Magazines!
I love magazines, but real life magazines cost a lot and cause clutter. So I always check out online magazine sites. I've found that some are much better than others. The worst online magazine sites just feature a pic of their cover and say subscribe. The best include lots of free content that's actually useful and complete. Keeping in mind that I'm a girl, and my selection reflects my personal interests, here are my picks for the best online magazine sites:
LuckyAlthough the clothes are a bit young (and pricey) for me, the site has web exclusives and contests, and lots of shopping links
Mother Earth News Many good simple living guides here, and indispensable resource for living green
People Although you have to dodge the "subscribe" begging, the site has a Star Traks celebrity photo feature that changes every day--a quick celebrity fix without having to wade through all the dreck
Real Simple Lots of nifty tips and tools.
Shape lots of well-illustrated exercises
Style the online home of Vogue and other Conde Nast publications, what I like here is the cool pics slideshows from all the runway shows, both for women and men--a very efficient and comfortable way of viewing designer clothes
Sunset a leading Western style magazine which used to have a crappy website--now lots of free and tasty recipes
and one booby prize:
PC Magazine A venerable computer magazine whose site is ironically prone to errors and hang-ups
