Editor's Letter

What a summer it has been! Las Vegas Woman magazine has a new publisher, Stephanie Kocher. With new ideas, our vision remains to educate, entertain and inspire.

It is summertime and a time for vacations, recreation and fun. It is also a time to grow as a person, explore new opportunities and celebrate.

What a beautiful time of year to be living in Southern Nevada. As I drive around our community, I am always in awe of our majestic mountains that surround the valley and the flowers that bloom this time of year.

One of my most favorite times is the season of the New Year. I’m one of those that watch the New Year’s Eve fireworks...

What a summer it has been! Our graphics team at 702West (husband and wife) had a baby girl during the time the magazine was being laid out. However, kudos to their incredible staff that worked tirelessly to create our amazing Fall issue.

As a long-time resident of Southern Nevada, I personally love the heat and the dog days of summer. I love the bright sunshine, pool season, warm nights and clear skies. With our summer issue, we explore health care, fashion and vacations, as well as our professionals in the legal field.

Southern Nevada, with its diverse environment, showcases the majestic mountains, glistening lakes and beauty of the desert landscape.

What a year it has been so far. Grace Grabel came into our lives, and I must admit I am a little envious of all of her adventures so far.

Summertime and the living is fun

Spring time is a beautiful time of renewal with bursts of color both in nature and in fashion. Even in Southern Nevada, there are plants in full bloom and the weather is just perfect. Las Vegas Woman magazine celebrates with inspirational women, beauty ideas and places to enjoy.
