R&S
What do you love most about your work?
Elisabeth
As the Books Editor at Glamour, I get crates of books in the mail every morning. It’s like Christmas every day.

R&S
One piece of advice you would give your 18 year old self:
Elisabeth
Be kind to yourself and don’t worry so much about what other people think. And, of course, wear sunscreen.
R&S
Midnight snack of choice:
Elisabeth
I’d love to say kale, but the reality is: Cheez-Its. For me, they’re one of the great rediscoveries of parenthood, with Teddy Grahams as a close second. In fact, my kids don’t even eat Teddy Grahams anymore but I still buy them sometimes for you-know-who.
R&S
A secret talent we should know about:
Elisabeth
Without peeking at the name, I can tell you the make and model of just about every car on the road. Sometimes I get tripped up by Toyotas and Hyundais, but for the most part I’m an automative savant. Meanwhile, I drive a minivan.
R&S
Charity/charities you support:
Elisabeth
I support Cycle for Survival, which raises money for rare cancers. 100% of the money raised goes to research - and the list of rare cancers is a lot longer than you might think.
R&S
The skill or sport you're dying to learn:
Elisabeth
If you could “learn” how to be a good dancer, I’d be the first in line. Not that my poor coordination keeps me off the dance floor...
R&S
Favorite pizza topping:
Elisabeth
Spinach. Fun, right?
R&S
Cocktail of choice:
Elisabeth
A dark and stormy, preferably imbibed on a roof deck with a view of the ocean.
R&S
If you weren't a Books Editor, you'd be a...
Elisabeth
Real estate agent. Someone else would have to handle the paperwork, though - I’d be in it for the sales angle.
