Hello – hope you are well and enjoying the run up to Christmas?<\/p>\n

I must admit, I am not so on top of my Christmas planning yet. Life just seems to have been so busy lately but I am sure I will catch up in due course.<\/p>\n

If you are the same and need a little helping hand, I reckon I have a few ideas I can offer with my shows coming up on QVC.<\/p>\n

Firstly, this Friday is the famous Black Friday, and along with Ali Young I’ll be bringing you a Black Friday preview from 9pm till midnight on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, the Today\u2019s Special Value offer for this day has to be something phenomenal, and it is. It’s a six-piece gifting collection from beauty brand Philosophy –<\/a>\u00a0three full size fragrances and a matching body\/hair wash, complete with three Philosophy-branded gift bags.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

I went along to the Philosophy headquarters recently to see Corinne who guests the range at QVC. She mentioned how it’s a perfect collection for both sexes as loads of men love Pure Grace.<\/p>\n

You can also make it work as three or six wonderful gifts depending on how you break it up, but be sure to keep some for yourself!<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

She is so excited to bring you the collection so do make sure that you join her, Ali and I for the launch on Thursday night and then during Friday.<\/p>\n

Before that, this Wednesday at 2pm I have a full hour with wonderful Rylan Neal-Clarke and his luxury home fragrance brand Luxenoa. \u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

This will be a wonderful show to offer you some suggestions on how to fragrance your home over the holiday season, but also to inspire you with luxurious gifts for those you love.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

I tried the range out for the first time this week, and I was really impressed with the sublime quality of the fragrance and the beautiful clean burn of the wax and flame. It’s very much a luxury range. I haven\u2019t done a show with Rylan since the launch so I am very excited!<\/p>\n

Finally, as you know I am a bit of an ambassador for Joules Menswear<\/a> at QVC, I really like the range. Here are a couple pictures of me in a piece I think particular apt for all this wet weather we\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

I wore it recently on a long walk around the perimeter of Crystal Palace park. I really wanted some fresh air but the weather was so damp, and it kept me warm and dry – brilliant!<\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s if for the moment. Thanks for reading my blog and let me know how you are doing, and as always, sending big hugs.<\/p>\n
