Hello and thanks for reading my final blog of October.<\/p>\n

Hope you are slowly gearing up for Christmas and most importantly, keeping warm!<\/p>\n

So, a few things to report this week in my blog:<\/p>\n

Firstly, we have a really exciting Yankee Candle Today\u2019s Special Value offer tonight, Thursday 31st of October. It’s the biggest biggest amount of ‘wax’ in a TSV that we have ever seen at QVC, including two large, two medium and two small jar candles.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

You can choose between eight fragrances, and I was lucky enough to try out a small jar candle in one of the newest festive fragrances, \u2018Glittering Star\u2019.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

It was beautifully spicy and warm yet bright and welcoming. Join myself and Rosa for the 9pm launch and again at midnight – both full hour Yankee candle shows – I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n

As you know, I am a big fan of the Joules menswear range that we have at QVC, and you can see me here wearing another couple of pieces from the range.<\/p>\n

Joules Men’s Denton Crew Neck Solid T Shirt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a great layering piece<\/a> made from cotton, and you can never go wrong with a plain grey T-shirt worn alone on warmer days or under a jumper of shirt in winter. And then this smart navy sweater.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Joules Men’s Jarvis Crew Neck Jumper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With its medium density of cotton, it’s light enough to wear with a blazer, but warm enough to keep out the cold if travelling to work, or going out for a walk or lunch. You can see the full Menswear range here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to visit the Houses of Parliament last week – what an amazing experience! I was the guest of my good friend Lance, who\u2019d been invited by his local MP Meg Hillier.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

It was a wonderful evening to celebrate black history month; \u00a0we enjoyed a drinks reception\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc, a tour of the house of Parliament (both the House of Commons and House of Lords), and a rare chance to see some of the workings of the heart of our UK government.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

You can see various photos here where I am enjoying the visit.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

And here’s a picture of lovely Meg herself, who is also currently in the running to become Speaker of the House, so we all have our fingers crossed for her.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

And finally, here is a recipe for a lovely warming drink that I have been enjoying recently. It\u2019s from my friend and brilliant yoga teacher Ling:\u00a0an Ayurvedic<\/em>\u00a0 vegan drink and it’s absolutely delicious. It\u2019s easy to make, and as you can see in the picture here it has a beautiful golden colour.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Here is the recipe:<\/p>\n
