Joanne Mallon – a bit about me
I am a freelance writer and author of three best-selling non fiction books.
You can see some of my recently published journalism here
I also work as a social media consultant and edit the UK’s only site for children who blog and their parents, Kids’ Blog Club.
This blog has been running for 8 years and has been nominated for many awards including MAD Awards and Blog Awards Ireland. In 2013 I was shortlisted as a finalist in TalkTalk’s Digital Heroes awards for my work with KidsBlogClub. In 2014 I reached the last 16 in the Best Writer at the Brilliance in Blogging Awards (BIBS).
I regularly feature as an expert in UK and international media (most recently BBC and LBC radio, Daily Telegraph, Mother & Baby, Practical Parenting, Psychologies, Gurgle and Real People magazines).
Social Media stats
I have 22,232 followers in total on Twitter – 7,623 followers on my main account, plus another 14,609 on three other accounts I run. I am active on Google Plus (1,300 G+ followers), Instagram (1,932 followers) and Periscope. Klout score = 63
Reviews on this blog
The theme of this blog is Geeky Lifestyle, so that can include anything I’m currently geeking about – beauty (especially skincare and beauty products for the over 40s); gadgets and tech; travel and day trips, books and movies and anything Doctor Who.
In my spare time I like making cakes and going to the gym because I ate too much cake. I’m a little bit obsessed with Korean beauty products so you will see a lot of the weird skincare I’ve acquired around the world.
My children are a boy and girl aged 12 and 16, and we are happy to consider reviewing products, experiences and anything of interest to us as a family and relevant to this blog. We live in Brighton and often travel to London for events.
I do not accept payment for reviews, and anything we write about is covered honestly and truthfully and with an independent opinion. Reviews on my blogs are a mixture of things we’ve bought or experienced, and things we’ve been sent free of charge for the purposes of review.
You can see our previous reviews here.
