Career

Shortly after graduating university, Wood started her YouTube channel in summer 2013.[5] She became known for her fashion, beauty,[6] and lifestyle content, particularly her Size 14 clothing haul series.[7] She was a panelist at Summer in the City (SitC). As of 2024, Wood's channel had over 200 thousand subscribers.[8]

In addition, Wood became a regular contributor to Cosmopolitan UK[9] and worked as a multimedia editor at Sugarscape. After leaving the latter to freelance in 2017,[10] she began contributing to Metro.[11] In 2018 and 2019, her celebrity articles also appeared in Cosmopolitan's sister magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Marie Claire, and she had a stint at the latter as a morning editor.[9]
