Let’s see. I moved to L.A. from Tucson, AZ five years ago. I love it here. I moved because I wanted to work in the entertainment industry and so far, so good.

I love almost anything pop culture. My favorite TV shows right now are “Saturday Night Live”, “30 Rock” (Tina Fey is my idol), “The Office”, and “Lost”. I’m a girl, so of course I love “Sex and the City”. I watch movies from Netflix religiously, mostly indies. I love indie music, photography, writing, and art, really anything that has to do with self expression.

I heard about this blog through a friend and since I am a victim of the over-consumer-ism in this country, my first question was, “Where can I sign up??” I am thrilled to be guest writing on this blog.

Look for me in the Home and Garden section!

I write on beauty, fitness, fashion and related topics for magazines and newspapers. My passion is sleuthing out the best and least pricey products and guiding fellow thrifty consumers to the best bargains (especially those shown to outperform the rest). Problem is, editors fear offending potential advertisers so they often insist I deliver news on the priciest products even if they’re poor performers.

Well I’m not hiding the insider secrets anymore; you’ll find them on the Smarter Beauty blog!

My name is Jac, and I am currently attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising for Apparel Manufacturing Management.

When I was 16, I knew I wanted to surround myself with the hottest crowd; the hottest style and have the hottest models walk down the runway in my designs.

To do that I have been working all over Southern California for the hottest retail companies to build my resume to soon be able to move down to Los Angeles and really begin living my dream!

I believe that trends fade but style is eternal and with my help, people will walk down random streets as if they were walking down Rodeo Drive! Start walkin’ ladies!

Let’s see…I’m a magazine writer, I like black and white movies and picnics, and I used to live in Hawaii. When I’m not on deadline, I enjoy lying in bed all day amongst a slew of magazines and reading all of them one by one. But most importantly, I love fashion. One of my favorite things to do is people watch, find someone with an interesting look and mentally analyze their personal style from head to toe. Another thrill: finding something really cute for really cheap. And my last confession is that I always shop alone because none of my friends or family can tolerate the torture of being in one store for hours as I scour every clothing rack and pile in the joint in hunt of the perfect piece.

I’d love to hear your suggestions, questions, or comments!

My name is Evette, I am a HUGE fan of music…love almost all genres. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about new and interesting things. I like to write about anything and everything. I’m energetic and personable, which I think stems from being from a rather LARGE family. I am an open minded individual, and I love to hear about new ideas or ways of thinking.

If you have any questions, comments, or ideas please contact me at Evette@Smarter.com.

Hmmm….let’s make this short and sweet.

I am funny.

I am smart.

I am not a writer.

Unbeknownst to most, I am architect buff. My dream is to custom build my own home from scratch paying homage to all my favorite architects. A prime example of where my priorities are: I don’t dress well. I drive a lemon. But my home is impeccable and I will shell out thousands for the right “piece” of furniture.

My hero is Frank Gehry.

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”

My writing has appeared in Collingswood, NJ, on numerous blackboards although it was usually along the lines of “I will not chew gum in class”. I also autographed one desk. So I can tell you’ve figured out I’m not a writer… It’s true. I’m a gardener. Looking forward to sharing my gardens with you and hearing about yours.

Like most Americans, I fell in love with sports from a young age and have stayed involved in one way or another to this very day. Being raised in Alaska also exposed me to the great outdoors and wildlife of one of the most beautiful places in the world.

After graduating with a degree in journalism, I have covered events in sports, outdoors and entertainment and have been published in numerous newspapers and online media.

So here I am, doing what I love to do: reading, writing and living everything that has to do with sports and outdoors.
