International Travel News

International Travel NewsThis is a great magazine. I recently began subscribing and got a bunch of back issues to read. It is by readers and for readers. Nothing amateurish about it, though. Lots of good information for all aspects of international travel (in this case, "international" means outside North America and the Carribean). Definitely worth trying.

This magazine is all about first hand international travel. There are travel advisories, packing tips for different countries, problems found along the way (with information to solve these problems if you run across them), and NO ADVERTISING! So you don't have to wade through page after page of ads. And there is no risk of an entire issue devoted to travel in the US. I'm letting other travel subscriptions lapse, and keeping this one active.

It is black print on newspaper, in a standard magazine size.

Yoga Journal (1-year auto-renewal)

Yoga JournalI am just starting my yoga practice, and as I looked for more details of poses and such online after class, I kept ending up on the YogaJournal.com website. Last time grocery shopping I picked up a copy, couldn't put it down, and ordered a subscription. As a beginner I have found it VERY interesting with articles on how yoga is helping patients mentally and physically with breast cancer, common sense articles on herbs for ailments AND yoga poses to ease an ailment also, many others--I read it literally cover to cover. I found it really helpful to go from class (a bunch of ladies bonding over our struggles to balance or stay in a pose) to how the rest of the (yoga) world perceives/practices/enriches through yoga! I found it perfectly readable for a complete beginner to augment class instruction (oooh the possibilities!!!) to wanting to set it aside and review as I get further along in the future. And their website is a wealth of information as well.

I'm really quite fond of this magazine. It does a very good job of mixing in a variety of aspects of a yoga life, and addressing each aspect in a helpful and entertaining manner.

There are of course pages on poses, with clear photos, succinct instructions and explanations on how to modify them if you have to. There are pages on eating healthy. There are stories from people in a variety of walks of life, talking about how even minor changes in their lifestyle brought about significant results.

Then there are the pages which can make a huge difference in another way. A recent article had an article on forgiveness how it is so important not to carry grudges and hatred. Those feelings rarely harm to "person who did you wrong" but they eat up your own body, filling you with stress, tension, and unhappiness. It's amazing how many people I run into who carry these kinds of whole-heart grudges, often from incidents 10 or more years ago!

If you're more advanced, there is content for you as well. Articles about some of the intricate details of yoga might seem a bit complex for newbies, but if you store your magazines, after a few months going back and re-reading those articles can bring fresh information.

There are articles about youngsters doing yoga, older people doing yoga, and anything in between. There are ads for very expensive retreats in exotic locations but also information on being mindful in a frugal manner.

I do have to say that most of the images shown are of young, 20-something sexy models, and it'd be nice to show a wider selection of people doing the poses. Still, that complaint can probably be made with just about every magazine out there.

Well recommended!

Buy Yoga Journal (1-year auto-renewal) Now

This magazine is a good one to read if you are someone who practices yoga. It is subject to some of the same things that people will find annoying with many magazines for the most part. Yes, it has changed with more advertisements, but many magazines have had the same thing as they try to keep going. The subsciption is reasonably priced and they need to stay in business.

Basically you need to look past that and read the articles. There is alot of valuable tips and very good information about yoga in the pages that will benefit you and makes it worthwhile. Every month I glean one or two things at least that I find personally worthwhile and it keeps me up to speed about yoga in general. If you are concerned, just pick up an issue before subscribing and give it a chance and read the articles. You will be happy you did.

Let me start out that I paid $5 for a one-year subscription to this magazine, that to my understanding will be 6 issues. The cover advertises the stand price as $4.99 an issue, so I'm very please with the price I paid....Reason primarily being that this magazine is two-thirds advertisements! Very nearly every time I turn the page there is one full page of ads and in many cases, the side with content has 1/3 page ad or the occasional 2/3!!!

