It's official -- the new look of Southern Living is on the newsstands today with our October issue!
We've been working hard on the new Southern Living. As our Editor-In-Chief Eleanor Griffin sums it up:
“We’ve listened to thousands of our readers and we know that the Southern woman is changing. She is embracing the future as much as she values the traditions of the past. She is busier than ever and wants to cultivate her own Southern style in a new, modern way."
The new Southern Living has 15 new franchises. These include features like "Mama's Way, Your Way," which highlights a traditional Southern recipe and a more streamlined version, and "Made By Southern Hands," a roundup of stylish products made in the South.
In Healthy Living we are thrilled to debut "Lighten Up In," in which we spotlight healthy activities to do in great Southern cities. This month we feature New Orleans. (think: less Bourbon Street and more exploring on foot and eating fresh local seafood). Yes, it can be done. October's Healthy Living also features a Q&A with Domenica Catelli, chef and author of Mom-a-Licious: Fresh, Fast Family Food For The Hot Mama in You. Domenica shares her secrets to looking and feeling good, including recipes. Both of these are just the first of many we're excited about. We're looking forward to continuing to share stories about enjoying all that we love about the South, with an emphasis on taking small steps to health and balance. As always, we want to hear your ideas about healthy living in the South. Let us know! And thanks for reading. Related Links: Video Tour of Southern Living's New Look
