10 Reasons Why Working in Candy Rocks!

1. I make a difference in the lives of thousands of teens.

2. The Candy girls are beautiful—both inside and out!

3. I meet the most interesting people: models, photographers, makeup artists, fellow journalists, and—my favorite—Candy cuties!

4. Not only do I meet beautiful models, I get to act like one too!

5. I rub elbows with the hottest celebs!

6. I see my work (and my name!) published in the magazine.

7. I get to write for Candy's sister mags, Seventeen and Total Girl.

8. I get to interact with teens and I get to read letters from our readers telling us how much Candy has touched their lives.

This letter is taller than me!

How can you not be inspired by letters like these?

9. I get to share my knowledge about teens with others. (Ines and I gave a talk to Unilever's regional brand managers last week. There were people from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand... it was like the fellowship all over again!)

10. I still have enough time to bond with my friends and pursue my other interests, like mountaineering!
