About Me
I’m a Seattle-area skincare buff, and I’ve been concocting my own creations (and passing judgment on those of others) since I was just a kid. I’m particularly well-versed in caring for sensitive and acne-prone skin, though the years are catching up to me and nudging me in an anti-aging direction.
I’m also a writer, editor, chef, baker, gardener, and Romance language enthusiast. I’ve been interviewed about skincare topics in ELLE and Hallmark magazines, and about a handful of other topics in The Stranger and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
I currently maintain a Seattle Post-Intelligencer Reader Blog, Looking for Love Online. I also maintain a “normal” (and much less interesting) blog, called unironically “I absolutely hate the word blog.” My humor posts have been voted into Best-Of Craigslist several times, and I used to write an advice column called Off Culler for the now-defunct Seattle Pulse metroblog. I write about fashion, food, advice, love, life, linguistics, skin, and lots more.
Feel free to drop me a line if you have a question, comment, tip or complaint, or just want to say hi. And if you have any skincare-related questions you’d like answered, please feel free to ask!
