  Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness. 
   
   
   
  Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans twenty-two countries, has an international print readership upwards of twelve million, and nets over sixty-seven million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what—and more importantly who—made Vogue such an enduring success? 
   
   
   
  Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the listener through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures, and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

  Modesty - The Humble Approach -...

  Modesty is often misunderstood in today's world, where self-expression and visibility are highly valued. It is not about suppression or hiding oneself but rather a way of living that reflects humility, self-respect, and grace. True modesty is not limited to clothing choices but extends to attitudes, behaviors, and the way individuals present themselves to the world. It is about carrying oneself with dignity and avoiding excess, whether in appearance, speech, or lifestyle. 
  Historically, modesty has been deeply rooted in various cultures and traditions, often shaped by religious and philosophical beliefs. Many ancient societies regarded it as a virtue, associating it with wisdom, purity, and moral integrity. From Eastern philosophies emphasizing balance and restraint to Western traditions valuing humility and grace, modesty has been a guiding principle across civilizations. Though its expression has evolved over time, its essence remains unchanged—a conscious effort to practice simplicity and mindfulness in one's actions. 
  In modern society, modesty can be challenging to uphold, as social norms constantly shift and external influences promote self-promotion and material success. The pressure to stand out and gain validation can lead individuals to adopt behaviors that prioritize recognition over authenticity. However, true confidence does not stem from external validation but from an inner sense of self-worth. A modest person does not seek attention or approval but remains secure in their values and choices. This quiet strength allows for deeper connections with others and a greater focus on personal growth rather than superficial appearances.

  There are many Prophecies and Premonitions from the past which still might happen. This book looks at the most important from a variety of sources and attempts to analyze what will really happen and when.

  My major experiences are reviewed in Chapter 2.0 along with my explanations of how prophecy really works. 
  In the rest of this book we will explore many prophecies from the past which have yet to occur, as well as forecasts by current prophets and great thinkers about our future. 
  Then we get into a few prophecies by those who had Near Death Experiences (NDEs) who are therefore closer to their spirit which increases prophetic validity.

  ABOUT THE BOOK 
  Taking care of oneself is the most vital aspect that contributes to our self-improvement journey. Self-care is a journey that begins when we genuinely commit to looking after all dimensions of ourselves. This involves nurturing our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our body is akin to a temple where numerous essential tasks and functions occur, playing a crucial role in achieving our life's purpose. 
  Writing this book is my endeavor to offer insights drawn from my personal experiences and research, aimed at guiding and motivating readers to prioritize their holistic health. 
  My journey towards health and fitness began in my childhood, and it was further strengthened post-pregnancy when I managed to reduce my weight from 90 kg to 63 kg within less than 18 months through mindful dietary choices. 
  Drawing from these life-changing experiences and my unique perspective, I felt compelled to share my insights with others. If I could bring about transformative changes in my life by nurturing holistic health, I believed anyone could. 
  My journey has led me to believe that true success emerges from a balanced approach to life, where physical, mental, and spiritual well-being converge to shape a fulfilled and purposeful existence. 
  My intention behind writing this book is to share my experiences and insights, hoping to inspire and guide readers on their own journeys towards holistic well-being. If even a single person benefits from my experiences, it would be a significant achievement.
