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 …
Good Housekeeping magazine
Good Housekeeping has been around for decades. I grew up with the publication and I have subscribed to it on and off, as did my mother before me. My current subscription is one I received free online, and I’ve really enjoyed having it again since I couldn’t …
All the News You Need
In the future they will have a single pill that contains all the nutrients you need. You take the pill and you don’t have to eat again for maybe a day, depending on how they design it. Well, the Economist is today’s news magazine version of the …
Highlights for Children
This magazine has been around for many many years. I bought them for my kids when they were young and they are 29,28, and 23 now. I once again ordered them for my grandchildren ages 8 and 11 years old. I have a 8 month old …
Birds and Blooms magazine
If you love the outdoors and bird watching, you’ll love the Birds and Blooms Magazine. Each issue is loaded with bird pictures. Although many pictures and most of the magazine is written by professionals, a great portion of each edition is made up of reader contributions.
One of my …
Active Naturals by Aveeno (magazine ad)
Boy oh boy, once one cosmetic company catches on to something, then it seems like all the rest follow suit. I think that either Cover Girl or Revlon has discovered a way to help the consumer find her perfect shade. Now Aveeno appears to be doing the …
PBS - Programming/Pledge Drives
PBS is an awesome network that brings many shows to television that otherwise wouldn’t be there. There’s no doubt it’s the leader in children’s programming. Sesame Street still educates and entertains. Senior citizens can watch reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show. Music and science shows from …

RIA Radio Station
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.
There are lots of features in this radio station and the DJs are pretty nice and friendly. But of …
Radio Program at DZMM
I woke up this morning at the sound of my mom’s radio playing in the background. There were laughs and discussions that seemed nothing serious. Well I never really liked to listen as to what she is up to with the radio, but today was different because she was …
American Baby Magazine
Shortly after finding out I was expecting my first child, I began to look for magaizine subscriptions on parenting. I found American Baby very pleasing to read in the doctors office, so I went to their website. There I found many resources, including how to get a …
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. …
Story Story - Voices from the Market
Two years ago, I came across a radio drama program while listening to BBC Radio one Sunday morning, and since then I have made it a point not to miss any episode of it, and have also introduced it to many of my friends. The name of this program …
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 …
Look-Alike (TV Guide channel program)
There is something really whimsical about wanting to look like your favorite star, and then getting the opportunity to be completely made over by a panel of professionals. I have seen a few episodes of this show, and the most recent one I saw was the one in …
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 …
CNN World News 24/7
Listening to the news is one of my greatest pleasures,while typing my stories.I like CNN because it covers all the days events world wide.Unlike the local news,it is on 24 /7 and I can do what I have to do and still keep up with what is going on …
MacGruber Pepsi Ads
On the Saturday Night Live of Super Bowl Weekend 2009, three ads were shown for the first time. One of these ran in the last quarter of the Super Bowl game itself. Saturday Night Live has an ongoing skit that parodies the famous 80’s show, MacGyver, starring …
Best Body Magazine
For the longest time since I started weight training, I had no dependable resources on it, and so I made do with magazines for men. It was a bit difficult trying to figure out which training plans will work for me. I was therefore happy when, while browsing my …
The Trix Rabbit
A good marketing campaign is one that spans the test of time, and such is the case with the Trix rabbit.
