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 …
Texas Roadhouse in East Madison, WI
For anyone, this is my favorite cheap steak restaurant. There is just something about the way they cook their beef, because it seems to be perfect all the time. The meat is also so perfectly seasoned, while being so tender. I love the perfected blend of different seasonings which …
BCBG Generation (magazine ad)
Wow, what an image that is slathered across this page. A young (aren’t they all?)brunette/redhead model appears to be leaning against nothing. I imagine that this is just a position that the photographer was able to capture. She is standing with her back arched, with her …
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 …
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 …
Wired Magazine
I used to be absolutely in love with Wired Magazine, but over the years I have found that this magazine is declining in quality. I noticed the big change sometime around last year. I’m a big technology geek and when it came to my technology news, Wired …
Yaz Birth Control pills (magazine ad)
I have realized with this ad that birth control is not just birth control anymore. In fact, this ad actually reveals that this pill controls bloating, irritability, headaches, muscle aches, acne, and even moodiness. I have no idea what kind of miracle drug this includes that it …
Kohl’s Vera Wang clothing line (magazine ad)
First of all, I had no idea that Vera Wang even had a clothing line at Kohl’s. But from the look of the ad, I wished that there was a Kohl’s nearby. In the ad several young women are draped across what looks like …
Black Stone Cherry - Folklore and Superstition
Black Stone Cherry’s sophomore release is as impressive as their self titled this time longer and more mature, with more of the southern rock feel this is a much more satisfying listen from beginning to end, every song is catchy, and every one of these catch song grows on …

Pandora is a great website and music player! I really enjoy using it! If you’ve never tried it, you’re really missing out. It allows you to listen to music for free in full quality. I like that it plays full-length songs for free! And …

The holiday issue of Knitsimple is fun. On the cover are boasts of forty plus gift ideas, winter woolies (cozy hat …
Vanity Fair Magazine
One of the hobbies I refuse to give up, despite the present economy, is reading. There are few things as personally enjoyable to me as being able to relax with a cup of hot tea and a good magazine. So, since going out to movies and restaurants isn’t as …
XM Radio Service
About two years ago, I received an XM Roady as a sweepstakes win. With it came 3 free months of service, so we figured we would give it a try. We initially debated as to who would get the coveted Roady, and since my husband travels more …
Luxury on Loan by BagBorroworSteal.com (magazine ad)
Let me first say that I would love to have lots of bags from Yves Saint Laurent, Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Kate Spade. But the idea that I would have to log into a website and “borrow” a bag makes me sick. I wouldn’t want to …
O: The Oprah Magazine
Oprah’s success as a talk-show host gave rise to the birth of O The Oprah Magazine. I love this magazine. It is the printed version of the TV talk show which I find so informative. I like that they keep it real here, discussing about real-life issues and using …
Mintek DVD Player
For someone who is not that tech oriented I enjoy using gadgets and at least try to keep up to date with new ones. I was given a Mintek DVD Player as a gift and started using it as soon as I managed to set it up.
It …
Time Out New York Magazine
I have been reading Time Out New York Magazine for quite some time now and I must say it is the go to guide for getting around New York. The cover price is $2.99 per issue, which is extremely cheap for any magazine nowadays. The layout is easy …
Yellow Pages Advertising
I am not very pleased with the results of my advertisement for my tutoring business in the yellow pages. About 6 months ago now I placed an advertisement in both yellow pages online and Yellow Pages phone book. However the advertisment only got published in the phone book in …

NBA 2K8 PS3 (magazine ad)
If the photograph displaying this Sony Playstation game is any indication of what the graphics will look like if I were to pull the game out of the box, then I might have to go and buy one of these gaming systems for myself. I am not …
Our State Magazine
I love reading magazines; I feel I get better updates by browsing magazines. I started off subscribing to “Our state” North Carolina soon after I shifted to live here. This magazine is really useful and very informative letting me more about places in and around North Carolina. …
Local news with the Star
The Star has maintained its stand above the rest of the local daily English newspapers for years due to its down to earth writings and layman English terms unlike its some of its competitors which presents their papers in “Business style English”.In addition to the printed daily newspaper, the …
New Yorker Obama Musilim Cartoon Cover
If you have not yet seen this outrageous cartoon drawing of Democrat Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, then you have been under a rock for the last few days. This is the current cover of the New Yorker magazine this month which was drawn by an artist as …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Family Circle Magazine
Family Circle has always been my favorite magazine. I remember as a child staying the night with my grandmother and always looking through the piles of them she had on the coffee table. Back then I liked looking at the pictures of clothes and then seeing the food and …
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. …
IN TOUCH weekly magazine
This is a good magazine if you really want to read some celebrity “junk”.
You can find out some of the so called “secrets” of these so called “celebrities” because I wonder what some of them are famous for!
The pictures are good. Makes you wonder how they sometimes get such …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 4 (DVD)
I had volunteered to help teach Vacation Bible School this summer for the first time! I signed up to be an assistant in Chadder’s Cinema Science!
In Chadder’s Cinema Science we watched a video each day entitled Chadder’s Science Adventure and also did a small experiment to go along …
Old School Wrestling (OSW)
On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …
Reminisce magazine
I subscribe to the “Reminisce” magazine. It is full of information that brings back the “Good Old Times”.
Readers send in their nostalgic photos, stories and articles to share with other readers. There are various features including pictures of your last childhood, name that car, short memories, when TV was …
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 …
Forbes Magazine
I read Forbes magazine regularly for various reasons. First, I checked the latest trend in business, finance and good investment tips, second, I want to get updates on the world’s billionaire, surveys on the most influential people and learned from their experience and their impact to the lives of …
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. …
Borghese Nail Lacquer (magazine ad)
If I were looking at this ad without knowing that it was for nail polish, I might think that it’s actually for lip gloss. The model in the picture is very pretty. She sort of has a “Liv Tyler-esque” glow about her. And what struck …
The Independant Newspaper
The Independant is the newspaper that I read everyday. It is a British newspaper, a high quality newspaper that tends to look more at world news, and the big issues going on in the country rather than running the same stories that every other newspaper has.
The thing that I …
Muscle & Fitness Hers
I have been going to the gym since I signed-up for a lifetime membership with Slimmers World in 1994. Back then (at least in my country) gyms were domains of the men and 2-lb weights were for aerobics only. My fitness instructor was male and so was my trsining …
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 …
