Her two humor-based blogs (Adornmentality.com and WhatsOnHerWrist.com) earned her back-to-back nominations in the category of Excellence in Editorial Media by the Women’s Jewelry Association, and alongside her own podcast titled, “The Barb Wire” she can also be found guest co-hosting the occasional Scottish Watches podcast. 

Ms. Palumbo is recognized mostly for bringing a lighthearted, humorous and yet honest approach to horology while also focusing on women who have made a major impact in the watch industry throughout its existence.
