We’ve had a tremendous response to our first issue of Milieu. You let us know that you’re very interested in reading a publication for smart women that focuses on the positive side of life.
In this issue, we did some tweaking, doubling the size of our fashion, family and health sections and added a not-to-to be-missed centerspread. I’m not giving anything else away.
In our cover story, Alex Karcev brings three Long Island women’s stories to life, channeling Angelina Jolie. It’s always interesting to see how other people live, and these women are a sampling of some of the energetic and forward-thinking women that live on Long Island.
The cover was a concept that revolves around spring and the emergence of all kinds of life on Long Island. We didn’t have to look any further than Merrick for our cover model, Jamie Hille. Not only is Jamie the Marketing and PR Manager at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island, she’s a wife and mother of two, owns www.Jamessina.com and Hille Design. If you turn to page 22, you’ll also see Jamie channeling her inner Angelina during her Crossfit Training class.
We want to bring you the right mix of stories and features in our upcoming issues that include the three important elements that most women continually juggle: Family, Ourselves and Career.
I’m learning that the right balance in Milieu will happen over a period of time, just like in life.
Collectively, there is nothing that we can’t accomplish, so let’s get together and make some noise on Monday, June 25th at Tanger at the Arches in Deer Park from 6-8 pm. If you haven’t been to a Fortune 52 networking event yet, we’d love to see you there.
Enjoy the issue!
