Live Life is published by Gauteng-based publishing house, Free Radical Media and distributed on a bi-monthly basis to 50 000 consumers throughout Gauteng. A Western Cape edition is set to be launched in the near future. The digital application is also available at no cost to the consumer. Conceived by qualified pharmacist and consumer health and wellness industry expert, Fanie Hendriksz, it is aimed at the high-end consumer.

"Identified a vacancy"

"I became tired of reading the same impractical, irrelevant health and lifestyle articles and identified a vacancy for relevant, fresh content. There is a need for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and general health and wellness companies to directly engage with their target audiences - the magazine is the connecting point," explains Hendriksz.

The magazine (and its online counterpart) is interactive and dialogue driven, focusing on readers' feedback, requests and suggestions. Editorial, in both English and Afrikaans, will include expert health pieces as well as the latest trends and breakthroughs in the pharmaceutical industry.

Shining into the New Year

In addition to the jewellery coverage, there are celebrities wearing luxury brands and a Q&A with Dior representative, Charlize Theron.
