My Favourite Magazines
An important literary addition to ones dpl can always be a good thing. Something to cancel out the total lack of importance that most of the other products probably have. Let's be serious, most products that we want more than need don't have much of a purpose.
Monocle is my favourite magazine. It touches all (my) interests, provides innovative and intelligent articles with a sophisticated yet juvenile approach to media and up-to-date information about world issues and foreign affairs. With a hint of architecture, travel and culture - it's right up my alley.
It's a magazine that one can live their life by, it's my bible, my news channel choice and my insight onto the rest of the world.
Magazine collections are just as much a desirable product than any gadget/clothing/bum cream on the market. I myself collect two magazines, Wallpaper* and the one displayed above (Monocle). It gives me pleasure to gaze at the overly-full shelf above my desk and to admire the accomplishment and patience it's taken to collect those issues every month.
A tip when starting a magazine collection is to (obviously) choose a magazine that interests you. This may sound as if I'm talking to a bunch of four year-olds but honestly, you might buy a magazine and then never read it. Therefore, buy one that you know you'll read. When the new month approaches, your legs should automatically guide you to a newsstand, with your heart racing of excitement that you will once again be reunited with your bible, your insight to the rest of the world.
Some magazines I recommend:
There we go. Links present.
I highly encourage anyone to start a collection. Today.

Sometimes you get a feeling, when you see a piece of art or photography that you like but you don't quite know why you like it. I must say, I like that feeling. It gives life a sort of spontaneity and humour when you find yourself staring at a picture that mesmerizes you for no perticular reason.
I recently discovered Society6: an online store dedicated to art prints printed on various media. (Sorry if I am a bit slow for discovering this site now rather than a few years ago)
It has changed my life. I find myself automatically typing its url into my searchbar while my eyes wait in anticipation for the site's homepage to appear.
Eventually it appears. I immediately click on 'Art Prints' and an array of categories are positioned on my monitor. Which one do I want to browse (or potentialy purchase from) first?
You see, I like them all. Therefore I cliked 'all' having to avoid having to narrow my choise down to a single category.
It is the ideal website to browse art or photography if you are searching for that mesmarizing feeling of not knowing why you like a specific picture. I strongly advise you to check it out.
Another glorious thing about this site: You
can buy different sizes of the prints and can have them printed on
pillows, iphone covers, t-shirts, mugs and the list goes on.....
Here's a taster.
So do you understand me when I mention that feeling of not knowing why you like a specific picture?
These are purely a taster not any specific genre or art style. However expect a proper society 6 feature on here soon.
