Popular mechanics magazine
Popular Mechanics is a monthly magazine that looks at science and technology through the eyes of everyday people and mechanically inclined people. I like this magazine because it looks at new inventions and innovations, but then it shows and tells you exactly how they would impact your everyday life, …
OK! Magazine
This magazine I buy regularly every month as it’s really really cheap at the price of only $3, it has lots of latest juicy gossip and tons of pictures for local and international famous icons. The magazine is filled with pictures from events but most are from peronal interviews, …
AOL Radio
I have to be online for large periods of time some days and it can really get tedious without something to get me motivated. Although I’ve had AOL Radio for awhile, I never really took the time to start listening to any of their stations until very recently. …
Rohto Eye Drops (magazine ad)
“Feel the Eyedrenaline” is the title of this striking ad. I really like that the artists responsible for this used the visual (pun intended) option and ran with it. In the middle of the page is an eye. Part of the eye looks dry …
Aflac Duck campaign featuring Carl Edwards
Probably my favorite commercial creation since the Energizer Bunny is the Aflac Duck. This quacking creature really amuses me, but more so now that Aflac is sponsoring NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards. As a result of the sponsorship, Edwards has been doing a series of ads for TV …

The Bertie Ledger-Advance is an awsome periodical that comes out once a week, on Wednesday, giving Bertie County, North Carolina all of their local news. They usually average between 16 and 24 pages. The Bertie Ledger-Advance often prints special sections that keep their readers …

Once every month, I pay a visit to my local Walgreen’s Drug Store to purchase the latest edition of Small Business Opportunities Magazine. I am always searching for new ways to making a new source of income and this magazine is filled with clever business ideas and opportunities from …
Reader’s Digest
A couple of years ago, my granny gave me a subscription to Reader’s Digest for Christmas. I have loved it ever since. It comes every month, so there is always something to read. I really like how there is something for everyone in the family to read. My husband …
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 …
Lucky Magazine by The Conde Nast Publications
I bought this magazine from our local store and boy how I regret them. They are really thick and seem like a fashionista must have. It is really deceptive to look at especially since they are super thick and I thought I am getting value out of my money. …
ZOO Weekly magazine
ZOO Weekly is, without a doubt, a men’s mag. Each week you can be sure to see at least one beautiful, albeit airbrushed, lady on the cover. There are three main topics - women, weird stuff and sports.
There’s the obligatory bikini model every issue, with different themes for …
Boating Life magazine
Boating Life magazine is a magazine that I never ordered but has been coming to me for several months. I think I may have signed up for something like this when I attended a boat show several months ago. This magazine first and foremost is a magazine for boaters. …
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 …
The Rachel Maddow Show
The Rachel Maddow Show is a fast-paced news and politics commentary program hosted by Rhodes Scholar and longtime radio broadcaster Rachel Maddow. Maddow is decidedly left-wing, but the fact that this show is not just a news program and does contain her opinion on the issues is made …
Runner’s World
I have tried to train for triathlon for some time now, and have been reading up on running a lot from anything I could get my hands on. Running is my weakest discipline, and so I have been trying to look for a training guide for this. I saw …
2008 Nissan Sentra (magazine ad)
The Nissan Sentra has always been one of those cars which is known for being economical. Teachers, college students and those on a budget have turned to this car when they are trying to save money on gas, while driving something that doesn’t resemble a piece of …
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 …
LG Dare Verizon Cell phone (TV commercial)
These cellular phone are really becoming the newest thing. I mean they are all the rage. Cell phones these days do more than personal computers did when they first emerged on the scene. This is the premise behind the LG Dare phone. These …
Asian Dragon (Publication)
At first glace, Asian Dragon could well be another magazine occupying shelf space in magazine stand but upon closer examination, it has every right to do so.
Asian Dragon is a new addition to the growing titles of magazines in Metro Manila. It is a business and lifestyle magazine …
FEMINA women’s magazine
I read Femina fairly regularly. I must say that this women’s magazine packs in a lot for we women. Right from designer wear, pefumes, women’s issues, beauty tips, household handy hints, recipes and the works - you name a major women’s issue and in all probability you’ll find it …
Rush Limbaugh Radio Program
Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio host. He is certainly the most successful conservative radio host out there. I agree with a lot of his views on certain issues but I believe that he is way to controversial and divisive. He is a conservative but I …
Myles of Style HGTV design show (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have actually seen this show. But I am a huge fan of shows which transform living spaces into little wonderlands. This show is hosted by a black woman named Myles. I have never heard of her. But I think …
WMZQ
We like to listen to country music and there are a few stations in our area that we tune into. Country music today is not like the country music of fifty years ago. This music is much more contemprary and more like our rock and roll when we …
TV Guide Channel
The TV Guide Channel began essentially as just a scroll of cable listings. Now it’s a network with original programming. The one theme that is consistent is that TV Guide Channel is all about entertainment and nothing else. You may find paid programming during the wee …
Raleigh News and Observer
The news and observer is one of the best local papers I have ever seen. Ive lived in a great deal of different places, most of which have had a sub par local newspper. The news and observer does a good job of letting people in the area know …
Action Asia (A Travel Adventure Magazine)
If you are like me, always lusting for adventure but has a job which shackles me to an office, the next best thing is vicarious adventure. When all breaks loose with my schedule, I retreat to my magazines, and my favorite is Action Asia. It’s a magazine that features …
Pussy Cat Dolls Workout DVD
I was given the PussyCat Dolls (PCD) workout DVD as a gift a couple weeks ago, and today I tried it out for the first time. Although there was an awful lot of booty slapping, breast shaking and Burlesque dancing after the hour was finished, my heart rate …
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 …
Glamor Shots
I have a 4 year Daughter who I have always imagined dressed in a fairy outfit and have her picture taken. So I searched high and low and found a fairy outfit to have her picture taken for her 4th birthday. As I was walking in the mall I …

