Author: Stephanie Loureiro

Stephanie Loureiro is a writer and editor living in Idaho. She loves reading, fitness, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and their two dogs. When she isn’t writing or working out, there’s a good chance you’ll find her dancing and singing (poorly) to Taylor Swift.
