I previewed the magazine then I shared it with Sammie. I had Sammie read through BYOU girls magazine when it arrived to enable our review. I wanted her honest opinion to share her point of view along with mine. Now onto the review of BYOU girls magazine.

I gave Sammie the chance to read through BYOU magazine on a lovely spring day outside. I asked Sammie what were some of her favorite features in the BYOU magazine.

Sammie said she liked the fun article Which Mustache are you? She shared with me which one she would be out of the article & it was the Jester.

She also enjoyed the articles on honoring mother earth, natural phenomena (which shared mini facts about various places such as the Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, Gunung Mulu Caves… & more) also the article on inspiring women.

There were also articles on happiness, & page sharing 75 ways to be happy. there was an interview of Kelli Berglund from Disney (Girl super hero inside & out) & sharing of Kelli’s Girl Power Tips.

There are B-Smart games & brain teasers, but one of Sammie’s favorite articles was the Star guide, astrological star signs.

Pro’s
Lots of good choices of positive fun articles for girl’s reading
Plenty of entertaining & fun articles for girl’s reading
There was plenty of articles packed into 39 pages ad’s were kept to a minimum
High quality photography & high quality glossy paper
Girls could take out center page & use as a poster
Con’s
1/2 page split between craft project & healthy food ( might be topics to expand on, especially healthy food as girls are getting to the age where they make themselves snacks & meals)

Overall I think BYOU is a great choice of positive, fun reading for girls & plenty of articles to read through. I highly recommend it. You’ll love the various content that will appeal to most girls 7- 15 years old. The photography & quality of BYOU magazine was high quality, the articles in BYOU magazine well written. Sammie had quite a few favorite articles in the magazine & some articles that didn’t interest her, but her over all thoughts was that she enjoyed it & is looking forward to the next one.
