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 …

The thing I was most impressed with about this article was the fact Arthur Caplan, bioethics chairman at …
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 …
Top car magazine
As a natural car enthusiast Top Car mag is one of the monthly reading materials that I buy and I am never disappointed with the content.

Comcast Triple Play ad campaign
In my lifetime, I’ve seen more commercials than I care to think about. Some of them are classics, poignant ads that somehow warm your heart, and others are on the total opposite end of the spectrum — annoying things that just make you want to turn off the …

For years, Home Depot has sponsored Tony Stewart in the NASCAR Cup Series. His bright orange, number 20 car was always recognizable, and Tony and his team did a host of commercials for the company, some of them darn entertaining.

Daily Mail
I first started reading the Daily Mail about five or six years ago after reading my Dad’s copy a couple of times.
One of the main things I like about the papaer is that it doesn’t really deal with celebrity ‘news’ instead, it deals with real news.
The Daily Mail …

Wells Fargo (magazine ad)
I have always believed that young people should think about how they’re going to take care of themselves (and each other) in the near future. I realize that this mode of thinking is not always prevalent amongst the very young. But this ad in Essence magazine makes …
Eye Magnifier by Rimmel (magazine ad)
Kate Moss was the model du jour for this ad. The volume that you’re supposed to get from using this Exact Definition mascara is definition shown on Kate’s face. What’s interesting is that I have never seen a model’s eyes look the way they do in this …
Bushmills Irish Whiskey (magazine ad)
I like this ad. There is something earthy and old about it. I know it’s probably the fact that whoever thought of this wanted to ensure that the person perusing the magazine stopped here and realized how old and classy this alcohol is. Seeing barrels of …

Insure Your Business article
“Insure Your Business” by an unknown author at entrepreneur.com focuses on the significance of having proper business insurance as a basic means of protecting your business as well as yourself.
I’ve always heard about insuring a business, but I didn’t think it was necessary to insure a couple of sewing …
Vanity Fair Magazine
Vanity Fair Magazine, to me, personally, could be called a “Scandalous Magazine”. I have some copies at home, which my mom bought like almost every month, and I love flipping pages usually. First of all, I am totally amazed by how good the photographers’ shots were, and …
Heartland Women newspaper
Almost two years ago, mother/daughter team Chanda Green and Dalus Kulich sat at Chanda?s kitchen table and hatched an idea that almost no one thought would actually work.
The two women shared a love of journalism and the newspaper industry, but had poor experiences with greedy bosses and corporations more …
One Touch diabetic monitor (magazine ad)
There is a huge close up of a real life mother. Her name is Kelly. She has diabetes, and she’s a mother. It’s very interesting that they chose this particular style of ad for such an important little device. I like that they used …
CNN’s coverage of Chilean Miners Rescue
Like thousands in America and I’m sure around the world, I was tuned into the coverage of CNN when the miners in Chile were rescued. This event captivated the globe for the last couple of months. These 33 men were trapped below ground, and no one even …
Nintendo DS “Play For Me” marketing campaign
I really like the ads where celebrities are shown playing hand-held video games against their friends. In this commercial, America Ferrera is shown having a good old time supposedly by herself, in a nondescript location. Her device has her name emblazoned on the front of the Nintendo …

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 am not crzy about the issues …

I was sipping a cup of coffee this morning and flipping through the latest episode of Family Fun. And I thought to myself, ‘Family Fun Magazine is truly a great family magazine.’
Now, before you roll your eyes or think I work for the company or some subsidiary, let me …
Garden Design Magazine
I don’t really learn anything about gardening by reading this magazine. It’s mostly about the pictures for me. Sometimes they’re so beautiful I want to frame them and put them up as wall art. This mag is almost like a look book. These aren’t do it yourself ideas. These …
Verizon V-Cast (magazine ad)
I am no fan of Keyshia Cole. I am not saying that the young can’t sing. But it’s obvious (since this ad is in Essence Magazine) that the majority of African American youths are infatuated with this woman. She’s very attractive, with a smooth café-au-lait complexion …

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.” …
ABC Family: The 25 Days of Christmas
Every December, the ABC Family Network presents The 25 Days of Christmas for its viewers, featuring holiday shows from December 1-25. I watch the ABC Family Network year-round, but never as often as I do in December. There really is nowhere else that you can get such …
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 …
