Holly McConnell is a Skinny Mom Health & Fitness Blogger representing the state of New Jersey! She has been married to her husband, Kevin for almost twenty years and has a son, Kevin and daughter, Jayne. She graduated college on May 11, 2012 with a Bachelors degree in English/Education. She is so excited to start the next chapter of her life. The big 4-0 used to send her into a paralyzing panic attack, but she now says, “Bring it on!” She looks good, feels good, and continues to set goals for herself. Through eating right and exercising, she has learned that if you stay focused and dedicated, you can achieve your goals. Holly loves to cook, shop, run, and spend time with her family and friends. She is obsessed with fashion and beauty products and often does product reviews. She loves to create beautiful things, and she has a shop on ETSY. She also loves to cook and try new things; being a vegetarian, she is always searching for different ways to jazz up her food! Holly looks forward to sharing her healthy, busy, and ever changing life with women who can relate to it!
