Dear BELLAs,

I am thrilled to bring you our February issue dedicated to relationships and self-love. Within these pages, you will find inspiration, insights, and fabulous stories that will guide you on a path to building healthier connections and nurturing a stronger relationship with yourself.

At BELLA, we believe in empowering our readers to create and maintain meaningful relationships that enrich their lives. To kickstart this empowering journey, I am so excited to feature the incredible Tamsen Fadal, an Emmy award-winning journalist, author, and powerful advocate for empowering women everywhere. Tamsen's wisdom and expertise will leave you feeling motivated and ready to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and love.

This issue explores various dimensions of relationships - from romantic partnerships to friendships and the delicate balance between work and personal life. Our talented writers and contributors have captured the essence of modern relationships, offering practical advice and heartfelt stories that will resonate with readers of all walks of life.

But this issue, however, is not just about external connections; it is also about fostering a deep, lasting relationship with yourself. We dive into the importance of self-love, self-care, and personal growth, urging you to prioritize your own well-being and happiness. Often, we forget to nurture the most important relationship in our lives – the one we have with ourselves. I encourage you to take a moment, grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine), and dive into these pages—a gentle reminder to love yourself fiercely and unconditionally.

Remember, love begins within. It is the endless reserve of strength and resilience that enables us to form strong bonds with others. Embracing ourselves fully and fiercely allows us to attract and nurture the relationships that truly matter to us.

May this February issue be a resource, showing you the transformative power of love - starting with the love you have for yourself.

Wishing you a month filled with love, growth, and meaningful connections!

Warmly,

Vanessa Coppes

CEO + Editor-In-Chief
