MIRA TORRES is a freelance writer whose links have been featured in various online outlets including San Francisco’s 7×7, Blackbook, Sashay magazine, Eco fashion website Green By Design, and her regular Beauty and Accessories column on nationwide news resource Examiner.com. She studied Fashion Merchandising at the Academy of Art University, and when she’s not indulging in her beauty product obsession, she likes to paint, horribly sing to music in the car, read trashy fiction, and force feed homemade “gourmet” food to her husband & son.
