It\u2019s my birthday in a couple of weeks and I have been itching for bone conducting headphones for ages. It\u2019s a long story, but normal ones don\u2019t fit in my ears, so it\u2019s either big chunky over ears that block out everyone else or nothing at all.<\/p>\n

Myles was convinced that I just didn\u2019t know how to put them in and tried to prove it to me the other day by proceeding to fit his Airpods<\/a> in my ears and then shrieked \u201cyou\u2019re ears are so weird.\u201d They aren\u2019t weird, they are just not very conducive to earphones, buds, pods or anything else they might be called!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I was blown away when I first tried bone conducting ones in a running shop, so I was thrilled to bits to see that we\u2019ve got some of the super lightweight Aftershokz<\/a> in amongst all the other fabulous deals. I\u2019ve umm-ed and ahh-ed about them so many times, but with being a Black Friday<\/a> deal, they slipped into my basket! I mean, it\u2019s my birthday after all! They will be brilliant for when I\u2019m pottering around the house listening to podcasts or walking the dog, but still want to hear what\u2019s going on in the world around me. By the way, the black suit? It\u2019s the Ruth Langsford<\/strong><\/a> Tuxedo trousers<\/a> and jacket<\/a>\u2026 in black!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

The other thing that slipped in my basket alongside the headphones is the whacking great supersize L\u2019Occitane<\/strong><\/a> Almond Oil Bodywash<\/a> – again, tooooo good a deal to miss. Besides, I\u2019m sure the dog wants to give me a birthday present, particularly as I take him on such lovely walks. We have had such a gorgeous autumn, haven\u2019t we?<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It\u2019s funny because people often think it\u2019s rubbish having a birthday so close to Christmas, but of course, firstly I don\u2019t know anything else, but secondly, it means all the best stuff at the best prices appears!<\/p>\n

The other thing that\u2019s new to me that I\u2019ve been thoroughly enjoying using is the Korres<\/strong><\/a> range. I love the entire story, homeopathic pharmacology, women scientists, biological research and all using pure botanicals – real state of the art stuff married with some ancient know-how, brilliant!<\/p>\n

So we\u2019ve got some great things coming to you on Friday in the shows, but one that is already selling like hotcakes is the Black Friday Today’s Special Value<\/a>, which I love so much that I\u2019ve had to come back for more so I can be stocked up for next year. The Peach option is utterly divine. Don\u2019t ask me how, but smelling it just makes me feel happy – and don\u2019t we all need a bit of extra help with that right now?!<\/p>\n

Even better with all these Black Friday<\/a> deals, you don\u2019t have to go anywhere but instead, we bring them to you!<\/p>\n

I hope that you and your loved ones continue to stay well.<\/p>\n

Much love<\/p>\n

Pipa x<\/p>\n
