Online Magazines

some of you may know that i don't like subscribing to a lot of magazines because i don't want the clutter in my home.  i've limited myself to 2: Real Simple (that my generous sis subscribes to me every year since forever ago) i love that it covers a whole spectrum of things inspirational articles, the non-obligatory book list, recipes, fashion, decorating and more.  my favorite part of the magazine is the new uses for old things section- in one particular magazine they shared 10 uses for a rubber band... it came in pretty handy!

the other magazine i receive is House Beautiful.  i subscribed to it last year when Amazon was running a special- 1 year for $10.  how could i turn that down?  if you're looking for a bargain, check in frequently with Amazon.com under their "magazines for $10 or less" section.  when you're there just beware of signing up for the auto-renewals.

to get my magazine fix i usually camp out at the library or the bookstore and browse through their selection.  if i find an image i like, i'll either snap a picture with my camera phone or if i'm at the library, i'll splurge the 10 cents and make a photocopy. 

another way i satisfy my magazine fix is looking at online magazines.  they are awesome, convenient, and i just love them. :o)

here are a few i have found:
