Margie Monin Dombrowski is a freelance writer based in Orange County, California, who's also lived in Boston and Philadelphia, but just had to come home to the sunshine and glorious weather. She writes about weddings, home & garden, health, beauty, and more, although she didn't initially set out to write on "girly" topics. With a love for DIY projects and all things handmade, she created her own wedding invitations with orange and pink card stock, Japanese lace paper, ribbons, a little creativity and a lot of elbow grease. An interior design student who isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty and has an odd obsession with Mod Podge, you'll often find her creating artwork or upcycling thrift store finds for her daughter's nursery. Fun fact: she's had two weddings and two honeymoons on both coasts, but to the same guy. Her writing appears in Romantic Homes, Cottages & Bungalows, New Jersey Bride, Long Island Bride & Groom, Natural Home & Garden's Green Decor & Design blog, and HomeFurnishings.com, among other publications.
