Hello,<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019re keeping well, and all is good! I\u2019m settling into my amazing life as a QVC presenter \u2013 I\u2019m thankful, loving every minute and being introduced to so many amazing people and brands.<\/p>\n

I learned so much about the Wynne Layers collection from our fabulous fashionista Evey Amery. My favourite combination was this oversized blouse<\/a> in the colour Monument, layered with a blue vest.<\/a><\/p>\n\"\"\n

My cousin has always raved about Skechers<\/a>, but I\u2019d never worn a pair before joining QVC and I love them! If you love them too or want to try them, we have a Today’s Special Value offer (24th August) on the Skechers Arch Fit Refine Trainer (189669). They are super trendy and so comfortable, so much so that I\u2019ve been running around the studios wearing them. I\u2019m still getting lost in the QVC HQ building! I\u2019m so bad with directions, I literally walked past the studio twice without realising and felt quite embarrassed when I lapped the floor manager twice, haha.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

If having a lovely deal on the 24th wasn\u2019t enough, the amazing deal energy rolls over into the next day 25th August, with this stunning Kipling Europa Large Shoulder Bag.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Kipling<\/a> bags have a special place in my heart as I worked with the bags on my second audition. I was blown away by the colour options and compartments. Honestly, my bag is a mess and I love the fact we can organise our lives nicely, securely, and neatly with these Kipling bags which are full of character, that we can stylishly take from season to season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been like a whole new wonderful season for me in my life too, as I debuted on the QVC’s Lunchtime Show with Katy Pullinger who I refer to as my presenter big sister. She has been there for me since the moment she knew that I got the job. Katy has a massive heart, helps, listens, reassures me and is just beautiful inside and out.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

A week of firsts<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love beauty so I was in my element to present Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Skin Smoothing Hydrating Duo<\/a> and Ultrasun Face & Scalp Spray SPF 50 75ml Duo. <\/a>It was the first time that I felt the lovely texture of an Elemis cream and the first time I used any Ultrasun – the spray felt really refreshing on my face. I also had the absolute pleasure of meeting Judith Williams<\/a> who is so beautiful and glamourous!<\/p>\n

Speaking of beauty and of course skincare, I had a chat with our gorgeous Elemis ambassador Keeley Aydin. I\u2019m so keen to learn about skincare and I had such fun learning about Elemis<\/a>, and she just radiated positivity.<\/p>\n

Another special moment this week was presenting my first Diamonique<\/a> show. I love sparkle and glitter and wanted to order every single thing from that hour – there were so many beautiful pieces. It was the first time I\u2019d been up, close, and personal with our simulated diamonds range and I was blown away with the amazing quality. I fell in love with the daisy pendant and chain<\/a> and charm friendship bracelet<\/a> as I love symbols and sentiments.<\/p>\n

Something I don\u2019t love is my eyelashes! They are short and damaged through years of individual lashes, so I was absolutely thrilled with the launch of UK Lash Eyelash and Eyebrow Conditioning Serum Set<\/a>. I was so thrilled – if you saw the show you\u2019ll know I was so excited as I couldn\u2019t pronounce the word eyebrow, literally stumbled over the word \u2013 it\u2019s live TV and I\u2019m new haha.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a 3-month course working to add hydration to promote your natural look and hopefully achieve the wow look – I want wow! I am giving this a go but I\u2019m so impatient and want results now, but I need to give it time and stick at it! I will keep you updated with my lash journey over the 90 days. Also, it\u2019s fantastic that there’s s a 90-day money back guarantee instead of the 60 days on this set.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m having the best time, but I felt I needed a little grounding as I wasn\u2019t sleeping in excitement! So, I got my crystals out \u2013 a mixture of rose quartz, citrine, clear quartz, red jasper and more.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I spoke to my Reiki Master teacher and friend Paul Miles for a bit of guidance. We spoke about meditations, grounding, mirroring \u2013 it was great! Paul taught me Reiki One, it was a beautiful emotional experience and we also discussed me doing Reiki 2.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d neglected my Muay Thai a bit as was so busy focusing on auditioning, getting this amazing job, leaving my old channel, training, and going live on QVC, so last week I went back. I missed the guys – I\u2019m the only female in the class most weeks but the guys are all lovely and very protective.<\/p>\n

To be honest, I hate working out, but I enjoyed being back. Apart from being great self-defence, it helps me focus in life, is good for my mind, body and soul.<\/p>\n

Health and wellbeing are so important for us all! On that note, I\u2019m off to do a guided meditation.<\/p>\n

I wish you all so much love and light
