Isn’t It About Time for U?
You is a very simple word that does and means so much. You spend your life taking care of family, friends and the community as a whole. But who is looking out for your best interest? That is what U Magazine is for. It’s all about you.
While you are busy taking care of the myriad of things that consume your time it is easy to forget and even neglect oneself. The purpose of U is to bring oneself back into perspective. U will entertain and educate you on all the things to improve your life – things often neglected like health, weight management, esthetics, fashion and even holistic applications to ensure you can indeed be you at all times. U is an interesting letter in the alphabet. It is one of the most used vowels, yet overlooked. Just reading this text you might be surprised how many times it has already been used. And isn’t it about time someone looked after U?
