Lunch Lady Magazine Explores Food and Family

Kirstin September 3, 2018

Lunch Lady has been on my radar for a while for its colourful pages, fun recipes and relaxed attitude. But the fact that it's a parenting magazine always held me back from reading it. I was glad to find that Lunch Lady isn't afraid to be a bit different to other motherhood magazines, and it's…

A Weekend Exploring Margate

Kirstin August 8, 2018

Margate is the original summer holiday destination. We took a train down for the weekend to discover its vintage seaside charm. Reading my friend Ruth’s blog post and Charlotte from Betty Magazine’s guides to Margate inspired me to visit this summer. I booked The Reading Rooms as a treat for my husband Dan's birthday, and we…

Interview with Kayti Peschke, Founder of Caboodle Magazine

Kirstin July 27, 2018

The glorious hot holiday-like weather we've been having in the UK inspired me to read the most summery independent magazine I could find - and I think I've found it in Caboodle Magazine, issue 7. Caboodle is quite unlike any other independent magazine I've read before, exuberantly bursting with cheerful colour, fun and summer vibes.…

Inspiration for New Zealand with Lodestars Anthology

Kirstin July 13, 2018

This autumn we are off to New Zealand - for a trip that I've been dreaming of for more than half my life. I fell in love with New Zealand after seeing Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films almost 17 years ago (can you believe it?!). Over the years I've only been more enchanted…

Print! Tearing It Up at Somerset House

Kirstin July 1, 2018

Last weekend my husband Dan and I went to Print! Tearing It Up, an exhibition about independent magazines at Somerset House in London. On display were decades of magazines, charting British publishing to the present day. In all honesty, there were plenty of magazines I've never read or even heard of. But it was fantastic…

Lionheart Magazine explores Nature in issue 9 ‘Land, Water & Air’

Kirstin June 19, 2018

I love the pull of the wilderness in Lionheart magazine. Summer in London is my favourite season to live here. Yet, on the hottest days, I find myself longing for balmy sweet countryside air and the rhythms of nature rather than TfL timetables. Reading Lionheart issue 9 ‘Land, Water & Air’, was a refreshing break…

Magnum Chronicles: A Brief Visual History in the Time of Isis

Kirstin May 24, 2018

Magnum Chronicles is probably one of the most challenging magazines I've ever read. A Brief Visual History in the Time of Isis is the very first issue of the independent storytelling magazine and is a harrowing documentation of the rise of Isis in the Middle East. I received this issue as the May delivery from…

Backstage Talks Takes us Behind the Scenes of Design

Kirstin May 13, 2018

Designers influence so much of our lives, yet their own lives can be a bit of a mystery. So, I was fascinated to read issue 3 of Backstage Talks, the April 2018 magazine from my Stack subscription. Backstage Talks magazine delves beneath the surface of design, going 'behind the scenes' and interviewing designers about their careers,…

Healthy Food and Natural Living with Walnut Magazine

Kirstin April 29, 2018

I've always been interested in food. Everything from the flavours, textures, smells, colours, to the roots of where the recipe has come from. An ideal night in for me is watching Chef's Table or some similarly beautifully shot food programme. And an ideal night out is at a street food market; trying exciting new flavours…
