So what is unexpected about today's post:
- It's not about Jewellery
- It's a sponsored post as I was given the product as a gift
- It's also an advert as I have a reader offer for you
- For those who know me, you will be as surprised as I was that it didn't go straight in the bin
Hello! Magazine.
Yes I really did say Hello! Magazine.
When I attended #HullBloggerMeet we received a large Goody Bag that was provided as part of the meet for the Bloggers taking part. This contained a range of samples and full sized products for us to try and review if we wished. One of the things in my Goody Bag was Hello! Magazine.
Now I'm not a magazine person per se, when going to the GP, Hairdresser, Dentist or anywhere else where I may come across random mags in the waiting area; I'm the girl who takes a Kindle so I can read whatever book I'm currently into and avoid all the celeb gossip culture that seems to be everywhere I look. However between finishing one book and starting another, I picked up Hello! and started to read.
I've never actually read a copy before so I was expecting to quickly flick through looking at the photos out of curiosity and then bin it (in the recycle bin of course). Actually it wasn't half bad and I found I read the whole thing, especially the articles on Kylie and The Voice... and, I've er, not recycled it yet either. I'm not going to be buying a copy, however I was (really) surprised by how well it read and I would be tempted to pick one up for a read next time I'm in a waiting room... although that does depend on how gripping my current kindle read is. I'm particularly precious about my reading time at the hairdressers but I can see my GP/Dentist waiting time being different!
So if you fancy starting a Hello! subscription or pretty much ANY mag you can think of then read on...
READER OFFER
Hello! was provided by Unique Magazines, also a U... I'm so rocking today's A to Z Challenge! Unique Magazines are also giving me a reader offer to pass on to all you lovely folk, and yes, it does cover readers from outside the UK as I've already asked that question for you!

I admit, when I'm at the hairdresser, one of the first mags that I go for are the gossip ones :D Although I would say it's for the fashion, not for the "who's with who" gossip. I don't read them otherwise, so they are sort of my guilty pleasure there. Or the home design magazines, although with those I usually balk at the prices they have ($2500 for one lamp? I think not!). But at least some of the storage ideas or "make a small room feel big" ideas can be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us are magazine readers when somewhere else! I don't know that many people who buy a subscription for themselves, but are quite happy to get one as a gift. It's strange!

I have a background in fashion, but couldn't care less now-- I'm a book-addict these days. I'm sure your readers would love the offer, however.

I had a good dig around the site to check it covered all sorts before writing about it, but like you I tend to read books, even when in waiting rooms!
DeleteI do end up reading the in-flight magazine when I'm flying, from cover to cover though!
