Candace Naylor is a versatile writer contributing to various BDG brands, such as Scary Mommy, Bustle, Romper, MIC, and Fatherly. Her writing spans numerous topics, but she has a passion for addressing the burning questions around relationships and health—like the surprising reasons behind your pre-teen’s body odor. She also enjoys creating engaging food content that transforms mealtime into an exciting experience for families.
While studying journalism and women’s studies, Candace envisioned herself as the next real-life Carrie Bradshaw. However, her path led her to entertainment, where she started her career at Sony Pictures Studios. After going through a divorce and raising two wonderful children, she embraced freelance writing to follow her true passions—storytelling, food, and travel. Her work can be found across the vast expanse of the internet, including sites like EatingWell, The Spruce Eats, The Mediterranean Dish, and Clean Plates.
When she’s not brainstorming quirky antonyms or typing away at her slightly worn keyboard, Candace is usually in the kitchen, cooking up delicious meals or crafting imaginative ideas. She loves to explore new places, whether they are nearby or far away, with her children, indulging in adventures, daydreams, and enjoying pints of Häagen-Dazs ice cream.
