I really believe that 2009 is going to be a year where we focus on the people we love and our environment, and become more resourceful and creative in our lives. This month, we've got plenty of ideas to help you do just that. Our beauty team did an outstanding job of compiling our guide to looking good for less, showing that you can pick up great skincare and make-up products on a budget. Our fashion pages are filled with great holiday buys, and you'll find mouth-watering food ideas, including some delicious seafood dishes and salads, in our lifestyle section. I hope you enjoy this issue, and I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year.
