Who doesn’t love grabbing a good magazine or paper whilst lounging in the garden or by the pool? For me, a magazine is a staple buy each month, having bought many a subscription over the years! There so, I thought I would share with you all my top five magazines I like to read each month to help me relax wherever I am!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

As we flow into August, I am preparing to go on a little trip to the seaside to see my family. Whilst I will pack and ensure I have all the essentials, I also like to make sure that I have a good magazine to read whilst travelling. 

Whether it is a digital or physical copy, I’ve always loved a magazine. Even when I was little! In fact, I can remember having the Sabrina, S Club 7 and Sneak magazine subscriptions held at my local corner shop. My mum even used to send my copy of Sneak to me when I was on school trips. 

This love affair has inspired me to share my top five must-reads that will elevate your time relaxing to the next level…

Cosmopolitan: This magazine is like a reminder to me of growing up! I loved Glamour and how fun the articles were, yet when that stopped, I couldn’t find anything like it. Luckily, Cosmopolitan fell into my lap and I discovered that charm again. Actually, I would say I prefer this magazine. With quizzes, fun articles and great celebrity interviews, this reminds me of summer holidays and Christmas parties when I read it.  

BBC Easy Cook: I stumbled across this magazine in my local newsagents and found myself finishing it within 20 minutes. I loved the simplicity of the recipes, which include ingredients that we should all have in our kitchens. Nothing over the top, just easy recipes that have helped me during my food struggles.

Women’s Health: For years, I thought this was just a magazine for people who worked out. A triggering thing for someone trying to recover from exercise addiction. However, when I actually picked up a copy, I found it to be full of interesting overall health features. From female matters to mind and relaxation, I now read it monthly to discover the latest in how to live well. In fact, I actually recently subscribed to it. 

The Simple Things: Equally stunning as it is interesting, I love the beauty of this magazine. Each year, I have to buy the Christmas edition, due to it being so gorgeous. I love the ease and relaxation that each article has, whilst teaching us a thing or two along the way. The playlists are also great too!

Elle: When Glamour magazine stopped, I needed something to fill its place. Luckily, around the same time, I was going to London Fashion Weekend, which Elle was sponsoring. I took out my first subscription and having looked back since. It’s my fashion bible. 

What magazine do you lovelies like to read? Let me know!
