Tony-Award-Winning Actress Katie Finneran Rings in the New Year on Jan/Feb Cover of VIVmag

NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --Offering a fresh start for the new year, the Jan/Feb issue of VIVmag, the original all-digital luxury lifestyle magazine for women, is now live and ready to enjoy. The new issue includes interactive features on self-improvement, and style and beauty trends, including expert tips and new diet and exercise research to help inspire readers to get a jump on 2012.

Katie Finneran, two-time Tony Award winner and star of the new Fox comedy I Hate My Teenage Daughter, graces this issue's cover and speaks about her decades-long career and how she knew she was destined to become an actor at 5 years old. Katie and actor husband Darren Goldstein (Damages) recently made the cross-country trek from New York to Los Angeles, where the Fox sitcom tapes. The new mom, who recently turned 40 and gave birth to son Ty on Feb. 3, 2011, feels a sense of contentment with her life: "I love being 40. I've never had an issue with getting older. All these years have taught me something and brought me to where I am today." 

"Starting a new year can be a trying time for a lot of people," said Anne M. Russell, editor-in-chief, VIVmag.  "Katie is strong, confident and beautifully self-accepting — something I think we all strive to be but can struggle with. With articles focused on healthy living, eating and exercise, this issue will help our VIVmag readers find their best selves and maintain healthy, happy, balanced lifestyles in 2012."

Features include expert advice on how to stick to diet and exercise routines, plan dream vacations on a budget, embrace the style trends for 2012, choose apps that aim to boost health and more:
