Enjoy :-)

Ageless Living Magazines is seeking Products To Profile/Feature in December Edition

QUERY: Seeking products to feature in a 2-3 page product profile/feature in the Ageless Living Los Angeles and Ageless Living Manhattan Editions. The articles will incorporate a "Review From the Editor" as well as a Q&A with Brand Founder, usually 2 pages. Brands that are woman-owned and wellness-focused take priority but open to all brands that would fit an elevated lifestyle magazine. Other articles I am doing include a sunscreen brand, salon brand, etc. Please no alcohol, as that does not fit my lifestyle. Open to create options!
