Slow to process
This is a fatastic magazine that is sure to help anyone in their everyday life in all areas from interesting trivia for better conversations to green cleaning and budget shopping to home decor and organization. My only complaint would be how long it takes for the order to process (for me, 2 months), having ordered this magazine as a gift for several people from all different places I would have to say it process faster if you order it from the Real Simple website. I don't really understand why its so slow, this is the computer age and I already entered all of the information for them, oh well.

This is the best
Worth the price for people who love to organize, give unusual gifts, or find clever ways to use what you already have laying around the house. The publication manages to do this without being or giving a cheap impression. Each issue has many pages. The photography and layout are great and the copy easy to read. The paper stock is of unusually good quality. The articles are appropriate in length and content, especially for someone who is busy and considering that the subject matter does not warrant the length of a thesis. It is a nice surprise each month - leaves you with good ideas and motivation to get things in order.

One of the best mags!
I especially love the products they "test drive".
The editor usually offers an opinion on one of her new favorite things
and they are always awesome products.

A great mag for ladies who like food, clothes and great articles.
This is not your mothers magazine...

Good
The Real Simple Magazine provides some great easy dishes/meals that you can make at home. It's a great magazine with worthwhile information.

Real Simple
I just LOVE this magazine. It is full of useful tips that have very little to do with sex and fashion (although their fashion section is actually quite helpful and realistic). I read it from cover to cover twice each month and pull out all the articles I want to keep. I actually use the recipes (all very good) and the tips on organization give me great ideas for my own home. $27.00 well spent!
