When I read articles that are educational, I tear them out and put them into my ‘health information album.’ I have a ton of your pages in my album and I refer to it often! I love your magazine! Thank you!
-Debbie Meikle
“Your relatively small magazine is so full of informative content, great recipes, etc. There was so much great information, it took awhile to read and absorb the info in the articles! Thanks!”
-Carolyn Millard
“I really enjoy your magazine and I got about 10 chics at work hooked on Perfectify now, too.
Keep up the good work.”

-Tom Talbott
I am in Casa Grande, but have seen your magazine several places and love it!

Hi Kristi! I just stopped by AJ’s to pick up some fish, and I saw the magazine! I am so thankful that you gave me the opportunity write about Osteoporosis (November 2009). Thank you SO much! If it reminds even one reader to take their calcium, it will be well worth it. The whole issue looks fabulous! Congratulations on another great month!
-All the best, Marty Velasco Hames
I love your magazine and look forward to picking up the new issue every month!!!
-Karen VanMoorlehem
I first came across your magazine in June of 2009. I was immediately smitten! It had a little of everything! The articles were concise, yet chock full of valuable information. Reading Perfectify prompted me to call to two of your advertisers for services. I remember thinking “This is a great magazine. I would love to work for a publication like this!” Then I came across your ad seeking Advertising Sales Reps and the possibility of working from home, I knew I just had to apply.
-Bebe Blacktower
Editor Says: Thanks for your email and resume! We are definitely seeking marketing reps to help us expand exponentially in the coming months. See our website for more information on employment opportunities we have available.
I think Perfectify keeps getting better and better!
-Janice at Sincerely, Sandra
Advertising with Perfectify Magazine has proven to be an incredibly profitable investment. I'm amazed at the number of top-notch clients you continually send my way! Thanks so much!
-Christie Simmons, Express Mie, www.expressmie.com
I wanted to write and say I really enjoyed the new pet and parenting features. I have 2 kids and 2 dogs. The articles in the past several issues have been excellent. I look forward to more.
-Taylor Johns
I just had to drop u a line after reading your Brazilian wax piece. What a riot!!!!! Couldn't wait to see how you were going to write that story. You did a great job sharing the experience and still providing all the information about the procedure. Super job! Can't wait to see what you'll try next! Keep up the good work!
-Marty Velasco Hames
Hi I have been reading Perfectify religiously since the very beginning. Wow! It has improved so much. I read it when it was more like a brochure and now each issue is more vibrant than the last. I love the covers. You sure can’t miss a Perfectify Magazine in a stack of magazines with the bright pinks and yellows you use on the covers. I actually read almost every single article in each and every issue … which is something I can’t say about any other magazine I pick up. I love that all the articles and columns are short and concise. I can read the magazine page or two at a time - when I have just a few minutes on a break at work or while my kids are doing their homework. Anyway, great job on the improvements since the beginning. I see the magazine everywhere now. Every time I go to the doctor, get my nails or hair done … there is a copy. Love it!
-Sarah Hernandez
Happy 2 year birthday for Perfectify – you have a wonderful publication!
-All the best, Tricia McCourt
OMG! I loved your High Class Dog feature last month (July 2009). The dogs sporting the clothes and accessories were the cutest! Keep incorporating pet health information. The pet supplement column (On Naturopathy) was excellent and very informative. That was a great issue for the pet lover!
-Thanks! Meghan Miles
I picked up your magazine at a coffee shop and was greatly impressed.
-Rebecca S. Moriarty
Read your article on waxing – LMAO!
-Darcy Nulph
"I've had tremendous and measurable success with my PERFECTIFY ad! Within 5 days of the issue's release, I had several inquiries which resulted in 3 large clients. I am pleased with the results and plan to continue advertising with you."
-Fawn Cheng, Personal Stylist, www.fawncheng.com
I read your magazine every time I go to Dolce to get my hair done, and I think it’s amazing!
