Good morning everyone! Happy Monday! I'd love to know who sees these posts. It seems of the tens of thousands of followers, less than 100 people are seeing this. Let's fix that!
Mexican cinema is one of the most prolific and mesmerizing realms of filmmaking. From small visionaries to Oscar winners, the world seen through the Mexican lens is one to celebrate.
We believe the power of story exists in many forms. The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema brought Mexican film to the forefront, and while the nostalgia of times passed continues to leave an indelible mark, modern cinema is quickly rising in the ranks. But in order to appreciate where we’re heading, it’s important to remember where it began. In an article titled, The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema: A Short History, Lauren Cocker writes, “Mexican cinema in recent years has gone from strength to strength, but it’s yet to live up to the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema that spanned from 1936-1959.

One day and night really can make a difference. To celebrate my birthday early, my partner Jason and I escaped to @discoverojai where we stayed at the quaint and cool @ojairanchoinn sipping cocktails with Kalli—the most joyful bartender—at #chiefspeakbar.
We needed a day and night away and this little gem is under an hour away and far enough to feel the true feeling of escape.

“The ability to see beyond the scope of limitations is the playfulness behind DeJesus’ art”
From the moment we come into this world, we are surrounded in artistic elements from those born in nature to those that exist in color palettes, textures, and every element of #design. #Art is the threshold at which an element of the human species is completely stripped down into its most honest and beautiful form—and it becomes the catalyst to our soaring #imagination.
If we’re lucky, we are aware of art and its influence on us as young children and inevitably, throughout our lives. And the more we expose ourselves to the power and unification of art, we invite a sense of purpose and inspiration that is rarely found in any other outlet.
Artist and model, Kim DeJesus is the kind of artist and creative being that is able to tap into the innocence and unexplored beauty existing in the rawness of art.

BOURBON + THE HIGHWAY QUEEN
*Recipes in article*
Last month, Los Angeles got a beverage and musical treat by way of #NikkiLane @nikkilane77 and @georgedickel Dickel Bourbon’s, NicoleAustin. Select guests were invited to partake of original #bourbon #cocktails and the musical swagger of Lane, whose musical stylings are reminiscent of Carol King and Johnny Cash with a touch of Tom Petty, a little Sheryl Crow, and her own fearless and unapologetic spirit. In an intimate performance, Lane grabbed her guitar and played some of her most notable songs, including those now available on her third album, #HighwayQueen.
Lane has been #traveling the Pacific Northwest, taking in the sights, fishing when she can, and exploring the lush green of Oregon to the concrete jungle of LA. “Highway Queen is a journey through heartbreak that takes exquisite turns.”

May today be a day where you celebrate being alive.
In this nation, we work tirelessly just to get by, but sometimes we need to take a breath and remember to pause.
We shouldn’t celebrate having a day off — today we should be perfectly okay with laying low and being present. And we should always take time away to honor how hard we’ve worked just so we can enjoy more living.

🌈 For those that do not know, I’ve been running ATOD Magazine completely on my own since it began.
🌈 I’ve not had an editorial assistant, marketing team, publicist, or creative team on staff permanently (but I plan to).
🌈 I have poured my soul into designing the right layouts and curating unique and original content from articles to visuals, partnering with writers, journalist organizations, and fellow visionaries to give you the best there is.
🌈 I have worked directly with advertisers, sponsors, event coordinators, brands, and written most everything myself. I have worked for days on end, pushed through extreme fatigue, financial hardships, and even the haters (there is always someone).
🌈 This #magazine is the way I celebrate the #creative spirit and champion those truly making an impact on the world … with an emphasis on championing #women and the #LGBTQ community.
🌈 #ATOD is what it is because I want to share the things that make life worthwhile: #art, #food, #culture, #travel, #wellness, our #planet and talking directly with those who continue to bring joy and spread awareness.
🌈 I do this while raising two teenagers, #writing #films and #television series’, and advocating for #equality through action and activism.
🌈 I believe in the triumph of the human spirit and the tenacity that pushes us to thrive. May this magazine be the springboard for artists and visionaries, #filmmakers and #journalists, and may it be a community of #unity because the heart behind this magazine is: coming together.
🌈 Celebrate one another. Lift one another up.
🌈 And thank you for allowing this magazine to continue to leave a mark in the world. It’s been 10 years so far and I hope for 40 more!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR:
This month I wanted to bring your eye to #design and decadent living; the kind that inspires #joy, cultural inclusion, female prowess, soulful renderings, and celebrates the spirit of simplicity.
This past month our family had a few big changes. My partner had a gran mal seizure and our lives had to immediately alter. Our kids started high school. And as a unit, we all had to re-evaluate how to work in unison.
In those moments I was grateful. Grateful for the simplicity of the design in our home that allowed us to feel somehow calm in spite of the chaos; loved instead of dismantled; hopeful instead of defeated.
From the #art hanging on our walls to the lines of our #furniture, we felt embraced—and it gave us some solace while we navigated the new terrain.
This month I also celebrate my #birthday and getting hired to write a female-centric #TVSeries at @mgmstudios. I am elated and overjoyed and I am choosing to see the opportunities as a chance for gratitude, renewal, and reinvigoration.
I believe design is about inclusion and flow, and that decadent living is about appreciating the simplest of pleasures.
This month I'd like to invite you to celebrate the little wins in life; to recognize the surroundings that imbibe a mood; to follow your hearts and listen to your soul's requests.
In other words, give in to your #passions, push harder in your journeys, and be mindful of regenerating your own perspectives. May this month be one where #unity and #breath reign supreme.

Such a fun day exploring new brands at the FounderMade event in Santa Monica. (Ignore the multiple times I stop and start with “Here we go” 😳) BUT—Got to peruse with @TheDiningDolls @markmywordz420 and evening had a happy meet cute with @SweetTatas!! Learned about some incredible brands but the highlight was meeting Grace from Svn Space who has created a platform that is giving a voice and a total community to #WomenInCannabis! I am so looking forward to connecting with her and some of the truly forward-thinking female entrepreneurs I had the pleasure of talking with. These women are taking science, branding, wellness, beauty, fashion, health and design in a very promising direction. #HempIsFemme #editor #writer #atod #sensi #h**p #lifestyle #luxury #plantbased #womeninmedia #womensupportingwomen #ladiesoftheleaf #natural #vegan #green #beauty #health #wellness #fashion #foodies
