Professional/Personal Overview
I've had mishaps with depilatories, tried diets you've read about in headlines such as "Lose 10 Pounds Eating Pizza!" and left the house looking something akin to Bozo (forgetting that I had spent the day trying on "the season's hottest colors") all in the name of research for my various beauty, diet, and fitness articles that have appeared in pubs from the New York Post to Woman's World to, I swear, The New York Dog magazine, to Shape en Espanol (I wrote in English, they translated.)

I also have my long, long, long list of "contacts" (ok, so you call them PR reps) constantly filling me in on the newest products, services, and lifestyle trends so I'm always filled with story ideas. Just ask and I'll pitch.
