I'm a sucker for magazines.
The glossy, colorful pages full of helpful tips, gorgeous photos and words that inspire me. It also helps that the magazine industry must be slightly desperate, as I was offered two magazines, a year subscription of each, for $12.
How could I say no?
The last few issues have been particularly bright and cheerful, in spring hues. As I tore open the clear plastic covering one of them, out slipped a promo for Seventeen magazine. I picked it up and smiled. I loved that magazine in high school! I read the blurb:
"Send one year of Seventeen for only $10 to a special someone in your life! Offer includes free make-up tote and make-up."
I glanced at the grainy picture next to it, showing this free gift. My eyes widened and I laughed out loud!
This free gift? It was the same exact black make-up tote that came with my Seventeen subscription... back in 1997 or so! I would recognize it anywhere- I used it for years! How I laughed, because, while it seems like most everything has changed in the last 18 years, some silly things like this, remain the same!
How apt that this happened on "Throwback Thursday."
