About Me

"Hi! I'm Candace—aka "Then Only Candyland!"

I write words that make readers laugh, cry, and click—from heartwarming pet features to in-depth commerce reviews, and the occasional cool celebrity interview.

A few career highlights include:

•Bylines with People, TODAY, Teen Vogue, Business Insider, Romper, Parade, and more

• Managed a team as a former Editor at Newsweek, worked as Editor at The Dodo, and Assistant Editor at Today’s Parent and Phys.Org

• 20+ years covering lifestyle, entertainment, parenting, mental health, and pet content

• Published author and ghostwriter as well as a sensitivity reader for Kevin Anderson & Associates

• I've maintained a stellar PV track record with consistent, top-performing articles (no AI here!) for multiple successful outlets

Mom to two humans and five fur children, I'm also an avid runner with most of my miles spent in cemeteries—all powered by an unrelenting Milky Way latte addiction.
