Fresh Perspective

With a fast-approaching Carnival season upon us, we have what feels like zero time between the holidays and parading to settle into the new year, take time to reflect and set intentions for 2024. (See Shop Talk on pg. 10 for transitional décor help.) We often hear it said that we should not simply focus on making healthy lifestyle changes as a resolution or just for the new year, but take a more holistic approach and make small edits to our daily routine that we may actually stick with and fully incorporate.

Our wellness guru Molly Kimball brings you this perspective in a fun and interesting way in our feature on adding 12 healthy habits to your routine (which can be done either monthly, all at once or whenever you see fit). It’s an approachable and actionable guide to taking little steps to benefit your overall wellbeing. Molly’s tips are simple and provide concrete examples on how these edits can make a huge impact.

Throughout this issue we cover other healthy lifestyle tips, from stylish fitness fashion and gear choices from local shops to a “healthy-ish” favorite recipe from The Chloe.

The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Luncheon, celebrating the organization’s centennial year, is our featured cover event. Heart disease and stroke are our nation’s number one and five killers, and your support helps fund lifesaving research, advocate for healthier communities and improve patient care. Wear your red, donate and learn more by visiting heart.org/nolagored.

Cheers to the new year!
