Jennifer is a freelance writer with over a decade of experience working in ecommerce, and is the former editor of Top Ten Reviews. You may have also seen and/or read some of her articles on TechRadar, Homes&Gardens and Real Homes.
She enjoys testing new gadgets and tools and, having bought a renovation project a few years ago, hasn’t been afraid to get stuck into DIY projects. She has stripped wallpaper, pulled down ceilings, pulled up flooring, filled & sanded skirting and painted the walls and ceilings throughout the home. But the most rewarding (and satisfying) of all tasks is using a spade to dig out old tree trunks, remove unwanted hedging and shift subbase. And she’s there for anything in the garden that requires a chainsaw or hedge trimmer, too. Next up? More work in the garden. While it now has a green lawn it is in need of some clever landscaping, and some serious weeding.
