Hello there! I’m Virginia. That picture is really old, but it sums up my personality so well that I can’t bear to update it. I still look roughly the same five years later, though: tall, blondish, bespectacled, enthusiastic, and somewhat goofy.

I’m an online dating consultant over at Loveb.ug, helping people find love online. I also do some freelance writing and social media marketing. I’ve been interviewed in ELLE and Hallmark magazines, and The Stranger and The Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspapers. My humor posts have been voted into Best-Of Craigslist several times. I maintain Heliotro.pe, a beauty blog, and  Framboi.se, a food blog. But I tend to blog right here most of all. I write about technology, love, life, linguistics, design, décor, fashion, food, advice, makeup, hair and skin care, video games, plants, and more I think.  I love my husband and my cat and my life.

Since the internet is simply filled with ways to track people down, you shouldn’t have too much trouble—but for best results I recommend using Twitter or App.Net. Cheers!
