Hi Again, I'm Chloe!

Hiii, Rescripters!

I’d write “allow me to reintroduce myself,” but I’m Gen Z (alas!) and don’t quite understand the lyric’s cultural significance (so sorry!) — anywho, my name is Chloe Mintz, a fourth-year at Northwestern University and former Rescripted intern! 

You may have read an article (or two!) of mine — re: How to Talk to Your Daughter About Her Period Without Making It Weird — but I’ll be switching gears a bit and manning Emmy’s column, The Wellness Edit, while she’s on maternity leave. (Best of luck, Emmy!) 

A bit about me! I’m an IVF twin, romance novel fiend, peanut butter (and dip!) enthusiast, and Aquarius — oh, and a reproductive health and wellness advocate!

Though Gwenyth Paltrow I am not, I am twenty-two (yikes!), chronically online (double yikes!), and precisely the demographic wellness influencers seek to, well, influence — and, I’ll admit, I’m an easily-influenced girly (promises of clear and supple skin get me nearly every time). 

That said, my tendency to hop on the bandwagon has provided me with a bit of a BS detector — are TikTok trends credible (scientifically-backed, maybe) or, more or less, a consumerist scheme? 

But vetting every trend you happen across can be time-consuming — enter The Wellness Edit (me!). While you have me (!!), I’ll break down the wellness trends we just can’t seem to escape and provide an answer to the ever-asked question: is this real? 

(Again, I am chronically online, but if there’s a particular trend you’d like to see broken down, please LMK at chloe@rescripted.com!)

I’m so glad you’re here,

Chloe
