The Saturday Seven: Magazines I Read

I don't know about you, but there are a few magazines that I subscribe to regularly, and then a few that I buy from the new stand when something catches my eye. Despite being of the Internet Age, I still enjoy reading magazines. There are a few magazines that I tend to save, resulting in hideous stacks and stacks, filling closets and shelves. When I travel, I tend to load up on even more magazines at the airport. They are the ideal quick read for someone with A.D.D. or just in need of a quick escape without having to invest too much time. This brings me to another scintillating edition of The Saturday Seven: Magazines I Read


#1 Palm Springs Life: This one should come as no surprise to you. It appropriately bills itself as "California's Prestige Living Magazine". Aside from interesting articles and great photo spreads, it has a society section in the back which I track carefully.

#2 The Robb Report: This magazine makes me feel good, even though half of what's in it are outrageously priced things, it is fun to dream a bit. It is sort of like window shopping at Neiman-Marcus.

#3 Architectural Digest: Probably should be my number one magazine because I've been reading this for a very long time- since I was a kid really. I love looking at people's homes, and fascinating places around the world.

#4 Clean Eating: A new magazine for me that I found at Whole Foods; it has such great content. It's the right balance of everything-info about food, how to eat better, stuff about going green, etc.

#5 Gourmet: The trustworthy cooking magazine that has incredible photography of all kinds of dishes. I actually use this when I entertain to get new ideas.

#6 Men's Health: We men need advice and ideas on how to live. It's kind of a cross between your coach, the school nurse, and your dad, giving you advice and stuff to think about.

#7 Newsweek: Sometimes I feel guilty about not keeping up on things in the world and like to read a good news magazine with some editorial. I would also throw in magazines like The Economist, US News & World Reports and Time in this category.

bonus entry: Wine Spectator. This is a great magazine for anyone who enjoys wine and wants to learn more. Ratings, reviews and all kinds of details about things like the affect of regional soil quality, weather and rain on wine production.
