She earned her nursing degree from Marymount University when she moved to Northern Virginia from her native St. Louis.\u00a0 Before taking time off to be with her three children, Natalie worked for nearly 15 years in a pediatrician\u2019s office. One of her responsibilities there was piercing the ears of babies, toddlers, and children. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast forward a few years, and the girls in her daughter\u2019s peer group started to get their ears pierced. Natalie heard the parents\u2019 comments about the experience, saying that there were limited choices. \u201cIt was basically a jewelry store, a piercing parlor, or a medical office,\u201d she said. \u201cParents had to make appointments, which could get tricky with schedules.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><em><strong>Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/haus-of-urbi-restons-newest-style-spot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haus of Urbi: Reston\u2019s Newest Style Spot<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natalie pierced a few of her daughter\u2019s friends&#8217; ears at their home and remarked to her husband how manageable it was. \u201cHe suggested I look into it as a business,\u201d she said.

She is a born-and-raised Beltway insider, and life brought her to New Jersey. She started working with the team as a freelance copy editor, started writing more, and learned that New Jersey does, in fact, have the best pizza and bagels in all the land. When she and her husband moved back to the DC area, she brought TLG along and is working on The Fairfax Girl, TLG's first licensee. Stephanie has a background in public policy, working for nearly 20 years in and around the federal government and is a licensed attorney. She has an undergraduate degree in journalism from the University of Richmond and a juris doctorate from the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law.","url":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/author\/stephanies\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225168","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/362"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225168"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225168\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/225180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
