The Good Life – November-December 2015

They take their work seriously!
Jessica Ballou is a proofreader by
day, freelance writer and blogger
at www.beyoutiful-beauty.com by
night. She also works part time at
a beauty store where she gets paid
to gush about lipstick and eye
shadow. She has a very sarcastic
sense of humor and frequently
quotes TV shows and movies. She

in 2012 with a bachelor's in print
journalism. She lives in Fargo with
her boyfriend and adorable black
lab/dachshund mix named Bella.
Danielle Teigen is a word nerd.
She considers it a hazard of the
trade — she’s a professional
communicator with a background
in journalism, marketing, and
public relations. Editing is one of
her favorite activities, as is writing.

writing, Danielle enjoys running,
watching movies, and spending
time with her husband and twoyear-old
son. Both provide plenty
of humor in her life and her
writing. Follow her on Twitter at
