Lauren RothLauren Roth is an Oklahoma City native and a monthly contributor for 405 Magazine, Central Oklahoma's premier lifestyle magazine. Her work has also appeared in American Airlines' in-flight magazine, American Way, on various travel websites (no, not jst reviews on Trip Advisor), as well as in countless (and so under-appreciated) ads related to her day job in marketing.
