Zoe Malin's Picks
This version of Zoe Malin - Breaking News | NBC News Clone was adapted by NBC News Clone to help readers digest key facts more efficiently.
First impressions are everything to me. After testing hundreds of products over my years as a commerce reporter, I can tell if a running shoe is supportive enough within the first mile; I can decide if a fancy olive oil is worth splurging on after the first taste; and I can determine if a toy is actually going to occupy my pets just by looking at it. Do some things deserve a second chance? Absolutely. But if I’m impressed right off the bat, I won’t stop talking about it. And once I’m obsessed, I’m a ride or die fan for life. - Zoe Malin, reporter
