1) Magazine Magazine More by Meredith. I´ve been buying MORE at the newstands for years. This magazine is geared specifically for women over 40. It´s not easy to find, so I decided to subscribe. Each issue has lengthy articles that are worth reading. It does a balanced job of covering health issues. Features on clothes, make-up, an over-40 actress, a female chef and her recipes are always included. My only complaint is that the cost of the clothes featured always adds up to more than $1000 per outfit. That´s well beyond my clothing budget.¤

2) Magazine Magazine More by Meredith. I´m always looking for good reading material and get a bit tired of the younger set´s taste. I ordered the More subscription based on recommendations of friends and looking forward to good articles. It is loaded with advertisements which, unfortunately, is a must in today´s publishing environment but hopefully at the end of the year´s subscription I will be pleased with my purchase price.¤

3) Magazine Magazine More by Meredith. As a 39 year old looking ahead to 40, I thought I would check this out. Love it! Great concise articles. Inspirational. Realistic. Practical advice.¤

4) Magazine Magazine More by Meredith. I can´t say this magazine has no useful or interesting information - but I find the overall tone quite depressed and depressing. I don´t mind that the fashion articles are full of over-priced clothing - they still give a general idea of styles that can look good on women over 40. I don´t mind that most of the women pictured look like they spend many hours a day working on their appearance - we all have different priorities, and maybe my own should be adjusted a bit more in that direction. I don´t mind the celebrities on the covers - if a photo of Holly Hunter helps them sell magazines, it´s okay by me.

But many of the (admittedly well-written) articles seem to suggest that the number and the scope of problems that women over 40 must deal with are overwhelming. Unhappy marriages, age-related illnesses, resentful children, difficult parents, estranged siblings, soul-destroying jobs, etc., etc., etc. - even the books and movies reviewed seem to be mostly in the same vein. The occasional up-beat article often celebrates a woman who divorced her husband, quit her job, moved away from her family, and "re-invented" herself as a ceramic artist, or an acupuncturist, or an ostrich farmer. (I´m exaggerating a little - but not much!)

Yes, middle age brings some difficulties with it, but not every woman who is 40+ regrets every important decision she has ever made. And most of us who have reached that milestone have also reached a point at which we can and do use our common sense to deal with problems as they arise. Lighten up, More!

5) Magazine Magazine More by Meredith. When I ordered More I expected a magazine for the AVERAGE woman over 40. Among other things I had hoped for fashions for small women (2 petite) who don´t want to dress like teenagers or "20 somethings". Instead I found mostly outrageously priced clothing - $1,385.00 for the suit, $555.00 shoes and $350.00 for the clutch bag. This was far from being the most expensive ensemble pictured. Even if could afford this kind of money for clothing I couldn´t justify spending it when many families can´t even afford food and medicine. I have no use for this publication.¤

6) Magazine Magazine More by Meredith. The magazine that celebrates smart, sophisticated 40+ women?s interests in fashion, health, beauty, travel, and self-reinvention.¤
