Heloise The New York Daily News called Heloise "the high priestess of household hints." As author of the internationally popular column, Hints from Heloise, she's undoubtedly the world's most famous name in household advice. Heloise, whose seven days a week column is syndicated by King Features to more than 500 newspapers across the United States and in 20 countries, has also written eight books, which have sold millions of copies. She is a contributing editor and writes a monthly column called The Heloise Helpline for Good Housekeeping magazine. She's also a frequent guest on network and local talk shows. Heloise devotes considerable time and energy on behalf of charitable organizations, making frequent appearances for the Shelter for Battered Women and the Lighthouse for the Blind. In 1991, the National Mental Health Association honored Heloise with its first Mental Health Mission Award for her outstanding contribution to mental health education of the public through her column. Heloise grew into her role as columnist at the knee of her legendary mother who began writing the first Hints from Heloise for the Honolulu Advertiser in 1959. She quickly learned how to tackle problems that are common to everyday households, and, while still in her teens, worked full time during summer vacations on the increasingly popular column. Although she had set out to teach math, she decided after graduating from Southwest Texas State University that writing Hints from Heloise was what she really wanted to do. Today the high-flying Texan shares her life with her husband, David, a plumbing contractor who was one of the country's first commercial hot-air balloonists. While Heloise loves ballooning, she keeps her feet on the ground in every other way. She remains unspoiled by her own international fame, and takes media attention with "a whole box of salt." Heloise also enjoys spending time with her beloved animals, Cabbie, a miniature schnauzer, and Rocky, a military macaw.
