Online websites, a more practical way of seeing things


We see numerous brands grace the cover of magazines everyday but rarely do we see brands that we can actually afford be featured in all the pages. Some magazines try to elevate their position in the social status by making their collections or features unrealistic and impossible to buy. As much as I would like to say that magazines make living my chosen lifestyle easier, I can't because then I would be lying not only to the public reading this entry now but to myself as well. And plus, if you think about it, seeing something you like in the pages of your favorite magazine means you would still have to look for that item in the mall. If you're smart, you would know that you can also call the branch (all contact numbers are available online) and ask if they still have the product on hand. So you still don't get the item you like. If anything, you'll just be frustrated for liking something so badly and not being able to get your hands the moment you see it or at least reserve it.

That is why it's a lot more practical to check out online magazines and stores. Some online magazines feature items that are linked to the actual online stores where said products can be bought. Some online stores have lifestyle featurs that resemble those in magazines --- with products that you can purchase then and there. Why go through all the hassle of having to buy a magazine outside your house and not have any control over whether you can still buy what you like or not the very moment you feel so. Lazada features its products in ways you would normally see publicized in magazines. They have Back-to-School entries as well as Father's Day Specials to make it easier for customers to see what kind of items are in store for them. The best part about having this kind of online setup is you see just how you can use the items in real life and be able to purchase it without having to step out of your house or phone a store.

Going against the traditional way of checking out the lates gift baskets or promos isn't something t be frowned upon but instead should be commended. We have to learn how to embrace the beauty that is progress and incorporating it in our lives to better make it convenient. I can find a million reasons why I prefer online sites to hard and soft bound copies people can buy in stands. It's like hoarding items we won't need a few months from now. We live to an average of 50 and if you calculate how much paper not to mention trees are put to waste only to be shoved under the bed is devestating. Instead of making money on something that can damage our environment in the future, why not take advantafe of online sites and features to address the same kinds of concerns, magazines and books focus on?