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 …
The Cross Stitcher
I recently decided to subscribe to this magazine. I make different types of crafts and sell at craft shows and on-line and I am looking for different ideas. From time to time I will pick up a craft magazine in the book or grocery store to page …
Vaseline Cocoa Butter (magazine ad)
There is a saying that Black don’t’ crack. This saying means that African American skin has a tendency to retain its elasticity longer than the skin of other ethnic groups. However, because of the melanin in the skin, when it does get dry, the dry skin tends …
National Enquirer
The National Enquirer is my favourite magazine. I love celebrity gossip, and the Enquirer happily provides it.
My husband jokingly refers to the Enquirer my “Bible”.
I used to love the column that Anna Nicole Smith wrote, it was very funny and yes, very wacky!!
I am not crzy about the issues …
Yahoo News
Once or twice when I am browsing the internet for news stories, I might see a story on Yahoo News that I decide to record. However, I do not use it too much since I think that going to Yahoo News to get the latest news stories comes with …
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 …
Body and Soul magazine
This is by far my favorite magazine. It focuses on topics that range from healthy eating and stress reduction to cooking to relationships to spirituality. It has a new age bend to it, but it is never heavy handed with any specific type of philosophy. Rather, …

‘The Week’ is the name of an English magazine. It is published once a week. It is printed in Kerala, India. It is a popular magazine all over India. There are many people who read this magazine. I am one of the many subscribers of this magazine.

102.3 KJLH
I am a huge fan of R&B, Hip Hop, and Old School Music. Living in Los Angeles, I have found the perfect radio station that best suits my needs and that is 102.3 KJLH. With KJLH, they value the community much more than other radio stations. They care about …
WPOC
One of the best country music stations I believe in the country is our own WPOC. This station is involved in our community. They have really good traffic reports in the morning and the afternoon. They keep you informed of what is going on that will effect you …
Jet Set: The Magazine for Today’s Stylish Traveler
Traveling is one of the best all-time favorite hobby of most people. It is very seldom that you will find a person who wants to be locked up away from the world (except monks, perhaps), and even couch potatoes have been known to watch travel shows. This shows that …
