The January 1979 issue of Good Life: The Magazine of Good Living offers an evocative glimpse into an era of optimism and adventure. As the cover boldly proclaims, 1979 was meant to be “your year for going places”, and the magazine’s pages reflect a vibrant spirit of exploration, indulgence, and making the most of life. With features on thrilling escapes, compact living, and dining in style, it serves as a delightful time capsule of a bygone time when lifestyle magazines sought to inspire readers to live well, laugh freely, and embrace the joys of the new year.
Inside, the meticulous attention to detail shines through in everything from travel itineraries to the most practical everyday tips. Articles like “How to Eat, Sleep, and Entertain in Just One Room” underscore the magazine’s pragmatic yet aspirational ethos, blending utility with creativity. Meanwhile, the spread on “Auction Room Bargains” offers a tantalizing glimpse into the vintage treasure hunts of the late 1970s, providing readers with advice on how to spot hidden gems while adding charm to their lives. The inclusion of notable personalities like Ian McKellen gives the issue an enduring sense of relevance, capturing a moment in time when icons of stage and screen were emerging as household names.
This issue is more than just a magazine—it’s a piece of living history. From its nostalgic advertisements, such as the Sensodyne feature emphasising wellness and self-care, to its curated events list spanning cultural exhibitions, it paints a vivid portrait of what mattered to people entering a hopeful new year. Holding it in your hands feels like stepping back into a world filled with optimism, creative pursuits, and a drive to live richly, no matter the circumstances. It’s not just a collectible; it’s a time machine, offering an authentic connection to the dreams and aspirations of 1979.
