Dear Readers,

How fast the summer whizzed off! Must have been the two months of rain that whittled the season down to a few measly weeks of sunshine.

In any case, it's time to embrace Autumn, with its cool, crisp weather and gorgeous auburn colours. October also marks the busiest month for the Insider, when we throw the biggest bash of the year to celebrate the Best of Warsaw. This year's gala is gearing up to be better and bigger than ever so make sure to be a part of it! We've announced the nominees so far (see left) and look forward to seeing who comes out on top.

As for this month's issue, we're pulling forward with our summertime fitness program and making it last into summer, maximizing our beauty and health potential within and without!
