I too was a long time subsciber, and couldn't wait to receive my issue for the month, always signed up for all of the freebies as well. It started going downhill for me after Linda Wells left, and I stopped subscribing.
Sometimes change is not always the answer! I also stopped getting InStyle as well-it was just full of celebrities and their clothes and makeup.....I no longer receive any magazines, and I kind of miss that, but can't think of any worth subscribing to.
