Customer Reviews of Organic Style

Glossy fluff that's easy to skip
I picked up an issue of this magazine at my local "organic snob" type store and decided to subscribe because it looked well presented. Well, it caters to just the typical type of person that shops at those expensive, gourmet organic supermarkets that are so popular in my area (SF Bay Area) nowadays. Superficial, upscale people who now must have their food without sprays because they have to be healthy for their daily workout and fit their expensive clothes well when driving their SUV to work. This magazine has big pictures of expensive resorts, celebrities doing supposedly earth-friendly things, expensive and trendy health products, and superficial articles that you wonder why you're reading (there was one debating whether or not you should have an affair). There's the occasional rather insightful article, such as one on tea and teahouses, but it's not worth the aggravation to buy the whole magazine. Choose something else, like "Body and Soul," which has health articles and spiritual articles in a nice balance and in a less obnoxious presentation.

OS has found a way to "write in balance"
The tagline for this publication is "The art of living in balance". This magazine seems to be geared towards people who want a more calm, simple life that's still full of style and pose. True to the title, there is an emphasis on organic living, which is both very interesting and informative, without going overboard by being too alarmist. Similar to _Real Simple_, I prefer _Organic Style_ as it seems to have more content. This magazine has articles on health, food, beauty, home, entertaining, fashion and travel, all while avoiding the typical "women's magazine" feel.

An excellent addition to my magazine subscriptions!

A Magazine for the Organic Lifestyle
If you love yoga and find yourself wandering in the organic product section of your local grocery store, then this magazine might interest you. If not for the amusing articles about learning ujjayi breathing; for all the information on food, beauty products and lifestyle choices included for the organically aware.

In the June 2004 issue they featured an interesting website that shows you how toxic your zip code is. I was relieved to find that I had moved to an area with good air quality even though I keep an air purifier running constantly. They say the air inside your home can be more toxic than the air outside.

This magazine makes you more aware of all the resources you really do have to enhance your life and the advertising is at least encouraging instead of annoying. I am now lusting after a Dyson vacuum, thinking about trying out some new Wai Lana Yoga workout videos and dreaming about buying all the natural skin care products featured throughout the magazine.

Dr. Tieraona answers questions in a living well section. Although, I was wondering why she didn't recommend a product like Emer'gen-C "Lite" to the person asking about their afternoon slump.

"Create a Butterfly Garden" will be an article to clip and save for future gardening projects. It may be time to buy some purple coneflowers. You can also read about nontoxic fertilizers and pesticides.

Veronique Vienne has an article in the June 2004 issue about entertaining even if you're shy or broke. She recommends things like cooking with butter and fragrant herbs and lighting honeysuckle candles. Just reading about her adventures made me hungry. There also seem to be pages of decorating tips, sports features and information on lifestyle choices for families. This magazine promotes healthy life choices like balancing family and work or finding healthy food on the go. There "How to Pack a Picnic" gave me some great ideas for a summer picnic. Now if only I could escape into Vincent Van Gogh's painting "Landscape at St. Remy."

If you enjoy using organic ingredients, you will find a few recipes and the Stuffed Summer Squash is a recipe I'll try as soon as I can find some small yellow summer squash. There were tips on how to save money on Organic foods, which yes are slightly more expensive in general. Although, you might notice you spend less money on doctor visits or other areas of your life because healthy choices do make you feel much more healthy over time.

While this magazine is all about Organic, it is not Vegetarian focused. You will still find recipes for Crispy Chicken Drumettes to go along with your String Bean and Fennel Salad. They had a taste test for organic cookies and I have to agree the Country Choice Organic Sandwich Cremes are better than an Oreo cookie.

Overall, I found this magazine to be highly enjoyable to read in the bath or out on the deck. If you have just returned from planting flowers by the light of the moon, you might enjoy reading this magazine while soaking in an Aura Cacia Purify Aromatherapy Mineral Bath scented with the fragrance of flowers and spicy wood.

I've asked my husband for a subscription for my birthday because I thought this was a great way to remind myself to eat healthy and exercise regularly. Organic Style not only makes you more aware of your lifestyle choices, it presents some interesting options. You can now even buy natural wheat litter for your cat
that is safe and non-toxic for kittens. I finally found some at Petsmart and plan to clip the dollar coupon. I'm dreaming of finding a new kitten.
