About
Joanna Colomas Magazine is a life lived close to God, close to nature, and close to the people in it.
It's homemaking, and raising children who run, climb, and learn by living rather than sitting still all day. It's the garden, the table, the land we're learning to live from. It's also fashion, beauty, and wellness — the parts of me that never left, just found their place inside something bigger. God isn't one topic among others here. He's simply present in all of it.
This isn't a blog, and it isn't an influencer feed. It's a community in the real sense of the word — not followers gathered around a person, but women living something similar, finding each other.
If you want a life that's graceful and grounded, beautiful and real, you're in the right place.
If you're here, maybe you're also tending to something — a home, a marriage, children, a faith you're trying to live out loud instead of just believe quietly. This magazine won't hand you a performance of that life. It will simply walk it with you: the slow parts, the hard parts, and the parts that still feel like grace.
The Woman Behind It
I'm Joanna. I grew up on the French Riviera, by the sea, in the kind of childhood that runs on sun and salt water and fruit eaten standing up — the kind you don't realize was a gift until you leave it for a while. I've never really stopped living that way.
Later, modeling took me around the world for a handful of years, with Los Angeles becoming home for much of that season. I don't regret those years. They taught me things about beauty, discipline, people, and the wider world that I still carry with me today.
What truly changed me, though, was becoming a mother.
For a while, I lost the version of myself I thought was the whole of who I was. And in that losing, I found my way closer to God, almost without meaning to. Slowly, quietly, everything began to fall back into place — in an order that finally made sense: faith first, then everything else around it.
Today, family is at the heart of our life.
My husband and I are raising our children intentionally, building a home shaped by faith, love, curiosity, and time spent together. We homeschool, but more than that, we try to give our children a childhood lived fully — outdoors, in nature, climbing, building, asking endless questions, getting properly dirty, and learning by doing. We believe childhood was never meant to happen primarily at a desk.
The love of beauty, however, has always been mine.
I have been fascinated by fashion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent hours creating clothes for my dolls long before I understood that fashion could be a profession. Later, I went on to study fashion in France, and although life has taken me in many different directions since then, that love has never left me. My Moroccan grandfather, endlessly elegant and creative, designed his own clothes and had them made by hand. He encouraged that love in me until the very end of his life.
Beauty still matters deeply to me — a beautifully cut coat, natural fabrics, a thoughtfully set table, the quiet pleasure of doing ordinary things well. I no longer see beauty as something to chase, but as one of God's many gifts to be enjoyed with gratitude and held with open hands.
Before children, our lives were shaped by cities — Los Angeles, Sydney, Doha, Dubai, and wherever work took us. Today, we divide our time between the English countryside and the South of France. And soon, somewhere else: a homestead, a ranch, a piece of land in a place that has always felt like home — because it used to be. We're simply going back.
