Pros: Workouts, nutrition/beauty advice, anti-smoking & other health information, relationships & self-improvement articles, inexpensive
Cons: Alcohol ads, few mental health articles, rip-out sections should be perforated on heavier paper

Pros: A lot of useful information Cons: I am not too thrilled about all the advertisements
One day my daughter came to me, begging to let her get a subscription to Self Magazine . I asked her why she wanted it, if she had never looked at it before. "Well, look! If you get a years subscription for me, I will get a free make-up bag...
Pros: Chock full of informative and fun articles Cons: May not like the layout; not very different than all the others
During my Personal Training certification course we were told not to read and/or believe anything written in fitness magazines. The fact is some of what is published is not accurate and unless it is backed up by research doesnt work. Tufts...
Pros: Variety of tips, graphic pictures Cons: Unoriginal topics, lacking emphasis on the mental aspect of life, shallow subjects
In Self magazine, something that I notice above all else is the tremendous amount of pages which are used for advertisement. The table of contents starts around page 12 (after many ads) and finishes around page 22, after being interrupted by...
Pros: very informational, good magazine Cons: none
Self Magazine for women is all about what the title suggests: Self. All things health and beauty can be found within its monthly covers, and though it's not a particularly thick publication, I consistantly find an abundance of information on...
Pros: Um, a couple of interesting articles if you can find them Cons: An insult to the audience it truly wants to attract
About six years ago, I was tired of Cosmopolitan – you know – sex surveys, articles on how to please my man better. I was ready to move on to something else. I found Self and I was quite pleased with the layout and content of the magazine. The...
Pros: Positive outlook, fun and quick reads, no cheesy "end of magazine" ads Cons: Some notions aren't entirely unique, not exactly serious reading material
One of my favorite magazines to read at the beach is Self Magazine. Full of motivating reasons to stay in beach form, there are usually several good articles as well. Easy to read and skip around depending on where my interest lies, I have had a ...
Pros: good features and quality writing Cons: only comes out once a month!
I have been getting Self by subscription now for 3 months or
so and have loved every magazine. I used to think this
publication was for older people who weren't that interested
in the fun stuff, like beauty and fashion. I now take ...
Pros: good recipes, informative flash sections, great happiness articles for self discovery Cons: still promotes the perfect image
I am not a fan of the so called "health and beauty" magazines that are often geared towards women in my age group, however I have found this one to be of some interest. While it still promotes the really thin young looking woman, I find it...
Pros: General emphasis on health, Good photographs Cons: Unrealistic fashion advice for most women, VERY addy, Contradictory, Homogenous concept of beauty.
It might seem odd for me to ask right out, "Does anyone still read magazines?!" as I read and rate several magazines in the attempt to add to my "graffiti" here on Epinions, but when I encounter some magazines, I just have to ask. After all, several ...
Pros: informational, entertaining, affordable, relevant, trust-worthy Cons: a little too much advertising...
I've probably read/subscribed to every magazine out there, but in a vast effort to cut down on my magazine reading, I have narrowed it down to 5. (all of which I plan on writing reviews on in the upcoming weeks.) Self has survived the final cut, and as...
Pros: Shorter articles for busy women. Cons: Tons of advertisements.
Self Magazine is probably my favorite "self-help" type magazine available today. I have been a subscriber for over a year now and I plan to continue my subscription. I enjoy the articles, the tips and the fact that the models don't look...
Pros: a good practical, applicable magazine Cons: it only comes out once a month
I am a magazine addict, I do love magazines dearly. And while I do love them all I see the flaws in most of them, and point them out. Am I saying Self is perfect and needs no improvement, no. But Self is on the right track, it has a good concept and...
Pros: Awesome Articles, Very Resourceful and Useful Cons: It's Not Long Enough
What a gold mine...page after page of well-written articles and advice from leaders in the field of health and fitness. This magazine has been a favorite of mine for quite some time.
As an avid fitness enthusiast I feel this magazine was...
Pros: Informative articles about being healthier. Cons: Too many ads.
Last year, after deciding I was finally going to start going to the gym and start taking better care of myself, I found a copy of Self at the gym. I have to read while I am on the treadmill or I go CRAZY!!