-Katey McPherson
I just picked up your July issue of Perfectify and I loved it. I found so many articles that were helpful and informative to me, my girlfriends and even my mother-in-law, too. A lot of the articles were written just for me - like the one about holistic pet remedies (Dr. Worden’s On Naturopathy column) and the trapeze place (I Tried It: Trapeze U). Wow! I had just recently driven past Trapeze U and thought, “I’d like to try that!!!!” These are the things I've been interested in doing myself and just didn't have the time to get the info together for myself. I have kept the last two issues on my computer table so I can email some of the vendors inside like Express Mie about classes and getting an accurate calorie count for my weight. It’s nice to hear about ladies like myself trying to get in touch with themselves and make a better tomorrow. Keep up the great work. I just wish I could remember where I picked up these issues. I'm sure it was with my kids but where? I would love to get more as they come out. Where can I pick them up or do I need to subscribe? I'm in the East Valley, Chandler/Gilbert area. Thanks for the interesting read. I look forward to seeing more in the future.
-Sincerely, Lorrie Baker
Editor Says: You can pick up a copy each month at any of the 90 local CVS Pharmacy locations as well as over 500 other businesses. See the entire list of where you can find a copy on our website at www.perfectify.com
I would like to see how I can become one of your models for your magazine covers...I love them all! You have a great photographer.
-Vivianna McAuliffe
Editor Says: Anyone is welcome to submit photos (and editorial) for consideration. See our FAQ or CONTACT pages on our website at www.perfectify.com for specific directions.
I recently read Shandi Hudson’s Ethnic Beauty column in Perfectify. I could not remember which issue but it was about a face peel you had done regarding hyperpigmentation and acne scars. She said she tried it and the results were great. What was that peel called and where did you have it done? I would appreciate the referral. Also, there was also an article done in the same issue regarding the best place in phoenix to get a Brazilian bikini wax. Could you also provide me with that information? I love the magazine!
-Thank you so much, Leslie Shapiro.
Editor Says: We recently featured Suddenly Slimmer in Phoenix for the best Brazilian waxing in the valley. See www.suddenlyslimmer.com or refer back to our July 2009 issue. In reference to Shandi’s Melange Peel, she received the treatment at Arizona Laser Spa. See www.arizonalaser.com or see our July 2009 issue. Keep in mind you can find all of our issues online indefinitely at www.perfectify.com
Hello! I read Perfectify online and I think it’s a gorgeous magazine! Every page is like a work of art! I thought that this might be a good fit for the On Pets section of Perfectify: FindMyDogaDate.com has gotten quite a bit of local press and will be launching nationally soon. They were just on 99.9 KEZ, Beth and Bill this morning! All the best on the magazine!
-Wendy Kenney
Editor’s Note:
Thanks Wendy! We loved the story so we took it and ran with it! You can see it in our November issue. If you have an idea or story we should know about, please email us at info@perfectify.com
Hi there! I just discovered Perfectify magazine and I absolutely adore it! I completely love the idea of supporting local talent and your magazine does just that! Thank you so much for your time! Keep up the good work!

-Melanee Wilder
I love Perfectify! It is a magazine I can relate to and I believe in what it represents. Thanks!
-Nicole R. Matcuk
I LOVE Perfectify!!! Trapeze U looked so fun! I spent the evening reading several past issues and I think you should expand nationally! Perfectify is free and better than all the magazines I'm subscribed to! Verrrry colorful ... I LOVE the articles ... Soooo informative! Keep going!
-Carol Johnson
“When I heard that our nonprofit organization, HEAL International, would be featured in Perfectify, I was excited. I was sure that it would be great to introduce our work to Perfectify’s readership. What I did not expect, however, was the immediate response that our article (June 2008) generated from the community. In just the first 10 days of the magazine being out, we have received numerous requests for our tea and have even received a message from a doctor who is willing to provide resources for our healthcare work in resource-limited communities. Thanks to all the readers who have hearts big enough to make space for healing others and thanks especially to you, Perfectify, for making space for our story. The magazine looks fantastic and our story and spread are exceptional. Moreover, I love the blend you are creating with your subject matter -- beauty and health, entertainment, the telling of unknown stories, and your social focus work together to create a publication with great diversity.”
