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 super thanks for asking.

Loads to read in Good Housekeeping and makes me feel like whippersnapper at 44. Psycologies quite good.

I'm 33 and read Red and Vanity Fair although am going off Vanity Fair. I flick through Easy Living in the newsagents

My name is Notyummy and I have a BAD magazine habit:

Grazia
Red
She
Marie Claire
Easy Living
Essentials
Zest
National Geographic

Occasionally running magazines and Heat as well.....

Am 39 btw.

I am 36, ex journalist and I don't read any magazines anymore because they are sooooooo tedious.

I got to the point where if I read another feature consisting of:

"my(made up) friend Tamara, met me in a wine bar and sobbed her heart out because she didn't know how to give blowjobs/accessorise/ask out Derek in accounts," I would force myself to forget how to read.

Ditto - getting a beach body, how do you know be' loves you, why your best friend/sister is a bitch and how Keira Knightley stays slim without dieting.

I am 34 and read Red, Essentials and Marie Claire.

I also flick through heat, grazia and Now if they are left in the staff room at work.

Bloss - I think Red and She have quite a similar vibe to Eve tbh, so you might like. There is a annoying thread of articles running through Red of previously highly paid women who have given up their high pressure jobs and are now 'living the dream' making macrame 'things' in their beautiful country homes/offices, having discovered the evils of the capitalist rat race. (The fact that the sale of their vast piles in London and highly paid husbands have allowed them this idyll is always glossed over...)

Cynical, moi?

I stopped buying them when I hit 40 and realised what a waste of money they are and how repetitive they seem to be.

The only one I buy is Grazia now and again for the fashion and they usually have a good discount in.

I save the monthlies for the hairdressers, its part of the experience!

Yup

"I don't know how she does it: slim legged, alabaster skin and a trim waist which belies her four apple-cheeked, golden locked cherubs tumbling around the extensive grounds of her £1.5m Surrey barn conversion.
It may look like a fairytale idyll but Portia Fauntleroy- Goldsmith is almost a self made woman, running her own cupcake business while husband Gideon tops up her earnings with a day job as a hedge-fund manager. "

Bleurghhh

Why should I be interested in this bullshit?

I'm delightful, thanks (and 29).

I buy French Vogue very occassionally to drool over the pictures and try to read the articles. Otherwise, like kittya I only read mags at the hairdressers

I do, however, spend an inordinate amount of time on GoFugYourself and the New York Times Style pages, as it's free, on t'internet and more interesting than magazines

gofug. It's GENIUS I tell you

I'm 48 and I never buy magazines and haven't done for years.

I've got a bit of a cold, but other than that I'm fine - thanks for asking! I'm 29 and the only monthly mag I get is Fortean Times

I'm ok, Ds is driving me a bit nuts but thanks for asking

I have subscription for Garzia. I sometimes buy trash like Ok and after flicking through vow never to buy it again. But a month or so later I do it again

I am 31

Iam 53 and I read
woman
best
take a break
woman's weekly
people's friend

Opps Grazia

How it works
Trail
Focus
Country Walking
MBR (mountain bike mag)the caver
T3
Empire
NME (weekly)
Kerrang
These are relevant to my interests

I get sent the magazine from the BMC

I am 45(and a 1/2)

I'm 41 and have subscriptions to She, Red and Psychologies. Used to subscribe to Easy Living but changed to Red as EL was getting very samey.

Feeling fine today, thank you .

I'm 34 and get Red, Marie Claire and Glamour on subscription.

Also like Grazia and occasionally Easy Living, She, Cosmo etc.

And I'm fine, thanks!

41

Subscribe to New Scientist, MsLexia and Selvedge, and Candis.

Also sometimes buy - depending on mood -

Red, She, Marie Claire
Grazia
Ideal Home, Grand Designs and the like
Your Hair and suchlike (when I need a haircut)

I do LOVE magazines. I know a lot of them are full of crap but I have a very busy life with 2 DC and a job that requires intense concentration. I love having a hot bubble bath and the mindless vacuity of a fabulously trashy mag.

New scientist I use for work but also enjoy if I feel like something more serious. Sometimes though, even a magazine is too much for my frazzled brain and it has to be the Boden catalogue!

I am 41 and I buy/read the following:
heat
delicious
olive
living etc
house & home
new scientist (dh's but I always read it too)

42

Vogue, Elle, Red, Olive, Burda sewing, Marie Claire, Elle Deco, Living, Private Eye

If I'm desperate then I'll get Woman & Home, Grazia and the Supermarket ones esp Waitrose & Sainsburys

My next door neighbour has a subscription to Prima and she passes it on to me with the free sewing pattern.

I am a magaholic

Oh and every Christmas mag going in December.

Oh yes forgot Sainsbury's magazine - it's actually pretty good.

I will also read Heat, Now etc. but only if they're someone else's - I'm too embarrassed to buy them!

I used to read Eve too and really liked it. When it folded I moved on to Red and Easy Living, I used to have subscriptions to both. I found they got really samey though, and I got sick of reading about people who gave up their high flying job to become a florist/bake cupcakes/sew bunting etc etc.

I realise it is a bit embarrasing reading Good Housekeeping at 32! The first copy I bought was a Christmas one with a Nigella interview in and I just liked the style.
