The Puma Store (magazine ad)
Let’s take a trip back to the 1980’s, more specifically to The Bronx, where Puma sneakers (with the fat laces), Gazelle glasses and asymmetrical haircuts were all the rage. Upon perusing Blender magazine, I was delighted to see an ad for The Puma Store. First of all, …
Total Woman magazine
I am a voracious reader and I read just about anything I can get my hands on. My favorite reading material is magazines because the articles are short and informative, and the glossies nice to look at. I am always open to reading new magazines. I have my staple …
Preschool Guide Magazine
This magazine costs about $6, and I always am the one to subscribe for my aunts and uncles, since they have small children in their family. I love being of some help to them, and they love subscribing to this magazine from SPH distribution, as they love reading …

Spark is the newest publication produced by The News Journal paper in Wilmington, Delaware. It is acutally a free publication, which is great, because it virtually contains all of the same information that much of the News Journal does. It is a publication designed to attract readers …
Kohl’s Vera Wang clothing line (magazine ad)
First of all, I had no idea that Vera Wang even had a clothing line at Kohl’s. But from the look of the ad, I wished that there was a Kohl’s nearby. In the ad several young women are draped across what looks like …
US weekly magazine
From time to time I will buy this magazine. Even though this is another “tabloid” sometimes it has some really good pictures in it. Also, you will sometimes find really good articles here, such as when they have “Which side of the tracks are they from” showing which of …
A great magazine for scrapbookers
I recently was waiting in line at customer service at a local department store. I had taken my number and took a seat and looked over my shoulder and found a magazine called “Scrapbook etc.” laying on the table. I picked it up to have something to browse through …

I really love about Dolly is the different articles about common issues that occur. I have seen very good …
Blender Magazine
This magazine is one of the best pop culture references to date. I am really amazed that I have found such an interest in a magazine that offers so much information about musical groups that I’m not really fond of. In addition to the really interesting …
Parenting Magazine
I wanted to write and thank Parenting magazine, but because of the things that needed to be done first, it took me months to do so. But here I am, and I thought of something better, to share my gratefulness to all other moms out there that might find …

We have been buying the Central Brittany Journal for the last three years. It is packed full of everything that could possibly be of interest to us since buying a house in Brittany. Before finding our house we had the Journal delivered to our home in England. For an …
Gadgets Magazine
My brother and I take after my mother who loved to read magazines. When we were younger, magazines use to be a luxury because there were only a few local magazines in the Philippines. We were inundated with magazines from the US, and I grew up reading them. Free …
Taste of Home Magazine
I have come to love the arrival of the mail. Of course not for the bills, or the ordinary letters and advertisements we all get, but for the magazine that has been coming to my home for the last 4 years, “Taste of Home.”
As a chef wannabe, I’ve …
Press Enterprise
Several weeks ago, I had to take a business trip to Bloomsburg, PA and found myself spending a few nights in that town (maybe I’ll take the time to write about that too). While at the hotel I made every effort to kill my boredom by reading the local …
Fox News
I watch Fox News sometimes but I don’t watch it a lot. I consider myself somewhat of an independent and most of the shows in my opinion do have a conservative bias. Some of the main anchors include Sean Hannity, Bill O’reilly and Greta Van …
Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
I truly love magazines, and especially Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. It only costs about $15.00, and you could get it at a store near you.
Though this is a magazine, but it has the concept of a book. And a good book with many short stories. I …
Maxim Bungalows (magazine ad)
Ahh yes, it was only a matter of time before some kind of irresponsible luxury item made its way on the pages of this Blender magazine. I have heard of the Polaroid beach house, but don’t know much about it except that it’s for the spoiled celebrities …
Canada’s Soho Business Magazine
I picked up a copy of Canada’s Soho Business Magazine free of charge at my local Staples store. I am not usually a huge fan of business magazines as I often find their content dry, but this magazine is the exception.
This 64-page glossy magazine is rich in content, and …
US Weekly Magazine
I have friends who like subscribe to US Weekly Magazine almost regularly, and I thought of what the hype is all about, and started to buy them rigilously as well. But, up till now, I can’t really catch up what’s so exciting about this magazine. Here is …
The MBT Anti-Shoe (magazine ad)
What in the heck is an anti-shoe? That is what I say when I take a peek at this ad in Wired magazine. In the middle of the page is what looks like an orthopedic sneaker. But at the same time, I’m intrigued by …
Marie Claire Magazine
I have been reading Marie Claire Magazine since its debut issue. I was in the 10th grade, that makes the timeframe around 1995 when I was 16 years old. Even as a young girl I could recognize a great magazine. I have been reading it through …
Yahoo News
Yahoo offers many important services such as groups and e-mail accounts. One thing that Yahoo has begun offering is news. Yahoo! News is very convenient. I am very busy and I seldom find time to turn on the television to watch the news. I also find it frustrating to …
BCBG Generation (magazine ad)
Wow, what an image that is slathered across this page. A young (aren’t they all?)brunette/redhead model appears to be leaning against nothing. I imagine that this is just a position that the photographer was able to capture. She is standing with her back arched, with her …
Rolling Stone magazine
As with any publication, there are no doubt many different types of readers in the audience of the most ubiquitous music magazine, “Rolling Stone.” Some feel the writing and coverage in “Rolling Stone” is generally of a high standard and choose to subscribe, others only grab a copy when …

