Family Circle Magazine
I recently bought the November issue of Family Circle magazine. It caught my eye while I was waiting in line at the grocery store. The cover stories that interested me where- “Slow Cooker Suppers, Walk it Off, and 30 Organizing Solutions.” Well, what a waste of money …
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.” …
Nivea Natural Tone Moisturizer (magazine ad)
The couple shown in this commercial are too beautiful for words. Their entire faces are not even shown in their entirety. But the woman’s thick, luscious curly hair, and the man’s close cropped do are quite prominent. Their creamy café-au-lait complexions don’t hurt either. …

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.

Alli Diet capsules (magazine ad)
Again with the diet pills. I have seen these advertised in stores in plenty of magazines. But I am still grappling with how these pills are supposed to work differently than other pills. Anyway, these pills are said to help people lose 50% more …

“Here’s lookin’ At You, Squid” is an article written by W.Hodding Carter discussing fishing for squids, what they are, and how it has become popular to regular fisherman.

Nutrisystem (Osmond Ad)
I am sure you have seen this ad while watching TV in the past because Marie Osmand is now their new spokes person for some reason. This means that she is the only person who represents this company and so she is there to push it like nothing else. …
Why Things Suck (article by Sarah Silverman)
I picked up the February 2008 issue of Wired magazine and was awe-struck by seeing a picture of Sarah Silverman. Not a huge fan of hers, I wondered what in the world she could be doing on the cover of an electronics magazine. In any event, …
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 …
Color Oops Hair Color Remover (magazine ad)
Never have I heard of a product that corrects hair color mistakes. But with all the horror stories I have heard of people messing their hair up with dyes and rinses, I would imagine that this would be a very helpful product. A model is shown …
Australian Uggs (magazine ad)
I am really loving this commercial. Featuring a really nifty pair of comfy looking thong Uggs, this ad has a very exotic looking model who appears to be looking off into the bland sunset. Actually, you can’t even see the sun in this picture. …
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. …
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 …
Journeys.com footwear website (magazine ad)
This website is for the athletic footwear enthusiast. In the middle of the page is shown a terribly trendy sneaker, hovering over the words “an attitude you can wear.” I like this phrasing because it’s powerful when applied to something as trendy as a sneaker. …

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 …

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.

Canadian Living magazine
These magazines, Canadian Living, always look so appealing, so last year, I got a one year subscription. While I do occasionally enjoy the magazine, to be honest, I don’t think it was worth it to get a subscription. Part of my reason for feeling this is that you end …
