About

Hi there I’m Shauna Britt. I’ve always found joy in mixing practicality with a little spark of curiosity: growing up in a small college town in Oregon, I spent weekends exploring second-hand bookstores and tinkering with gadgets and culinary tools just to see how things worked.

After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Oregon, I spent five years working in hospitality management in Portland running the front-of-house at a boutique inn, coordinating last-minute guest requests, balancing budgets and allergens, and learning that trust is everything when someone asks for your recommendation.

That early experience gave me an unfiltered appreciation for real-world performance: does this product hold up when someone’s staying up past midnight? Will this kitchen gadget still show up after one too many washes? Does this camera lens survive being hucked into a backpack for a weekend road trip?

How Monalicious Media Became a Product Review Haven

Around 2025, I decided to channel that hands-on, hospitality-meets-curiosity mindset into a digital space and that’s how Monalicious Media was born. Although the domain had a past life rooted in creative-community work, I felt it was the perfect home for a new chapter: honest product reviews, real-world usage insights, and buying advice that’s grounded in everyday life (not just hype). Rather than chasing the latest gadget just because it’s shiny, I’m here to ask: will this tool improve your day? Will it feel good in your hands? Will the customer support still be kind when something goes sideways?

My Approach to Reviews

When I write about a product, I try to imagine you sitting in your living room (or your kitchen, or your home office) with that same sense of “Is this worth it?” I use each item as I would if it were already mine putting it through its paces over weeks, noting what works, what doesn’t, and who it’s actually good for. I look for those subtle things: does the handle feel comfortable? Is the instruction manual actually helpful? Does the warranty stand up when you need it? And then I share that experience with you not in tech-speak, but in plain language from one real person to another.

What Kind of Life I’m Living

These days I’m based in Asheville, North Carolina, where I split my time between forest walks, playing with my two rescue Aussies, and working at my desk with a half-empty mug of strong coffee at my side. I believe in living light but equipped: minimal clutter, maximum usefulness. If I’m going to recommend something, it’s because I believe it will help you live better—whether that means freeing up your time, saving you money, or just making one little corner of your busy life a little smoother.

Why You Can Trust This Space

I’m an affiliate of various online retailers, which simply means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through links I provide but that never influences what I review or how I rate it. My priority is you, the reader. I value integrity over clicks. Every review is based on hands-on use, not simply a spec sheet. If something is solid, I’ll say so. If it falls short, I’ll tell you genuinely. My goal is to be the friend you’d turn to before making a purchase not the marketer pushing you toward a “must-buy.”

Thank you for stopping by Monalicious Media. I hope this site becomes a little corner of clarity in the sea of “two-day shipping hype.” I’m excited to help you figure out what actually works.
