We live for holidays. If I had to choose one thing to spend my hard earned money on it would be holidays (after food/water/pink Nike trainers….) So back in March we spent a blissful (blissful ish, there were a couple of trantrums) 8 days at Club Med in La...
Hello! And welcome to a blog post all about our new obsession, QVC. Well it’s not so much a new obsession, as in reality we’ve both been shopping from it for years, and Sam was a guest presenter on it with a favourite beauty brand, Liz Earle, around 2...
