Elizabeth Reid
Elizabeth Reid is originally from Houston, TX. She and her husband moved to DC from San Francisco nine years ago. They currently live in Georgetown with their three girls, Caroline (6), Charlotte (5) and Ellie (2) and their lab Maggie. She loves to exercise, travel and spend time with her family. But, jogging is her main outlet. As a Mother, she has had many challenges and exercise helps clear her head, but so does a glass of wine! Now that her girls are getting older, last year she became a Consultant for Beautycounter. She is helping spread the mission of safer personal care products.
