Today I visited Newmarket (an upmarket shopping area not far from the inner city) and then stopped at Sylvia Park, one of the local malls. I was peering out the window on the way there and I saw it…
An ad for a magazine. I noticed one of the headlines on the cover and had to have a copy of my own. I was seduced. The story title?
2 Weeks to a Flat, Sexy Stomach.
I tell you, a little voice inside my head screamed, “Buy me!” so like the good consumer I am, I purchased a copy of New Zealand Women’s Health. I now have all the details at my fingertips: the quick, toning moves, the no-fail rules of flat abs and 12 fat-blasting foods.
Along with the flat, sexy stomach article there are ones on making love last, a guide to a stress-free life and motivational secrets for real women to get and stay fit. I tell you…I’m set for the holiday season.
Do you purchase or read magazines? If so, do you have any favorites?
I love Bicycling Magazine. I’m already stoked for the spring riding season, and winter just started yesterday!
One of my favorites is called Taste Of Home. Lots of good home-cooking recipes. We also take Smithsonian and read it cover to cover. Every article is fascinating.
Hi Shelley :)
I haven’t bought a magazine in years.
The reasons?
1) Photoshopping of pictures so none are real.
2) I get the articles and news online.
:)
Merry Christmas!
Susan – I really enjoy cycling. It’s funny because I never owned a bike as a kid and rolled my eyes terribly when hubby suggested we get bikes. I ride mine way more than hubby and have gone through a set of tires. I don’t think hubby has ridden his bike for months.
It’s the longest day of the year here. I’m definitely not thinking of winter. :grin:
Maria – we used to subscribe to a couple of similar magazines with recipes and home hints. These days I tend to watch the Living channel and the Food channel for that sort of thing.
The Smithsonian is one magazine I would love. It’s really expensive down here. I must check the library to see if they stock it.
RK – good point. They’re expensive too. I have to say though that sometimes it’s good to get away from the computer. Sometimes I think I spend my life doing stuff on the computer. :mrgreen:
I use to love magazines but I now work in a factory that makes them and I can’t hardly stand to look at them. I still buy Readers Digest and Romantic Times but that’s all.
Sherry – I can understand that. My brother-in-law gets the Readers Digest. He really likes it.
I do enjoy magazines. I get Better Homes and Gardens, Redbook, Family Circle, and Woman’s Day. I like the recipes and the health articles. Also enjoy the decorating themes.
