PUBLISHER'SLETTER


festivals and time spent on the beach or at a lake. But I’m even more excited this month to announce that the Natural Nutmeg 10BEST Awards are right around the corner!


S Our fi rst annual reader-nominated 10Best Awards


last year was a huge hit! It brought a ton of awareness for Holistic Businesses and Practitioners and Natural Nutmeg throughout the state and we received amazing feedback from the winners and readers. Many business owners in categories like Natural Product Companies, Spas, Wineries, Breweries, and Farm-to-Table restaurants said they just discovered the magazine and didn’t realize their customers were avid readers and fans. Because of this we were able to increase our advertiser demographic and distribution!


As a Natural Nutmeg reader, you will have the opportunity to nominate


your favorite holistic practitioner or business in 20 categories listed on page 18. Nominations will take place between September 1st-15th through an online survey tool that will be announced in the September issue. Winners will be announced in late September.


We will be showcasing the 10BEST in each category in a special additional issue released in December 2018. This issue will also include articles, ads, business profi les and a holistic practitioner directory that you can keep and use for all of 2019.


And we have some great articles this month on healthy eating while dining out, summer skincare tips, seasonal fruits and veggies, and maximizing your mental, emotional and physical potential!


In Health and Happiness,


ummer is here and I’m excited because it’s my favorite season – I love the warm weather, farm fresh fruits and veggies, farm to table dinners,
