Few things in life give me more pleasure than sitting down with a giant mug of Coffee Crisp hot chocolate and slowly reading every detail that affects Martha Stewart's scheduled month. This page is the first page of every issue and even I don't really understand exactly why I love it so much, to be honest. The organization of her life maybe? How envious I am of her gardening skills? The fact that she uses phrases like "Gentle Reminders"? I don't know. It's a complicated kind of love. One that I hope to never quite fully understand. She's just so in control of her life. Love this woman so much.
Cheap Magazine Subscriptions
Obviously, you know I'm into handwritten mail. Who isn't? But you know what's also pretty sweet? Magazines, baby. I waited, oh, about four years before fulfilling a dream and finally subscribing to Martha Stewart Living. Why did I wait? It always seemed too expensive. The only reason I finally signed up was because of the crazy deals that most magazine subscriptions are offering now. (This definitely sounds like an ad. A bad ad. Sorry about that.) GQ offered a year-long subscription rate of $5 FOR THE YEAR a few weeks back (it's now at $15 for the year), so it's good to check off and on.
This is basically just a public service announcement telling you that if you've been putting off subscribing to some magazine you've always wanted to get but haven't because of money - well, you should go sign up now since magazines are definitely on their way out the door. I understand that's why they're charging so little, so it'd be smartest to get in on this now because they're completely gone.
You can find the weekly, cheap Amazon magazine subscriptions over here. But you should also check out an individual magazine's website as well. Mad deals all 'round. Get in on it.
(And if you're the type who's into tabloids... well... I genuinely hate myself for being the one to inform you of these deals. I really do.)
Tip - Troublesome Zippers
“Release a stubborn zipper by lightly rubbing a candle along the teeth on both sides to smooth the way.”
I just read this tip from Real Simple’s site. And here’s something, they’re a magazine as well! Okay, none of you are gonna agree with the placement of that last exclamation point, but it’s warranted. WARRANTED. ‘Cause that’s amazing! That site’s the best, so I’m definitely adding that subscription to my Wishpot. Such good ideas in that guy.
