66 www.CharlestonWomenPodcast.com | www.ReadCW.com | www.Instagram.com /CharlestonWomen We are often quick to celebrate women doing incredible things in business. We applaud projects that are finance or power-based – which we absolutely should. It’s amazing to see strong women breaking glass ceilings, excelling in their fields and providing for themselves and their families. However, sometimes more artistic fields can get overlooked. Artists put blood, sweat and tears into their crafts for painstaking years but often receive little in return for their efforts. Yet, everyone loves a great painting, a good book or a beautiful melody. This space was carved out in the magazine to appreciate women in all different branches of the arts. We see this as a platform to promote, celebrate and acknowledge those making the world better in unconventional ways — ways we aren’t always encouraged to pursue, or to only “do on the side.” However, these out-of-the-box masters of creativity are who some of us are born to be. What would the world be without expression of life through visual mediums, poetry, dance, craftsmanship or music? We at Charleston Women Magazine encourage all of our readers to embrace their fellow females who are out there adding color to our lives. This color might be in the form of brush strokes on a canvas, words on a page, melodies in a song or movement in a body. It might be something we haven’t even thought of yet. But whatever it is, it deserves a moment in the spotlight — a moment to inspire, a moment to aspire and a moment to just be admired. Charleston Women in the Arts SAY GOODBYE TO DULL LIZARD SKIN WITH THESE FOUR WINTER TRICKS + 1 SHOCKING ONE YOUR SHOULDN’T DO. Reach for a humidifier to prevent dry air from zapping moisture from your skin while you sleep. 1 Stop washing your face with a sudsy cleanser. Try a cleansing balm that won’t strip or dry out your skin at night. In the morning, simply rinse away the night with a cool wet cloth instead of cleansing. 2 Wake up to supple, plump skin by glazing up like a donut before bed with a multitasking beauty balm like Clean Slate. 3 Switch to a body oil and apply when skin is slightly damp to seal in hydration. 4 5 Find your new skincare favorites at MeTimeBotanicals.com or pop by NEW Me Time Botanicals Spa in Avondale for our Signature Me Time Facial with Microcurrent for the ultimate holiday glow up.
