Let me be the fist to tell you…magazines are not a thing of the past! Prior to creating Helpful Living Magazine I was in awe with how one issue provided valuable information. There are so many different magazines that caters to different needs. It’s hard to put everything in one magazine. I guess that’s why there’s so many!
Do you remember reading through Seventeen Magazine during your adolescent years? What about Ebony or Essence? They have flawless photos and relatable content that made me more knowledgable prior to engaging in their latest issue. Or how about the models or the clothes…wait do you remember the perfume or cologne section? I gravitated to those pages every time I open up a magazine.
One thing I realized is this…magazines are credible resources. If you are in a magazine, someone is paying attention to you. And that my friend is a reason to celebrate! Hence why I created Helpful Living Magazine. To celebrate those who work with the mental health population. They have been through a lot, even more so with the pandemic. Wouldn’t it be nice to provide a platform for the people who help us everyday, with our emotional and mental health? You know it’s true…I see you nodding your heads.
Magazines are…
Creditable: No one is going to write something about you just for kicks and giggles. You serve a purpose and as I mentioned above, it is something you should be recognized for. So kudos if you have ever written, been featured, or even did an advertising in the magazine. There were some eyes looking at you and you know what, you probably changed their life.
Fun: There’s so many magazines like I mentioned before, and that’s because there are billions of people living on this Earth. It would be daunting to the publishing companies if there were limited genres of magazines. That’s what makes it fun for readers. They can pick what they want, and some magazines have activities, recipes, and DIY things you can get involved in. It’s also something that is great to look forward to, especially if you like to do vision boards.

Provides Resources: Have you ever read a blog and forgot where it was? Or couldn’t put your finger on who the writer was? Well with magazines you have a lot less to look through. Let’s face it, the internet is a big place, having magazines narrow down your search and you can always have that favorite issue on your coffee table or night stand. There’s a lot of resources in one magazine, a personal story could be a resource, or a list of providers is a great directory for those who are looking for some kind of care or treatment.
Overall magazines are amazing and that’s why you see them everywhere. You may even have a few in your house, and if you read them I will assure you, there is something in there you can gain clarity on.
