    The art of slow living. A hashtag on instagram that has garnered hundreds of thousands of photos linked to it. It is something we all seem to talk about on social media but is it something we all really practice? This weekend was the first weekend in a long time where I have had zero plans. To me, it was a blissful thought. There was no frantic rushing around trying to make plans and fill my diary with things to do. Instead, I filled my time “on a whim.” It was spent around the house and pottering around. What might sound mundane to some, it was actually something I needed for my soul. I finally got to practice #theartofslowliving for realsies.

    I am enough to feel like I belong.

    I am enough to feel like I’m strong enough to conquer every single day put in front of me.

    I am enough to feel a million dollars when I slip on that perfect dress.

    I am enough to allow myself to eat and drink what I please without fear of putting on a few lbs.

    I am enough even if I do put those extra lbs on.

    I am enough regardless of what I look like.

    I am enough even if I don’t dress like that girl on Instagram.

    I am enough even if you don’t like me.

    I am enough to make life decisions without fear of implication.

    I am enough to speak with anyone who feels that I don’t deserve their time.

    I am enough even if I don’t have as many followers as you.

    I am enough even though I can only afford last season Mulberry and not this years.

    I am enough. Full stop.

  • AIN’T NO PARTY LIKE A NORTHERN BLOC ICE CREAM PARTY | QUEENBEADY

    AIN’T NO PARTY LIKE A NORTHERN BLOC ICE CREAM PARTY | QUEENBEADY

    ice cream waffles northern bloc

    Yep, I know it’s reminiscent of a certain S Club 7 song but it had to be done. When life throws you Northern Bloc Ice Cream be sure to make crazy, incredibly, insta-worthy deserts. Even if it is just for the ‘gram. But really, this wasn’t just for the feed, this was in aid of finding something scrummy to fill our tummies one night when we wanted something sweet to eat. So, an incredible stack of waffles plus strawberry meringue ice cream and fruit was made and it was devoured in about 60 seconds flat when Mr C & I got our forks in to them.

    HOW TO FEEL INSPIRED ABOUT TRAVEL WHEN YOU ARE FEELING UNINSPIRED* | QUEENBEADY

    Processed with VSCO with hb2 preset

    I’ve written posts in the past about how you can help decide where you should go on holiday next & I’ve also wrote countless posts about the destinations I’ve travelled to (most recently with Thomson Holidays to Ibiza)all of which I’m sure are very useful to holiday makers and those who travel (or at least I hope!) and I’m always still looking for inspiration for my next holiday. Reading other blogger’s reviews to flicking through endless holiday brochures has given me plenty of food for thought on many occasions when I’m feeling at a loss. And even after taking all my advice I’m now stuck in a rut. I don’t know exactly where I want to go next?

    I am here for all the independent women. Praise the lord for all the strong, sassy, wonderful, kind women in my life that I know. But, I’ve been thinking about something recently. In fact, it’s something that plays on my mind, a lot. To me, feminism is so many things. But most importantly it’s the freedom of choice that makes me want to celebrate being a Feminist. Even in 2K17 I find myself interrupting men on a regular basis, reminding them that what they have said is pretty misogynist – trying to educate some can be pretty hard going but those are the first steps.
