I had been using the products for years, and in my book, Bobbi was (is!) IT. I've had the opportunity and pleasure to meet a lot of famous people in my years at QVC, but Bobbi is at the top of my list. I so admire how she balances work and family, her dedication to helping women, her no nonsense approach to beauty and her laid-back style. Not to mention her savvy smarts as a business woman and her devotion to clean and healthy living. She is a star...and I have really en...

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been selling my products on QVC for over 15 years. I can still remember my 1st time on air like it was yesterday & I was TERRIFIED!

One of the most special times of the year for me is right now…. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years…. All wonderful opportunities to stop and be grateful for what we have, how far we have come in the last year and make all our grand plans for the coming one.

It just wouldn’t be the holidays without being with the people that mean the world to me - and the food and drink that has become so much a part of our cherished memories.
