Real Simple Magazine
Love the magazine! I always find the information useful, great recipes, coupons, and pictures. I like skimming through the magazine and finding the helpful hints/tips on the bottom of the pages.

Best magazine ever
I have been taking my mother's hand-me-downs of this magazine for more than a year -- so glad to finally have my own subscription. I'd say about 80 percent of the articles are relevant to me, and those that aren't might be in the future. If I got nothing more out of it than one or two simple tips a month it would be wo...

Real Simple?
Don't get me wrong..I love the two hard cover books, Real Simple Solutions and Real Simple: The Guide to Organized Living. They are gems. However, the magazine simply betrays it's words.

Long time subscriber
I subscribed to Real Simple from the first issue for several years. At first it had some great unique ideas, and some really cool decorating ideas.

Lots of Fluff
This magazine is for rich people. The format is minimalist and is pleasing to the eye, but the content is lacking. There are occasionally some good ideas in it, but it doesn't really fit my lifestyle (I am just a common, average person). Save your money and go with something more practical.

Real Simple is an appropriate name for this magazine. It offers time saving tips and easy decorating ideas for people who don't have the time or the funds to embark on complicated projects.

I sprayed it with some non-stick cooking spray before filling it up with pudding and it came out beautifully. It has lots of detail. The only thing to be aware of is that it won't sit flat when you fill it, so you have to hang it in a bowl. It seems pretty sturdy to me, but I've only used it once.

If you have a Fuji s7000, you need a 5 volt power supply. Note that the travel kit does not specify whether it is the 5V or the 3V that many other Fuji cameras use. To reassure their customers they won't have any hassles, Amazon needs to mention the 5volt in the ad....Rick J.

It's not Anita Blake
If you hope to read a strong, precursor character of Anita Blake, this isn't the book to buy. It is a very imaginative tale, but an arid one. The reader does get into the characters' lives, psyches, etc., but the story is not as fresh, lively, or quirky as the Anita Blake or Meredith Gentry series.
