SamSamantha lives with her one year-old baby boy and her husband in the suburbs of Chicago. By day she works full-time in sales, and by night she continues her quest to pamper herself by indulging in beauty routines that transport her back to the sprightly age of 29. She enjoys floofy magazines that use personal pronouns in their titles, is focused on Green issues, and has never met a potato she didn’t like.  She plays the resident skin and hair care expert here at LiveWellSpendWell and will be posting on Mondays.   Samantha can also be found toiling away on her personal blog, Back to Me

IMG_0051Korinna is a librarian who worships makeup, her one-year old son, her husband and cheese (not necessarily in that order).  Knowing since high school that she wanted to work in a library but also desperately wanting to master eye liner, Korinna struggled with what to course pursue.  Professionally, eye liner lost out, but here at LiveWellSpendWell her free time is devoted to writing about the perfect (or is it?) purchase for all of your makeup-y needs.  You can also find her at her personal blog, Two Adults, One Brown Baby.
