You can't beat the simple pleasure of kicking back with a Chai Latte, a selection of chocolate biscuits and a good old glossy magazine. For me it used to be Red, Marie Claire, Psychologies, Company, Easy Living, Glamour, or sometimes even Vogue. But (in case you hadn't noticed!) we're in a recession and - while it pains me to say this - somethings gotta give. So these days when I curl up on the sofa it will be with freebie titles courtesy of the likes of Asda, Odeon, Merry Hill, Office, the John Lewis Partnership, Boots or Style Birmingham.
Personal faves at the moment are Source magazine (John Lewis Partnership) which has a fab range of articles on home, travel, cooking and lifestyle and isn't too hard sell. Meanwhile, Style Birmingham satiates my fashion-fix.
That's not to say I'll never buy another glossy again. But by cutting back my consumption it means I can justify buying that perfect Pea Coat (reduced from £70 to £40) and matching scarf (see left) from Oasis!So next time you're on the High Street keep your eyes open for the freebie titles. Just make sure they are actually free before you wander off with them!
Happy reading! Babe xx
