Carleigh Ferrante is a New York City-based contributing commerce writer for Bustle Digital Group, creating shoppable beauty and fashion content for The Zoe Report.

Carleigh has her bachelor’s degree in creative writing from Hunter College. Outside of BDG, she writes freelance content focused primarily on lifestyle, sex, dating, and relationship. She hosts a lifestyle podcast, Mostly Balanced, on which she interviews experts from all different backgrounds to chat about all the things you wish your friends were talking about.

When she isn’t writing, reading, or podcasting, Carleigh can be found solo-traveling, eating her way through whatever city she is currently in, marathon training, or (let’s be honest) shopping.
