beware of the magazine tick!


like being the book tick, clothes tick, shoes tick, bag tick, jewelry tick, and the like, the magazine tick sucks away at your expenses like life blood until you find your salary [ or allowance ] dwindling and dwindling. magazines are an addictive substance, promising relief from daily life, insight, and tips, tips and tips! the headlines, the ads, the front pages; how can anyone resist?

but wait! don't forget this great secret to getting magazine-y goodness and saving your cash -> SUBSCRIPTIONS. every magazine comes with a bunch of little postcards inside with great deals on getting a years' worth of the magazine, almost always along with another perk; be it ANOTHER year for free, a cute bag, makeup, or something even better! buy one issue of the magazine off the stand to see if you're interested, then subscribe or not.

check out magazine.com for great deals if you're not afraid of the internet or Trojan Horse. ughh, it sends shivers down my spine!

i currently subscribe to; Seventeen, CosmoGirl!, Teen Vogue, Allure.
i want to also subscribe to; Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, Self, Glamour, GL, Real Simple.

how about you?
