New beginnings need a new routine, a fresh start, a change from what we’ve been doing all winter long.

Here are my top QVC picks for May:

Supersize of the month from Ultrasun

They’ve gone and done it again, when you think that this range had it all already, they surprise us with more. Now the tan activating SPF 30 has added benefits, if a healthier golden glow is what you’re after you’ve struck gold.

Prep your skin for exposure to the sun with this fast-absorbing, non-greasy, non-sticky UVA and UVB (SPF 30) sun protection gel from Ultrasun. The Body Tan Activator Sculpt not only offers SPF 30 protection for the body, it also helps to promote a healthy looking, sun-kissed glow and a sculpted appearance.

It gives long lasting protection after just one application of SPF from this Ultrasun range provides long-lasting protection and offers gentle formulas that are suitable for all skin types. With a shelf life of up to two years after opening these products will help keep your skin protected season after season.

Gardening Pick of the Month from Richard Jackson

This is how to grow bigger, better, healthier plants. Developed for outdoor and indoor plants growing in patio containers, hanging baskets and window-boxes, just one application gently feeds your plants all season long. A gardening essential for good year-round growth! Feeds your plants for up to 6 months.

The clever formula contains two types of feed granules: blue for quick release, helping plants establish faster; and green for longer term feeding. Easy Feed is also temperature controlled, releasing more nutrients in warmer weather, just when plants need them most

Can be used when planting up into containers but also in established pots and containers. Just poke holes in the soil with a pencil and sprinkle in the feed. All you have to do then is water water water. Ingenious product! Already been using mine.

Tri-Balm by Frances Prescott

I’ve only just discovered this and I don’t even know if it’s been on air at QVC, but it’s amazing! It’s a very hardcore multi-tasker. If you’re going on holiday this summer, let it be the first beauty product you pack. It’s a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser all in one stick balm.

Save space on your bathroom shelf or dressing table or even holiday luggage with this multi-tasker. A true three-in-one cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser, it addresses numerous skincare needs whether it be helping to melt away impurities and remove make-up, gently removing dead skin cells or hydrating and generally improving the appearance of texture, brightness and tone. Leave your skin lavishly looked after with this versatile beauty must-have.

It’s a high percentage natural oil-based formula rich in antioxidants vitamin A, E and C and blended with pumpkin enzyme, hyaluronic acid, carrot tissue oil and blackcurrant oil. Contains no parabens, dyes, fillers, silicon or sulphates.

Use it straight from the stick or run fingers over the balm to apply to face and neck. Then emulsify with water and rinse or wipe away with a cloth.  Top tip – apply to skin for 10 – 15 minutes as a moisturising treatment. Just feel and look at your skin afterwards, it tells you all you need to know!

Let me know what you think about any of the products I’ve highlighted above, I think all three are game changers.

May all your dreams come true,

Chloe xx

The post Spring skin here we come! appeared first on Stories.

Many experts tell us that our day is shaped by the good habits and consistent routines we have, so let’s work on this. Also, we need plenty of the Earth’s natural medicine in our lives – sunlight, fresh air, movement, fresh food, water. Sadly, even if we’re doing all we can to stay well, fit, healthy and happy we can still experience sleepless nights, anxiety and depression. There’s so much going on in the world right now, we’re all desperate for more peace, calm and serenity!

Elemis has recognised this need and brought us a very timely Beauty Pick of the Month – a supersize of the Pro-Collagen Marine Cleansing Balm Serenity 200ml size. Its aromatic is all about calming the mind and skin, peace, serenity and mindful moments. It’s packed with gorgeous relaxing aromatics like lavender, sage, geranium and camomile, perfect for inducing calm and serenity, or perhaps used as part of a pre-sleep routine. It can also multi-task as a morning or evening cleanser, flash balm, bath soak and massage balm. I’ve struggled a little on and off with sleep myself recently and I read we’re in a bit of a sleep epidemic – if you are having difficulty nodding off or even staying asleep in the night then this may help. I use this and This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray every night – which is also available in a supersize – superb combo.

