Lisa Marie Hart graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor’s of Science in magazine journalism. Too many years to mention later, she remains fascinated by those glossy pages and the joy that a beautifully produced magazine can bring to readers the world over. Most of her stories center around home design, lifestyle, travel and weddings, and her work has appeared in New York magazine, Bridal Guide magazine, Palm Springs Life magazine, San Diego magazine, Newport Beach magazine, and on numerous websites. Before relocating to Palm Springs, Calif., she authored a Frommer’s travel guide about weekend getaways along the East Coast and still believes that long weekends are one of life’s best indulgences.
