Addictions are funny things. Some people become addicted to power, or money, or even worse drugs. Let me make a statement. Magazines. Oh. My.

I can empathize with you on the magazine lust.

RealSimple and Blueprint are my crack (and dammit, a preview of Domino was sent to my house yesterday.

Mark takes care of the geek mags (WIRED, Gamer Development, etc). But oy, yes - I do understand.

Lurve! :)

Blueprint is actually a division of Martha Stewart, but it's so fresh and the information provided is really just useful. The magazines are definitely worth it. RealSimple is good, but I can't relate to everything. Domino I liked for a while, but everything inside is just so unattainable...for me at least. I'm never spending 4k on a dresser. Ever. :P

Try ShopSmart! It's by Consumer Reports and it ROCKS! They preview all types of things and every day folks buy and use. And because they are a division of Consumer Reports they are unbiased completely.

I'll see your Lurve and raise you a lick!

Martha Stewart is my (not-so) secret shiny. Her design team makes everything look so fabulous, and can I say how much I love Everday Food? That's another crack rock that gets me jonesing.

I had to laugh about your Domino comment, I totally agree with it - I am such a sucker for pretty vingettes though, ever the window shopper.

And ho ho! ShopSmart eh? I'll have to take a gander at that thanks for the suggestion, my little enabler you. :D
