Natalie Reilly

Natalie comes from a long line of people who love to tell other people what to do. Natalie was nine years old when she first gave unsolicited advice to her own mother regarding her marriage to Natalie's father - advice which, according to Natalie's mother was invaluable, and not at all precocious. It's this almost reflexive need to proffer guidance, combined with her deep neurosis and extreme self consciousness in new situations, that made Natalie the perfect person to write the weekly column Things You Should Know By Now in Sunday Life magazine. Natalie has been a journalist for over 10 years, writing for such publications as Who Magazine, Marie Claire and Sunday Life, where she's also deputy editor.