-Damien Salamone, Executive Director, HEAL International www.healinternational.org
I want to congratulate you on an amazing publication. I have watched the magazine grow and become more popular over the past year. I've also been impressed with the growing quality and amount of information you publish. I love what your magazine does for women and how it strives to make them look and feel better.
-Caroline Watson
Congratulations on your new website! It really looks great! I would love to shoot for your magazine since your magazine is very clean and represents Arizona well. Hope to work with you in the future! I will spread the word about your new site.
-Ron Keel, 307 Studios, www.307photographystudios.com
Twitter Message: All of your cover girls look beautiful! Wow! -madsciencescott
I just read the article on Trapeze U and wanted to say “Thanks!” I would have to say that this was the best “write up” we’ve had since we’ve opened. We truly appreciate your support! Thanks!
-Dylan Phillips, Trapeze U Dean of Admissions, www.trapezeu.com
Hi Kristi. Thank you for sending the media kit I requested. I actually spent a lot of time on your site(s) yesterday checking everything out. I'm very impressed at how I was able to find out practically everything I needed to know about advertising in your magazine and have all my questions answered before even meeting with you. We have advertised in about 6 or 7 other local magazines and have never found anything so comprehensive. I usually have a handful of unanswered questions after reviewing their info. I would still like to meet with you and find out about the specials and more about the photography and modeling stuff. P.S. I'd love to get your tips on how you're able to run a magazine, media/design company, manage multiple websites ... and personal training? All with such great success ... and still maintain your sanity. Amazing!
-Cindy Reeves, Reeves Photography, www.reevesphoto.com
“We are so thankful that we decided to advertise with Perfectify. The magazine is eye catching and very high quality. We have generated more revenue compared to other magazines, especially now that Perfectify reaches valley wide. What we absolutely love about Perfectify is it is more than just a basic one page ad; it is more of an educational tool for potential new patients. We also enjoy that it is geared more towards the health and beauty industry. Perfectify is the only magazine we keep in our waiting room. Our patients have really enjoyed Perfectify Magazine and can’t wait to get the next issue. Usually they ask if they can take a copy with them after their treatments. Thank you Perfectify for all that you do! Keep up the great work!”
-Kim Pate, Licensed Aesthetician, Estetica Cosmetic and Reconstructive,
Surgery of Scottsdale
“I love Perfectify. I am reading it and saying ‘Let me fold this corner over because this is good stuff!’ I realized I had every page corner bent.”
-Maria Flores
“I still cannot believe we received over 40 phone calls from our Perfectify ad. We now have the largest Bootcamp classes in over 2 years - because of advertising in Perfectify. We track where every client comes from, and by far, Perfectify is our greatest source of business!” -Tom Lewandowski, East Valley Bootcamp trainer www.eastvalleybootcamp.com
“Dear Perfectify Magazine, I first read your magazine while visiting my aunt in Gilbert, Arizona. I immediately thought that Perfectify was an innovative and creative magazine. The articles are written by people who are either experts in their area or everyday people who like to try it firsthand (“He Tried It, She Tried It”). Unfortunately, I come from a small town in Colorado where most of the amenities showcased in your magazine are not readily available or are extremely expensive. But there are also tons of articles in Perfectify about food, beauty, power and success that I love and are extremely useful. I look forward every month to Perfectify Magazine online. Along with the articles, the photography is fantastic. Kudos to the Perfectify Staff!”
-Beth Santistevan
“We have been advertising a full page ad in Perfectify for several months now. We are very pleased with the publication and especially with the results it has given us. The Perfectify staff have been awesome every step of the way since we first started advertising with them. With Perfectify, we continue to grow our audience. From the first time we saw the magazine, we knew it was the right publication for us. It is a first-class publication and has the demographics and overall feel that caters to the same clientele that we look to reach. Our relationship with Perfectify has been exceptional and we look forward to continued growth and many more issues to come. Thank you!”
-Ed Zavala, Ciao Bella Medical Spa and Vein Clinic, www.ciaobellamedicalspa.com
“Wow! I LOVE Perfectify! I just picked it up at CVS, but I have never seen it there before. Will it be there each month? The information is exactly what I have been seeking – local businesses that offer skin care and cosmetic services. It is impossible to find this information all in one of the other local magazines. I look forward to picking up the magazine each month.”
