We first met former editor, Camille Tisdol, of Charge Magazine a few years back at a fashion event at Thrive.  Stylishly driven, we were super excited to have her magazine not only cover our pre-show event for the Georgia Music Awards, but also feature our Creative Director, Shane Smith on the cover for a featured article. As one of two heading the magazine label, Tisdol’s magazine was geared toward girls mostly between 11-21, and provided fashion and style tips, beauty, and even school and early career advice.   And as an editor, Tisdol’s work often involved generating story ideas, and writing feature stories and department columns, along with editing copy. We had a chance to catch up with Camille to ask for her top 3 Pros and Cons of running a magazine to share with you - you know, for all you budding moguls out there.  Find the info helpful?  Be sure to LIKE or SHARE on Facebook or Twitter! Thanks, darling. :)

Whether your start of spring is marked by blooming blossoms or budding festivals, spring is officially here!

If you've never heard of Americasmart, its a Style Lover's dream filled with over 70 million square feet of showroom space for displaying everything from trendy clothing to unique gifts and high-end rugs.  With Atlanta hosting one of the country’s largest markets, buyers flocked to Atlanta from around the world to shop the season's chicest styles for their shops and boutiques.  Check out the top trends from the Apparel Mart’s 2019 Spring/Summer runway show below.  If you like any of the looks, be sure to LIKE or SHARE on Facebook or Twitter!  Thanks, dahling. :)

So you’ve taken those fancy barre classes, but it just hasn’t filled that deep inner desire that you’d dare not share with a living soul - not as a fully functioning adult. And that deep, dark secret is that you still dream of being a beautiful ballerina with athletic grace gliding through the air like a swan? (Or whatever your version is.)  Well, chin up kid.  Ballet isn’t just for babies.  And it’s not just for a particular body type.  Although you may never become proficient enough to perform professionally (but hey, nothing’s impossible), there is nothing to stop you from learning ballet.  Read on to discover how you can channel your inner Misty Copeland to learn how to start ballet as a grown ass adult.  Find any of the tips helpful, be sure to LIKE or SHARE on Facebook or Twitter.  Merçi. :)