I grew up watching this silly rabbit on TV. As I enjoyed bowls full of the fruity puffs of cereal, I giggled over the television ads of the …
Weight Training for Women
I have been going to the gym for decades now, and my interest in weight training has been on and off through all these times. I have tried one personal trainer after another, and I have since come to the conclusion that I have to take charge of my …
Design For Humanity by Billa Bong (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have ever heard of Billa Bong. It sounds like a really funky clothing line. And I see that there is a model on the page wearing an array of bathing suits. The suits are very vintage looking and are nowhere near that …
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. …
HyattPlace.com (magazine ad)
I don’t stay in hotels too very often. But this commercial for Hyatt hotels is a very convincing way to get people to think again about staying there. In any case, a woman is shown sitting on a huge sectional sofa. Her feet are …
Xerox “Practical Color” (magazine ad)
This is one of the juiciest ads I’ve ever seen. The people at Xerox have really put some thought into what was going to catch the readers’ eye. This one did it for me. As soon as I turned the page, I saw …
Channel 67 The City
I have had my XM Radio since November 2006 and so far I enjoy listening to it. What caught my attention was commercial free music. “The City” channel 67 is a channel that suits my taste. It is an urban channel and the selection is good. There is however …
Clinique Skin Tone Corrector (magazine ad)
I would really love to believe that Clinique makes a product that can correct a skin tone. This ad tells the reader to imagine that damage could be erased to create an even skin tone. The words seem lovely, jumping off the page like a giant …
Sunset Magazine
I’ve lived in California practically my whole life. If someone were to ask me if Sunset magazine was an accurate description of what the California lifestyle is all about I would have to say yes, by and large. It is a lifestyle here and you either buy into it …
Look: A Philippine Fashion Magazine
Whenever I have the time, I like to browse around magazine stores, especially second-hand magazine stores such as Filbars, to see what the market is offering in terms of magazines, both local and international magazines. Although I still like international fashion magazines, I have long ago learned to depend …
Kipling bags by Fergie (magazine ad)
I am not really a Fergie fan. Personally, I feel that when she joined the Black Eyed Peas, they lost a little of their authenticity. The band suddenly became all about Fergie because she was the new snow princess to take the rest of the group to …
The Sportsman’s Guide
The Sportsman’s Guide is a magazine geared towards the needs of hunters and outdoors men.
This magazine offers the largest selection of hunting supplies at discount prices. They also offer a buyers club for regular customers, which gives you even more of a discount!!! You will not believe how low …
Kraft Food & Family Magazine
For quite a while now, the Kraft company has put out a publication called Kraft Food & Family Magazine. You can usually get it just by signing up on the Kraft website, or sometimes it’s offered through various promotional websites on the internet. There’s never a cost …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Baby Driver TV Commercial for Suburu
After decades of watching commercials on TV, I’m tired of them. I tend to zone out, multi-task, or change the channel when a commercial comes on. Sometimes, though, an ad campaign does capture my interest. One of those is the Subaru Dad and Kids campaign. …
Practical Horseman Magazine
Practical Horseman Magazine is an excellent resource for all English riders. There are not that many magazines for English horsemen and horsewomen, and of those publications out there, Practical Horseman is the one most respected. Practical Horseman is delivered monthly and is full of articles about horsemanship, jumping clinics, …
Stuff Magazine
When I first bought stuff magazine I thought, hey, they are just using a picture of a pretty lady on the front cover to sell this magazine. True it probably does boost the sales, but when you open the magazine, there is so much more! Stuff magazine is described …
Oprah Magazine
I received two issues of Oprah magazine in the mail. I expected it to be filled with stories and exciting news. It was nothing like I expected. It was filled with advertisements. I bet you if you took out half of the advertisements in the magazine it would be …
Photoshop User magazine
I am an avid digital photographer, and I rely on Photoshop to make my pictures better than what I took. I do a lot of internet research on Photoshop, but I suppose I am old-school and rely more on the printed word than the web. I found this rather …
First: A Magazine for Women on the Go
Reading magazines is my favorite pastime. I have all kinds of magazines for my different interests. I have so many of them because every magazine has different focus. It is very rare that I find a magazine with most, if not all of my interests discussed there. Most of …

I enjoy listening to late night radio,in my area, Coast to Coast is on 600 a.m. from San Diego from 10 p.m. all through the night and into the wee hours of the morning (a repeat broadcast of it follows immediately after the initial broadcast of it so you …
C-Span TV Network
This is a channel that broadcasts mostly government and political gatherings. I have been watching it for years and it’s certainly one of my most favorite channels when it comes to politics. There is no additional charge for it because it’s included with most basic cable and …
Satellite Direct Magazine
My family owns a satellite program, where we have pay per view subscriptions programs, and the likes. We do love watching shows from channels like HBO, Turner Classic Movies, Sports highlights like ESPN, and also music genre like MTV etc.
So, I regularly bought monthly Satellite Direct Magazine, for …
