One mind, two magazines

Current issue of Brazilian L'OFFICIEL.

I made the subscription, and again, thought that the first delivery would come only in February.

And here is the twin sister coming earlier than the expected.

One mind, two magazines

For the sake of my brain, let alone my pocket, I will consider this as another single, extraordinary event.

This is the November issue of Brazilian Elle. I made my subscription a couple of weeks ago, and I was certain that my first issue as a subscriber would only come in December.
But, as it seems, I was wrong.

My two issues of Spanish WOMAN.


Why did I buy two? First, because I'm geting old. Second, because one came with the bag, the other one (stolen?) not.

It's the June or July issue of the Spanish WOMAN

NOT EVEN the presence of this bikini made the realize that I already had bought it.

Sad..

THIS FACT is becoming so regular that I started to worry.

I do need some vacation. At least. 

My two issues of GLAMOUR, from Spain.

I did it again !!!

L'Officiel Brasil - May issue

A little bit more of Saraiva - One mind, two magazines

As a frequent customer of Saraiva bookshop, it happens all the time.

I pick up their magazine during a visit to the store at lunchtime during the week. And then a pick up their magazine on the mall store on the weekend. And the opposite. And any other possible combination. But it's so automatic that it happens more than I would like to... carry.

One mind, two magazines - ÍCARO

This is absolutely normal – normal for me, of course. As I’m always coming and going to Sao Paulo, I take the in-flight mag of the hour. And being this so automatic to me, every now and then I end up picking up the same issue twice. The twin one I give to a semrevista; magless; sans magazine, but in this case I just found out that I kept both.

From the Brazilian airlines Varig (the once called) Ícaro magazine.

In fact, this should be a case of Sponsorship and Involuntary Contributions - IF I haven't bought the magazine beforehand.

I bought this NUMBER ONE ISSUE and, a couple of weeks later, a company that will work for the company that I work for (right) gave an issue for me (they are distributing it since they're one of the advertisers). The publication is all about personal finance management - something that I DO NEED TO LEARN (and maybe receiving another issue was some kind of sign).

Brazilian magazine Elas & Lucros

One mind, two magazines

It happens every now and then. Sometimes, I just arrive home and see the double, and then I go back to the supplier and change it. But once I bought a British Elle in Ireland (one of those huge, that combined with the other ones bought, caused luggage weight problem) and when I arrived in Brazil I saw the same tough stuff lying on my floor. Considering that I had bought one in Brazil paying four times its price, and that I paid extra luggage tax (for which the one I brought from Ireland contributed), I think it was one of the most expensive magazine I’ve ever bought. I gave one of the twins to a friend.

Not only friends - an employee from a small hotel in Paris (I mean, smaller than the usual) won a double magazine of mine – on my mag excitement, I bought the same twice, probably at the same day!

There are also cases when a dear friend - or my mom - give me an issue that I already have With so many options, what a wasted opportunity! (the other negative point is to pretend that the mag is a novelty for me). And, finally, it’s not that uncommon that, after buying some non specific mag, I miraculously receive it at home!

For this Criativa case, as it would be more expensive going back to the place that I bought it than the mag itself, I’ll give it to some office colleague.
But I hate when it happens.
