Hello,<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019re having a good week and managing to stay safe, well and occupied.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe the month of July is upon us! As I write this blog it doesn\u2019t feel too summery right now. Overcast weather and very windy here. I\u2019ve just cut the grass – as I think rain is looming. I had to prep the garden<\/a> first by moving a dozen or so tennis balls, a few socks and a slipper… I wonder who was guilty of putting them there!? I can\u2019t imagine!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m often asked what my favourite QVC products are. There are so many. I think it\u2019s fair to say I love presenting jewellery<\/a> above everything and have a particular passion for our Diamonique<\/a> range. I have designed another piece which is currently with the design team and, fingers crossed, will be on air later this year.<\/p>\n

So, a few of my favourite things!<\/p>\n

Well, I was recently introduced to the Elemis Pro-Collagen Energising Marine Cleanser. This is simply divine… and the fragrance… WOW! I love this… you can find out more right here<\/a>. It\u2019s had fantastic reviews with 42\/52 being 5 stars.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Now, another favourite (and this crops up regularly in my blog) is Gower Cottage Brownies<\/a>. I struggle to find the words to describe how good these are. The last time I bought these was as a gift. Needless to say, they went down very, very well!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I mentioned a few blogs back how I ordered for my mum from the Margaret Dabbs<\/a> range the Foot Hygiene Cream<\/a>. 116\/134 reviews are 5 stars. It\u2019s become a firm favourite of Mum\u2019s.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Lola Rose London<\/a> is a highly sought after and beautiful range. As well a stunning jewellery Nikki creates other, very sought after, pieces for the collection too. I\u2019ve had my eye on the Lola Rose Jewellery Box<\/a> for some time, and one of my favourite options is still available, the Lapis Blue print. 35\/39 reviews are 5 stars.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Finally, many of us know and love Silentnight<\/a>. They\u2019ve been around for many, many decades and are one of the most trusted bed brands in the UK. Well, now, they\u2019ve provided us with the very inviting Silentnight Airmax pet bed<\/a>! Fabulous! My Cairns would love this. Plus, this is somewhere for them to hide socks, no doubt, as well!<\/p>\n

Everything of course is backed by our Money Back Guarantee!<\/p>\n

Take care, stay safe, and I\u2019ll see you soon.<\/p>\n
