Allard","description":"Bethany Allard is a Los Angeles-based shopping reporter at Mashable covering beauty tech, dating, sex and relationships, and headphones. That basically means she puts her hair through a lot, scrolls through a lot of dating apps, and rotates through a lot of different headphones. In addition to testing out and rounding up the best products, she also covers deals for Mashable, paying an especially obsessive amount of attention to Apple deals and prices. That knowledge comes in handy when she's covering shopping holidays like Prime Day and Black Friday, which she's now done for three years at Mashable. She graduated from New York University with a B.A. in Journalism and English Literature. You can follow her on X @betallard and reach her by email at bethany.allard@mashable.com . In her free time, you'll find her playing her Switch, hanging with her cat Mila, or cooking something new in her kitchen.","sameAs":["https:\/\/twitter.com\/betallard"],"agentInteractionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https:\/\/schema.org\/WriteAction","userInteractionCount":629},"@id":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/author\/bethanyallard"}}</script> <link rel="preconnect" href="//cdn.ziffstatic.com"> <link rel="preconnect" href="//www.googletagmanager.com"> <link rel="preload" href="/css/app.css?id=6270d11be6c64d4dc4b2f66186bf2ae9" as="style"> <link rel="preload" href="/fonts/Outfit.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin> <link rel="preload" as="image" href="https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/defaults/fallback-thumbnail.fill.size_100x100.1.png" > <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" crossorigin="use-credentials"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/app.css?id=6270d11be6c64d4dc4b2f66186bf2ae9"> <link rel="preload" href="https://g.mashable.com/mashable.js?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Fauthor%2Fbethanyallard" as="script"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://g.mashable.com/mashable.js?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Fauthor%2Fbethanyallard" defer></script> <link rel="preload" as="image" href="/images/icons/spritemap.svg"> <link rel="preload" href="https://cdn.ziffstatic.com/jst/zdconsent.js" as="script"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.ziffstatic.com/jst/zdconsent.js" defer></script> <link rel="preload" href="https://cdn.static.zdbb.net/js/z0WVjCBSEeGLoxIxOQVEwQ.min.js" as="script"> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.static.zdbb.net/js/z0WVjCBSEeGLoxIxOQVEwQ.min.js" defer></script> <script src="/js/ga-session.js?id=a369edb1387d56de7a50d35b4d472e18"></script> <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-BPBF083TYP"></script> <script> window.globalGAInfo = {"page_view_type":"Standard","template":"author","content_type":"author","split_test_identifier":null,"split_test_variant":null,"object_uuid":"02h6xmSuZQLBUuGjUwbKh7Q","object_type":"author","title":null,"canonical_url":"https:\/\/mashable.com\/author\/bethanyallard","full_published_date":"11\/22\/2023","original_published_date":"08\/23\/2021"}; window.globalGAInfo.page_path = window.location.pathname; window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; gtag = window.gtag = function(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-BPBF083TYP',{ 'send_page_view': false, 'session': cookies.get('session'), template: window.globalGAInfo.template || null, split_test_identifier: window.globalGAInfo.split_test_identifier || null, split_test_variant: window.globalGAInfo.split_test_variant || null, ad_block: window.adblock ?

Angeles-based shopping reporter at Mashable covering beauty tech, dating, sex and relationships, and headphones. That basically means she puts her hair through a lot, scrolls through a lot of dating apps, and rotates through a lot of different headphones. In addition to testing out and rounding up the best products, she also covers deals for Mashable, paying an especially obsessive amount of attention to Apple deals and prices. That knowledge comes in handy when she's covering shopping holidays like Prime Day and Black Friday, which she's now done for three years at Mashable. </p><p>She graduated from New York University with a B.A. in Journalism and English Literature.
