A Quick Intro

Hi! Thanks for visiting Glamour Underground. I started this magazine because I often feel disappointed after reading mainstream women’s magazines. I love certain aspects: the glossyness, the photos, the way they’re so easy to read or even just skim through – but, I feel like they’re missing something when it comes to substance.

I’m the sort of person who likes to have my cake and eat it; so I decided to start an online magazine that would provide all the joy of reading a regular magazine, but with the satisfaction of reading a book. Here it is: I hope you enjoy it.

About Me

I’m 20, I live in London. I love running, reading, short and long-term travel, rock climbing and of course, writing. For now I’m just sharing my personal knowledge and experiences through these articles. But, I know that my limited life experience is going to kick in soon enough and I’m going to have to build a team of amazing women (and maybe some men) to write for Glamour Underground. (If you’d like to be one of them, please contact me.)

I know I can come across preachy and even arrogant sometimes. I’m not perfect, and I know I’m not. But I do have high standards – high expectations – for you and for myself. I want you to be better; and that’s what this magazine’s all about. Every single article is about how you can improve an aspect of your, or someone else’s life. So, sorry if some parts of this magazine are too tough love for you – but as my friend and climbing partner Ben would say, “Man UP!”

My Philosophy

I believe that your body should be fit and ready to serve your every whim and that it’s your job to keep it in that state. I believe that we only get one life and that it’s a small tragedy not to live it as you wish you could. I believe in serenity, courage and wisdom.

I believe that happiness comes from inside you and that if you’re not happy now, nothing you can buy will change that. I believe that producing value for each other is the most important thing that we can do for ourselves and for humanity.
As always, feel free to contact me about anything. You can also leave comments under the articles and I will get back to you.

Thanks for reading!
