Goldie Hawn Featured in AARP Magazine
I have been enjoying AARP magazines for about five years now. The AARP March/April 2006 issue is one of my favorite issues. I love the picture of Goldie Hawn on the cover. In my opinion, Goldie Hawn is strikingly beautiful even at sixty years of age.

Now THIS is something that I was really interested in. I don’t have a child. But I watched the ad for this product and was really amazed. The man who invented this explained that he had a routine for teaching his infant daughter to …
The New Yorker Conference (magazine ad)

Aqualumiere Gloss by Chanel (magazine ad)
Chanel is one of those brands that will always stand out because of its reputation. That reputation is one of distinction, extreme sophistication, luxury, and even excess. The lip gloss they’re marketing should be no exception. And to display that, they chose a very …

WRAL Morning News
I’m not really a morning person, but when Im up I like to watch the morning news on WRAL. What I really like about their newscast is the personalities. My favorite is Mark Roberts. He has a lot of energy and gives a good representation of what traffic is …
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 …
Sportstar magazine

Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine
I was in the mood for mystery stories, so I bought the latest edition of “Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine.” This was the January/February 2010 double issue. It featured a dozen stories and an interesting article about woman detective novel writers.
I’d never read this magazine before so I didn’t know …
Alli Diet capsules (magazine ad)
Again with the diet pills. I have seen these advertised in stores in plenty of magazines. But I am still grappling with how these pills are supposed to work differently than other pills. Anyway, these pills are said to help people lose 50% more …
PC World Philippines
My brothers always tease me that I am such a computer idiot. They say I need a big arrow pointing to the keys to navigate my way around computers. To stop the teasing, I was determined to elevate my status from moron to passable. I started reading up in …
Negra Modelo beer (magazine ad)
“Neither X Nor O” is what this ad says. I have absolutely no idea what this really means. The glass shown is frothy and rich looking. The beer beside it looks foreign and refreshing. There is also what looks like a gold nugget or gold …

I have the magazine Runners World delivered to my door every month. I really like the fact it gives great hints and tips for people of all abilities.

Metroactive: A Magazine for the Weekend Warrior
I have been a long-time reader of Action Asia magazine, the magazine that is all about travel and adventure in Asia. It is a fascinating read because I have to admit, I am a weekend adventurer junkie. I was happy to find this magazine called Metroactive in my local …
Daily Variety
Daily Variety is one of the trade papers for the show business industry. It’s published every weekday, except for holidays, so it’s quite expensive. I’ve subscribed to it often over the years, back in the days when my salary was actually decent and the economy wasn’t such …
Seer
I regularly read the columns of Swami Sukhabodhananda in newspapers and listen to his speeches telecast on Aastha international channel. He has a unique knack of telling issues in scriptures in a simple language. The seer’s teachings are simple but not simplistic. He talks are interspersed with humorous anecdotes …

Beyond the Headlines news talk show
One of the radio talk show programs that I find to be both interesting and
sometimes annoying is a programme called “Beyond the Headlines”. Although I
am still not one hundred percent sure what time it starts, I know that it
usually airs on weekdays in the evenings after either the five …
Bangkok Post Newspaper
“Bangkok Post” is one of the most read English newspaper published in Bangkok, Thailand. Another one which is also quite popular is “The Nation”. When I am in Bangkok, those are the two newspapers I never miss to read every day to keep myself informed and updated of …
Life Takes Visa (magazine ad)
I have seen the television commercials where the Life Takes Visa slogan is punctuated by all sorts of gregarious activities. It makes people want the freedom that a credit card sometimes feel like it’s providing. In this magazine advertisement, a guitar with five necks and five sets …
Shades 5th Avenue by Redken (magazine ad)
Again, there is a blonde with wonderful luscious hair and a pert little pouty mouth, and blue eyes. I wish that advertisers would get a bit more creative than just sticking a blonde on a magazine page and thinking that the world will buy their products because she’s “beautiful.” …
Nintendo Power Magazine
Nintendo Power is a Nintendo-product-oriented magazine that provides up-to-date news on upcoming games, exclusive content, and reviews of games and Nintendo products.

Lucky Magazine
This was the free replacement subscription offered to me when Domino magazine went out of business. This magazine I would not have chosen to subscribe to or even purchase an issue of. But as that decision has been made for me I continue to receive it every month.
I have …

SunStar Sunday Newspaper
It is very important that we keep ourselves informed. In this world, being informed is a protection and the same time a weapon. It is important that we will watch the news, or listen to radio news broadcasts or read the newspaper.
I can’t read newspapers everyday because I don’t …
Bio-Oil Scar Treatment (magazine ad)
Now this is a new one for me. I had no idea that this product even existed. I have some scar damage and am always looking for products that reveal the great skin that I have underneath. (How is that for a commercial?) Anyway, …

A few months ago, I got an offer from Time Magazine I couldn’t refuse; a year’s subscription for $15. I can see now why it was so cheap.

The Sunday India
Once waiting for the train at station I came across the Sunday Indian (TSI). I bought to pass my time since it was too cheap and looks smart enough to attract the possible reader. This is a weekly magazine published from New Delhi, India.
After going through the first issue, …
BBC Radio1
Being a UK resident, i know many of the radio stations. This includes BBC2, 1 and 4. Now, as this review is on Radio 1, that will be the main subject.

Scientific American Mind Magazine June/July 2007

Citicards (magazine ad)
Credit card commercials are usually pretty inventive. There was one that I ran across in Wired magazine that really caught my eye. The ad features a fairly large house and the garage is painted in wild colors, with a crazy graffiti-like design. The caption …
KYMX - 96.1
Radio stations come and go with the decades and certainly in this day and age, more attention is given to playing company favorites than fan favorites, and that frustrates me. After listening to country music for a few years and becoming totally disenchanted with its same repetitive tracks, …
FINGERHUT MAGAZINE
Fingerhut magazine is a magazine I started receiving in the 60’s, wherever I lived. When I was first married, I made the error of many newly weds, of buying on time payments. This was an error, as the payments seem to have a high interest rate, and it took …
Cross Stitcher magazine
I first picked up Cross Stitcher magazine a couple of years ago. I was trying to give up smoking and thought that the free stitching kit would keep me occupied! It currently retails at 3.45, although i subscribe which means i get it at a cheaper rate.

LeisureZcene Travel Plus
Philippines is composed of roughly 7,100 islands. The coastline is just spectacular, and a lot of them have not been discovered. I love traveling around my country, but it has proven to be somewhat of a challenge as a lot of the places are not on the beaten path. …
USA Network Cable TV Channel
I love watching the USA Network and it’s certainly one of my most favorite cable TV channels. The USA Network is available with most basic cable and satellite packages which means that it usually doesn’t require an additional fee. The reason that I love watching the USA …
Eau de Toilette by Gucci (magazine ad)
This model has doe eyes and is resting comfortably on a block of perfume that looks terribly expensive. I think that this is the perfect way to show off a fragrance by Gucci. This brand is one of the top brands in the world. And …
Veranda Magazine
I am an avid reader when it comes to books. But, I don’t feel the same way when it comes to magazines. I like magazines for the pictures. After all, it isn’t poetry that’s inside these magazines. Especially when the articles are routinely lengthy, I feel they’re just filler …