Ohh I enjoy some of the articles, the depth of the yogi mindset seems to be in every one of them. The many pictures are very inspiration with a few lines here and there that I like to write down for inspiration as well. In a nutshell: Depending on the price, I will probably renew. It's a nice read, however halfway through the magazine I'm incredibly annoyed with the amount of advertisements for expensive extras. I will update as the year goes on as to whether the articles are too similar from one month to another.

Want Yoga Journal (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

I've been practicing yoga for a little over two years and therefore consider myself to be an intermediate beginner. I've been receiving Yoga Journal for four months and regret that I had not subscribed earlier. It has broadened my view of yoga in general and provided excellent advise on how to improve my practice via pose specific instruction and photographs as well as describing the actual benefits internally and externally of the pose itself on my body. I intend to renew this subscription when the time comes.

Kerrang - England

Kerrang - EnglandThis International magazine should be refered to as the Blue-Book of good metal Music... Forget all of those "Boy-Metal" bands like creed or Linkin Pork...They have quality bands like Soulfly, Messhugha, Machine Head, etc... Plus great book, movie, and video game reviews...(if your into that)The only down fall is the $$ Price $$ but, you get your money's worth!

Kerrang! is by far the most informative rock magazine that has ever been published! I can count on Kerrang! to get the best interviews, be up to date, and get the facts straight from the mouths of the musicians. Its a hard to find magazine in the US, but if you can spare the money it is well worth your dollar if your intereseted in the world of hard rock. They also cover a wide range of bands that the US wouldn't even touch, and are always turning you on to new music with free CDs.

I have had nothing but problems with getting this magazine. Numerous emails to the publisher and clearly they have no idea what they are doing. Missed 6 issues straight. I wouldn't bother subscribing to this unless you enjoy getting a headache.

Elle (1-year auto-renewal)

ElleI happen to really enjoy Elle, I believe that they have an even balance between fashion trends, accessories, shoes, articles and interviews. I do wish they would place less celebrities on magazine covers and more models again, but it is nice to see your favorite singer or actress on a magazine, esp Gwen Stefani who is always gorgeous. The magazine does tend to lean more towards the left in terms of politics but thats fine with me, if that isn't your preference maybe another magazine would be better suited for you. That aside, I'd say that out of all the high fashion magazines Elle would rank right next to Harper's Bazaar but behind Vogue.

OK we KNOW that you have all the "fashion" magazines already or you wouldn't be checking out this review. You might even be thinking to yourself-how can I possibly justify spending any more of my hard-earned cash looking at pictures of clothes/shoes/bags I will never in a million years be able to buy? The justification comes from something called a "point of view" which this mag has in spades compared to some of the others. They post great suggestions on undiscovered quality literary finds, recognize the difference between looking at a design for it's artistic merits and actually trying to walk in 5 1/2" platforms, wonderful columnists like E.Jean give good advice--basically we are talking about a cross between New Republic/Time/Vogue--with that combo the price makes this mag a great buy!

Buy Elle (1-year auto-renewal) Now

I have subscribed to Elle for nearly 20 years and I have seen it change in recent years into more of a In Style type mag. There is increasing focus on celebrities, with one on every cover. I find this annoying--if I wanted to see Britney Spears or Posh Spice I would buy the Enquirer or People. I wish Elle would go back to featuring relatively unknown models instead of actresses. I think the recent change in leadership is causing the magazine to have an identity crisis. They can't really compete with Vogue but they're not sure who they should be...InStyle? People? Glamour?

Despite the recent turmoil however, it's still a good magazine. I love the book recommendations, in-depth articles, and of course E.Jean.

This magazine is nothing more than a bunch of ads. There are very few stories put at the end of the magazine and the articles don't match the headlines on the front of the magazine. I only paid $5.00 for the entire year but I won't be renewing or recommending anyone else to purchase this product either. Don't waste any more trees to print this crap.

Want Elle (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

If you are an Elle Fan than of course this is probably a good deal. I subscribed for a year, but didn't get much out of it. I prefer Instyle more. The articles didn't interest me. I gave it three stars because Amazon did it's job, but Elle is not as impressive.
