Dear Reader,

Summer is in full swing and VIVmag‘s July/August issue is hot, hot, hot with surefire strategies to keep you styling, smiling and fit throughout this sizzling season. For starters, July is UV-Awareness Month, an awesome excuse to check out posh, protective eyewear (view our favorites on page 229 of the July/August issue). We know you’re aware of how to protect the skin you’re in, but don’t forget to mind your mane. This issue‘s “Image Rx column, Taming of the Tresses,” shows you how to revive scorched and fried hair, as well as how to protect it from the sand and sea (and pool!).

It’s been a year since many of you downloaded VIVmag‘s Premier issue. As you once again flip your way through summer awareness, beauty, fitness, food, health, style and travel, please take a moment to share your thoughts, comments, questions and overall feedback. Help us help you continue to discover the way to live.

Cheers,

Anne M. Russell
