Lily Anderson has contributed to various Bauer Media brands such as Yours, Mother&Baby, What’s The Best, Closer, heat and Spirit and Destiny as a Deputy Commercial Content Editor since 2019 and currently works at CPSL Mind as a Deputy Campaigns and Communications Manager.

Lily had always dreamt of being a writer so studied Magazine Journalism and Feature Writing at Southampton Solent University, where she achieved a BA back in 2015. She then spent the beginning of her writing career working across the travel, fashion and publishing industries, before making the switch to Bauer Media. Her career highlights include interviewing 90s girl group B*Witched, becoming the unofficial queen of toilet rolls and taste-testing wine in the name of journalism.

Lily’s love of shopping and finding the best deals can be traced back to her teenage years where she’d frequent charity shops searching out statement pieces. Lily is always on the search for the latest products and trends and when she isn’t trying out the latest kitchen appliances, garden furniture and home essentials, Lily is pushing forward health products for women and the latest fashion collaborations.

Outside of her shopping world, Lily enjoys cooking up a tasty meal, reading a good book, dancing at festivals, and trying her hand at photography.
