Welcome Summer and Embrace Sustainability

It is everyone’s favorite and most popular season of the year — Summer! Enjoying the warm sunlight with an airy breeze grazing your skin softly or chilling in the outdoors with friends and lemonade in hand is most definitely something everyone has missed after almost two years of being homebound. As the environment is recovering after two years of stillness, why not continue this trend to make our Earth better by supporting some socially aware businesses? Jejune is more than excited to share with everyone a list of some lovely and stylish sustainable brands that we have put together to get you ready for the delightful warm season. Check them out below!

COVER - Good Trouble

This week marks two months of straight Black Lives Matter protests in New York City, and in many other places across the United States. In the midsts of a pandemic, people from all over the world have come together to support the black community and fight against police brutality. People are waking up and learning about systemic racism and what it actually means to defund the police. But there is always more to be done. Please check out our BLM Resource Book for more information.

This has been a unique time in history because everything has been closed and boarded up and artists are without work. So, the streets of SoHo have had more empty canvases for the incredible and relevant art sprouting up everywhere. Artists are listed last on the list of essential businesses, but as history is happening around us, we are busier than ever. It is the art people will look back on to document the past, and that art is screaming to be heard, for justice, and for change.

EDITORIAL - The New Norm?

Social distancing — the act of keeping space (six feet) between yourself and other people, and limiting trips to places where you might interact with other people.

Humans all over the world are trying to find creative ways to be close while being apart. Never have we, as a planet, ever been so easily in communication, yet not allowed to connect in a physical way. Even as an introvert, I feel the strain of going months without seeing my family and friends. However, unlike during the 1918 pandemic, we do have the luxury of the internet and video calls. I am still able to workout, have group hangouts, play charades with my mother, and even do photo shoots. We may feel there is a lot to be concerned about, but there is even more to be grateful for.

EDITORIAL - BPM

BPM - beat per minute. There are many ways to love and celebrate your body: eating healthy, dancing in front of your mirror, buying clothing that makes you feel good, and working out. That’s why we are excited over Ted Sun’s new editorial with French ex-pro basketball player, Chris Kadima at Wilhelmina Sports & Fitness, where he shows us some of his moves.
