Magazine covers help people keep track of time, both from the months printed on them and the prevalence of hot tips about avoiding scurvy. Keep abreast of the times with today's Groupon: for $5, you get a subscription to one of 17 magazines distributed by Hearst Magazines (up to a $15 value).
Each month, the distributors at Hearst disseminate glossy periodicals such as Cosmopolitan, Elle, and Marie Claire. Each is packed with insightful columns, informative features, and vivid graphics to keep readers hip to trends in fashion, automotives, and the domestic sphere. Between the pages of Esquire, gents scan celebrity interviews, glean cocktail recipes, and find out what beard shape traps the most kisses. Homeowners and hopeful homeowners find inspiration between the pages of Elle Decor and House Beautiful, and car buffs ogle aerodynamic centerfolds in Road & Track. Lifestyle magazines such as Redbook deal advice on scores of quotidian topics, from work and parenting to clothes and health. Geared toward the younger set, magazines such as Cosmopolitan reveal tips on beauty, fashion, and unorthodox Twister tactics.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Keeping Your Resolution
Your New Year's resolution likely falls into one of the following four categories: health, fitness, beast taming, or relationships. No matter what your resolution is, stick to it like a bee trapped in its own honey with these resolution-keeping tips:
Imagine Success: There's no room for failure! Even imagining defeat will cause your digestive organs to acclimate to the dewy, rancid taste of failure.
Imagine Failure: Just to see how bad it feels.
Start Slow: It's not reasonable to quit smoking cold turkey, stop not-exercising cold turkey, or give up eating all that cold turkey from Thanksgiving cold turkey. The first step toward fulfilling your resolution is to dream about it consecutively for seven nights.
Never, Ever Stop: Quitting is easy, but lasting success comes from perseverance.
Wait Till Next Year: By 2013, they'll probably have invented a pill that solves your problems for you.
