As many of you may or may not know today is Gem Day at QVC! We have phenomenal deals on some gorgeous designer gemstone pieces that I can't get enough of! I wanted to spend this special event day not only drooling over some of our most gorgeous pieces, but also highlighting a very special gem of our own here at QVC. 


If you keep up on my Facebook page you'll see that recently I've been doing a lot of walking with one of my oldest friends and fellow program hosts, Nancy Hornback. Nancy and I have known each other for fourteen years now and worked together before the two of us even ended up at QVC.


As a Breast Cancer survivor, Nancy decided that this would be year she would take part in the 3 day- 60 Mile Susan G. Komen walk for Breast Cancer. Two the of us have been meeting up (when our schedules allow) to walk, talk, and of course get Nancy trained for the big event! I am more than honored to be part of her journey in prepping for this year's 3-day walk. I've got to tell you, as a woman that loves a good work out, she's really been pushing me!! We've been walking many miles per day, but time flies when you're in great company! 








Not only is Nancy a strong, driven, and motivated individual, she also brings a little something special to our QVC host team. Nancy is currently making her way through the graduate program at the Gemological Institute of America.





So between all of the strange hours of working, the training for her 3-day walk, studying to complete her Gemologist Certification, she still manages to be loyal friend and wonderful Mother. 




Cheers to Nancy as she is not only an expert in gems, but a gem herself!
