Just yesterday, one of my co-workers brought an article in Real Simple over to show us–it related to some articles we were working on for one of our sites. The very first comment made by two young writers who had never seen the magazine before was that it was a pretty thick magazine for something called Real Simple. They decided that perhaps it was meant to simplify your life by fitting enough in one magazine that you wouldn’t need to clutter up your house with any others.
