Real Simple


A year ago this May, I took a trip out to Los Angeles to visit my good friend Karla. While staying at her and Aaron's place, we cooked up a dinner using a recipe from a Real Simple magazine. While Aaron and Karla chopped and diced up veggies, I helped myself to some wine while leafing through the magazine (I'm so helpful, I know). And guess what, I fell in love with the magazine.
What really caught my eye was an article about the best beauty buys under $10. Now I'm about the most frugal person out there, just ask Karla, and so of course this article peaked my interest. But there were also articles on organizing, cooking and health, which are all things that interest me!

So for the past year I've picked up the magazine while standing in line at the grocery store just to browse through it. I bought the magazine for my cruise through the caribbean for something fun to read. Finally, three weeks ago I actually ordered a year's subscription to it. I got my first magazine in the mail yesterday and I love it!

This is my new favorite magazine, for sure.

If I had known how much you were pining away for a Real Simple subscription, I could have done a gift subscription for you! If only I had known of your new love!
