A bit droll : Powered by Amazon

Honestly, I've read many womens' magazines, but was never enticed by "Self" for some reason. It seems like a magazine that is for women obsessed by workouts and fitness, but at the same time, it also features other mostly below average articles you would expect to find in other womens' magazines, articles that are about budgeting (for single women) and sexy clothing/makeup and stuff of that sort. My question is: why? If you're going to focus so much on fitness, make this a more hardcore magazine for true athletic women and cut-out all the celebrity nonsense and Cosmo-wannabe articles.
I never really read any of the articles in this magazine. I mean, how much more boring can it get to read about the perfect lunges or push-ups without getting a bit droll? This is the sort of magazine I rush through and can't seem to get rid of fast enough. Maybe it's just me, but who needs to read about the perfect set of ab exercises over and over again? Is everyone out there really that superficial? And like I said before, the magazine seems to be superficial when it comes to fitness too. True fitness should be mind, body, and soul, not just having tight abs and expensive fashion and makeup. Having a nice set of a particular muscle group isn't necessarily healthy or good fitness either. |

| I have ordered and paid for this magazine yet still have not seen any subscriptions. I am very disappointed as I also order Glamour the same day and have already received two different months. Not sure where Self is going wrong but they need to model their turnaround time for new orders similar to Glamour. |

The real life story it has is a little gruesome, (with pics of woman who lost her breast to dieting, bloody and sewed up nipples.... eek!)
I like something more inspiring. There's a few, (very few) fitness stuff and the fashion pics--can't really wear that in public, looks better on the runway. |
