As a mom-to-be, I encourage others to read Jessica Iclisoy’s article Baby on Board (page 36), which outlines various ways to prepare for your baby, both physically and mentally. This is a wonderful guide for expectant mothers in preparation for the arrival of their bundle of joy. Turn to page 32, Natural Beauty Head to Toe, for skincare regimens and for a holistic guide to looking your best. Including foods that include antioxidants and which foods can help strengthen and lengthen nails and hair, and much more. And, if you’re wondering which foods can help reju- venate skin and support new cell growth in the body, turn to page 24, Foods for Ageless Beauty by Renee Loux.

Wishing you all a love filled mother’s day to all of the two and four legged moms out there!
Peace, Love & Blessings,
am overjoyed to announce that this month marks Natural Awakenings’ third anniversary! Since its incep-
tion, Natural Awakenings has become the number one publication for holistic resources throughout Long Island—each issue contains new content I am con- tinually excited about sharing with the community. Over the years, I have met so many wonderful friends and small businesses through the magazine—and look forward to many more. May is also a significant month for me because it’s not only my second wedding anniver- sary but we are also expecting our first baby. She is due this August 14th
! It’s no
coincidence you may feel the excite- ment and extra ‘tlc’ in this issue.
Our theme this month is Women’s Wellness, and I want to take a moment to dedicate this issue to all the very special women out there, as this month and issue truly celebrates and honors each and every one of you.
