Advantages: Covers many topics with affordable ideas Disadvantages: You don't want to throw them out!
Prima ? a magazine name known to many, and quite rightly so because Prima means first or leading and I feel it is a leading magazine in the area it covers and it certainly covers lots of areas.
It started back in October 1986, and although at that time I thought it was expensive I did buy it as there was always a free pattern and I made a lot of my clothes in those days, so it was a bargain. This magazine has moved with the times and is bang right up to date now and is one of the popular magazines sold at most newsagents, although many people have it delivered as this is a perfect start to your day ? or used to be when post came in a morning! Although probably not aimed at the younger end of the market it does have some articles suitable for all ages.
I always buy one at the airport at it is a magazine that you can pick up ...

Advantages: Loads of ideas for your home, lots of beauty advice Disadvantages: Some of it aimed at an older audience
I was given a 12 month subscription to this magazine as a christmas present from my husband. I must admit when I saw the subscription was for Prima I was a little disappointed as my general opinion of this magazine without ever really reading one before was that this was meant for older ladies,not a 25 year old!
However, my husband had also got me a subscription to Company, which is one of my favourites magazines so I thought,I'll read the first issue and if it's no good I will pass them on to my mum, it should be just up her street! (Bless him, hubby thought he knew which magazines I read, at least he got one right!)
When the first issue arrived I was surprised to see how modern it looked from the front cover! Maybe my first opinion had been wrong? As I leafed through the magazine I found that it had articles ranging from ...

Advantages: Superb location and communal areas Disadvantages: Hotel rooms being allowed to deteriorate
The Waldorf Astoria, An iconic, Landmark Hotel. This hotel has been in many films, so....I suppose I should be saying wow. My husband and I visited New York in the February of 2005. I was treated to a stay at the Waldorf Astoria. When we entered the hotel, I was.......blown away. The entrance is plush, extravagant yet elegant, with a pianist playing music, for those that wish to sit and enjoy a drink and just take in their surroundings. The reception area again was stunning. That unfortunately is where the glamour of it all stopped, during our 10 day stay, I lost count of how many times their \"systems were down\". Checking in therefore took an age. When we eventually got our key and were directed to our room, the disapointment set in. The room was shabby, the bathroom, although ornate and I am sure impressive in it\'s time ...
The Prima is the perfect gift for the espresso lover: it is practical and good looking. The Prima is the answer to the quest for a small unit for home, office and low volume applications, from fancy car dealerships to tanning salons and in all the other hundreds of places where a simple espresso machine is needed and where milk based espresso drinks are served in small portions (8 oz.) and limited volumes.