-Caroline
“I LOVE the newest edition with Ali on the cover!!! Way to go! I am so happy for you and hope that your magazine continues to grow, and grow, and grow!!!” - Heather, Chandler
"Our first ad with Perfectify Magazine has been out just a week and it’s resulted in over 10 calls already resulting in 6 new clients! Pretty impressive, I think."
-Tracy Brame, Eyelash Specialist

of it all!”
- Melissa Viedt, President, Dolce & Companies
“I was looking over the Perfectify Magazine website and loved it! This is exactly the type of publication that I’ve been waiting to see jump out in Arizona - a magazine to promote health, wellness and fitness. I have been a commercial and print photographer in Arizona for about seven years now and my main focus in the past year has been commercial fitness. I would love to talk to you about the potential of working with you at Perfectify Magazine.”
- James Patrick, www.jamesmpatrick.com
“It has been an amazing opportunity to be published in Perfectify Magazine as a salon owner and nail technician of Addicted to Nails. I have had quite a few referrals due to the success of the magazine, and I cannot thank you enough for your support. I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of such a dynamic group of people promoting health and beauty.”
-Sheera Amundson, owner, Addicted To Nails www.addictedtonails.com
“I love your magazine. Thanks for adding a new perspective to our Valley scene.”
-Susan McLeod
“Thanks for including Toe Reading in the December 2008 issue. I have been a fan of your magazine since the beginning … I always make a point of picking it up at AJ’s each month. Imagine my excitement last night when I stopped to pick up dinner and discovered the Toe Reading article. Thank you so much for the wonderful coverage! You couldn’t have chosen a better Toe Reader than Shannon Matwick.”
-Blessings, KC Miller, Founder/Director, Southwest Institute of Healing Arts
“I have been in the skin care and makeup industry for twenty years. I recently picked up the March issue of Perfectify Magazine and I have to confess, I was impressed! It is not often I pick up a local magazine and find valuable information for the professional, the consumer and even a little personal inspiration!”
-Nicole Cocuzza
“I picked up your magazine yesterday and it totally rocks! It is awesome and I loved all of the content. The material in the magazine, your approach and everything about it was great. I was glued to it! As I got about halfway through, I saw the full page ad for the NPC Bodybuilding and Figure show – full page. I don’t think I have ever seen in any other ‘mainstream’ magazines locally, which I thought was really cool. I am a news anchor in town. I have worked in television news for the last 25 years in the valley and I am also a figure competitor so it totally caught my eye. I was wondering, since Miles Productions is a big advertiser, if you are planning on doing any stories along the lines of figure competitions or bikini divisions or anything related to the show. I am a huge proponent of keeping your body healthy and fit and I compete in that sport. I would love to see coverage of the fitness and figure shows in upcoming issues. Again great job on your magazine! It’s a great service that you do for readers in the valley!”
-Marty Velasco Hames
“Thank you for publishing the terrific article on Corey Spencer and organ donation in your April issue. As usual, your professional layout and look is amazing! Thank you again for championing donation to help save and heal lives!!”
- Kris Patterson, Media Specialist, Donor Network of Arizona, www.dnaz.com
I was just reading "My Sincere Apologies" (June’s Editor’s Letter) and I thought I might try to contribute. First, I'm glad you are not going to cut back on the content. There's always a little something for everyone. I think that's how a magazine should be. Second, I especially enjoy the articles that are informative but in the form of a conversation with your girlfriends. There is nothing worse than reading an article that could be interesting but is unreadable because of the technical details. I have been reading Perfectify for a couple of months now and I tell everyone I know about it! I am the mother of two, struggling to find time and a direction for myself, and the information in your magazine is very helpful. I especially loved the cover this month! It screamed "SUMMER’S HERE! READ ME!" Between that and your "apology" - I wanted to tell you I love your magazine and thanks!
