Inside Tempted Issue 1 | Page 6

I'm so excited to be launching our very 1st issue of "Inside Tempted" Tempted's online magazine.

I’ve always enjoyed pushing myself and our business out of it’s comfort zone. When we opened Tempted 10 years ago I had never stood behind the till of a boutique, I had never gone on buying trips, I had never helped customers choose the perfect outfit - I had no experience in fashion retail whatsoever apart from being a customer. But I did have a huge passion for Curvy Fashion and a really strong belief that every woman regardless of their size, be it a 16, a 22 or a 28, deserves and has a right to feel good about themselves, and as women, what we wear is such an important part of that. So Tempted was born!

Since then we’ve undertaken lots of different projects, each one pushing ourselves beyond what we ever could have thought possible. This magazine is no exception. I’m not going to lie to you, putting a magazine together when you’re not a publisher has been hard work but it’s been so much fun too. So why a magazine? Well for us Tempted is about a lot more than clothes, it’s about an experience, and "Inside Tempted" will be another part of that experience.
