Hi! My name is Ashley Nadon, and after over five years at L'Occitane, I’m a super-fan of this incredible brand. A little bit about me… I married my high-school sweetheart a couple years ago--we met when I was just 14, saw sparks fly years later at the very end of high-school, and finally tied the knot 10 years later while living in NYC. Now we have recently moved back to our hometown of Houston, Texas, and have our first baby on the way, a girl… December, get here already! Well actually, our second baby, since we have our precious little Cocker Spaniel, Tex.

And L'Occitane is baby #3! I have done everything from work with magazines and beauty editors to share the news of L'Occitane to developing products for QVC. I’m thrilled now to be able to present L'Occitane to you at QVC!

Now finally, let’s talk TSV®! We started brainstorming for the 2014 TSV with the L'Occitane and QVC teams a year ago, and we all agreed that (1) we wanted your favorite products included, like Shea Hand Cream infused with shea butter, Shea Body Lotion and Almond Shower Oil; (2) we wanted to bring you something BRAND NEW--the Ultra Soft Body Cream formula will leave you wondering how there could be a cream so moisturizing and soft yet light, and the delicious scents--don’t even get me started; and (3) bring in one of your favorite items from the past couple of seasons, the Bonne Mere Soaps. To wrap it all up (pun intended), we know you love flexibility, so we boxed the collection in four separate boxes so that you can gift all together, split into separate gifts, and even keep some goodies for yourself. Fair warning: you may get your goodies home with every intention of gifting and yet… there they are… staying home with you! It’s OK, enjoy!

What I love so much about L'Occitane at the end of the day is the dedication to sourcing the highest quality ingredients and creating luxurious products that are just a pleasure to use. I’m so proud of how closely we work with all of our suppliers to ensure this quality and complete traceability.

If you ever have the chance to visit Provence, in the south of France, you would see that there is a very special way of living “the good life”, sometimes called the art-de-vivre. It’s about taking the time to enjoy the little pleasures in life and creating daily happy moments. We can’t all unwind each evening on our villa terrace in Provence, but go ahead, wherever you are, have that glass of rosé and a slice of cake, breathe in the beauty of nature and let your skin indulge in some buttery shea-goodness!

The L’Occitane team and I are logged in all day, so please post questions below that we can answer for you about the TSV or L’Occitane in general!
