Billy Kolber

From a very young age when I learned to read off of laundry detergent boxes, I’ve been fascinated by consumerism, and consumer products of all kinds. I went to the public library as a teenager to read Consumer Reports. I got a B.S. in Biology from Yale University, managed a large travel agency, then spent ten years as the editor of OUT & ABOUT, providing decision-empowering information about travel to gay women and men all over the world. Oh, and for eight years I've been in the top ten percent of Avon representatives nationwide. With a well-worn American Express Card, I regularly shop the gamut, from Sears to Neiman Marcus, and web retailers the world over. I spend hours comparison shopping, researching and using products, reporting my findings here.

I love finding great stuff. Great stuff improves lives by making our bodies and environments healthier, by making the things we have to do easier, and making the things we want to do more fun. I’ve always shared my finds with family and friends. Now, I’m sharing them with you.
