A Very BELLA Holiday

Posted in Posts

Very excited to be named “Beauty Editor” of BELLA  magazine–I’ll be rocking my new title on the masthead  for the Jan/Feb issue!

 In the current  holiday issue (with the very handsome Bret Michaels on the cover)  I cover the entire “Beauty Breakthroughs” section and I also wrote a feature in the middle of the book, “Create a Lavish Holiday Look” where I rounded up some fun items to make the holidays extra festive.  Oooh, and there’s a little blurb about me on the contributor’s page.

If you see the magazine on newsstands, please pick up a copy–so many great articles in there. :)

What’s new, you ask?

Posted in Posts
Ok, well maybe you didn’t exactly ask….but in case you were wondering, I’ve got lots of great things brewing!
 
I have few items in Working Mother magazine this month!  And here’s my essay that appeared in last month’s issue: Tutu Tug-of-War!
 
If you check out the latest issue of Bella magazine (www.bellainyou.com) I have 12 pages of travel articles in there. (I covered lots of great properties! Will get the pages scanned soon!) I’ll also have a bunch of articles in the July/August issue, including a profile of a (very savvy) business gal and author, a summertime ‘hotspot’ roundup and a few pages in the beauty department!
 
I just wrapped up a fun feature for the September/October issue of Weight Watchers magazine–and now I’m working on another fun one for their December issue. Stay tuned!
 
 
Lots of fun assignments from American Express’s hip smart spending site called CURRENCY. My latest: a roundup of products for your morning routine The Ultimate Morning Survival Guide  and a roundup of relaxing spa-like gizmos for your home   Ohm in Your Home: 6 Spa Must-Haves 
More assignments are rolling in. (I love my job!)
