    GETTING SOME #GRAINSPIRATION* | QUEENBEADY

    IMG_6445

    Hands up if you love nothing more than a bacon sandwich for breakfast? I know I’m guilty of it. I’m always looking for healthier ways to start the day (ahem, belgian hot chocolates do not count just because they are “liquid”) So when Good Grain wanted to challenge me to a 5 ways, 5 days challenge of creating different breakfasts with their puffed rice & wheat cereals I was more than up for the #Grainspiration challenge. Using some of their own ideas and incorporating some of mine, my week long challenge was about to begin…

    OH BOY. Have I been living life in the fast lane recently? Life shows no signs of slowing down and I wrote about how I was feeling here. Luckily, I have a weekend away in Rome to look forward to this week, but not before a whistle stop tour down to London with work. A couple of weeks ago we headed to Darwin Escape’s own holiday resort in Keswick which gave me a couple of days to recharge my batteries in a different environment. But, I totally got the “Smonday feels” on the Sunday as I had a delightful wake up call of 4am on the Monday morning. So, to make the most of our weekend break to we took a nice, leisurely stroll in to Keswick town centre, complete with the lushest brunch you could imagine. (more…)

    You may have realised (although, I’d be a total ass to assume you had, so maybe you haven’t) that this blog has fallen by the way side (yet again.) It’s not for the want of trying to give it the time it truly deserves but it’s the fitting it in that’s becoming the chore. When life takes over, I generally find it so hard to juggle everything. Work, personal and social time, my blogging and all the social media that comes with it, the micro blogging on Instagram, walking my dog, exercising, feeding myself. All things (and more!) that I so desperately want to fit in to each day. But, I need more than 24 hours in a day to do it all. And feel human after it all.

    Without trying to assume, this post is probably reaching out to a demographic that will be spending their hard earned cash on a female counterpart this Valentines Day. The day that has been called out for being just another “consumerism day” that retailers have added to our calendar over the years to bridge that gap between both Christmas and Easter and get some extra bank rolling in. But, as much as you love to hate it, it is here to stay. It’s not something that’s going to change so if you are really struggling to decide on something to give to a loved one, this handy last minute guide might just help!

    So, it’s been three weeks since I first popped my spanking, brand new duvet on my bed from Snuggledown. It’s safe to say, it’s the most luxurious duvet we have ever owned and it has without a doubt encouraged us to take a leap of faith and purchase more “luxury” products off the back of it. We received the 10.5 tog duvet to test out whether our sleep improved based on the science behind it’s design.
