For those of you who may not know, a colleague from school and I have partnered to start our own studio MATR Designs, a name made from the combination of the first letters of our names, but with a second meaning of making designs that "MATR." Under this studio we have started producing our own magazine titled "Simplified Living." It's a great magazine promoting: Home, Health and Living; a Martha Stewart meets Good Housekeeping kind of thing. We have interesting and helpful articles and really push large photographic spreads. The idea behind the magazine is to get people to slow down, relax and enjoy life a little bit more than they may be doing currently. Our first issue hit the stands on December 3rd, and our second issue will be hitting stands on February 1st. We publish six times a year, and believe me, it's a rush to get everything done on time.
So if you happen to be in the Near North area of Ontario, keep your eyes open for an issue of it, sit back, relax and enjoy.
Here's a photo of one of the recipes from our first issue, it's a roasted vegetable/bean stew.
Until next time, stay well...
