Top Sante

Every Thursday I pop along to WHS for a couple of magazines. Normally I buy Chat and Take a Break and on the odd occasion I buy Top Sante. I do have good intentions of getting myself healthy one day, so buying this magazine always puts me in the mood for a right good workout/diet etc. The September issue cost me £2.00 and with that I got a free CD worth 20p, no seriously I don't know about that. It's an Ultimate Relaxation CD with music for you to chill out with. I put it into my CD Rom drive whilst I was writing an op and nearly fell asleep . There are 15 tracks consisting of, Forest Dawn ... more

Founded in 1995 and published by EMAP Elan this is one of the best health and beauty monthlies published in Britain. Being the "magpie" that I am I like to read across genres and although I am not a regular reader or subscriber to this publcation, I do find it to be a surprisingly interesting read and it is not really a pure "girlie" magazine.

There are features on health, including less mainstream health such as alternative medicine and these are written by contributors with a good deal of medical expertise.

Never in my wildest nightmares did I ever imagine that one day I would be writing an opinion on what is basically a “girly” magazine. But that day has come and no I have not flipped or had a sex change or anything like that. I was attracted to the magazine for one reason only. A few days ago I read an excellent opinion on Top Sante Health and Beauty that came with an audio CD in the September issue. This CD is a compilation of 15 tracks of mood music to relax to. I have never had any problems relaxing when wanting to, even in the noisiest of places (like a warship with all guns ... more
