Starting at square one doesn’t have to be scary.

I have been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping since early 2026 but I have over a decade of e-commerce editorial experience with bylines in CNN Underscored, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Mashable, Vice, and more.

Promising review: “Love this clamshell. A little glistening inside, but I like it. Well made and very realistic outside of the shell.” —Jennifer

Promising review: “I am halfway through with hanging it as a feature wall in my dining room. It is a beautiful blend of natural elegance. It was easy to install, but it does take more paper than you might calculate due to having to line up the patterns, which creates a lot of paper waste. Grab an extra roll beyond what you think should be plenty.” —Leslie

BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
