As temperatures rise, so can fatigue, dehydration, and nutrient depletion. In this month's ✨Longevity ✨article, Jordan Kimler, Nurse Practitioner at Premier U, explains why simply drinking more water isn't always enough and shares practical ways—including IV vitamin therapy—to help women stay energized, hydrated, and feeling their best all summer long.☀️

As GlowInto celebrates six months this week, July also marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. I’m honored to share that my stories are now featured in a second publication, EdGlen Living Magazine, introducing more inspiring women and businesses from a community I’ve long admired. Thank you to everyone who has supported GlowInto these first six months. I can’t wait to share what’s ahead.

The July issue of Ed Glen Living is here!

This month's cover feature introduces readers to Emily Cimarolli, whose dedication to education, youth athletics, and community service is helping shape the next generation. Whether she's inspiring students in the classroom, coaching on the tennis court, or welcoming athletes from around the world to the Edwardsville Futures Tournament, Emily's story is a wonderful reminder that strong communities are built by people who generously share their time, talents, and hearts with others.

Inside this issue, we're also excited to welcome GlowInto and contributor Jennifer Joyner, whose new monthly feature will celebrate inspiring women embracing life's next chapter with confidence, purpose, and resilience.

As we celebrate Independence Day and the beginning of America's 250th anniversary, we're reminded that the story of America is also the story of communities like ours—and the people who make them stronger every day.

Be sure to check your mailbox, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy another issue filled with local stories that connect and inspire.

From all of us at Ed Glen Living, we wish you a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

We don’t stop over 40…we Glow Into.

Coming soon to ✨GlowInto✨Interviews
Kathleen Kaiser and MJ Johnson!

Two more incredible women are about to share their stories with the GlowInto community.

Every woman over 40 carries experiences—lessons learned, unexpected turns, moments of courage, and dreams that are still unfolding. In these upcoming stories, you’ll meet two women who reflect on what life has taught them, what they’ve gained along the way, and what they’re still reaching for.

Are you ready to share your story? ✨

At GlowInto we love to support female owned businesses! This Friday and Saturday come down to Blanquart's Rusty Gem Vintage Market and Halo Boutique for *Christmas in July* and shop their savings event.

In this month's **Style That Evolves**, contributor Karlyn Slaydon shares practical, stylish advice for dressing through the hottest days of summer—without sacrificing comfort or confidence. From breathable fabrics to the accessories that pull an outfit together, these are the tips every woman needs this time of year.

There comes a point every summer when getting dressed stops being about fashion and starts being about survival.

If you've ever stood in front of your closet wondering what you can wear that won't cling, wrinkle, or leave you melting before you even leave the house, you're not alone.

Style That Breathes: Dressing for Real Summer Heat — GlowInto... There comes a point every summer when getting dressed stops being about fashion and starts being about survival. If you've ever stood in front of your closet wondering what you can wear that won't cling, wrinkle, or leave you melting before you even leave the house, you're not alone.

Six months of GlowInto.

These were some of the early stories that helped shape the heart of GlowInto — stories of creativity, community, motherhood, reinvention, resilience, business, identity, and becoming.

Each woman reminded me that life after 40 is not one single story. It is layered. It is honest. It is still unfolding.

And six months later, I can look back and see how much these first interviews helped define what GlowInto was always meant to be: a place for women’s stories, wisdom, and next chapters.
GlowInto is a place for women to be heard, seen, and celebrated. Whether you have a personal story to share or expertise that could encourage, educate, or inspire women over 40, there is space for you here.

Becky-“My whole life, I was told I wasn’t good enough, I was never quite right. And one day I thought — I’m going to do something for me.”

Kathy-: “You can’t listen to the noise if you want to move forward.”

Tami-"In her forties and fifties, Tami describes life as feeling reborn. Entering a new stage was both scary and exciting, and for the first time, she began choosing herself."

Felisha-“I knew I had to have a comeback story.”

These are the women of GlowInto.

✨ **GLOWINTO FEATURE | By Jamie Petty**

What if the story behind a brand was about much more than the products it sells?

In her latest GlowInto feature, Jamie Petty shares her personal journey of survival, healing, and why Mary Kay became more than a beauty company in her eyes. This isn't a story about lipstick or skincare—it's a story about courage, second chances, and the women brave enough to begin again.

Read Jamie's powerful perspective and discover why she believes confidence starts long before the makeup goes on.

This one is for anyone who has ever looked around at a life they worked hard to build and wondered what it would take to choose differently.

For Kim Kilgore of Paper Moon, LLC in Mascoutah, that realization came after years in a demanding legal career, raising a large family, and carrying the kind of responsibility that can quietly reshape a person.

Her story is not just about opening a shop. It is about creativity, courage, community, and choosing a life that finally feels like her own.
