The Local Girl brands all have local resident writers and editors who cover various local lifestyle topics — including food, drink, things to do, volunteering, wellness and self-care, real estate, local news updates, and more. Each site also has a give-back component, sharing volunteer opportunities, ways to give back, and often donating to local nonprofits in need. In both Hoboken and Montclair areas, the sites have donated over $30,000 to local non-profit organizations over the last few years.
“While I started the brands, it’s truly the writers and locals that bring them to life. There’s nothing like local communities celebrating the things they love about their neighborhoods,” she shared.
The Asbury Girl is run by local Jersey Shore residents who experience the local shore lifestyle and bring it to life through re, through engaging social media and article content on its website —from the best seafood spots in Asbury Park to where to get a facial at the Jersey Shore.
