 keeps me on track
I love Self! It's a combination of Cosmo and Women's Health, which I think is a good mix. Nice tips on career, time management, stress reduction, and health, which I feel are more related to each other than many people realize.
Yes, it's a "light" read and nothing you get here will be too intellectual, but this magazine really keeps me on track and on the path to get to what I want in my life, so I'm glad to see it in my mailbox every month.
 Discouraging and Sinful with a few good recipes
I subscribed to Self because I wanted encouraging tips on health and fitness. Over two years of subscribing, I'm convinced that this magazine is encouraging... just not in a healthy way. This magazine promotes having internet flings, three-way sexual relations, and (this is the one article that really irritated me) how one woman discovered her happiness by having an affair. Now, I'm not saying this sort of thing doesn't happen in the world, but I sure do not support it and do not want to spend my hard earned money to read about women who need psychological help or a better moral compass. Does media follow society or does society fuel the media? I think it's definitely both... but I know a good way to rectify it. Stop producing garbage articles and telling youth and women in their 20s-30s that they can discover their sexual "health" by having multiple partners, affairs, and internet sex. I'm incredibly disappointed with this magazine.
 A women's magazine for women who don't like women's magazines
I subscribe to what could be considered an excessive amount of magazines ( I won't confess the actual number here) but I really dislike womens magazines, and Self is the only one I subscribe to. It is more of fitness magazine than anything else, but also has just enough coverage of beauty, fashion, sex, pop culture and other " girly" topics to please this woman. It is not shallow ( like Allure) or embarrassing ( like Cosmo) or focussed just on being a consumer ( like Lucky). This magazine really does cover a lot of topics, has a nice mix of substance and fun, and though it is not aimed at my age group, it is still relevant to this no-longer 20-something.
