Candace is a contributing writer for several BDG brands, including Scary Mommy and Bustle, and holds degrees in journalism and women’s studies. She covers a wide beat but particularly loves digging into the nitty-gritty behind your burning relationship and health questions—like why your pre-teen’s pits already stink—just as much as creating fun food content that takes the boredom out of feeding your family.

When not racking her brain for abnormal antonyms and alliterations or pounding away at her ramshackle keyboard, she’s cooking up something—be it food or fantastical ideas—or can be found in some far-off (or near) land with her children exploring, daydreaming, and devouring pint after pint of Häagen-Dazs ice cream.
