Cindi Leive, the new editor in chief, has overhauled the women's title, which in the last few years has trafficked heavily in Hollywood and carnal carnal adjective Referring to the flesh, to baser instincts, often referring to sexual “knowledge”  how-to's.

Leive's goal: Turn the Glamour girl into the gal-next-door. ``It's important that when the reader pages through this magazine, it's not a magazine dedicated to celebrity worship, it's not a magazine dedicated to glorifying runway models. It's a magazine dedicated to celebrating her, the reader, and her very fabulous life.''

Leive - formerly of Self magazine - is stocking her kinder, gentler Glamour with cheerful, relatable images - ``not from some art director's fantasy version of life, but inspiring, gorgeous versions of reality,'' she says.

Here are five ways Leive, 34, is trying to give Glamour a warmer glow:
