Oh, and I also signed up for the “free trial”, received a bill and no issue(!). Ended up buying it at the book store eventually, but won’t be buying it again.

i was wandering through the grocery store this past friday evening and saw blueprint, it seemed interesting enough to purchase. i consider myself somewhat of a magazine addict and along with that comes a general bias toward the wealth of magazines out there. however, this one really won me over. for the first time in years i do believe i read nearly every page.

i too enjoy real simple and lucky and the occasional living (the halloween and easter issues!) but this one? for some reason it struck a chord with me enough so to gush and gush when upon returning home from completing my year at college and gasped when i saw my mother had bought it too!

it does seem to be geared toward a younger crowd (which at 19, i adore) in many ways, but i do feel that a lot of it was easy enough to incorporate into my own life, something i haven’t found with living or real simple, at least to this degree.

so all in all, i loved the fact that it rolled all the elements into one. that saves me $15 dollars in purchasing the others too!

there is my 2 cents! take care =)

Now, if you want to talk about pissing someone off, let’s talk about Weekend Magazine. I subscribed to it about 2 and a half weeks before the relaunched issue was going to hit stands 8 weeks later I still hadn’t received anything. They told me that international orders had to add on another 9-12 weeks for delivery! I live in Canada – not Nepal! And what was I paying an extra $20 for international deilvery for if they couldn’t deliver it on time? It had been on the the stands over 3 weeks when I finally cancelled. Oh, and I won’t even go into how horrible customer service was to deal with.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this with Weekend?

Can someone help kill the suspense and let me know what shoe brands are featured in that first issue?

The curiosity is killing me.
