What is She Tried What?

On She Tried What, I scour the internet for the most popular or up-and-coming products, services, and life hacks and put them to the test. I’ll provide my honest opinions, helpful reviews, and descriptive photos to save you time without costing you money. Use She Tried What to find your next beauty obsession or that one of a kind gift for your best friend’s birthday. You’ll have everyone asking you, “Where’d you hear about this?”

Why did you create She Tried What?

I came up with the idea for this blog to solve a problem I was facing daily. In the last year, my husband and I got married, moved across the country, changed jobs, and bought a house. I have always been a well-connected, savvy consumer who reads blogs to discover the latest trends from tech to beauty and the latest hacks to save time and money.

But with life so busy, as I am sure you can relate to, I didn’t have the time to hunt through blog after blog or to scroll through hundreds of reviews to try to find some semblance of a consensus. So, I either put off buying what I needed or bought products online that I opened and thought “Wow, why didn’t the reviews mention how different the color is in person?” As I printed another return label, I wistfully dreamt of a blog that handpicked the types of items I was interested in and provided a straightforward, helpful review to help me spend smarter.

I couldn’t find one, so I created it.

I’d love to hear your feedback or ideas on what product or service you’d like to see next! Please send an email via our contact page.

A bit more about me…

In the interest of not taking myself too seriously, I decided to create a random facts about me post, circa 1999. So here goes nothing…

1. I dream of living in Stars Hollow in a house designed by Joanna Gaines.
2. My first pet was a guinea pig named Brownie. Guess what color he was? I was really creative.
3. My favorite quote I try to live by: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” –Maya Angelou
   
4. I met my husband while using a free trial for an online dating site. Perhaps that’s what turned me on to the benefits of testing things 😉
5. My girl crush is Sloan Sabbith.
6. My first screen name was HorseWhisperer89. RIP AIM.
   
7. I am a twenty-something dietitian turned aspiring blogger.
8. My token dance move is the Boogey Dance I invented when I was 5 for when the SJ Sharks scored.
   
9. I believe that women are not one-dimensional. I work hard to be a #girlboss by day while unapologetically devouring Bravo at night.
10. I grew up with an older brother and chose soccer cleats over ballet shoes.
