Carmel City Lifestyle magazine launched during April 2023, and it's an honor to be a part of this Clay Metropolis community. Each month, we rally around various themes spanning wellness, love, homes, local people, exploring life, pets, youths, fashion, food, drinks, thankfulness and giving traditions; plus important business announcements, images from community gatherings and upcoming events to attend. We invite readers to alert us about interesting people, helpful businesses, fun events, neighborhood initiatives and Carmel regional announcements.

"Small businesses are at the heart of America. And behind every business is a person with a dream. I love telling the stories of local Carmel business owners. Getting to know people in the Carmel community and helping them thrive is a passion."
