Professional Background
With over a decade of editorial experience in lifestyle media, Tara has tested and reviewed thousands of products across diverse categories. She pioneered the 'Candle Party' testing method for ranking scented candles without bias toward brand or packaging. Having lived in small urban apartments, Tara brings a practical perspective when selecting home items, valuing both style and functionality, especially when space is limited. She's a firm believer in avoiding blandness—she often says that life is too short for beige. Tara also enjoys traveling light, usually with only a carry-on and occasionally a 'personal item,' as she detests paying extra for what should already be included.
Top Buy:
I purchased the popular candle warmer lamp from Amazon, and it's completely transformed the way I use candles. I've had it for over a year, and it’s nearly always on. Since there's no open flame, I don’t have to worry about fire hazards. It melts the wax gradually, which means my expensive candles last a lot longer.
Academic Background
Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications from Boston University.
