Easy Living Magazine

Easy Living is a magazine that I had never read before and to be honest the name isn't really that inspiring it wouldn't have motivated me to pick it up off the shelf. However my mum lent me the magazine to read so I thought I would give it a try. On opening the magazine I discovered that it was published by Conde Nast who are the people who also publish magazines including Vogue and Glamour. The magazine costs £3.20 and is published monthly. The August Issue which is the one I am reviewing has 188 pages so it's quite a good size. It's sometimes difficult to determine who the target market is for a particular magazine but I would guess that it is for women ...  Read the complete review

I don't usually buy glossy mags (they are a bit on the pricey side and seem to be full of adverts),I usually go for Heat,Closer or Reveal. A few months ago my husband rang me to say he had found this voucher in a newspaper where you got Easy Living Magazine For a £1 ( I think it was for a £1 anyway) and it was giving a bag away.

Published by the company responsible for Vogue and Glamour I think the intended readership for this magazine is women in their early thirties onwards. This magazine has sections similar to the majority of women's magazines: - In The Know - the obligatory ...  Read the complete review

I have subscribed to Easy Living for several years now - since it first appeared on the shelves. I love having it delivered once a month to my house and I get really excited when I see it drop onto the doormat! It is my favourite of its genre and, unlike many other magazines, I do not get the same guilty feeling as when I read some of the gossipy, celebrity magazines, or a glossy - half-filled with ads for VERY expensive make-up, models in strange outfits and miracle rejuvenating skin creams. I love this magazine because it is aimed, in my view, at intelligent, broad-minded and mature women, who have grown out of the celeb magazines and need a bit more to ...  Read the complete review