If you are struggling with sleep and anxiety, here’s a couple of tips that have helped me…

• Work hard to manage your thoughts, don’t catastrophise situations and replace negative thoughts with three powerful positive ones
• Exercise. Wherever, however, whenever. Any form will do – get moving
• Breathing exercises – do them three times a day
• Visualisations of how you want situations or days to go
• Speak to friends and family to offload, a problem shared is a problem halved
• Build a life or routine you love, find your passion as a job or hobby
• Structure your day so you don’t get overwhelmed, writing lists can help with this
• Find ways to incorporate some relaxation into your life – read a book, a dip in the sea, meditate, listen to the birds, stare at the sky

Thankfully there’s lots we can do to help ourselves feel better in times of anxiety, but if you’re really struggling please share it with someone and just talk, it’s a good first step. Remember that becoming a better you isn’t a light switch moment, it’s a process.

Lots of love,

Chloe

The post Spring into a better place! appeared first on Stories.

After finally assembling a bird table I got for Christmas, I’ve placed it in the garden where I can see it while having a morning coffee. I’ve got some of Richard Jackson’s Premium Bird Food and I can’t wait for the birds to come and feed. I’m told by the experts it can take a few weeks for the birds to skeptically investigate the situation before commuting to feeding there. So I’m waiting patiently to see what happens.

I chose Richard Jackson’s Premium Bird Food because it’s a professionally formulated blend of nutritious seeds and natural ingredients designed to attract the widest range of birds to your garden and to provide them with high levels of energy all year round. This special high energy bird food is ideal for using in bird feeders, on bird tables and ground feeding, plus all of the ingredients can be eaten by the birds and there are no messy husks to clear up afterwards.

The best for the birds, the blend contains 13 natural ingredients including whole sunflower hearts (a rich source of oil and protein for all birds), higher energy suet pellets (a superfood for birds) and kibbled peanuts. It’s also 100% free of wheat flakes, a cheap filler used in some bird foods. It’s on a feature offer price at the time of writing.

I’m also going add onto the table some some Grumpy Gardener set of three border feeders and hang them off the table. Each features a durable sage-coloured finish and hangers to attach to hooks or branches to entice the birds in. Complete with nutrient-rich fatballs, mealworms and seeds to keep garden visitors well fed, this essential set is a must-have for an avid bird watcher – which I now am!

So hopefully these mindful activities with a bit of yoga on the side will help me achieve a more zen-like status and ultimately better sleep and a healthier life built for longevity!

I’ll upload any footage I get of the birds feeding in due course over the next few weeks as and when it happens – I’m chloeeverton1 on Instagram!

Stay peaceful, calm and carry on until next time

The post My mindful moments appeared first on Stories.

I’m trying to move more and walk more in general and lighter brighter mornings and evenings give us more time to do this. I had started to hit the gym again but somehow managed to hurt my back and quad in my very first session. Usually I’d run straight off to the physio to get it sorted, but this time I though I’d try some self treatment with the Theragun mini.

Theragun Mini is a pocket-sized, agile massage device designed to provide quality deep muscle treatment to help temporarily relax tension, relieve muscle soreness experienced post-exercise and increase flexibility, plus it comes complete with the Supersoft attachment created specifically for areas of the body that need a lighter touch. Compact yet powerful, soothe and massage muscles wherever you are with the Theragun Mini.

What’s great is that I have a few trips away and the small size of this device makes it easy to take with you, keep in your gym bag or even take out walking or running with you. The long battery life offers 150 minutes of continuous use, so it will always be there when you need it.

For your workouts – the Theragun Mini is ideal to use pre and post-workout to temporarily relive tension, soreness and stiffness in your muscles. With shown results, in a study of 40 athletes aged between 24 – 27 showed Theragun percussive therapy accelerated recovery from exercise when compared to foam rolling or vibration.

I actually really enjoy using it and have become a little addicted to the feel good factor it gives me.

Get it out on our website, at the time of writing this it’s on 4 Easy Pays!

It means we can get out and get physical and active without any of the repercussions!

Stay fit and well until next time,

We can’t let this opportunity pass us by without giving it our best!

Right, here are your three top tip lip prep steps…

1. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate…

The lips are actually delicate little suckers, and they don’t have their own oil glands so they can get very dry, cracked and flaky. The best way I’ve found to exfoliate them is with just a clean dry toothbrush WITHOUT toothpaste. This is a bit of a life hack because you don’t need any products at all. Gently brush over the top and bottom lip, not only does it help remove any flaky skin or uneven texture, but it also stimulates blood flow so you get lovely pink glowing lips. Do this every day!

