Letter From The Editor-In-Chief: February Self-Discovery Issue
Dear BELLA Readers,
Welcome to our 2025 Self-Discovery and Relationship Issue! In this issue, we invite you on a journey of inner exploration and profound connection as we uncover the beauty and strength that lies within us all. At BELLA, we believe that true self-discovery and meaningful relationships go hand in hand, and this issue celebrates that delicate balance.
We’re thrilled to have the incredibly talented Poppy Liu gracing our cover. Poppy’s inspiring journey of self-love and personal growth has captivated audiences worldwide, and her commitment to authenticity makes her the perfect muse for this issue. In our exclusive interview, Poppy shares her insights on redefining success, standing firm in her values, and the pivotal role of self-discovery in cultivating deeper connections with others.
As you flip through the pages, you’ll find an array of empowering stories and expert advice centered on self-love and personal development. From redefining what it means to truly love oneself, to exploring the transformative power of gratitude and mindfulness, our contributors offer a treasure trove of wisdom to support you on your own journey.
One particular highlight is our feature on how to nurture healthy, fulfilling relationships—whether with partners, friends, or family. These stories remind us that while relationships can be complex and nuanced, the keys to thriving connections often start from a place of mutual understanding, empathy, and, most importantly, love for oneself.
We live in a fast-paced world and it’s easy to get lost in the noise of external demands and expectations. We encourage you to take a moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your true self. After all, self-discovery isn’t a destination; it’s a lifelong journey—a beautiful collection of experiences that shape us into who we are.
As you delve into our Self-Discovery and Relationship Issue, we hope you find stories that resonate, perspectives that inspire, and a renewed sense of love for yourself and those around you. Because at BELLA, we believe that the most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself.
With heartfelt gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead,
Vanessa Coppes
CEO + Editor-in-Chief
