Editor’s Lettter
NATURAL LUXURY is the focus of our August
2014 edition of Luxe Beat Magazine. What is natural
luxury? Our editorial team had a lengthy discussion
about the topic and decided it is more than just a
beautiful sun kissed beach or the face of a beautiful
woman. It is more than that. It goes beyond what can
be discovered in the open air because at the end of
the day, everything we enjoy has come from the
natural elements that surround us.
It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t showcase Mother
Nature just a little bit, in this Natural Luxury
edition and contributor Debi Lander takes our
readers to the Grand Canyon. Our Creative
Director Benjamin Bennett did an exceptional job
on the layout of this article, it really feels like
you’re there.