2. Condition your lips…

My favourite from QVC for all day, every day that I can’t be without (in fact I’d say I’m addicted to it), is Gale Hayman’s Lip Lift. It comes in various configurations with us, but we currently have it as this trio or this supersize duo.

This is not a standard lip balm or salve but serious anti-ageing skincare, designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines around the lip contours. It is super saturating to leave your lips feeling moist and plump, can be used under or over lipstick and is also a big award winner at QVC, voted for as ‘best in category’ by our customers in The Beauty Excellence Awards.

3. Plump up your pout…

Check out Dr Esho on our website, he’s a well-known TV Doctor with a difference and Instagrammers and celebrities are going nuts for this Doctor range. Right now, we have an amazing Big Deal, or limited time offer, on this three-piece Volume Lip Treatment Collection. Forget scary injectables and try this first.

Currently available only at QVC, the Sculpt, Drench and Coat lip treatments work together to add the look of volume while moisturising and caring for your lips. From instant volume to TLC for dry skin, the trio really does have everything you need to ensure your lips look and feel their best and are perfectly primed for whatever lip colour you want to apply on top. Do your own before and after to see the results! I’m certain you’ll be back to me.

So, whether you’re taken and kissing you husband, wife or partner OR you’re at the office Christmas party hoping to pass under the mistletoe, let your lips do the talking!

And here’s a photo of Ted in bed, just to make you smile…

Whatever the weather, be happy!

The feel-good factor is tremendous and all outside in the fresh air, hopefully it will last deep into December and beyond. Just doing those jogs this week has made me feel much more balanced and in control of my life, which is what’s needed when life feels fast and furious. I’ve loved layering up in my Skechers active wear and Regatta lightweight jackets.

If you keep your eye on weather apps as I do, you’ll know temperatures are set to plummet very soon, real winter will kick in, some days maybe just a few degrees above freezing. So, keep your eyes peeled on Saturday 27th November because we have a lovely cosy faux down Centigrade coat for you as our Today’s Special Value (TSV).

It’s available in six perfect colours – Champagne, Black, Navy, Charcoal, Burgundy and Khaki. I’ve gone for the Champagne, it’s like a gorgeous radiant winter white with black tipped faux fur to really frame the face. It has snuggly cuffed sleeves and some sporty matt black accents, plus it has that gilet detail built in. The faux down mimics real down but suitable for vegans, essentially at the price there’s lots of designer touches.

No doubt when you’ve bought this, you’ll spring out of bed looking forward to those winter walks, not caring what the weather throws at you!

QVC is a busy hive of activity at this time of year with amazing Christmas offers, stay tuned and don’t miss a beat with our app!

Until next time, stay warm and healthy xxx

If you’re like me, every year we earmark January 1st as the time we’re going to make major changes, revamp our nutrition, tackle our bad habits and move our bodies. Has it worked? Does it work? For me, no! I last a month if that! So I, going forward, am going with a different approach and I urge you to join me.

The idea is to have a December Advent Calendar of Wellbeing, in other words doing something to invest in our health and wellbeing every day of December. It doesn’t need to be as hardcore as a run, HIT session or trip to the gym but maybe choose from activities like these:

• Meditation
• Reading books
• Painting/drawing/colouring
• Yoga
• Stretching
• Deep breathing
• Stair climbing
• Walking
• Skipping
• Kitchen disco dancing
• Gardening
• Swimming
• Dance classes
• Choir practice
• Hot long spa bath
• Sage cleansing
• Journaling
• Stand up paddle
• Weight training etc.

There are lots of ways to indulge in wellbeing these days.

A Fitbit can really help you track your progress and we’ve got several types on our website and hopefully one to suit your budget.

After about three years, yesterday I went for a run. It was hard and I managed about 15 minutes with a combination of jogging and walking. The reason I did this was Jackie Kabler, she inspired me after her 10 half marathons in 10 days! What an achievement!! So thank you Jackie, you’re my hero this week!!

If you need some workout gear for now or January, check out our Sketchers offers too.

So, are you on board? Let’s make December count!
