The BEat
Everything Lifestyle: Fashion & Beauty, Food & Health, Entertainment, Travel and everything in between…
“Beauty, health, fashion, and lifestyle are not the enemy of faith. When approached with wisdom, they reflect the creativity, order, and excellence of the One who made us. Grounded in Scripture and the knowledge that God is both Creator and Designer, this column explores the intersection of faith and everyday life through thoughtful reporting, expert insight, and practical wisdom.”
The September Edit: Keep, Change, Add
September has always felt more like a new year than January. In this month’s editorial, Kara Alloway takes a fresh look at fall style through a simple edit: what to keep, what to change, what to add, what to let go of and where it’s worth investing. Because maybe a new season isn’t about becoming someone new. Maybe it’s simply about making room for what matters.