-Lisa Markiewicz
“I just wanted to say that I have been keeping up with Perfectify (I have since the very beginning) and it continues to impress me. I am so happy that your hard work is paying off. I love reading each issue and I hope you are healthy, happy and enjoying the magazine. You have worked so hard and deserve much success! Congrats!”
-Sarah Richardson
“I was doing some house cleaning today and found an early edition of Perfectify. I compared it to today’s edition. As the old saying goes "You have come a long way baby!" Keep up the good work. You should be proud of what you have accomplished and how far you have taken the magazine from day one to today.”
-Dwight Vettel
“I have been reading your publication for a while … I have spotted it around in several places. I really like what you have put together. It’s a GREAT publication. I am interested in finding out how I could get involved in helping with writing, editorial or interviews. Please let me know!”
- Sadie Ranov
"Being featured in the first issue of Perfectify has been great for my business. In the first 10 days of the magazine being mailed out, I received over 12 calls! I am very impressed and pleased with the response I got."
-Dawn Sherin, AcuPointe Healing Therapies
“I wanted to finally take the time and write you a letter of thanks and appreciation for allowing me to be part of Perfectify Magazine. You have given me the public space, to do something that I really love to do: write in order to help other people. I also want you to know that in your allowing me the column, you have opened up doors for me to both further my writing, my business and my spirit. Thank you for that too. I know that when you use your life as you have, in such a public way, by creating and publishing a magazine, that you become vulnerable to people’s comments and judgments. Your empathy toward other people is one of the reasons that your magazine is so good. Take good care and don’t let people abuse that quality in you. Perfectify is your dream, not theirs. Shape it how you want it. I know that every month MANY people are enjoying Perfectify, learning from it, patronizing the businesses that advertise in it. Thank you for what you do, for the connections you are making with people that in turn are helping other people. Know that your goodwill is causing others to spread goodwill in many ways. Your kindnesses are endless. You are a part of my success. Please take that personally!"
-Always the best, Joan Upton
“Hello! I receive your magazine every month and I love, love, love it! Thanks much!”
-Heather Kochanski
“I wanted to say ‘Thank you’ for bringing attention to Organ Donation. It really means a lot to me all of the people waiting for organs and I’m sure those families who did choose to donate in a time of tragedy, they can see that it repaired another family. Our lives here are so much better and more ‘normal’ than we could ever think possible.”
-Kindest regards, Destiny Rattner
“Thank you for doing the wonderful piece on Best Buddies in your October edition. It was a great honor for us and we truly appreciate the coverage. Thank you again!”

-Warmest Regards, Beth Rojas
“Thanks for the article on me and the hair straightening process I offer. I loved it! I received several calls already and the magazine has been out less than a week. One of the new clients said the article was very well written and she felt like she understood the process. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on it!”
-Angela Mekelburg, Total Bliss Salon
“Thanks so much for sponsoring and being a big part the Retail Therapy event. It was a huge success; especial considering it’s our first of many such events. We raised over $2000 for My Sisters’ Place Domestic Violence Shelter. I totally appreciate all the things you do for me - even more because you truly inspire me to keep pushing forward. I am in awe of how you do what you do - even with the daily roadblocks and bumps in the road you face.”
-Sheera Amundson, Founder and Coordinator of Retail Therapy
“Retail Therapy was fantastic! I learned about the event from last month’s Perfectify and I could not believe all the great people and services that were offered at the salon. I look forward to seeing Perfectify as a part of it again next year. I also snagged one copy of each magazine and one of those pens! I love it!”
-Thank you, Lindsay Brooks
“I am calling to thank you for the ad regarding the Law Office of Jan Buescher. I am going to retain her today. This attorney is wonderful! I thank you so much for your magazine and connecting me with her. This is the first issue I picked up. I found it at AJ’s. Thank you so much!”
-Name withheld for privacy
“I just recently picked up your latest issue of Perfectify at the CVS down the street and absolutely love the magazine! I’ve read many health and beauty magazines in the valley, but this one really stands out. I read your article on the flight combat and my husband and I have signed up for our own adventure! Thank you so much!”
-Sandra Collins, Mesa
“I love your magazine, the color, the liveliness and purpose behind it. It’s really what we need in our culture right now - it’s the future!”
