I’m turning 33 this Summer, and after some thought about what I’d like my fiancé to gift me, I came across a tiktok about magazines we used to read in our teens. Seventeen, Elle, Teen Vogue, etc. I just loved getting physical copies in the mail when I was a teenager, so I figure it’ll be a nice way to get a little whimsy in my life lol

I’m thinking of getting a year subscription to a magazine, but I’m not sure what’s good anymore. I love great photography, especially fashion, I love a good story, and I don’t mind the horoscopes or beauty tips I think they’re fun. I like indie publications, or the “mainstream” magazines. I just want something that’s not majority advertisements, and is fun to look through and read!

Hi fellow moderately granola moms (or soon to be moms like me)

I'm wondering if anyone here follows specific blogs or subscribes to magazines or something like that for crunchy parenting that they would recommend. I'd love a monthly magazine but even a newsletter would work! I'm not on facebook or instagram so I feel kind of limited on where to read things.

Thank you in advance <3

I’ve recently been really missing getting/reading magazines, and for some reason it feels very nostalgic to read a magazine as a SAHM. I remember very fondly my mom reading hers while sipping tea. Also I think it would be nice to read something instead of being in my phone. Any of you get any that you particularly like?

Hi! I'm 24 years old and live in Los Angeles. I remember when I was young for some reason I LOVED getting magazines and reading through them. Then, I went through a phase in high school where I recycled most of them by making art out of them and then in college I felt like I didn't have time to read extra things and wanted to be minimal and not own many things and thinking about the impact on the planet etc.. Plus I got my first laptop right before college and any news information felt accessible through the internet.

I haven't really thought about magazines until I was at the grocery store and saw RBG on the cover of Time and that made me think about magazines. Kind of a random topic that spurred in my head.

I am VERY guilty of checking my social media first thing I wake up and last thing before bed. I've tried reading books, stretching, and yoga before bed but I admit to breaking those habits or peaking on my phone afterwards. I've been thinking about maybe magazines as an alternative. Anyone have some off-screen thing they do before bed?

Do any of y'all have printed magazine subscriptions? If so, what are you subscribed to and what makes you want to keep your subscription? And maybe what is your age or any context you feel like giving.
