Rebecca Martinson is an E-commerce writer for Bustle and Elite Daily, where she spends her days reading about the latest and greatest deals so that you don’t have to. Before joining Bustle, Rebecca’s writing has appeared on BroBible, Gurl, Cracked, and more, but if you’re really looking for a thrill she recommends checking out the introduction to “Dirty Rush” by Taylor Bell.

When she’s not busy writing about detoxifying face masks and jade rollers, you can usually find her laying by the beach, margarita in-hand and pinky-up.
