    AM I ADULTING #2 | QUEENBEADY

    Okay, the answer to the above question would be a resounding no after Saturday night. When you are simultaneously throwing up next to your husband, one in the sink, one in the loo; you start to re-assess, is it really worth drinking? Since August we have had plans pretty much every single weekend and they always involve alcohol. I am tired. Tired of drinking in excess. It’s nothing to be proud of and I have really taken a step back and decided that I’m going to try and be t-total (or more like, limit myself to 1 or 2 drinks.) As I laid around on Sunday morning feeling sorry for myself, running to the toilet every five minutes to throw up last nights stagioni pizza (olives, prawns, things that generally do not want to agree with you at the best of times) I sat there and questioned…

    “WHY THE FUCK DO I DO THIS?”

    It’s also a time of year where you have friends and family visiting, everything is always very chaotic. Whilst I love it, your pet might not. My little doggy loves to be fussed but too many people really confuse her and she becomes “whappy dog” an affectionate term for when she has a mad half hour, running backwards and forwards, getting in the way and being a loud and (at some times) obnoxious dog. It’s not her fault, far from it, but I always have to be mindful that not everyone loves dogs or animals quite as much as I do. The RSPCA has put together some handy hints & tips to keep your pets safe over the festive season. Some I found very useful for the festive period.

    Imagine all your wildest, childhood dreams mixed with the finest food you would possibly ever taste. Stop. You’ve just imagined the La Rotonde at The Negresco Hotel, Nice. This little slice of wonder is situated on Nice’s seafront promenade with gorgeous views out to sea. One of two restaurants at the Negresco Hotel (which I might add does divine cocktails and definitely worth a splurge one night to experience the place) the La Rotonde is set out like a fairground carousel, complete even with carousel horses. Did I just enter Disneyland on the South of France?

    I start these things you know, with the hashtag, #1. I never get further than the first one. But there’s something about this idea that just stuck with me. Am I adulting? I question this pretty much every day of my life so of course, there should “theoretically” be plenty to talk about each week. It’s also a little bit more anecdotal, a little glimpse in to how my brain works and all the crazy crap that runs through it on a daily basis. (Read: My brain is ridiculous and I need someone else to listen to the bat shit cray cray stuff it thinks up.)

    I turned 27 about 3 weeks ago (maybe a little more when this post goes live) and I never really acknowledged it. That being because I was on a sales training course in London and spent 2 hours of my life on a train back. We celebrated with a mucky macca’s in on a motorway service station with the dimmed lights on. I’m so rock & roll. I let it pass by really without a thought. But now as time is going on and I’m now royally in my “late twenties” I can’t help but reflect on what I have achieved and what I want from life.
