Hello!<\/p>\n

Wow, is that spring I see poking its head round the corner? I think it just might be! A welcome relief for many, I think, and what lovely days we\u2019ve had recently. I took the last week off from working at QVC, obviously not to go anywhere, but my husband had annual leave to use too and we spent the week getting small jobs done around the house. And my goodness, how nice it was to have a week where he was always around to help with the baby rather than go upstairs to work. We went on a good few family walks and it was lovely to see the snowdrops and few daffodils blooming too. I took this photo of Monty and it makes me laugh because it looks like he\u2019s doing a goofy grin in it!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

As I said, we\u2019re trying to plough on and get some of the jobs that need doing around the house sorted and with another pair of hands we\u2019ve managed to get some niggly, annoying jobs done like painting heating pipes and sanding and painting cupboard doors. We FINALLY put up the blind in our bathroom which really warms up the space… it was very bare and white on that side of the room before but this makes things feel cosier and brings in the blue and grey tiling. What do you think?<\/p>\n\"\"\n\"\"\n

My husband also boarded part of the loft so we\u2019ve been able to get a good few boxes up there, including lots of baby clothes and other bits and pieces. I also got a bit ruthless and went through my clothes and have given a lot to charity. I suppose we\u2019ve done a bit of an early spring clean\/clear out and it feels really good. So the next job is the hallway and dining room flooring… we\u2019ve got tile samples on the way. Oh, and we ordered some wardrobes for our bedroom! We\u2019ve foregone the fitted wardrobes, as they are all quite pricey, but we\u2019ve got some that will be only a few centimetres off fitted and it may be sad but I cannot tell you how excited I am to have wardrobes!! We\u2019ve only had a rail and a chest of drawers for YEARS and I can\u2019t wait to have a nice ordered space for all our clothes. Yippee!<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s all the exciting (for me) stuff at home but there\u2019s so much to get excited about at QVC at the moment… let me list a few of them for you.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a brand new launch from Elemis as they bring us a new fragrance option for their Cleaning Balm as Pick of the Month for March<\/a>. It\u2019s Water Mint scent and it\u2019s wonderfully refreshing.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

The lovely Charlie Brook\u2019s four leaf clover necklace is Diamonique Design of the Month<\/a> and it\u2019s so cute. It\u2019s a little four leaf clover that\u2019s made out of four hearts and is covered in sparkling Diamonique stones.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

It would make a gorgeous gift for Mothering Sunday and it\u2019s on an adjustable chain so can be worn with lots of necklines.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget there\u2019s been a huge new launch from Benefit<\/a> too. If you\u2019ve missed it, they\u2019ve brought out a brand new mascara<\/a> which is, get this, MAGNETIC! It\u2019s got some really clever technology in the wand that helps you get super long luscious lashes. I really like it because it seems to really grab and separate each of my lashes and make them look lovely and long without seeming false.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Speaking of make-up, one of my favourite ever brands is bringing us a Today\u2019s Special Value next week… it\u2019s Tarte<\/a>! On Tuesday 9th, they will be bringing us a 4 piece Flawless Complexion Collection with a bag.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

It includes a new Shape Tape Pressed Powder Foundation, which I am really excited to try. You also get a Shape Tape Concealer, an Eyeshadow Palette and my favourite mascara, Lights, Camera, Lashes. It\u2019s a great value kit and I\u2019m definitely getting it for myself. I\u2019ll be bringing you a full hour of Tarte<\/a> on the day and I am really looking forward to it so I hope you can join me for that.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

There\u2019s special promotion for March too where a few of our brands, including Tarte<\/a>, have reduced P&P to \u00a31.95. So now\u2019s the time to stock up on your faves… I know I will be.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also had Dannii Minogue<\/a> launch her petite clothes and Diamonique<\/a> ranges just recently and there are some really lovely pieces. I really suggest you check it out, especially if you are truly a petite lady.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Spring fashion is really leaping into action, so make sure you keep browsing that fashion tab and watching the style channel too… so much exciting stuff on the way. Also, if you love fashion, then check out our lovely presenter stylist Stine here on Stories<\/a> or follow her on Instagram.<\/p>\n

I could go on and on, there’s so much happening at the moment but I\u2019ll leave it there for now. Thanks as always for reading and remember you can find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram too.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful week and I\u2019ll see you back here soon.
