Today’s Special Value<\/a> launching on air tonight at 9 p.m., but it has already been selling so well on presell, I\u2019m not sure how far into the day it will last \u2013 hopefully for my 11 a.m. show!<\/p>\nMy hair was virtually dry but dampened with a heat protection spray and my technique was to hold the segment of hair around the attachment until you felt the \u2018grab\u2019 before moving it towards my head, no wrist twisting required. By the way, if you noticed me glancing up at the clock in the video, it\u2019s because I was live on air at 3 p.m. \u2013 note the time on the clock, I really am a last-minute Lulu, something which drives my husband, Chris, crazy!<\/p>\n
Take tonight for example; I finish on air at 7 p.m. and my Facebook Live short story reading starts at 8 p.m. \u2013 we live a thirty\/thirty-five-minute drive from the QVC studios and I will need a bite of dinner before I start. I\u2019ll probably sit down in front of the camera at about a minute to eight! Tonight, I will be reading the first part of a short story I wrote about three years ago called, Time for a Short Story! Can I just promise you that the story is better than the title\u2026 I\u2019ve always regretted not calling it \u2018The Primrose Pantry.\u2019 Actually, I\u2019m thinking of removing it from sale as a short story and converting it into a longer book with more background on the three main characters \u2013 I think it would make a lovely story, loosely based on my own mum, Josephine.<\/p>\n \n
Speaking of who, Mum is currently reading Why She Died, as is my mum-in-law, Audrey, and one of my nieces, Becky, who texted me this morning to say it is her favourite book of mine so far. My son, Dan, and his girlfriend, Katie, read it in tandem and have both finished it now \u2013 I\u2019m relieved to say that neither of them guessed \u2018who did it\u2019. It\u2019s wonderful to have such a supportive family when it comes to my writing, but there have also been twenty-eight reviews in the first week, all but two of which are four or five stars, for which I am very grateful.<\/p>\n
Speaking of being grateful, thanks so much for all your contributions to our Giving Back Initiative. With your help, QVC have been able to raise \u00a3187,457 to donate to the National Emergency Trust to help people who are really struggling in these difficult times \u2013 again, thanks for your generosity. And I also wanted to mention Abi Cleeve (Ultrasun<\/a> and Skinsense<\/a>) who combined with QVC to put together 10,000 care packs to be given to hospital staff in the areas where QVC operates \u2013 great effort, Abi.<\/p>\n \nWell, that\u2019s it for now \u2013 when I write my blog next week, I will be officially a year older and such a year of momentous things to look back on. See you later for Fashion on Friday, Cuddl Duds<\/a> at 5 p.m. and Clarks<\/a> shoes at 6 p.m. and I\u2019m with you all this weekend, including the Gatineau<\/a> Today’s Special Value on Sunday morning at 11 a.m.<\/p>\nLet\u2019s hope the sun returns and lockdown continues to ease safely, \nMuch love, \nJulia x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Later in today\u2019s blog, I\u2019ll be sharing a video I shot yesterday using the Dyson Airwrap for the very first time, but I thought I would start by thanking those of you who attended my \u2018virtual\u2019 book launch party on my JuliaRobertsTV Facebook page last Friday.
