Mad about magazines.....

I love big glossy, colourful magazines where my imagination can take off to in a moments notice. I must admit they are one thing online but a lot more fun in hard copy. I love to browse the magazine section at Chapter's, they have so many. So here are the ones I subscribe to, but I will be adding more as time goes on, not necessarily my own but ones I feel worth mentioning.

Live life to the fullest, everyday,

The Oprah Magazine
I know I mentioned her before in the website section, but this magazine, is full of positive lifestyle ideas, living life to it's best. She really does have amazing energy to share.

My personal library on WELLNESS, believe me it does WORK

In my world of men (husband and sons) I have created my own little sanctuary, I call my "Girls Room". Here I am surrounded with frills, pretty pictures, flowers and my little "feel good" library. Today's postings are some of the books it includes with links(if they have them) to their online counterparts. Check back occasionally for new books. It's a beautiful day so I just may take my reading outdoors today.... stay well and happy.
