    Get Summer Holiday Ready with Veet | QueenBeady

    As the days keep ticking by, I’m slowly marking an ”X” on each day. I know I shouldn’t wish my days away but at the moment there is only one thing on my mind and that my friends is a trip to Mexico in 45 days. AS I’m dreaming of cocktails and lounging around on a beautiful white, sandy beach with nothing but the waves to keep my ears company I know I have some major prepping to do. Not only am I working out 2-3 times a week to tone up that dreaded tummy of mine – I’m also needing to keep in tact my hairy legs. Yes you heard me. I have a really hairy body. I actually kind of wear it as a badge of honour now & when the discussion arises of ”how much hair we had as a child?” I’m always first to raise my hand in the air and proudly say ”I looked like a monkey when I was born.” Here there’s even proof; You have to admit it’s a colossal amount of hair, am I right?

    An Open Letter to Bloggers; Man Up & Go Get It | QueenBeady

    Life seems to be passing me by at a rapid rate at the moment. Blink and you miss everything. My life consists of a Monday to Friday job in an office, so you’d think that time would go slower than it does, but with a busy calendar it’s almost like my feet are moving without me even realising. I’m so grateful for the wonderful opportunities that my blog is seemingly bestowing me with at the moment. It’s exciting & exhilarating, I’ve finally had a moment in my ”blogging career” where I’ve thought ”I’ve had a special blogging moment” and that’s been a few times recently. That has taken FIVE WHOLE YEARS (remember this throughout the post). This is not a brag post and it annoys me to the very core that I should have to semi-advise/apologise for feeling good about something. Surely we should be championing each others achievements?

    This is an open letter to all you Bloggers out there.

    I’m a petite girl in height, but what I lack in centimetres there I certainly make up for them round the hips. I find it tremendously difficult to dress for my shape, big bust, tiny waist and wide hips, plus my bodies decision to be vertically challenged – where is my middle ground? Slowly, but surely I’m starting to realise what looks good on my body. I need to try and steer clear of overly baggy outfits that don’t drown me. I know stripes work well with my physique too but there’s only so much Breton that can be in one girls life! With it now being summer it’s also time to inject some colour in to my life too…

  • Yorkshire Bloggers Meet at Bundobust, Leeds | QueenBeady

    Yorkshire Bloggers Meet at Bundobust, Leeds | QueenBeady

    Bundobust Leeds 4

    If there is one thing that is on my mind constantly (no, not that you dirty buggars!) it’s food. Food is pretty much all I think about. After all, it is what keeps you alive & kicking. So when the #YorkshireBloggers meet was taking shape for the May meet by the lovely Fran at A Style Creative and the words food were involved. I was allll over it like a rash. I’m a girl who likes her meat (okay, I will try stop with the innuendo’s here, but you stop being naughty pasty’s too!) so I was extremely sceptical over the suggested venue, Bundobust Leeds. It’s a vegetarian spot that caters its guests with foreign curries and Indian style market food along with delicious and unique craft beers too. When looking at the menu though, I needn’t have worried!

    365 Days of Marriage | QueenBeady

    13.10pm. I know the time specifically because only 5 minutes before our good friend and one of our ushers was trying to force a pint of Stella down my neck before we set off in the wedding car. I can’t say that this was my finest moment and not quite how I had expected it to all start. This post marks exactly 365 days of marriage & since I walked up the aisle to meet my future Husband. Funnily enough days before my heart was racing in the same spot whilst we did a rehearsal of the wedding. Strangely my heart wasn’t pumping in quite the same, scary way. It felt natural. The last 2 years of planning had been a momentous affair. From the venue, to the food, to the bridesmaid dresses. Everything was from scratch so everything took meticulous planning to make sure everything ran smoothly. Suffice to say, it did. Without a hiccup. I was ready to finally do it & I had been since the 26th October 2012 (the day he proposed.)
