Take some time for yourself this holiday season lovelies by snuggling up with a great magazine! Honestly, I love nothing more than reading a fab article or exclusive interview! And thankfully there are many affordable ways to enjoy them now, with the fantastic Readly coming out top by providing hundreds of publications at the touch of a button for a whole lot less!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

Ever since I was younger, I have loved reading magazines! From Shout to Cosmo, I adore picking up those glossy pages and spending hours reading the best stories out there. I go shopping seeking out the products I have seen and I reach out to journalists to praise them on their work when I’ve really loved it. 

However, since then, magazines have got a lot more expensive, causing many of us to see them as a luxury when we pick them up. Yet, this festive season, they are going to be key in helping us unwind. Grabbing one and spending a few hours by yourself enjoying it is simply lush if I do say so. Therefore, when I heard from Readly about their fantastic app, which can help you save money, I had to try it to report back to you all on what I found. 

With over 8,000 digital magazines and newspapers on offer, the app has publications from all over the world, in every language possible, in every genre you could want, for only £12.99 a month. When I recently went to buy one of my favourites, I found it was now over £6, so even reading just two different publications a month would see my money be returned. Plus, if I or you read more, the app would really help us save. 

I am a big fan of celebrity and fashion magazines, so having the app on my tablet meant I had loads to pick from, making all the appointments I’ve had to go to a lot easier to bear. The app is a breeze to use to lovelies! From the moment I downloaded it, I couldn’t pick the publications I wanted to read, which included Cosmopolitan, BBC Good Food, Women’s Health and more. Every time I clicked on the app, the newest and older editions, were right there at my finger tips. Plus, the app updated quickly every morning to show the latest newspapers as well.

There are so many reasons why I loved the app, including helping to encourage me to keep reading, find new hobbies to pursue and to spark conversations with my mum, especially when it came to talking about what I had read that we could do to our Christmas dinner. I also didn’t feel bad when I was done with the magazine, as I knew I wouldn’t have any paper waste leftover. 

I also adored the fact that five of us could use one account, both on and offline, as the publications could also be downloaded to read when we might not have internet usage. Something that made the kids magazines even better, as they would be great for them to read on a long genre with the worries that a connection may be lost. 

This year, for the Christmas gift giving season and beyond, Readly have made the Readly Gift Card, which allows the recipient to get with a three, six or 12 month subscription that start at £31 for three months. A real bargain if you are like me and read lots of pricey magazines. Plus, if you buy if for a family or large household, with five profiles being allowed, it is a gift that can stretch across many. Make sure to take a look at their website lovelies to find out more.

I was so impressed with the Readly app and have recommended it to so many. I was going to ask for a magazine subscription for Christmas but instead I’m asking for a Readly one, as it will go so much further, whilst also providing many self care and cosy moments!
