I’m Rachel, a 30-something content marketing manager by day and lifestyle blogger by night. I live in northern NJ with my husband, son, daughter, and cat. I’m a true ISFJ, a pop culture junkie, and will never say no a piece of chocolate.
I’ve been blogging here at Life Unsweetened since 2012. Thanks so much for stopping by!
