I *hate* this magazine. With a passion. The title is "Real Simple". It should be "Real Simple Ways To Blow All Your Money On More Crap And Destroy The Earth Faster in Order to Acheive the Appearance Of Simplicity". I think that kind of says it all.

Rather than having anything to do with simplicity - it helps you trash the things you already own - and REPLACE it all with NEW stuff that is definitely *not* inexpensive. You can LOOK like you live the simple life. At a cost. Simplifying your life is not about buying new Stuff. It's about NOT buying new stuff. And this entire magazine is a giant ad for Stuff and More Stuff.
