Letters To The Editor
Hi Maralyn,
Hope all is well with you! Wanted to thank you
for the beautiful suki feature in the December
issue – it came out wonderfully and Suki was
thrilled! I hate to be annoying, but there is one
minor note I wanted to address with you. Both
product reviews mention a eucalyptus scent in
regards to the ultra-protect body balm when
there is actually no eucalyptus in the body balm
(it’s most likely the lavender you are smelling).
While we of course realize this is your perception, we worry that customers may take this the
wrong way and assume that eucalyptus is in our
body balm, which could be off-putting to some
customers since eucalyptus is a strong ingredient and many are allergic to it. Is there any way
you can tweak the review or perhaps add a note
stating that the products don’t contain eucalyptus? Please let me know your thoughts as we
just don’t want customers to be confused.
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it!

Dear Lauren,
Thank you for clarifying the fragrance in the suki
body balm, as both Sherrie and I interpreted the
scent as eucalyptus, not lavender. I’m sure our
readers will appreciate it.
Dear Editor,
I love the concept behind the article “Luxury
and Value are Possible in Paris” in the December
issue. Are there going to be any other articles
about combining luxury and value? I think it
would be great for those who want to treat
themselves, but want more bang for their buck.
Richard

Dear Richard,
Whereas we focus on luxury, many of us certainly
enjoy a good value. When we find this type of
opportunity, we certainly will pass it along.
Sometimes, they are difficult to discover, but we
are always on the lookout. Thanks for asking
Richard.
Dear Editor,
I loved the fashion articles in your December
issue, particularly the Christian Roth story! Are
you going to focus more on popular designers in
the future?
Dear Editor,

Thank you for the wonderful magazine, I do
always enjoy the articles! One of my favorite
writers is Janice Nieder, her pieces are very
informative and she does it with a bit of spunk.
I was wondering why her articles seem to have
smaller photographs verses some of the other
writers.
Dear Anna,
Curious in Connecticut,
USA
Thank you for your letter. We hope to continue to
focus a great deal on popular designers. We do
have an interview submission form on our website
where designers, both established and new, can
submit their information. We were thrilled to have
the opportunity to do the story “Celebrity Eyes
on Christian Roth” and enjoyed bring the behind
the scenes story to our readers. We have also
featured designers such as Jia Collection, Sheena
Sujan, and UMASAN to name a few. Each bringing a
different element of style to the world of fashion.
We are working on a Luxe Beat book on fashion
that is scheduled to be released in 2015. Fashion
is definitely a focus here at Luxe Beat!
Dear Curious in Connecticut,
Sincerely,
Sherrie
Thank you for the compliments and for being a
dedicated reader! We agree with you, in that
Janice is one of our favorite writers, because she
has her own style of writing. We often talk about
how “spunky” around the office. Each of our
journalists provides their own photographs to
accompany their articles and Janice prefers to
travel light. In turn, she uses her iPhone to take
her photos and those images typically are not
large enough to spread over two pages, like we do
with many of our feature stories. Perhaps your
inquiry will give Janice inspiration to saddle up a
camera on a future travel adventure. Janice…what
do you think?
Dear Editor,
Sincerely,
Sherrie
I remember reading in your October issue that
Jack Heath’s “Salem VI” book series is being
turned into a movie. Are there any new developments with that project, and how will we be
able to keep up with the news?
John
Toronto, Canada
Dear John,
Thank you for checking in on the “Chain of Souls”
film project, which is based on the book “Salem VI:
Rebecca’s Rising” book. The project is in the works
and filming is expected to commence in early
2015. We will continue to follow-up on this
evolving story and you can also learn more at

Sincerely,
Sherrie

Dear Editor,
I would like to say that the design of Luxe Beat
Magazine has evolved very well over this past
year. I really appreciated reading about your
Creative Director, Benjamin Bennett in your
December issue. I am curious. Was it interesting
for him to lay out an article about himself?
Ericka
Boston, MA
Dear Ericka,
We are glad you enjoyed our article on Benjamin
Bennett. It was challenging for him to be
interviewed and more challenging to layout his
own interview. In his words, “It seems kind of
weird.” We a pleased you have noticed how Luxe
Beat has evolved and we have more exciting plans
for 2015.
Sincerely,
Maralyn
Dear Readers,
We were happy
