Brainstorming! I have 7 years worth of magazines,
yes seven. That's a whole lot of time to be collecting something; what you see in the [image above]
is not even a 1/4.
I started to, unintentionally, build a magazine collection around the same time I started blogging about fashion, style, and beauty. Magazine articles and images gave me inspiration for new blog posts, encouraged me to stay current with what's trending, what's hot, what's not, as well as allowed me to gain a better understanding about the
publishing industry as a whole. I enjoyed staying
in-the-know regarding staff movement (i.e. new EICs, new editors, new writers, new contributors, etc.), and still do! Furthermore, it's really interesting to learn how readers respond to
selected mag content, via
social media.

But I'm faced with having to make a decision: What should I do with all these magazines? Sure, I will certainly continue to store the glossies that I know I will refer back to which consist of my fave articles and cover stories. But other than that, what do I do with the rest? I thought about charity, or giving some to a University—
ugh I just want to see my beloved magazines be put to good use. So, I'm making it
my mission to figure out a plan: And I'll create a
mind-map to help me brainstorm
;)
