Reviewed: Organic Life mag
I'm trying to think of a better time to launch a monthly magazine filled with organic stuff, but I'm struggling. All those apples, pumpkins and potatoes mean today really is the perfect time for Organic Life to go on sale. I've been having a read and am very impressed. The design's light and clean, the content is top notch - there's everything from an interview with Green & Blacks' founder, a profile on ethical label Howies, product tests, energy-saving tips and a large helping of food advice and recipes - plus the tone lives up to its jargon-free aspirations. If I was being paid to be anally retentive I'd point out a handful of pages are confusingly laid-out and there are a few subbing errors, but they don't detract from a great first issue. Anyone still wavering should be won over by the bar of organic, Fairtrade Maya Gold choc that comes free in the mag. It's printed on 100 per cent recycled paper and costs £3 from WH Smiths now.
