Just a note to say thank you for taking the time to read, email, share, engage and be a part of my life for the past six years. Today is my last day writing for About.com.
When I think back to when I started writing for About.com in 2008, I was thrilled to write about something that I was educated in and had such a passion for: skin care. The years flew by and while I always kept my passion for the skin care industry as a whole, my interests moved towards sun safety when I found out my daughter had advanced pediatric skin cancer.
Over the past two years since her diagnosis and through her treatments, I've immersed myself in the sun care industry and have found that this niche is such a perfect place for me to be. Last year I launched a website called Not Pasty where women are encouraged to see beauty in their natural skin tone - no matter how light or dark it is. I'd love to have you join me over there!
Along with writing about sun safety (and of course, beauty and skin care) at Not Pasty, I've found myself in the beginning stages of working towards educating youth about the realities of the sun. Read more about the site and my plans and if you would like to work with me in the future, please reach out!
- To my readers, my utmost thanks to you. It has been so fun to hear from you and talk about all things skin - from wrinkles and pimples and product reviews and suggestions, I have had a blast. If you haven't connected on social media, I hope you will.
- To the PR reps who have worked with me throughout the past 6 years, thank you for keeping me in the loop and it's be fun getting to know many of you. Feel free to keep me on your radar: info@notpasty.com.
- To the amazing dermatologists, skin care line founders, book authors and other experts who have graciously worked with me, I hope our paths cross at Not Pasty and thank you for sharing your expertise with my readers.
- For my fellow About.com Experts, I am honored to have worked with you. I wish you the best and I hope to work with you in the future.
- To About.com, thank you for the opportunity, the exposure and all that went along with writing for your site. I wish you a lifetime of success.
I'm sad to say goodbye to About.com, but I am excited about my future and I hope you'll follow along with me. You can find me on Facebook, my personal Twitter and my Not Pasty Twitter, Google+ and of course, Not Pasty or email me at info@notpasty.com.
All the best to you! Remember, exfoliate, moisturize and wear sunscreen! :)
