    MICROBARBOX GIVEAWAY | QUEENBEADY

    Cocktails with Microbar Box

    It became apparent the other night, under very clear circumstances, I am terrible at adulting. I mean, really terrible. You’d think at the age of nearly 27 I would have really mastered the art of it, but somehow, I just don’t. I can’t even get a packet cake mix right (much to my Husbands dismay on his 28th birthday this week.) However, there is one thing I can do, and that is drink and respect the art of a cocktail. I can appreciate the taste of gin and how vodka makes me a little tiddly (guys, I feel it is necessary to add a disclaimer: I do not advocate drinking in excess and you should drink responsibly! Which is probably what I should have told myself on Saturday night.) The lovely guys at Micro Bar Box sent across one of their subscriptions boxes across for my husbands birthday to enjoy with our friends for our celebrations.

    Oh Oslo, you are a town that is so fresh from anything we have seen before. So clean, safe and ever so cool. It’s safe to say that I fell completely head over heels in love with the Norwegian City of Oslo. It’s two weeks since we were there and I’m still walking around in that “holiday bliss” phase (which I’m sure will disappear soon!) After booking some very reasonable flights from Manchester and a rather chic hotel for Mr C’s Christmas present, I have been counting down the days since the 25th December for this trip. I’m hoping I can share with you some of the fun we had (go watch the vlog too!), along with places to see and things to do during our weekend in Oslo, and maybe you might just want to give this little corner of the world a visit!

    So I wrote a post about where Summer had got to? Then within an hour of the post going live we were subject to temperatures way past 20 degrees Celsius. I now know that all I need to do to win the lottery is write a blog post about “WHERE ALL MA MONEY AT?” (I joke, of course!) so I was a little bit worried to write a post only days later entitled “The sun has got his hat on” that he might go back on his jollies and take his sunshine elsewhere and leave us Brits with the rain, again. I guess I’m going to have to take a risk and we will just have to wait and see, won’t we?

    First of all, whatdafuqiswiththisweather? I’m pretty sure everyone has turned to someone these last few weeks and asked the same question. I for one am totally not digging this weather. AT ALL. We jetted off to Oslo last weekend and whilst the last day the sun started to shine (yes, and all the while we wore all of our layers and carried a rucksack each. Thank you hand luggage Gods. Not.) the rest of the weekend was pretty drizzly. Then, we came back home and temperatures dip below what they were on Christmas day. Oh yes, you read that right and once again for those in the back. IT WAS COLDER THAN CHRISTMAS DAY.

    Come with me to Oslo Vlog | QueenBeady

    You know when I kinda went bat-shit cray cray on Snapchat because my video editing was not going quite according to plan? Well, this is the fruits of my labour (read: blood, sweat & tears!) I was going to write my Oslo posts first but then I thought, “to hell with it!” The vlog doesn’t give too much away, but you can kinda, most definitely see just how pretty the place was through the eyes of my camera lens. Whilst I didn’t get chance to film everything I hope you enjoy the snippets that I did shoot. Enjoy.
