I am an internationally published freelance writer specializing in lifestyle subjects. I write a lot of beauty and health/wellness related articles. I'm currently branching out into travel, interior design and sustainability subjects. I love perfume, cosmetics, skin and body care products - anything new in the beauty world gets my attention and I am constantly testing and evaluating products, services and ingredients.

Fantastic Sams: Get Beautiful Hair at a Fantastic Price (Celebs Love it!)
By lauracarsonmiller
Last month I cut my hair into a bob. (I would show you a picture but I am not photogenic. If I happen to get a good one I will share.) I was bored with my long layered style and was tired of looking into the mirror thinking that certainly my hair could look better.

Wake Up to Skinny Water!
By lauracarsonmiller
I know it is important to drink water every day, for many reasons. I am very conscious about trying to eat protein with every meal now, and you must drink water when you eat a lot of protein to help digest it properly.
