Hello!<\/p>\n

As I haven\u2019t written a blog yet this year I will start by saying happy new year to you! I hope it has started off well for you although I know that times continue to be hard for many. I wrote a post on Instagram the other week after spending most of the New Year\u2019s Eve week working and it was about how lucky I feel to work where I do with such great people. Here at QVC the people I am surrounded with day to day are so much fun and it makes it such a lovely place to work and I just wanted to share on that post how grateful I feel to have that amongst what can be fairly gloomy times. I should also add a special mention to our wonderful team on floor who currently always have a seat and a fan waiting for this wearing pregnant lady in every studio\u2026 what stars they are!<\/p>\n

On that note, as the title suggests, this will be my last blog for a good few months as I\u2019m off on my maternity leave with my last two days at QVC being this week (Wednesday and Thursday). It feels strange because I never had an end date like this last time, because of covid and shielding etc I just left work one day just over half way through my pregnancy and then didn\u2019t come back to the building until after maternity leave. So this feels a little momentous to me this time and also quite nice to have a normal experience for once. I mean, what kind of mad woman had TWO babies during a pandemic?!<\/p>\n

I shall miss everyone at QVC but I\u2019m definitely ready as I\u2019m feeling pretty tired now and I\u2019m sure any of you that have been pregnant can understand that a two hour car journey isn\u2019t so comfy at 8 months along! I\u2019m looking forward to spending a little more time one-on-one with Beatrice before her new sibling makes an appearance and I have to share my attention. She is just full of life and fun at the moment and saying new words\/animal sounds all the time. It is so much fun to watch her personality come out and to see her learn so many new things. Can\u2019t say I\u2019m not slightly nervous about managing two under twos though\u2026 yikes!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Before I go, I want to chat about my Jewellery Insider role with you. We have put it on pause for while I am going off on leave, but it is going to be coming back when I do. So there\u2019ll still be Knowledge and Style posts on my Instagram, a monthly live to chat about what\u2019s coming up in the jewellery department<\/a> each month and hopefully some more exciting things too. I have had a few chats with some of our teams behind the scenes and I\u2019m so looking forward to what I could be bringing you with Jewellery Insider once I\u2019m back. As always, please let me know if there\u2019s anything you\u2019d like to see.<\/p>\n

I also quickly want to mention a new-to-QVC brand that will be featuring on air for the first time on 29th January. The brand is called Sea Magik<\/a> and I recently had the pleasure of meeting their founder, Kate, via video call. It was great to hear from her about the brand as it started because her father used to visit the natural salt lakes where he grew up in Hungary and their passion and beliefs as a brand all stem from that. They will be bringing all sort of goodies, including shampoo and conditioner (yes, you read that right), masks, mists and, of course, bathing salts. I have tried the magnesium baths salts, which have been a wonderful treat for my aching muscles and what\u2019s lovely is that there is also going to be a pack of three different types of bath salts so you\u2019ve got the right ones for the right moments. I really, really recommend tuning into the show to hear Kate talk you through all the fab items on offer as she has such a passion and amazing understanding of them. It\u2019s all about getting a true spa experience at home and getting back to the power of nature to do that.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Right, that\u2019s it from me really. I will just say a quick thank you before I go for all of your lovely messages to me about the pregnancy here and on social media – you\u2019re very kind and I really appreciate them. It\u2019s time for me to put these puffy feet up and relax as much as a toddler and mad Flatcoat retriever will let me! I\u2019ll probably be a bit scarce on social media for a while but I\u2019ll share a little announcement when the new family member arrives so follow me on Instagram if you\u2019d like to see that\u2026 if it\u2019s a girl, I\u2019ll be able to announce a name too, but if it\u2019s a boy there is currently a strong chance that it\u2019ll just be called \u201cbaby\u201d for a while as we really can\u2019t agree on any boys’ names!<\/p>\n

I hope the first half of 2022 for you is healthy, happy and enjoyable and I\u2019m hoping to be back with you on QVC for the second half of it.<\/p>\n

Best wishes to you and take care,
\nKathryn x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
