letter from the editor
This October, The G.O.O.D.S Magazine is proud
to participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United
States will DEVELOP breast cancer at some point
during THEIR life. After skin cancer, breast cancer
is the most common TYPE of cancer in women. The
good news is that many women can survive breast
cancer if it’s DISCOVERED and treated early.
Halloween is such a fun time of year, no wonder it’s
growing by leaps and bounds. To have your share
of fun while not investing a fortune on costumes
and props, think resale! Consignment, resale, and
thrift shops collect costumes and things that could
make great costumes all year, so don’t go buy some
flimsy outfit made in some sweat shop somewhere.
Think PREcycling: don’t add to the waste stream
with another mass-produced cheap costume for your
child or yourself. Think creatively: think recycled.
FWSD is upon us and we’re very excited to be involved
once again this year. We’ve sat down with Fashion Week
San Diego’s Director Allison Andrews for the inside
scoop. Allison is doing a phenomenal job and I would
like to thank her for all she’s done for The G.O.O.D.S
Magazine. I would also like to acknowledge the instructors
and students at Bellus Academy for all the hard work
they’ve done on hair makeup for FWSD. It’s always a
pleasure working with them. Special shout-out to Latera
and Kristina for doing a GOODS job on KUSI San Diego
news segment. I truly hope you enjoy the October issue.
Big things are coming in the future of The G.O.O.D.S
Magazine. Make sure you download our NEW IPHONE
APP in the iTunes APP Store. Our staff has been working
extremely hard to source a more economical option for
our readers to access our publication and with the new
app we have drastically reduced the cost for you—enjoy!