“Business Licenses and Permits” by an unknown author at entrepreneur.com is an article for business owners about various types of operating permits and licenses they will need to legally run their business.
I think it is important for new business owners to know what type of licenses and permits they …
Makulay ang Buhay Marketing Campaign
Have you seen the latest campaign of the Knorr Meaty Seasoning? It was really amazing and I guess this is one of the best TV advertisement ever show in the modern era of TV media advertising. Their main concern was not only to sell the product; their campaign also …
Two Forever Lenox Rings (magazine ad)
I have never seen a ring advertised in a magazine that is as tacky as this one. The gemstones representing the various months is not even enough to make these rings seem precious enough that I would want to buy one to commemorate a relationship. In any …
2008 Subaru Impreza (magazine ad)
This car has all-wheel drive. I was surprised to discover such a big feature in such a little car. This car isn’t really that attractive. The marketing execs tried to use flashy colors to take away from the fact that the car is really …
Magandang Umaga
There are a lot of things to go around and buy in the mall, I guess everyone must have thought that one way or another, spending without having to worry about money would be really fun! This I guess is what we all wanted to experience anyway. Well, there …

This is the most popular teen magazine in the Philippines. I’ve had a few issues of it back then when I was in my preteen years. I’ve got a copy of it again today after a few years. It has 4 sections: fashion, beauty, features (celebrities, cover girls), and …

Our State Magazine
I love reading magazines; I feel I get better updates by browsing magazines. I started off subscribing to “Our state” North Carolina soon after I shifted to live here. This magazine is really useful and very informative letting me more about places in and around North Carolina. …
Nutrisystem (Osmond Ad)
I am sure you have seen this ad while watching TV in the past because Marie Osmand is now their new spokes person for some reason. This means that she is the only person who represents this company and so she is there to push it like nothing else. …
Men’s Health Magazine
Now this is one magazine that is like a Bible to me and I find myself buying it month after month I think it wouldn’t be too much of a bad idea to subscribe to it.
This, for me, is one of the best magazines to hit the …

Luster’s Renutrients (magazine ad)
“The secret is Beautiful hair is bigger than just olive oil.” I like that this line was used in this ad. But I am really having a hard time believing that Luster’s has discovered something that other hair care systems haven’t. Anyway, this commercial features …

Netflix
I have been using Netflix for about 3 months now.
It seemed like the perfect service for me and my partner. We are both great movie and tv-show lovers, but as we are both tough and only just starting on the career ladder we cannot afford renting or buying movies …
Family Circle Magazine
I recently bought the November issue of Family Circle magazine. It caught my eye while I was waiting in line at the grocery store. The cover stories that interested me where- “Slow Cooker Suppers, Walk it Off, and 30 Organizing Solutions.” Well, what a waste of money …
