Much to be joyful and merry about

Hello and I hope that you are all keeping well. I don’t know about you, but this year feels wintery and more Christmassy much sooner than others. We will be putting our tree up around November 20th and getting our decorations up nice and early this year.

At QVC, we have been getting in the festive groove for quite a while with our Christmas trees, fabulous decorations and lighting, and not forgetting our amazing food selections with Andi Peters and Dale, I love watching their shows.

This week is particularly exciting, as we have some incredible offers on, and if you love fashion and beauty then you really are in for a treat. This will also be my last blog for a while, as this week I will head off on maternity leave until next year. You can always stay in touch with me on @eilidhnairnTV on my Instagram.

Let’s start with beauty and more specifically the brand new Elemis Today’s Special Value, which is now available on this pre-launch link – Elemis Pro Collagen Face & Body 8 piece Collection. The launch will be 9pm on Sunday 14th November.

They have put together a collection filled to the brim with luxury, hero products, all stored in a beautiful velvet bag. You get to choose your fragrance between Frangipani Monoi/ Lime & Ginger/ Skin Nourishing, but the products remain the same. Here’s what you get in each.

• 1 x Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser (75ml) 
• 1 x Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm (50g)
• 1 x Soothing Apricot Toner (200ml) 
• 1 x Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (30ml) 
• 1 x Pro-Collagen Marine Oil (5ml) 
• 1 x Lime & Ginger/ Frangipani Monoi/Skin Nourishing Velvet Body Butter (100ml) 
• 1 x Lime & Ginger/Frangipani Monoi/Skin Nourishing Bath & Shower Milk (300ml)
• 1 x Lime & Ginger/ Frangipani Monoi/Skin Nourishing Hand & Nail Balm (20ml) 
• 1 x green/red/blue velvet vanity bag 

This is by all means a fantastic collection and when I tell you the value you’ll be amazed. If you were to put this collection together yourself via QVC, you’d pay £193 + P&P. The Today’s Special Value price is only £54.96 + P&P and on three Easy Pays of just £13.74 + P&P, should you wish to spread the cost. You are making a huge saving of £138.04.

This could be someone very special’s Christmas present or a gift to yourself for all your hard work this year. I’d be quick though, as they are flying out the door! I’m in love with the Lime & Ginger fragrance and absolutely love how soft and velvety the cream feels, so luxurious and nourishing. After applying in the morning I could still smell it on my skin in the late afternoon.

Next on my list of great offers is from Easilocks.

This will be the new Today’s Special Value running on Wednesday November 10th, item number 722237, Easilocks set of 2 HD Fibre Scrunchies. This is an award-winning, family-run company who specialise in hair pieces and wigs of a very high standard. The 13 colour choices they offer are superb and the feel and texture (although not real) feels life-like and behaves as real hair would. You can treat the hair pieces as you would real hair too by washing, drying and using tools to curl or straighten.

As many of you know, I love hair and playing with different styles so was delighted to try the scrunchie. It’s so easy to use and in these pictures I simply put up my own hair in a ponytail and coiled my hair around the band, looped the scrunchie over my own bun and pinned it in place and voila, a nice full luscious top do. What I love is the fact the colour match is so like my own hair and because I have a balyage, it means that ordinarily finding an exact colour match could be tricky.

Easilocks have got a fab range of colours, which I’d recommend checking on the website to find the one that suits you best. This is an instant look changer and can really give you confidence especially if you have thinner or finer hair.

Here are the details:

What’s in the box?

• 1 x wavy fibre hair scrunchie
• 1 x straight fibre hair scrunchie

If you were to buy this set individually from QVCUK.com you’d pay £26, plus P&P. So for our TSV price of just £19.98, plus P&P, you’re saving £6.02.

To round up my top finds this week, I had to include the stunning and beautifully made Helene Berman faux fur hooded coat with zip, which is one of the many Big Deals that we have currently running at the moment.

You will love how immediately elegant and stylish you feel in this. The coat offers style, warmth and an edginess that translates across lots of different personal styles. It comes in Khaki (the one I’m wearing) Petrol, Ivory, Black and Navy. There’s a nice drop in the price from £122 to £92.94 + P&P or three Easy Pays of £30.98 plus P&P. Remember with the Big Deals that they are only around for a limited time only.

In fact, you can see pictures of it and a little video that presenter stylist Stine and I made recently. We were focusing on maternity wear and how you can wear clothes from non-maternity ranges too. Here’s the link to Stine’s edit.

I mentioned at the top of the blog that this would be my last blog for awhile, as I’ll be heading off this week on maternity leave until next year. So I wanted to share some family pictures of our recent Christmas pudding making. It was such a lovely afternoon with the family, which include Grandma Seaside (Beau’s name for Elliot’s mum) Elliot, Beau, Joel, Errol, Adele, myself and of course, the bump!

We played Christmas music and set up the pudding making station in the dining room. Everyone had a little job either chopping fruit, nuts or weighing sugar and flour. Beau loved being able to stir the pudding with his big brothers. Just think this time next year, there will be another set of little hands to join in the fun.

I’ve been so busy lately nesting and getting the new baby things organised. I’d kept lots of Beau’s first clothes so they have all been washed and of course, I couldn’t help buying more tiny little mittens and cardigans. With only about 3 weeks to go (give or take) we are  feeling very excited!

I will be sure to send in photos to QVC and share on my Instagram too.

Please do stay in touch, I will miss you all and look forward to hearing from you over the next months.

Lots of love

Eilidh and the bump xx
