O, The Oprah Magazine —
When I was pregnant, I decided to re-evaluate my magazine subscriptions. With all the baby and parenting books and magazines I was starting to accumulate, I decided to only keep two magazine subscriptions. O (Oprah's mag) was one of the keepers. It is so well rounded and covers so many real life topics. I love the book and movie reviews. I also really like the clothing reviews and suggestions because they are down to earth and realistic, which makes them very different from the clothing reviews you find in so many other magazines. The clothing featured in Oprah's magazine is actually wearable on a daily basis and you won't look hideous wearing it!I have subscribed to this magazine for years and only have three complaints along the way:
1) I sometimes receive my magazine AFTER it has already hit the newstands. I called their subscription line about this and was told there was nothing they could do about it. I wasn't pleased with that response, as one of the traditional perks of being a subsriber to a magazine was that your received it on the same day or before it hit newstands.
2) Oprah's favorite things tend to be pricey. In the past year or so, she seems to have scaled back and included some more affordable thigns as well.
3) The clothing reviews are missing a HUGE (no pun intended) group--pregnant women! I wasn't aware of this until I was pregnant myself...but then it really stood out that none of the clothing reviews included a category for pregnant women!
