Ever wonder who makes QVC hosts’ and models’ make-up look so good on air and in print? Meet Adrienne, a make-up artist who has worked on everything at QVC over the last 15 years including commercials, InsideQ magazine, the program guides, and the 2013 Spring Look Book. Most recently, Adrienne worked with host Sandra Bennett for the March InsideQ cover and feature story photo shoots.
“It’s so much fun,” Adrienne told me when we met at QVC to chat. “My business card says. ‘I love what I do and it shows in my work.’ That has b... Continue Reading Started by InsideQ Editor in Beauty Banter, Fashion Talk 1362088199.457Hi there,
For this blog post, I have turned the reins over to one of our InsideQ staff writers, Mia Rodriguez-Lopez. Mia interviewed Sandra at her home for the February InsideQ story, and here she shares her impressions and behind-the-scenes tidbits from the photo shoot and interview. Take it away, Mia!

It was a cold and rainy Monday morning when my adventure began. Although, instead of heading straight to QVC Studio Park, I was taking a detour to Sandra Bennett’s home outside of West Chester, Pennsylvania, with our photo team to shoot the February InsideQ cover.&...

In one of my recent blogs, I mentioned a white chocolate bread pudding that I make for Christmas Day. Some of you asked me to share it, so here it is. The crowning touch is the white chocolate sauce, which adds to the decadence (I use Ghirardelli chocolate). I bake and serve the pudding in either a Temp-tations® two-quart square baker or Rachael Ray’s Bubble & Brown Ramekins.
I prepare both the pudding and sauce earlier in the day. Then, when the turkey comes out of the oven, I pop the pudding in to warm it up and I reheat the sauce on the stove. You can ...

You can never have too many cookbooks, and believe me, I have a lot.
Everything from vintage 1940s and 1950s to Rachael Ray’s latest My Year in Meals (F11004). That’s why I was so excited about David Venable’s new cookbook In the Kitchen with David: Comfort Foods That Take You Home (F09693), inspired by his love of comfort foods. I had the chance to sit down with David in the Host Lounge at Studio Park where he shared some of the highlights from his whirlwind book tour.
The Rachael Ray Show, October 12
“Rachael and I have been friends for a long time, ... Continue Reading Last Reply by venox6625 1352766118.62 | Started by InsideQ Editor in Beauty Banter, Fashion Talk, Q NewsHi there,

I’ll be honest: when I was asked to write a blog about Dennis Basso’s new fragrance, I was a little nervous, and not only because I would be interviewing a fashion mogul. How do you write about a scent? Isn’t there only so... Continue Reading Last Reply by barbieqvc 1355185977.283 | Started by InsideQ Editor in Fashion Talk, All About AccessoriesHi there,

My Wednesday started out as they all do: Glare at alarm clock with one eye still shut, make coffee, get into work, check email. But by 10:30 in the morning, I was shopping in the QVC Studio Store with host Amy Stran of Inspired Style (Fridays at 1 ...

Inspired by David Venable’s love of comfort foods and his new cook book In the Kitchen with David: Comfort Foods That Take You Home, I decided to share one of my favorite comfort foods with you: spaghetti and meatballs.
I make this year round, but when I prepare it in the fall and winter, it reminds me of when I was young and my mother made it. The closed kitchen windows would steam up as she boiled the pasta, and I would draw pictures in the condensation. Then, while the sauce was simmering on the stove and Mom wasn’t looking, I’d snitch a piece of sandwich bread...

In a recent interview with Lisa Robertson for the November InsideQ, I found out that we share a love—no, obsession—for (of all things) birthday cake! “When I’m treating myself,” Lisa said, “I want really good, really moist basic birthday cake with buttercream frosting. I probably have cake once every two months, but if my thighs weren’t an issue, I’d live on it.” A girl after my own heart!
My love affair with this confection started as a child with the first bakery birthday cake I ever tasted, and has since grown to include birt... Continue Reading Last Reply by HappyGranny 1344166635.16 | Started by InsideQ Editor in Q NewsHi there,
If you’re one of the many InsideQ members who have been asking what Program Host Amy Stran is wearing on the July InsideQ cover, you can find her Fern Mallis necklace and GF by Geren Ford dress right here. In this issue, Amy talks all about her new show, Inspired Style, which premieres on QVC Friday, August 3 at 10pm ET.
The premise of this show is that you, the QVC viewers, are Amy’s co-hosts and she is looking for you to share your style inspirations with her. “We’re going to help each other,” says Amy. “I want everyone watching to be my co-hos...

To say that my grandmother Peg was a character is putting it mildly. Of her mother, my mom likes to say that she “marched to the beat of a different drummer.” Affectionately called “Grammy” or “Gram” by her three grandchildren, Margaret “Peg” Cameron (whom I named my son, Cameron, after) was always very independent. She owned a farm house converted into two large two-story apartments in Franklin, Massachusetts. She lived in one with her parents and my mother and rented the other. After my mother married and my two sisters and I were bo... Continue Reading
