Hello, I hope you’re all safe and well.<\/p>\n

As you can see we have started the Halloween festivities early in our house! The kids have decorated their bedrooms and are very excited \u2013 although with everything going on who knows if they will be allowed to trick or treat. We’ll wait and see, but hopefully with masks and hand gel and social distancing they can do a few houses.<\/p>\n

We are hoping to do a kitchen extension in January, so I’ve been meeting with kitchen companies and getting building quotes and all that stuff which has been stressful, but hopefully we’re close now, and then we can get excited.<\/p>\n

Talking of exciting \u2013 have you seen the TSV from Liz Earle<\/a>?!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

OMG it’s amazing! Such great value and you can grab it early. Look at how beautifully it arrives! \u00a3131 worth of value for \u00a353.96 plus P&P and it’s on 4 Easy Pays! If you love their number 15 fragrance you will love this, all you need to do is select whether you want gel, light or rich. This would make the most amazing Xmas gift or it’s simply an amazing time to stock up on your favourite products.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been enjoying the Inside QVC podcasts<\/a> then Sarah Carr from Liz Earle joined Will for this weeks, so have a listen. She’s a brave and wonderful woman.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I’m a huge fan of the brand Korres, I love their products but also their company ethos, so I am super happy that they are responsible for our October Beauty Pick of the Month – Korres Mediterranean Miracle Milk Serum for Face and Body<\/a>. Not only does it smell and feel gorgeous, but this will help target visible signs of ageing all over the body.<\/p>\n

Our Gardening Pick of the Month<\/a> is such a lovely gift idea.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Everything you need to create a gorgeous Christmas planter display that will make someone smile every time they look at it. It’s on Advanced Order but should get there early Dec in plenty of time for Xmas.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Thank you to everyone that tuned into the Gok’s Closet show on the first Friday of the month! I wore this dress<\/a> \u2013 Gok took the picture and had me in stitches at all the directions he was giving me. I love this dress! I’ve told him we need more colours!! So I think they’re coming.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I recently bought this clothes dryer<\/a> from Lakeland \u2013 it comes with the cover. I’m so impressed! I hate having the clothes drying all over the place and this dries them in a fraction of the time. Anything that helps with the never-ending pile of laundry is a winner right?!<\/p>\n

Talking of which I suppose I should go and put it away! Urgh!<\/p>\n

Have a lovely day and do keep an eye out for lots of vouchers and money off codes that will be popping up on the Q in the run up to Xmas.<\/p>\n

Take care<\/p>\n

Love Alex xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
