    When the opportunity arises to try out a new menu at a local restaurant it’s very hard for me to say no. I mean come on guys, food. ALL THE FOOD. As a keen bean I’m always intrigued to see what different eateries have to offer. The older I get, the more I enjoy the slightly finer things in life (but hey, that doesn’t mean I’m not adverse to boshing a foot-long steak & cheese subbers every once in a while. Ya with me?) So, when the invitation to see what the Firelake Restaurant at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Leeds dropped in, I was pretty interested. After I did a little research online, it seemed that this was much further away from being “any old hotel restaurant.”

    For those of you who follow me on Twitter & Instagram, you will know I’ve been spending many a night recently sleeping on the sofa because of this god awful “hacking cough” that is doing the rounds and sadly it won’t F off. Sleeping in our bed is just not ideal because one, I keep waking up Mr C (oops) and two, I’m not very comfortable. I wrote a post about getting a good nights sleep a few weeks back, which you can read here and whilst I really thought of some great ways to get to sleep I never really thought or took in to consideration  how much your duvets and pillows could possibly enhance your sleeping experience.

    You might think, “well, that’s a pretty standard word to use for my word of the year.” And you’re all groaning “Yes Bee, you like to travel and explore. We get it. Just shut up now.” Well, to me it way more than just that, travel. Of course, the word explore does mean a lot of adventure. I want my days off to be filled with exciting trips around the UK and my annual leave to be filled with dreamy destinations, who doesn’t? But for me, the word explore can mean so much more than what first meets the eye.

    AM I ADULTING #3 | QUEENBEADY

    (Firstly, oops. This post was meant to be posted last week to meet my “weekly deadline” – but hey, I was never good at sticking those anyway. So enjoy.)

    Last night I caved (FYI this was a week today.) I had caved in after 12 hours of sheer pain where I keeled over every time I moved a muscle. My period pains had just go too much. #LiveTweetYourPeriod and all that shit. I decided in a moments hurry that I needed a bath and an aspirin quick sharp (how adulty does that sound?) So, I ran this bath with all my radox goodies and sank in to a warm tub that didn’t scold me (I’d finally mastered the right bath water temperature. Adulting never looked so good, right?)

    If I’m sat upright on a sofa, watching TV, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will fall asleep at the most ridiculous times of day. And I can also put a huge wager on the fact that if I get in to bed to go to sleep at night, I will lay they for quite some time, tossing and turning until I manage to actually fall asleep. It’s what we call  on this day and age, “sods law.” My life pretty much consists of ironic things like this each day. LOL for me.
