If you want decorating ideas , forget it. Mostly advertising for products she uses in her designs. Not much else.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This magazine is better than I hoped for. It’s pages are beautiful and total eye candy but what I love most is that it seems to carry an inspirational theme throughout each one. I love the articles have a variety of authors to include Joanna and Chip. Some pages are so beautiful, I want to rip them out and frame. I used to keep copies of every single magazine I owned but I learned to move on...but these are all keepers for me. I also love that I can have them on my tables without fear that the content is not kid appropriate! Thank you for a great magazine! Keep it inspiring, lovely, and clean. ♥️'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'A beautiful magazine to look at - but very little substance to it. I was disappointed in it and will not be renewing.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This magazine is grossly overpriced for how stuffed full of ads it is. Found the first issue quite boring, as well. Nothing to see here.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Downloaded on vacation and was disappointed that it was mostly advertisements.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "This is really just a lot of advertisements (like most magazines), not many new ideas or quality content. I have received two issues, I wasn't thrilled with the first issue but waited to post my review after giving it another chance. Simply not worth the price for just a few issues."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "Love the show and have actually read and liked their first book. Very disappointed with their magazine. Not many articles and what is there is not substantive. The publication seems like it was thrown together quickly to capitalize on their popularity. Staples such as HGTV's home magazine and/or Better Homes and Gardens offer articles that are more informative and instructive. Makes me sad to have to give them such a low rating."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "The order took a long, long time to arrive. We didn't ever get the first magazine. It seemed like they sent out seconds because our pages were not cut evenly. I see the magazine in the stores and the pages are neatly trimmed like you would expect. Content was five star. Everything considered, the experience drug the rating down."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Read my first issue cover to cover, nice stories, good balance of great recipes, human factor and home improvement information, can't wait for next edition, wish I had subscribed earlier"}]
