In our winter issue, we explore how open conversation, evidence-based care, and evolving research are reshaping the way women navigate perimenopause and menopause — from hormone therapy to fitness, mental health, and long-term wellness. Featuring expert insight from and , this story reframes menopause not as an ending, but as a powerful moment to refocus on health and longevity.

After a personal health wake-up call in her 30s, Adriana Green started her own natural, botanically rooted line of skincare. 🌿

Inspired by her mother’s homeland of Nicaragua, products use organic and wildcrafted botanicals, unrefined oils, and are Leaping Bunny certified. From face oils and mists to mineral soaks and seasonal perfumes, each product combines wellness, beauty, and intentional scent.

Her advice for newcomers to plant-based skincare? Keep it simple. “Our skin and our bodies are amazing — they don’t need much. Give it stuff that can help support it.”

At en Forme, we’re thankful for the stories (and the people!) that make Virginia so special — like the farmer behind in Augusta County, who began raising turkeys just five years ago on his family’s 25-acre homestead between Staunton and Harrisonburg. Since then, he’s built a thriving social media presence while working to revive heritage turkey breeds so rare that few have ever heard of them.

This Thanksgiving, we’re celebrating tradition, resilience, and the beauty of local farms that keep Virginia’s spirit — and tables — full. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at ! 🧡🍂
