  • TRAVEL ROUND UP 2016 | QUEENBEADY

    TRAVEL ROUND UP 2016 | QUEENBEADY

    img_2554

    2016 has been filled with some of the most exciting travel adventures I could have dreamt possible. We have been lucky enough to travel abroad four times this year, which for two people who only get 20 days annual leave a year, is pretty good going. Having been in the travel industry (before moving on to pastures new) for eight years, travelling and heading on holiday has always been a top priority for me. It seems selfish to some to go away that many times a year but I want to explore the world bit by bit because I am madly, deeply in love with learning about the world whilst getting a break from every day life. Everyone has their vices, right? Mine just happens to be travel!

    I look at my most recent blog shoots and think, “bloody hell, these are good.” It sounds so terribly ostentatious of me, but I’m genuinely 100% happy with the direction my blog is taking. I work with two very talented photographers (hey, who else but Matt wouldn’t mind heading down a stinky alley way and tunnel to take some grimy shots like this?) who share a similar vision of what I want my blog and content to be all about. I’m done with the white backgrounds and stark bright photos, because life can’t always be that shiny canvas that I see everyday, and for me it’s just not possible. I bow down to those who can emulate that every single day but for me, it would be too tiring.

    If I’m not browsing Instagram, you can bet your bottom dollar that I’m on the ASOS app. There is nothing more appealing than free next day delivery all for the small sum of £9.95 with lots of brands under one roof. There’s so many dresses I am coveting at the moment just in time for party season, here’s a little rundown of all the floaty dresses, embellished tops and more to feast your eyes on for your next party! And if you are running a little bit late on getting your black tie outfit sorted, this might just help.

    AM I ADULTING #2 | QUEENBEADY

    Okay, the answer to the above question would be a resounding no after Saturday night. When you are simultaneously throwing up next to your husband, one in the sink, one in the loo; you start to re-assess, is it really worth drinking? Since August we have had plans pretty much every single weekend and they always involve alcohol. I am tired. Tired of drinking in excess. It’s nothing to be proud of and I have really taken a step back and decided that I’m going to try and be t-total (or more like, limit myself to 1 or 2 drinks.) As I laid around on Sunday morning feeling sorry for myself, running to the toilet every five minutes to throw up last nights stagioni pizza (olives, prawns, things that generally do not want to agree with you at the best of times) I sat there and questioned…

    “TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY, FA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA”

    It’s also a time of year where you have friends and family visiting, everything is always very chaotic. Whilst I love it, your pet might not. My little doggy loves to be fussed but too many people really confuse her and she becomes “whappy dog” an affectionate term for when she has a mad half hour, running backwards and forwards, getting in the way and being a loud and (at some times) obnoxious dog. It’s not her fault, far from it, but I always have to be mindful that not everyone loves dogs or animals quite as much as I do. The RSPCA has put together some handy hints & tips to keep your pets safe over the festive season. Some I found very useful for the festive period.
