Today I got a reminder that it’s time to resubscribe to Allure
Magazine, along with the current issue. The only problem with that is that I am not a subscriber. In fact, this is the first time that particular magazine has ever crossed my threshold. Now, I don’t know much about t he magazine, so I’m in no position to put it down too harshly, but … how can I say it? It’s a beauty magazine, and I don’t really buy beauty magazines. Unless you’re talking about how to make a garden beautiful. Then you’ve got my attention. If I were going to subscribe to a new magazine, I can think of a dozen that I’d rather get.
- Envoy
- Carmelite Digest
- Reader’s Digest
(Or even better, the French Edition
)
- Sunset
- Popular Science
- Better Homes and Gardens
- FamilyFun
- Prevention
- National Geographic
- Analog Science Fiction & Fact
(which would, of course, be handed straight over to my Charming and Patient Husband)
- The Tightwad Gazette
- Magnificat
Nothing against beauty magazines, but they just aren’t my thing. And why they thought I’d “renew” a magazine I never subscribed to in the first place is beyond me. A nice meander through the world of National Geographic sounds so very much more interesting.

Aw, that was worth sharing. Anyway, once you’ve had a post approved, you aren’t moderated anymore… so it accomplishes a greater purpose. 🙂
Yay! Another fan! I remember the Tightwad Gazette very well! In fact, I still have all the issues, if the mice haven’t eaten the box where they are stored. When she put out book versions of the newsletters, I got those too, and gave her books out as presents for years, whenever I encountered them again.
