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 shopping news and deals across fashion, beauty, health and wellbeing and lifestyle.

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. We’ll keep you abreast of relevant medical breakthroughs, and myth-bust around emotive topics like dementia or cancer. Worried about your waistline? We seek out internationally renowned experts to give up-to-date advice on dieting and weight-loss plans, and world-famous chefs to delight with their delicious and healthy recipes. 

That’s not all. We also aim to inspire your holiday plans with safe travel recommendations both near and far. Looking to redecorate or invest in some new tech for your home? We have you covered there too, with our army of fastidious reviewers reporting on the best household gadgets you can buy. 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.

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 acting editor of woman&home. 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 ripe old 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 through the ranks, gaining a wealth of digital experience along the way.

As a woman&home reader and a senior digital 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.

Mariana Cerqueira

Mariana is the Managing Editor of woman&home. She was previously Editor of My Imperfect Life and has worked for titles including Goodto and The Sun, covering all aspects of women’s lifestyle — from beauty and fashion to wellness and travel. 

Before she started her professional career, she completed the prestigious MA Magazine Journalism degree at City University London. Since then she has been nominated for a few industry awards, including New Digital Talent of the Year at the 2016 PPA Digital Awards; AOP Digital Team of the Year in 2020 for her work as News Editor across woman&home, Goodto, Celebs Now and Woman Magazine; and AOP Digital Journalist of the Year that same year, when she broke records and became the most read author in the company.

In her spare time, you can find Mariana at her nearest reformer pilates studio - her latest fitness obsession.

Aleesha Badkar

Aleesha is acting Beauty Editor at woman&home, where she looks after the beauty content.

Before that, Aleesha was shopping writer for woman&home and gained an AOP awards nomination after working on the news team. She earned an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London in 2017 and has since worked with a number of brands including Women's Health, Stylist and Goodto. 

When she’s not testing new products, Aleesha spends her time soaking up the newest bestsellers and Netflix releases, exploring different wines, attempting new languages and has been known to be a bit of a jet setter (with a penchant for business class) after spending a year living in Madrid.

Having written for the likes of the OK! magazine, NEW magazine, Daily Mirror, Daily Express and Stylist.co.uk, Rivkie loves putting together accessible looks for all budgets and styles and believes in quality over quantity, preferring to invest in items she'll love for years to come.

Health editor Grace Walsh
Grace Walsh

Grace is the Digital Health Editor at woman&home. She's a health journalist with over six years experience writing and editing for UK publications and has covered (almost) everything in the world of health and wellbeing with bylines in Cosmopolitan, The i Paper, GoodtoKnow and more.

After graduating from the University of Warwick, she started her career writing about the complexities of sex and relationships, before combining personal hobbies with professional and writing about fitness. Everything from the best protein powder to dating apps, the latest health trend to nutrition essentials, Grace has a huge spectrum of interests in the wellness sphere. 

Outside of work, when Grace isn’t in the gym, cycling, or running, you’ll find her sussing out the city’s latest coffee spots or experimenting in the kitchen.

And while she’d always rather pick up a barbell than go to a yoga class, she believes that the best exercise is the one that you enjoy the most - and that wellness looks different for everyone.

With a keen eye for the latest interior trends, there's not a lot she doesn't know about home decor – whether it’s what colour we should be painting our living rooms next season, or if the latest 'must-have' buys are actually worth investing in.

A true homes and interiors expert, Tamara has served as an ambassador for leading interior brands on multiple occasions, including appearing on Matalan’s The Show and presenting at top interior trends events such as the Autumn Fair and Spring Fair.
