How do I start an editor’s letter for a magazine that will never be published? How do I leave a job that I love, a team I adore and a community of readers that I receive so much inspiration from? How do I step down from an editorship that has meant so much to me? These are questions I’ve come up against each time I have sat down to write this editor’s letter, my last as editor of Gritty Pretty.

As a beauty editor, I’ve noticed that when we talk about the glow, we’re almost always talking about the way our skin looks on a surface level. But what does healthy—or unhealthy—skin actually tell us about the rest of our health? We’ve all heard the adage that our skin is our largest organ, and it’s true—the skin weighs more than three kilograms and accounts for about 15% of total body weight. So surely it’s an indicator of more than just the fact that we’ve nailed our five-step skincare routine?

Is Pilates in particular a good outlet for stress? “At Fluidform, we connect breathing techniques with controlled, targeted movements which require deep concentration and muscle activation. We use our inhale to prepare for each movement, and our exhale to move, which can be highly meditative and stress-relieving. When you allow yourself to consider your breath and move mindfully, you are releasing endorphins (positive hormones) and reducing cortisol (stress hormones).

From Instagram carousel posts promising you the secret to self-discovery, to breathwork, yoga retreats, and courses in doing ‘the work’—it seems like everywhere we turn, the message is for us to go inwards and connect to the self. But what does that really mean?

If you haven’t had the pleasure of venturing outside of the cities of New York or Los Angeles, this is a sign you should. But with 50 states across the United States of America, it can be hard to know where to start. As a fellow Australian, Oregon has to be on your list, and I highly recommend a stay in Portland, the most populous—and the coolest—county in the state. A frontier river town, Portland is home to excellent bars, mountain ranges, a coffee culture to rival Melbourne and so much more.
