I'm Back From Outter Space...

Well peeps, I think I am re-entering the world of sanity… maybe… After months of feeling like I’ve been locked in a padded cell, for my own safety, countless sleepless nights and a number of bottles of bubbly. The magazine is on the printing press and there is nothing more that I can do, so its time to breath and hopefully relax albeit for only a day or too.

But looking forward the silly season is approaching fast and I for one cannot wait…
It means “we’re going on a summer holiday, no more working for a week or two….” And man I can’t wait, it’s been one ball buster of a year, so I’m in some serious need of Sun, Sand, Surf and Fun… not to mention sleep.

It’s that time of year where you are allowed to be crazy and spontaneous, you are encouraged to over indulge and be merry. Even friends who are separated by millions of cubic tones of water are able to feel closer to each other, even while missing them terribly, simply because you know they are doing the same things you are, just in a different time zone.

I don’t care that Santa was created by Coca Cola, Christmas just wouldn’t be the same with out jolly old St Nic, and my dad telling me to leave out a mince pie and a coke….

I can’t wait to put up the tree, sprinkle it with decorations and give it some personality in lights, to spoils those who are close to me and say thanks for putting up with me and sticking around to see what comes next☺

It’s Here!

Well I'm back in action and in the full swing of things, after a few relaxing day’s soaking up the sun, catching up on some really needed sleep, getting watered, fed and scratched, I’m back to tackle the challenges head on!

But First…I must gloat and blow my own trumpet as they say…I’m proud to announce the arrival of Private Edition Issue 8, isn’t it just amazing!



It gives me a real sense of accomplishment to receive copies of each magazine once it's finished and printed. It makes all the hard work, blood, sweat and tears all worth it in the end.

And who would have thought, me in the magazine industry, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better place to end up. Especially because I knew my dreams of becoming a Rock Star weren’t going to ever come true. But honestly I had imagined myself in events management, or something along those lines, never once did magazines, fashion, writing or publishing ever enter my mind. But I have opened a door to a world or possibilities and loving every minute of experience I can get.

And people lets get one thing straight right from the beginning, the world of magazines is not what you see on ‘Ugly Betty’!

It is a lot of hard work, generally long hours and things don’t just work themselves out, there is someone slaving away trying to make it happen and to make deadline, going above and beyond. And no it's not all high fashion and cocktail parties, but every once in a while there just might be an invitation to a little something something.

But for now I will bask in the after glow of a job while done, just for a little longer, before putting my head down and getting to work on the next fabulous issue of Private Edition.
