Each month we'll introduce a new blogger in our Member Spotlight we're currently reading, loving, and following.

Shine Blogger AndreaMeet Andrea.

With titles like "Can you move forward with one foot still in the past", Andrea's relationship accounts are so smart and relate able you'll want to join in.

Andrea first came to Shine in October of 2011 from an article on the front page of Yahoo!. She immediately went on to read everything in Editor's Picks and the raw feed. As she puts it "I was hooked!".

Now a mainstay in Love + Sex, Andrea enjoys "reading other people's comments" and the fact that "people can write whatever they want". One look at the comments under Andrea's posts and you'll see why this is true. So if you need advice or a good Love + Sex read, go see Andrea. I can vouch she's every bit as giving, and genuine on Shine as she is in real life.

Shine: Where do you find inspiration to write about?
Andrea: I blog honestly about my life. No topic is off limits for me.
