What magazines do you subscribe to, and why?

I have a bevy of magazines, but I didn't pay for any of them! Yep, the hubby's Bohemian-ness is rubbing off on me. We receive Psychology Today, Body + Soul (I had no idea that was a Martha Stewart publication until I looked up the website just now), Marie Claire (ugh), and for a while there, Redbook (ugh).

The last two started appearing mysteriously on our doorstep and I couldn't figure out why for awhile. Turns out my beloved Budget Living went under and they sold our subscription to Marie Claire and Redbook. I don't know what on earth made them think I would like those magazines if I like Budget Living (which was a cool, DIY, save money on stuff type of mag directed at 20- and 30-somethings). Interestingly, the same thing happened with Organic Style, and I ended up with two subscriptions to Body + Soul.

Of course, this answer would not be complete if I didn't mention the much-anticipated return of Utne magazine to our household! My little sis Naomi got me a subscription for my birthday. Utne is one of my all-time favorites -- it's a compilation of stories from various alternative news sources and original stories about alternative news, cool people, and neat subjects. Yay, Utne! Yay, little sisters!
