WHAT OUR READERS SAY

  • “Just finished reading YAM. Best issue yet! And the visuals are amazing; the photo of Jerson Hernandez and Style Watch on the next Page was incredible. Congratulations on making a very good magazine so much better! I have had to rip out 4 pages and put them on my fridge to remind me to buy, or cook things.”

  • “...YAM is by far the most beautiful lifestyle magazine, and it is such a joy to read through. I have shown it to the others here at the office and they were all taken aback on how gorgeous it is. The articles and the ads and the showcase pages are simply amazing. My favourite is the stunning pink features on page 16 – I must have that pink sofa!!!”

  • "I was meaning to write you for quite a while … I liked how the articles evolved from more serious to the lighter side of life — I thoroughly enjoyed the workout article, the article on dancing, and the food article. I must say that was the first time I read about 80% of the featured articles in a single magazine. Bravo."
