Welcome to the September/October issue of theLounge.com.au.

In celebration of Spring, we have in this issue, packed in some great features on what the season means to us - a time to renew, a time to shine, a time to celebrate.

We introduce to you a Q&A section on beauty advice and have showcased a number of new beauty products that will help you shed your winter skin; such as Clinique’s new Truly Radiant Bronze range - powders and gels that will have you sparkling and glowing in little time.

For those seeking to shine in their career, we have featured a wonderfully frank and useful book by one of the best business leaders of our time - Jack Welch. In his new book, Winning, there are some wonderful advice that can be applied to your career. The book speaks to people at every level from line workers to MBAs, from project managers to senior executives, in companies large and small.

There are also highlights of events that are occurring over the next couple of months, including the Melbourne International Arts Festival, so get out your diary and lock in time to learn, laugh and enjoy.

Happy reading. We hope you enjoy this issue and as always, if you have any feedback, suggestions on content, questions about our publication, please write to us at jardin@thelounge.com.au.

Until next time,
