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. 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 could write diverse lifestyle content for a beloved reputable magazine. Now a staff writer for the brand, she has since covered entertainment news, health and wellbeing writing as well as product reviews. She now specialises in all things homes, discussing the latest cleaning hacks, expert-led gardening how-tos and of course houseplant care.
