Please Consider the Environment

I am a magazine fanatic! I love subscribing to magazines that deal with fashion, beauty, life style, parenting and GOSSIP! Last year I had too many subscriptions and I was backlogged 3 months. I decided this year to only subscribe to mags that I am committed to reading as soon as I receive it in the mail and focus on reading more thought provoking material.

The magazines I decided to continue reading are Domino, Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Elle Décor, Glamour, O at Home, O – Oprah Mag, Real Simple, In Style and Essence. A few new magazines I’ll add to my list is: Martha Stewart Living and Rachel Ray. I am very upset that they got rid of Blue Print – it was such a great magazine.

I know this will sound very crazy but I decided not to continue with Lucky. Don't get me wrong Lucky is a wonderful magazine and my co-blogger swears by them, however it doesn't do much for me. I love fashion but it is 1) too much "style" information in one in magazine and 2) it only pisses me off when I can’t buy the things I’ve tagged! I have over 12 mags with tags of things I want but let's be realistic, how often do you buy the things you see in magazines?

Anyhow, the point of this post is that my renewal to Elle is due and I didn't realize digital subscriptions were available. I can purchase the digital copy, download it and watch it when I want. No more worries about my magazine arriving late because as soon as the monthly issue is ready to be release it is in my inbox, now that’s awesome! Having a digital issue is eco-friendly, saves trees and my boyfriend will be happy to see less magazines around the house. The only problem with everything being digital is it deprives me of touching the glossy pages, tearing out the article that “moved me” and being able to carry my mags with me wherever I go.

I guess if I want to help the environment, I will subscribe for the digital subscription, download it and start carrying my Mac book with me, guess I solved my own problem.