-Jessica Rudolph
“Everyone who comes in here loves Perfectify! Each month, people stop by JUST to pick up a copy of the latest issue!”
-Amanda, Jamaica Me Tan
“I have some family who lives in the Phoenix area, and I live in Tucson. Is Perfectify planning on making its way out here?”
-Barbara, Tucson, AZ
“Dear Perfectify Staff: I picked up the complimentary copy of Perfectify at a CVS store when I was visiting Scottsdale earlier this month. When I picked it up, I thought it would be something to glance at while I was relaxing by the pool but I have to say that I enjoyed reading that January 09 issue from cover to cover and even brought it home with me to Kentucky. I will
be viewing the magazine online each month now that I have returned home. Keep up the
good work.”
-Lynn Price
“I have to tell you that I love your magazine! I have seen several issues of it and I am a huge fan. I love the covers, the design and the content. I actually had taken copies back to Minnesota with me for my staff to look at when I was still publisher of Rochester Magazine.”
-Audrey Groteboer
“Just picked up the current issue of the magazine and it looks FABULOUS!!!!! Really great!!! It’s full of advertisers and such great info…”
-Les Renee
“I picked up a copy of Perfectify (February 09) at CVS and started flipping through the pages to find the feature article on dating that I wrote. Suddenly I realized that I read every single page before I got to page 28 with my article! It’s unusual to find a magazine with something of great interest on almost every page! I couldn’t believe the vast range of interesting and apropos subjects you covered in one magazine. Very well done! Keep up the good work! P.S. I promptly made an appointment with Body Solutions, as well! Wish me luck!”
-Jean Marie Adams, Kelleher & Associates
“I really like that your magazine is about beauty on the inside as well as the outside. Tips to boost your confidence, taking a stand for others and self-esteem are really important issues that many teenagers and adults are facing all the time. By helping to stimulate these characteristics in a person helps others reach their goals! I enjoy your fashion segment. It helps me keep up with the latest fashion trends. I also liked the article about Alicia, Miss Arizona USA (March 2009). It is so inspiring to see such a young woman work so passionately with children in need in our community. Keep up the work! Thank you for giving Arizona good substance to read!”
-Madison Skye Rowbotham, Peoria
“Recently one morning while checking my e-mail, I saw the copy of Perfectify in my inbox. I got myself a cup of coffee and settled down at the computer to read it. I found myself engrossed by the up-to-date, informative articles, and 25 minutes later, found my coffee had grown cold. So after a quick reheat of my cup in the microwave, I kept on reading, and - you guessed it - another cup of cold coffee. I finished reading Perfectify, but only had one cup of coffee during that whole time (despite 3 attempts)! Your magazine is fun to read, the interviews are interesting, and the photography is beautiful! I also like that the articles are just the right length. I learn so much each month, and I’m looking forward to picking up the newest edition of Perfectify at my local CVS to read and savor (maybe without the coffee).”
-Yours sincerely, CM Moser
“I recently became familiar with your magazine. I live in Coolidge and ran up to the valley to pick up an issue after viewing it online. I was really impressed with the content and all the hard work involved. Your magazine not only covers many different issues associated with our bodies and care for them, but also provides detailed information. I also appreciate the “recipes” for various health regimens and will be testing those out. I will definitely be picking up a copy each month!
-Lori Schaar
“I’m tickled to be your cover girl for the April 2009 issue! Thank you again Kristi! I’m grateful for this opportunity more than you know! You have been wonderful to work with. I’ve received amazing compliments regarding your work; the inside feature highlights and layout was absolutely perfect. KUTV News (TV station in Utah) is coming Tuesday to film a special segment on me and they’re going to use your beautiful magazine to highlight my story. I absolutely love the magazine … I wish it was available nationwide! It’s awesome! I love your energy! And I love your magazine. I’m highly impressed with the quality, energy and feel of it all. Please express my appreciation to everyone on your team. THANK YOU for everything!”
