International model Elizabeth Wood is proudly half-Korean and half Italian, Irish and English. At 22, the Utah native lives in Los Angeles, where she lives with her fur baby, Panda. This energetic adventurer is pursuing both fashion and entertainment dreams, working as a model and studying acting. A longtime creator, she plays piano and guitar, sings, draws and paints. When she’s not creating or taking care of her heart and soul — through exercise and meditation — she’s off on an adventure to fully experience the magic and fragility of life. TELL US, WHO IS ELIZABETH WOOD? I am a 22-year-old Utah native living in Los Angeles with my fur baby Panda. I’m half Korean, half Italian/Irish/English. I moved to LA at 18 to pursue my dreams in fashion and…

PHOTOGRAPH BY MOTOKI TONN; MINDFUL WALK WITH ANN MARIE A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out IF YOU HAD TOLD ME at the beginning of January while tanning in Mexico, that a short time later, I would be advised to shelter at home to avoid contracting a deadly virus, I would have said….. huh? It was a shock to the system like the South Pacific sun my first day on the beach. If there was ever a time to do some soul searching about the future, it was then. Whatever your plans for the first quarter of 2020, they were unceremoniously canceled by March, depending on where you lived. How did this happen? Was it a bat? Or an experiment that…

PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIS ROBERTS Keep your heels & head & standards high WHERE DOES IT COME FROM, who has it, and how do we get it? Like soul love, it cannot be bought! Insecurity and confidence are frequently disguised in each other, and oftentimes both hide our true selves. We usually feel the most confident about ourselves when things are going well in our lives. Your career is great. Great partner. Happy marriage. It puts the sync into our lives and when things seem to be going well for an extended period of time, then woohoo! You haven’t had to deal with one internal thing. I remember when the stock market crashed in 2008, I knew many people who lost a lot of money, as well as their jobs. Freak…

Butterflies go through a transformation we know as metamorphosis. Although we may not go through as drastically a physical change, we experience many transformations that test us and make us who we are throughout our lives. 2020 has truly been a transformative period, as we’ve seen a global pandemic, marches for racial equality and an end to racism, and economic, education and housing crises. This time has been difficult, and it will shape not only our personal lives but the world. We may not be the same people we once were, and perhaps, if we focus on the glass as half full, we may transform for the better. We mustn’t be afraid to live. This time has shown us acts of empathy and kindness. Individuals wear masks, not to protect themselves,…

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MARIO BERBERIO MARIOBARBERIO.COM@MARIOBARBERIOPHOTOS The best foundation you can wear is healthy glowing skin Tell us about yourself? My name is Eileen Sandoval. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and grew up in the San Gabriel Valley. I’m a professional celebrity makeup artist of just over ten years. I originally went to school for psychology but didn’t finish when I realized how much more fun I could have to pursue a career in makeup instead. I gained experience working with a photographer on my portfolio and taking clients for special events and photoshoots. You have worked with so many celebrities, is there one beauty belief that they all have in common? It’s all begins with good skin; taking care of their skin and health is one of…

Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends…

IT DID NOT FALL APART ALL AT ONCE. My life, that is. It was more like a painful deterioration… a horror movie in slow motion where your soul is grappled by every intense moment, and just when you think you are out of danger, you get punched in the face again and again. I was at the top of my game in early 2017. What a badass I was! In my career, I was heading up an extensive portfolio valued at $3 trillion, as an executive director at the largest financial services firm in the world—the only woman of Latin descent who had reached that level in the history of my division of more than 600 employees. I had a solid partnership moving into two decades, stellar children who excelled in…

PHOTOGRAPH BY EVIE S To be human means you can mold situations the way you want them HISTORY HAS A WAY of repeating itself from fashion to music to style. From the ashes of war comes peace, and from despair comes hope. The current time tests our humanistic ability to survive on multiple levels simultaneously, like no other time in history. We have had pandemics in the past with more significant life loss but never with the state of our federal and local governments in such disarray and millions of individuals suffering from unemployment. With people and small businesses dealing with losses, the wealth gap becomes even more disproportionate. It is a time that has given rise to civil disobedience, national protests calling for equal rights, and national dialogue around…
