Eleanor (Ellie) is the Deputy Homes & Garden Product Editor for Yours, Modern Gardens and Take A Break Pets. In this role, she oversees the best-of listicles, how-to guides and product reviews across homes, gardens, pets and everything in between.
Ellie began her passion for writing while studying for her English Literature and Drama BA at The University of Kent, where she was the Culture Editor of the university paper, InQuire. She actively wrote a blog whilst travelling during her year abroad in Denmark and she subsequently joined Bauer Media Group soon after she graduated. In 2017, she started working for Yours Magazine as part of the Commercial Team, hosting in-person events for the lovely Yours readers and recommending the best products on the pages of the magazine. She then became a commercial writer for Yours, What's The Best, Take A Break Pets and others, researching and continuing the pursuit of must-have buys for our audiences.
Pets have always been an essential part of Ellie's home; she's been a pet parent to bunnies her entire life and always welcomes bunny cuddles with George and Elmer, the family rabbits, whenever she goes home to visit the South Coast. Since leaving home she's played parent to hamsters, including her current hammy Dora, a six-month-old Syrian hamster. It's fair to say she knows just how to care for these little fluffs. From hamster care tips and hamster food to the best rabbit hutches, she knows how to keep these small animals happy and healthy.
In her spare time, Ellie loves to read (the bookshelves are a staple in her home), go to gigs, and try out new crafts. From Jesmonite casting to candle-making, crochet to painting, she’s prepared to turn a dab hand to anything that looks good in the home. She loves to look for home inspiration online and you'll often find her hooked watching pet reels on Instagram.
