After writing her blog from a young age Emily realised that she loved lifestyle writing and she quickly decided it was something she wanted to pursue in her adulthood. So, after finishing her undergraduate degree in English Literature she decided to take the leap and move out of Yorkshire to study a master's in magazine journalism in London at City University. The leap paid off when she landed an internship at woman&home where she was able to write diverse lifestyle content for a beloved reputable magazine. After interning for several weeks Emily was offered a staff writer position and has since covered entertainment news, health and wellbeing writing as well as product reviews. She now covers all things lifestyle with a specific focus on home content, so if you’re wondering how best to clean something in your home she may just have the answer for you!
