Over the past several years, I’ve grown tired of traditional magazines. Full of irritating ads and useless information that only makes me feel like I’m not good enough, I’ve pretty much sworn them off. That being said, I’m glad to report that there are several positive, pretty, modern magazines out there that you may or may not know about yet—so I thought I’d fill you in in hopes of helping you find a new favorite (or perhaps finding a good gift for a friend)…
Verily Magazine
Verily is a new kind of women’s magazine that that celebrates the best of who you are. They feature fashion that is worthy of the woman, relationship articles that go beyond sex tips, and strong cultural and lifestyle journalism. Verily is the modern woman’s go-to guide on how to lead a fulfilling, integrated life.
Chickpea Magazine
Chickpea is a community-based seasonal magazine that takes submissions for vegan recipes, personal stories related to vegan living, how-to’s and guides, beautiful photography, intriguing artwork, and more. Perfect for anyone who has a love affair with veggies.
Kinfolk Magazine

October 17, 2013 at 8:04 pmI feel the same way that you do about traditional magazines — just not that inspiring anymore. Or maybe it’s me: I’m just so busy, I don’t have time to leisurely read them anymore. So they’re no longer enjoyable the way they used to be.
