Fox 11 News/ Good Day LA
My favorite news to watch in the morning is Fox 11 News Good Day LA. Steve, Jillian, and Dorothy are the best and keep me tune into the television. They make it interesting to watch and it is not boring at all. I have been watching them for years …
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 …
Woman’s World magazine
This is a really wonderful magazine for women mostly. Though, I do know some men that have to look at it too!.
They have a variety of things that are very interesting and heart felt.
This is not a tabloid so if you are looking for celebrity gossip, you will never …
Workingmom Magazine
I never knew Workingmom Magazine had existed for some time now, until months ago when I visited a friend’s house. I was waiting for her in the living room coz we were going on a night out (finally!) after months of months of work, and no social life, …

I.N.C. Clothing (magazine ad)
Macy’s has a new line of clothing called I.N.C. The ad is a bit confusing though, because the name Rianne is used in the advertisement. There are few other words. So at first I thought the clothing line was called Rianne. …
OK! Magazine
I always used to be an avid reader of OK! Magazine and i would rush to the shops to get it the day it came out. This however, has changed a few months back when i realised that it was a rip off-simple as that.
They have a few “celebrities” …
Ramparts Magazine
Ramparts Magazine is a tough item to review because it ceased publication over 30 years ago! However, since it is still available via Ebay, I figured I would write a quick review on the magazine. Ramparts was a publication of the New left of the 1960’s and centered on …
Hype magazine
South Africa’s first and only specialized Hip Hop magazine, the Hype mag, has seriously grown on me in such a huge way that it has become a monthly thing for me.
Since I first got an issue of the mag, I have never missed a subsequent issue after that and …
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 …
Men’s Health Philippines Magazine
As a gym buff, I have to have my own bible for health and diet concerns. This magazine was first introduced to me by a friend. My first copy was an international issue with Paul Walker in the cover. The US version was good but most of the contents …
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 …
Good Housekeeping magazine
Whenever I am in a waiting room I have always bypassed Good Housekeeping magazine and instead reached for a celebrity gossip magazine, Glamour or Marie Claire. I always assumed that Good Housekeeping was for older women, maybe in their 40’s and 50’s with grandkids, spouses and a home grown …

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 …
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 …

Packers Dope Sheet
Now that football season (well, pre-season) is starting again, I am once again making my weekly visit to Packers.com in order to read their weekly dope sheet.
When it comes to lead up to games, the Packers Dope Sheet is probably the best place to gain a full understanding about …
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 …

This is an entertainment and leisure review regarding one of my most listened to radio station, known as RIA. Or RIA 89.7 FM, a local radio station in my country.

Finally I thought, a business article about how to create the perfect business card so newbies such as myself …
Cosmopolitan Magazine
My favorite magazine is Cosmopolitan. I’m not sure why, but it beats out all the others by a mile and a half. Cosmo (as it’s known by most people who’ve heard of it), has everything that a woman in her early 20’s could want to read about. …

Corporate Dossier or for short CD, is a weekly supplement of the Economic Times. Though it is published from India it has truly a world outlook. People who have anything to do with management of company will find it very helpful.

Progressive Insurance Ads
Being that I’m no spring chicken anymore, I’ve seen more commercials in my lifetime than I’d care to admit. That’s why when a fun group of ads come along, it’s worth mentioning, especially since I use that wonderful remote control to avoid most commercials these days.
Being commercialed-out, it’s …
Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation by Neutrogena (magazine ad)
A great big, make that HUGE photograph of Jennifer Garner is being used to market this cosmetic. The powder foundation appears to be giving this actress the model glow that she has all the time. The delicate dimples in her cheeks don’t hurt either. Her …
Charmed By Tiffany (magazine ad)
If you didn’t really like Tiffany, you will after seeing this commercial. If you thought that Tiffany was all about diamonds, and Marilyn Monroe, then you will think differently after seeing this ad. The woman featured is a dark-skinned model who looks like she’s from an exotic …
Real Simple Magazine
I usually don’t like lifestyle magazines because they’re all over the place. Real Simple has all the same information as those other magazines, and yet it’s very different.
I think it’s because all the information in this magazine is put together in such a simple, paired down to its essentials …
National Geographic Magazine
One of the magazines I have always enjoyed reading is the “National Geographic Magazine”. In fact, I did not know there was also a National Geographic cable television channel until I received it from my cable company a few years ago. Thus I can say that it was the …

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 …
Mega Glo by Wet n Wild cosmetics (magazine ad)
They needed a mixed looking model to really set this ad off, and they got on one. I know that sounds a little prejudiced. But there are so many ways that this product could be marketed a bit more creatively. The Latina looking model has …
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Ghost Whisperer Halloween Goodbye Video
Just before Halloween 2010, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt released a video that was a goodbye to fans of her series, Ghost Whisperer. After five seasons on the air, the show had been canceled back in May. I’m not sure if the reason for the delayed goodbye had …
Catherine’s Casual Wear (magazine ad)
What a horrible horrible ad. The clothes for this line are so ridiculously “Dress Barn” that no one in their right mind would wear them. They call it Classic Careerwear. And to tell the truth, the model shown looks extremely professional. The suit …
Parker Spitzer TV Show
This is a TV show that’s show on CNN at 8 pm ET. Kathleen Parker and Elliott Spitzer are the current hosts. I have only watched it a few times but I have not been very impressed with it. Parker Spitzer covers mostly political stories but …
Bain de Terre Sugar & Fig Scalp massage scrub (magazine ad)
Now this is really a strange product. A scalp massage scrub? I have never heard of this before. But I won’t knock it until I’ve tried it. In reading this ad, I see that the caption indicates that the product exfoliates the scalp, leaving it …
Geox athletic shoes (magazine ad)
I have never seen a show that breathes. So many tennis shoes end up in the garbage bin because they are either too beat up, or just too stinky to keep anymore. Sure there are odor eaters to capture and release those stinky fumes. But the …
PC Magazine
I started getting this magazine due to a mistake on my part. I had been getting PCWorld magazine and one of my nieces came around selling subscriptions for her school. I saw PC magazine listed and misread the name thinking it was PCWorld -which I love, and I subscribed …

There is a blonde featured in the middle of what looks like New York. She is wearing a one piece bathing suit that has a bright orange sash around the middle. The piece itself is a combination of black and grey horizontal stripes. The model has …

You know what? I have never in my life had caviar. And I know that caviar (fish eggs) are quite the expensive delicacy. But I can’t imagine how they will ever be so luxurious to me that I invite myself to taste them. In …
