Editor’s Note: The Merry Month of May

Here we are, already in the month of May. Despite being as “old” as I am, I still think of May as the end of the school year. And the end of the school year meant sleeping in, summer vacation, hanging out with friends and simply being free. May also means Mother’s Day here in the U.S., when we celebrate our moms by overeating and drinking mimosas. (At least that’s what we do at my house.)

In addition to all the good things May has in store for us in the way of holidays – Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you), Hug Your Cat Day, Cinco de Mayo, and National Lost Sock Memorial Day, Prime Women has been lining up some great articles we hope you find entertaining, informative and thought provoking. We’ll be covering tips on saving more for retirement, mindset hacks for healthy living, why bad dates are good for you, and how your DNA affects your diet. We’re going to learn about organic wines, try some new recipes, travel to Boston, and do a little retail therapy together, thanks to our fashion editors. You’re also going to meet our newest contributor, celebrity hairstylist Wendy Iles. Wendy has a long list of clients and celebrities she’s styled including Cate Blanchette, Heidi Klum, Kate Hudson, Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz.

Now, if you missed any of our best read articles from April, here’s your chance to catch up. Don’t forget to subscribe too if you haven’t already. It’s free to do so, and you’ll find Prime in your email box every Thursday morning.
