Lauren Harano is a freelance journalist and part-time commerce writer at BDG, where she covers everything from trending beauty buys, fashion finds, and more for Bustle, The Zoe Report, NYLON, and beyond. With nearly a decade of experience across both print and digital media, she specializes in stories that span the travel, lifestyle, and beauty spaces.

When she’s not on deadline or testing the latest SPF-serum hybrid, Lauren is likely checking into a cool boutique hotel, volunteering at her local animal shelter, or updating her ever-evolving (yet very curated) restaurant list.
