About The Beauty Bean

The Beauty Bean, a free online magazine and weekly e-mail newsletter, is an intimate guide to beauty inside and out. Drawing on the expertise of our editorial team, we offer our readers an insider’s look at the latest products, research, and trends in beauty, fitness, and wellness to help the modern woman lead a healthier and more beautiful life. Setting The Beauty Bean apart from other sites, however, is the underlying goal of promoting better body images and preventing eating disorders through the elimination of the usual focus on weight loss. Visit regularly for relevant reviews of the latest must-have products and treatments, insider tips, professional tricks, and current trends in fitness, nutrition, and beauty.

We hope you’ll beautify, pamper, sweat, nourish, and lust with us.

Alexis Wolfer:

Concerned with the focus many beauty magazines and websites place on unrealistic body ideals and weight, Alexis launched The Beauty Bean to provide women with a glamorous beauty site with an unparalleled focus on inner-beauty and health. With the hope of showing women that beauty isn’t a number on a scale but is instead about beautifying, nourishing, pampering, sweating, and lusting, The Beauty Bean brings together Alexis’ love for beauty and fitness, as well as her desire for all women to feel beautiful and confident.

Alexis graduated summa cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis and earned her Master’s Degree from Columbia University, writing her thesis on the role some women’s magazines have in promoting negative body image. She also brings her previous professional experience at women’s magazines and websites to The Beauty Bean. She currently lives in Manhattan.
