So writing health and lifestyle features is a bonus for me. Not only do I get to find out about all the latest health and beauty developments and treatments before anyone else I also learn about the best ways to live healthier, greener and for longer, which allays my fears.

And while it’s important to make sure we stay fit and well it’s just as crucial to think of others, and our environment. From eco-warriors like Midge Ure to environmental charities including Recycle Now, WWF and the Woodlands Trust, I have worked alongside various organisations and green campaigners to try to help people understand how even the smallest changes can make a big difference to the planet.

As editor of Asda Magazine’s website I currently write and commission a broad spectrum of heath and lifestyle features.

Prior to  this I have written numerous lifestyle and green features for Tesco magazine (which has a readership of 7 million) and I have also written health and lifestyle pieces for national and regional publications including The Times and The London Paper.
