Re: Monday QOTD
I just read Family Circle for the first time yesterday and I loved it. I'm ordering a subscription. We will now get Cosmo, Self, Lucky (don't know how we started getting that one), Family Circle, Wine Enthusiast and Golf Magazine coming to our house!
ETA: I forgot to put the why. They had a nice variety of articles, from recipes to diet tips to organization tips to educating kids about sex safety, etc. I actually read it cover to cover.
Eating Well is by far my favorite magazine. It's like a cooking, health, gardening and fitness magazine all rolled into one.
I also get Organic Gardening, Vegetarian Times and DH gets Sports Illustrated and ESPN. We go through maghound.com
I love Glamour, because while it is still just as beauty obsessed as Cosmo, I feel like it is less sex-obsessed and has more of what could be called quality content.
People and Entertainment Weekly, because I only have six tv channels and there is no such thing as too much celebrity gossip.
Parenting and Parents. These have been my favorite magazines since I was ten.
I usually will pick up anything that catches my eye. I used to have a magazine obsession, but its gotten a lot better.
My favorite mag though is All You http://www.allyou.com/ I really like it because it has everything in it. Gossip, recipes, sex stuff, kids stuff, advice. Its the only magazine I can sit and read front to cover in one sitting. The rest I just browse through and only read a few articles.
People? IDK, I don't really like magazines that much. I got a subscription to Self and then realized how much I hate it. Same crap over and over and over.
I currently get Fitness, and love most of the fitness-related magazines for new ideas. I refuse to pay for them though, and will just pick up a copy at the doc's office or something to peruse. I got Fitness for free when I bought a workout DVD. I just like reading these because they seem to help me keep on track with exercising regularly and making healthy meals.
I also get Organic Gardening (it's nice to know Organic alternatives to caring for a garden), though it's quite a bit more "organic activist" than I am. It's nice to dream of having a great garden though!
"My 101 List - Updating asap, I swear!
I tend to pick one off the shelf every few months or so if something or someone strikes my eye.
I used to subscribe to Allure and I really liked it. Now, I steal my mom's Southern Livings when she's done with them....I like the recipes and decorating ideas. I also like that there's often info about upcoming events in our general area. My mom got me a subscription to Bon appetit for Christmas. I've only received one so far, but it's neat. It has more "fancy" recipes....which is why I was inspired to make trying new recipes and techniques my "resolution" this year.
Marie Claire. They have thoughtful articles about real female issues (such as the population crisis in China or female genital mutilation, etc) plus low-key fashion/makeup tips plus celebrity interviews, etc.
I also like US Weekly, perhaps b/c it's all fluff and I just can tale my mind off the real world for a bit. I subscribe to US and occasionally buy MC.
My Ovulation Chart
I don't usually read magazines. But I do read the Parents magazine because I have like 5 years subscription to it. LOL
when I travel for work, I pick up People, Us, etc type magazines for the celebrity gossip info. Just because.
