About Us

When we launched a topic review in 2012, SoulCycle had just pedaled onto the scene, a company called BluePrintCleanse had just launched, and Whole Foods wasn’t absolutely everywhere. Now the wellness lifestyle is so engrained, not just in New York, but nationwide. People talk about their workout loves over dinner and gush about their juicers.

From the beginning, topic review launched as the premier lifestyle and news publication devoted to the wellness scene—and its chic lifestyle components. Created by two journalists—and joined by many more—it is known for its impeccable reporting and trend-spotting on the healthy living beat. It has become the leading source of intel on boutique fitness and the juice industry, plus cutting-edge nutrition, natural beauty, and more.

Michelle Riley

A lifelong writer, Michelle covers any and everything from her home base in LA. She got her start in the industry by founding—and eventually selling—a popular website called Broke Girl’s Guide. She’s since served as the Senior Lifestyle Editor for The Zoe Report, freelanced as travel, health, beauty, relationships, and style writer for a host of online publications, and even did time spearheading marketing efforts for a venture-backed fashion-tech company. In her spare time (ha!) Michelle works on TV projects, offers consulting services to bloggers wanting to build their businesses, and is always starting at least one new company.

Wellness Habitat: Y7, Little Pine, The Punchbowl, Temescal Canyon and Griffith Park, Sage, and anywhere there is dancing (I love Obe!).

Tehrene Firman

Tehrene got her start as an entertainment editor at Teen Vogue, but realized her true passion is in the health and wellness space. When she’s not bringing her trend-spotting and news-writing skills, the Iowa native can be found testing vegan recipes for her blog, Green Being Wellness, going on walks with her fluffy little dog, binge-watching The Office, or getting her sweat on in the infrared sauna.

Wellness Habitat: modelFIT online, matcha lattes, hiking, Pilates reformer, and petting cows at farm sanctuaries.
