As a mother, it makes sense my life — revolve around my children!

I mean, sure…we have the master icons of the ages such as Conde Nast and Hearst, in addition to the other greats such as O Magazine. However, these magazines definitely catered to an  adult audience. Where were the beauty, fashion, style “MagaT(w)eens – a multicultural tween & teen magazine” as an enthusiastic resources with the mission to motivate our multicultural tween & teen daughters?
