Danielle Sinay

Editor at Glamour

United States

Hi! I'm Danielle: a Brooklyn-based (but LA-raised!) writer and editor covering beauty, health, wellness, lifestyle, culture, and pretty much all things "trending." I'm currently a beauty editor at Glamour. I'm always a Libra (Aquarius moon; Leo rising).

As an Extremely Online Millennial™, I specialize in breaking down what's buzzy, like TikTok trends & "wellness" fads, plastic surgery & injectables, AI & social media, sex & relationships, pop culture, influencers, & celebrities, and the latest in hair, makeup, skin care, sleep, nutrition, fitness, astrology, and shopping. TL;DR: I'm an anthropomorphized women's magazine.

I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Journalism from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, where my thesis examined TikTok’s influence on young women pursuing cosmetic injectables, and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Nonfiction Writing from The New School.

New Year's Resolution Diets Don't Work-Why Do We Keep Trying to Make Them Happen?

January is meant to be a fresh start, but the month always looks the same: a 31-day-long barrage of New Year's weight-loss ads falsely promising a "new you." But research consistently shows that restrictive diets are not just ineffective but cause much more harm than good. We asked experts how to break the cycle.
