Our mission at womanandhome.com is to keep women informed on the subjects that matter to them, so they can live smarter, healthier and happier lives. We publish expertly researched buying guides, in-depth features and the latest news and deals across fashion, beauty, health and wellbeing, homes and gardens, royal news and life and entertainment.

Every day our editors examine global events and curate a broad range of stories that inform, inspire and excite readers. Expect a mix of grown-up celebrity and royal news, as well as informative, no-nonsense health and wellbeing features about subjects like the menopause. Our writers and editors have lived experience of the needs of many women, and painstakingly test hundreds of products to make life easier, from shampoos for fine hair, to skin-smoothing serums, to trainers that combine comfort with style.

Looking to redecorate or invest in some new home essentials? We have you covered there too, with our army of fastidious reviewers reporting on the best household items you can buy, such as kitchenware or mattress toppers. And if that wasn’t enough, we also filter through the latest fashion and beauty noise to offer you advice on the trends you’ll actually want to try - that are flattering as well as stylish.

Woman & Home magazine was first founded in 1926 and Womanandhome.com is now one of the leading women’s lifestyle brands, supporting women and inspiring women in the same way our magazine has done for nearly 100 years. We have millions of readers following our content every month. And we’re more than just a website. Find us on:

Meet our team

Our editorial team has decades of extensive experience in the women’s lifestyle media sector. They have worked at some of the leading publications in their field.

Kerrie Hughes
Kerrie Hughes

Kerrie is the Editor of woman&home.com. For seven years previously she was editor of Future’s world-leading design title Creative Bloq, and has written for titles including T3, Coach and Fit&Well on a wide range of lifestyle topics.

After a decade of working in retail, Kerrie went back to education at the age of 27, graduating with a first-class honours degree in creative writing three years later. Her career in journalism began soon after, when she secured a job as a staff writer at Future Plc. In the 14 years since, she has worked her way up the ranks, gaining a wealth of digital experience along the way.

As a woman&home reader and the website's editor, Kerrie’s main purpose is to ensure the brand delivers high-quality, relevant content to help enrich and improve women’s lives – a responsibility she feels hugely passionate about.

Outside of work, if she manages to find a spare minute around her three young children, geriatric dog and activity-obsessed fiance, you’ll find her either throwing a barbell about at Crossfit, with her head in a good thriller novel or building one of the latest Lego ideas sets.
