and it could clear up your eczema and help you have more self-confidence. Take positive steps to make yourself feel better in your own skin and your life could take on a whole new form.

Interview with Samuel Joseph Donovan By Wanda Julian and Brenda Burgett

What was it like to be on Project Runway: Under The Gunn? It was really a dream come true. I was just out of college, very unsure of myself and my skills, and I was just thrilled to be able to put my experience pulling all-nighters to the test! Project Runway works in a way that was very similar to my working style back then--last minute ideas, and quick turnaround. I had a lot more fun designing on All-Stars 5, however, because on Under the Gunn I was still trying to sell a version of myself I thought the judges would like/take seriously. On All-Stars, I just had a lot of fun creating, and seeing where each design would take me. How would you describe yourself? I think it's surprising to a lot of people who have watched me on Project Runway over the years, but I am a massive introvert. I love people, but social situations can really be a drain on my energy levels over time. When did you realize you wanted to be a designer? I think it's an ongoing process of self-discovery, but if I had to choose one moment in time where I obsessed over a design element in a piece of clothing, it was watching Sleeping Beauty as a kid. In the film, two of the fairies fight over whether Sleeping Beauty's dress should be blue or pink--I have always been very adamant it should be the former, because pink is too expected for princesses.

How long have you been a designer? I mean, if we're judging from my Sleeping Beauty days, almost 25 years now! I jest. I probably started making and designing clothes consistently when I was 12 or 13, so I guess almost 17 years now. What would you want to be known for? I'm not sure I care to be "known" for anything, but I would love to help dismantle mass-consumption fast fashion. It's destroying the planet. Would you ever want to do reality TV again? I love reality TV. I have a serious competitive side from being raised in Boston, and I love interacting with the fans of the show who resonate with me. The best thing about being on the show was the connections I was able to make with people afterwards about our shared experiences. Who would you love to design for? I'm still trying to convince my mother to let me design something for her, but in the meantime, I'd honestly love to start making more of my own clothes. In terms of celebrities, I'd love to follow in Christian Siriano's footsteps of designing custom looks for people who feel like they're invisible to fashion. What do you consider your biggest challenge right now? My biggest challenge right now is choosing a next step. I've been a teacher for the past few years, but I've felt myself getting pulled in several different directions. I'm just hoping I can do a few more cool things in sustainable fashion design.

What do you do for fun? I write! I blog, I write short stories; I love creating characters. I think that's why I love fashion design: every design is a new chance to tell a story. I also rank and recap RuPaul's Drag Race with my friend Lucas (aka, Shakaren) on my YouTube channel to pass the time during this crazy social isolation period. What makes you happy? My younger cousins provide a lot of ridiculous social media content for me to laugh at. Also: dogs and cats. What are you passionate about? Ridding the world of fast fashion & Sleeping Beauty's dress being blue. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I don't know, maybe Germany. Maybe married to an unspeakably wealthy Parisian artist. Either way, I hope I'll be in better shape than I am now. My social media is @samueljdonovan on twitter and instagram, and my youtube channel is Samuel Donovan
