December has arrived, which means we
have a new year looming just around the
corner. This anticipated month that bookends
the year brings so many special celebrations
surrounding the Christmas and New Year’s
Eve occasions. It is an extra busy time for
many and
VIP DestinMagazine is excited to
capture and share some of your favorite events
to help you cherish these great times, even if
you could not attend.
Our magazine content enables us to attend
many varied functions, including social,
charitable, business, and professional. It is a
great privilege to get to meet so many people
from various backgrounds and professions. It
is with great pleasure that we get to interact
with so many professionals, especially in
the health, beauty, and wellness community
that we wanted to share some with our readers. Although still considered
a relatively small city, the Destin Area has incredible health and wellness
offerings that rival larger, more cosmopolitan areas.
This issue will help get you into the holiday spirit with the
Destin Style
feature on Ugly Christmas Sweaters (or are they!). If you are not sure how you
will be celebrating the season, be sure to check out
Save The Date for some
festive, upcoming events, and while you are at it, note many other great events
showcased in this issue.
The new year will be here soon and many people consider that a time of fresh
starts to refl ect and make changes and improvements.
VIP Destin Magazine
will be joining in that trend as we freshen up some of our standard features and
will launch some new ones that we have been working on for you. We expect
you will be delighted with those and you can still count on the same great
event coverage as always.
All of us here at
VIP Destin Magazine wish the most delightful of Christmas
seasons to each and every one of our readers. We appreciate the opportunity to
be immersed in your lives, in your homes, in your businesses, and in this gem
known as the Emerald Coast.
