Asher is a human interest and entertainment journalist. She was previously Features Editor at Good Housekeeping and Books Editor at Us Weekly, and her work has appeared in People, Allure, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, PureWow, and other outlets. When not writing, she's likely sipping iced coffee, wrangling her two small children, and sneaking peeks at a novel.
