Everyone’s talking about this famous time of year. The time when snow falls, everything is briskly cold and the only way to warm up—absent a planned vacation to a tropical island—is to spend quality time with friends and family. The decorations, music in the crowded shopping malls (that open at 4 a.m., mind you), TV ads—all kicking off the second that Thanksgiving ends, is also a thing that comes to mind when thinking about this holiday season.

Almost every girl loves to indulge herself in a magazine full of fashion and advice. Reading about the new styles of the season, the funny, embarrassing stories that girls send in, celebrity gossip, and the tips to make your day better is always fun. Sleepovers and girls’ nights are always filled with tons of magazines.
Why do we love reading them? And what is it that makes girls practically trust magazines with their whole life? Why do we automatically accept a new style or color just after seeing it on a glossy [ ...continue reading ]
