How are you and what monthly mags do you buy?

[hugebelly]

I'm 33 and I buy Red and Easy Living. Mostly because I like the fashion spreads and their beauty bits.

I'm 31.
I subscribe to Red, and I also buy Psychologies and sometimes Marie Claire.
Occasionally buy Grazia.
Bought OK the other day on impulse (why?). Took all of 15mins to flick & bin it.

Cointreau - agree the name Easy Living put me off a bit at first.

I think its the best mag around tbh , with Red a close second. Brilliantly on trend but wearable fashion, good beauty/skincare features, loads of reading, a great health section too. I'd say its really relevant for the 30-45 age group??

39 - Subscribe to Red (birthday gift), Grazia & Good Food(Xmas gift). Just subscribed to Your Home and Good Homes last week (for redecoration inspiration).

35 and an ex-magazine-junkie, till DCs came along and I don't get much time for them any more.

Also I've got a bit irritated by several of them lately, so the only one I ALWAYS get now is Glamour. Mostly as it has a sense of humour/doesn't take itself too seriously like a lot of the others, and because they actually have some fashions that are affordable, not just ridiculously pricey designer things! (And no I do NOT have time to wander round shops trying to find looks "inspired by" the designer ones but cheaper...)

I still occasionally read Cosmo but find it a bit young and silly now, and Marie Claire has some good bits but too many adverts and too much expensive designer stuff. Am currently midway through an issue of Red though (which I don't usually read), and that is not too bad so far, though a bit dull in places.

Occasionally I might get a House Beautiful or Ideal Home too, if I am looking for ideas or they have a good offer on. But HATE anything full of "slebs"!

30, subscribe to Grazia, try to resist Heat, occasional treat Elle, Vogue or Marie Claire. I used to like Eve but it doesn't exist any more.

Grazia is very judgey though. Every single issue bangs on about how all women should stay at home baking cakes and suchlike. The last one said we could all learn from the defined gender roles in the gypsy community

I do love the fashion in it though.

Fine, thanks - specially for my age. I buy Grazia, Red, and Woman and Home regularly, and sometimes Harpers. Also Elle in French and Grazia in Italian whenever I get the chance.

I expect Good Housekeeping think they're aimed at my age group but can't be much bothered with it - articles thin and boring and same 60ish celebs keep getting rotated on the cover - Twiggy and Lulu in particular. There is a limit to my interest in them.

I used to buy Red, Vogue and sometimes Harper's Bazaar.

I am 32 and now buy The Economist. Which may account for the sorry state of my wardrobe but greatly improved self esteem

I am 32 and have a subscription to Good Housekeeping

I also read Easy Living and Country Living.

I fear I am old before my time...

33 and each month i buy red, i usually buy she and easy living at some point as well. I also like good homes or the other one your home (or something like that)

I am 46 and have subscriptions to SHE, Easy Living and Good Housekeeping.

Sadly, my favourite is GH

28. Prima.

I'm 34 and buy Essentials every month, and the Weightwatchers mag most months (from my meeting - much cheaper for members!). Also get Empire mag every month, but that's for me and DH. Occasionally get Look as I like fashion mags and don't want to pay through the nose for page after page of Chanel and Gucci adverts, but it's gone very sleb-twaddley which is putting me off. I have MN for that!

I am 39 and don't buy mags anymore - that was the deal when I got my Kindle! I loved Closer every week and then usually something like Good housekeeping.

Jemima - Good Housekeeping at 32? You may well blush, young lady!

I feel a speculative purchase of Easy Living coming on, though. I just about squeeze into the 30-45 bracket (just!).

I'm 35 and I subscribe to Red and She. Not a huge fan of She but I always used to buy Eve and since that was discontinued switched to She (one mag a month is not enough!). I read the articles and features but ignore almost everything else (fashion and so on).

37, red and grazia. I am a magazine slut though and would happily read anything.

Thirty years old. Subscribe to Good Food, Jane Austen's Regency World, and Classics from the Comics (for sad nostalgic twat the kids). Buy the occasional Vogue or Ideal Home. Try to avoid buying cross-stitch mags but they always have little things in plastic bags stuck to them and it's SO- HARD- TO- RESIST! Buy OK and Hello when travelling or sick.

29 and love easy living but also read she or red and often grazia although as others have said its a bit clebby and over priced clothes.

I still miss eve too. Fab mag, great fashion, inspiring (in a none cherry menlove way!!)

42, Red and Woman and Home. I sometimes buy Grazia, and then think that I should't have bothered.

i need a new magazine. Atm, I'm down to the Fabian magazine and the Amnesty one, then of course the ones free with the Guardian and Observer. I sometimes get the New Statesman or the New Scientist, or even the odd BBC good food, and I read DHs Viz, but nothing is really...grabbing me atm.

A suggestion of a magazine with a few clothes, no diets, lots of proper stories (without the phrase "in time..." like very single story in TAB), a bit of politics, bit of science, maybe the odd article about cupcakes etc but not all the time, a bit about sex, a bit about literature, would be great, if anyone has one?

(oh, ideally from a lefty/feminist/thrifty pov, but nothing daft - I once bought green parent and it was full of utter nonsense of the homeopathic/anti-vac/use crystals to clean your toilet ilk)

I'm 40 and read Woman & Home, She, Red, Easy Living and Good Housekeeping.

I am 34 and I love love love Marie Claire. Sometime buy vogue but the fashion is always £££££ but great for trends and inspiration.

I'm a bit more like butterpieify. I get the Amnesty magazine and one from the Medical Foundation for Victims of Torture. If I'm going on a long train journey I get either the Economist or Prospect (depending on whose perpectiove on the world I want to get up to speed with). I love casting my eyes over Hello at the hairdressers and Country Living at the Doctors, but refuse to buy either. And I take a peak at dh's New Scientist or Scientific American if he leaves it in the loo

I'm 40. I read Heat most weeks, Glamour and Red monthly. My subscription to InStyle has lapsed. I have a subscription to Good Food. My mum passes over Good Housekeeping. By the sounds of things, Easy Living and She have improved! I may have to give them a go. I love magazines, especially need a weekly one, like Jackie! I also used to love Eve.
