southern beauty.

If you've ever been in our house, I think you will notice the overwhelming amount of magazines we have under/on our coffee table{s} and spread throughout the house. I am just a tad obsessed with magazines. I will admit, I hardly ever read books, but to me - relaxation is reading a good magazine before going to bed. It's either Marie Claire, Real Simple, Lucky {fav!}, Better Homes & Garden, Self, and I just picked up subscriptions to US Weekly and Southern Living {quickly becoming my other fav}. At the store I get Fashion, Glamour, and Harper's Bazaar.

Seriously, I think I have an addiction.

However, there are so many GREAT magazine subscription deals out there right now - it just helps me not to spend $5 bucks per magazine while waiting in line at the grocery store. There are even some full year magazine subscriptions for ONLY $5 {yeah, what you would pay for ONE magazine}. Head over to THIS POST from one of my new favorite blogs, Fantabulously Frugal, for more information on all the amazing low cost {or FREE} magazine subscriptions Amazon.com has to offer. Subscriptions also make great gifts for the Holidays! I think next I'll get Country Living.

Now, I'll leave you with this. Like I said, Southern Living is quickly becoming my new favorite with it's delicious Southern recipes {that I've yet to try} and amazing home decor ideas/tricks and home tours. I fell in love with this mountain cottage {in Cashiers, NC}, that was featured as Southern Living's Best Cottage 2009. Wanted to share with you guys since it just screams "AUTUMN". I will certainly be putting this on my "wish list" for later {ok, way later} in life. It's unique and since Chad just informed me he wants to build a log cabin, this beauty would be perfect. Gorgeous Southern {and country!} living at its best. Aaaah you can always dream right?
