Why Trust BuzzFeed Shopping?
BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life. We center readers over revenue, recommend products with authenticity (using real experiences, not ad-speak), and reflect our diverse audience, inclusive of a variety of price points, people, and needs. We cut through fake deals, favor useful info over glossy fluff, and recommend both budget and splurge options with context so you can decide what’s right for you — and still have a little fun along the way.
Curtis Teegardin: At BuzzFeed, I’m a Shopping & Products contributor, where I cover everything from fashion finds to clever cleaning solutions. But my favorite beats? Beauty and budget-friendly alternatives to cult-fave products — I *love* saving a buck or two. With a philosophy and media education from College of Charleston and Columbia University, I’ll be deep in Spinoza or Nick Bostrom one minute, then doom-scrolling social media like my life depends on it the next. I’m a Gemini. It tracks.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me at a local café sipping an iced vanilla oat milk latte, being chronically online with my friends, or streaming The Powerpuff Girls of pop — Charli XCX, Chappell Roan, and Sabrina Carpenter. You can reach me at curtis.tee.freelance@gmail.com if you want to chat!
