I mentioned that Jimmy planned this amazing weekend getaway for our anniversary, and it was just that. Amazing. Even though we were still technically in California, it felt like we were in another country.
Besides being able to feel like my man and I were dating again, I also had a chance to read my magazines. In fact, I almost needed to bring a separate piece of luggage just for all the back issues I had that I hadn’t had a chance to read.
And so, I read them and I read them and I read them. And I loved every luscious glossy page after glossy page.
While many may think that reading magazines is a brainless waste of time, I will have you know that those people are very wrong. I can prove it to you.
Here is all that I learned in the three days I spent on my cute little island.
-
Miley Cyrus has some child fame issues clearly displayed by her Elle photo shoot. In which, her dad, Billy Ray, said something ever so profound. “I am her friend first, then her parent, then her manager.” Deep. And really, doesn’t it explain so much? ~Lesson learned from Elle Magazine
- There are not only ‘terrible two’s’, but also ‘trying three’s’ and ‘freaking fours.’ Would’ve been good to know before I had kids. ~Lesson learned from Parents
- It’s important to allow your child to cry and feel their feelings, rather than tell them to stop crying and chill out. By doing the latter, we are teaching them to stuff their feelings, and then they will grow up to have marriage issues and they will absolutely come back to blame you because of that one time you told them to JUST STOP CRYING!!! ~Also learned from Parents
- Purses have about 70 percent more bacteria on them than the average toilet seat. One test was done and they found 30 percent of our fashion bags carried fecal bacteria while 10 percent had bacteria that cause staph infections. Yum. ~Another deep one from Parents
- Badgley & Mischka are a couple. A gay couple that have a fabulous home and lots of horses. I never ever knew that they were together. Or that they were men. Or that they were gay. ~Elle Decor
- In other couple news, Mila Kunis from That 70’s Show is dating and has been dating Macaulay Culkin for over 6 years. Way weird couple. But, I actually really like her. You know from the article I mean. ~Women’s Health
- I do not have enough money to buy all that my little heart wants and desires from the pages of Elle Magazine. ~Thanks to Elle for pretending this recession doesn’t exist.
So you see? Reading magazines aren’t a waste of time or brain power! Don’t you feel smarter and wiser already?!?

Very insightful … blog reading is also very educational, right? LOL!! I am also a fan of Mila Kunis, but what on earth has she been doing with Macaulay Culkin for all these years? Ewww.
Glad you had a fun trip!! :o)
really? macaulay culkin? ugh. and i like mila so much.
I read that purse article in Parents and it about made me gag. But I didn’t know that about Mila Kunis.
I am going to soak my purse in Clorox then spray it with Lysol. I am looking at my cute purse here beside me like she is sooooo disgusting!!!!
Rooooochelle
yes, i knew about badgley and mischka but i did NOT know about mila and macaulay!
I don’t think reading magazines is a waste of time. Unless you are in the doctor’s office like I was yesterday and reading away only to come across an ad for the release of “Mona Lisa Smile”. Yeah, that magazine was from Dec. 2003. I’m so glad that you and Jimmy had a great romantic weekend getaway. That is so awesome that he planned it for y’all. 🙂
Cute! I’m glad your magazines were able to provide your brain with an education while the rest of your body relazed on your vaca!
I had no idea they were together! Crazy! I think he is a little wierd.
Glad you got a good education with that tan. 🙂
Interesting facts! Totally agree about Miley and Billy Ra y Cyrus…something’s not right there…
EW about the purse fact…that’s upsetting haha.
I don’t think magazine are a waste of time at all. Just like you said, very educational!
I see a DUI in Miley’s future.
Macaulay Culkin is adorable. I’ve always loved him.
Absolutely. This is all “most know” info. Thanks!
You are 100% correct. Reading magazines is a very important and enlightening passtime and one that I partake in constantly over the course of any given weekend. I will miss it once I have kids…maybe most of all.
Freaking fours! I love it : ) And frightful fives, sucky sixes, snotty sevens, edgy eights and NAUGHTY nines. We are totally experiencing the Naughty Nines at our house this year. HOLY CANNOLI!