-Warmest regards, Carol Whitaker, LivFit Fitness, http://carol.livfitcoaching.com

“HAPPY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! What a heartfelt message you wrote in this issue (September 2008). I am SO PROUD to be a contributing writer. I receive nothing but compliments regarding the quality of Perfectify. I even send issues to my relatives in the Midwest and on the west coast because they love reading (some are elderly and don’t own a computer to read it online). Others just love looking at the hard copy! I was at my hairdresser’s this morning (Among Friends) and they had a stack that was just delivered. All the hairdressers and patrons just love reading its contents. And it’s a treat for me because when they see my article and photo and I’m there, they point and say, ‘Hey ... this is you! What fun! I’m sure this next year for Perfectify will continue to be as successful as the past one. Again, congratulations!”

“Hi. My name is Kim and the last 2 months I have received your magazine in the mail and I was just wondering if there was any way you guys could send my mom a copy, especially the November issue. There were some articles in there I just absolutely love. The “Exercise Gratitude” article (November 2007). I just love that article and I think my mom would just love that article since its all about positive thinking … Thanks so much.”
-Kim
“Kristi, I am enjoying your new magazine. I really appreciate that it supports the local business and services!”

-Rita Hawks
"I found your magazine at Avante Salon in Gilbert during my last hair appointment. I loved it so much I asked to bring home a copy. I love the ease of reading all of the information and the different topics you cover. Even the ads were useful as my friend and I are wanting to sign up for photo classes at Snap Factory."
-Mona, Gilbert
“The magazine is looking awesome! It’s getting so well-rounded and interesting (not that it wasn’t interesting before, but there’s just more to get excited about)!"
-Tana Elliot
“Thank you Perfectify! Being new to Arizona, I turn to your magazine whenever I need advice on where to go or what to do. I also enjoy your articles on health and fitness; they are very motivating and informative. I look forward to reading each month’s issue...”

"I anxiously anticipate to each month’s edition, as I look forward to reading about local cutting edge topics that I would not normally be aware of, or exposed to. The magazine is classy in color, and I enjoy the personal touch..."

-Jim, Chandler
"I was going to tell you that your article about sky diving was great! It captured everything you feel after you have been which is that you can't describe it! It got me excited and I want to do it again!"
-Jackie Terrel
"Wow! The layout for the article on Derek Rattner (July 2008) is fabulous, Kristi! It looks so good. Thank you for all your support!! Thank you so much. I know Destiny (Derek’s mom) thought it was amazing. I really, really liked how you laid it out. Gorgeous!! Thank you so much!"

"One of my current students recently showed me your article about Dawn Sherrin's acupuncture practice. Dawn was one of my students and I was elated for her! Your article was wonderful. Your entire magazine is professionally done, gorgeous to look at and read, and keeps me wondering what is on the next page! Can you tell I'm visual?"
-Warmly, Dr. Susanne Davis, www.drsuedavis.com
"And by the way, I have been receiving your magazine from the first issue and it has certainly come a long way in such a short period of time ... Good luck!"
-Bonnie Cooper
"Meeting with Fawn Cheng for a style makeover was great! She gave me so much info. I cannot wait to overhaul my closet. I have gotten rid of 8 trash bags full of clothes so far and she helped me weed out even more. Now instead of being in 3 closets, I fit in half of one. It will be nice not to stress everyday and to love everything in my closet."
-Sonya Dulany
"OH and I love the write up, ad, pics and everything in this issue... the whole things looks awesome and you do an amazing job putting it all together so professionally! Way to GO!!" - -Heather Baumgartner
"I am a reader and fan of your magazine and love the health/beauty/cutting edge approach and embrace of new and traditional practices featured in
your magazine."
-Margit
"I just received the February 2008 issue of Perfectify and I absolutely love it. In fact, I loved it so much I brought it to the attention of Dr. Marloin C. Cummings D.D.S. Dr. Cummings is the owner/operator of Serene Smiles Family Dentistry and is also my boss. The reason I brought it to his attention is because I think he could write an interesting article for your publication. Dr. Cummings is very original and I have no doubt that he could write something educational yet entertaining for your readers. I’d love to set up some kind of meeting with you and him to go over some ideas. I hope to hear from you soon."
