Katarina’s Letter Wow, wow, wow! We survived 2020! Now, this year has manifested a ton of changes across the globe for nearly everyone, in good and bad ways. Society has been drastically changing in front of our eyes as the “new norm” is becoming, well, the “norm”, and many wonder where this is taking us. Here at VIVA GLAM Magazine, we have also done a lot of restructuring, re-planning, and soul searching. Throughout this process, we discovered the importance of trying to focus on what is important and what is not, as now more than ever, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. So, we feel a responsibility to deliver inspiration and educational content for all our readers- our loyal readers and new readers alike. While the majority of the world is shifting more towards the digital age, I must admit I love seeing that there are still many brands, more than before the pandemic, that started to value the “good old world”, such as tangible print, shooting on film, and more, which you can read about in my article “Retro Things That Are Making People Happy Again”. So, the one good thing that I feel came out of this global hardship is that people started to value the physical world after many parts of it were taken away from us. In the years to come, I hope to see more of this, as well as the manifestation of more love, kindness, and empathy. I wish you all health and happiness.
