  • WHEN DID I BECOME SO CYNICAL | QUEENBEADY

    WHEN DID I BECOME SO CYNICAL | QUEENBEADY

    When did I become so cynical? Is it my age? Is there something wrong with me? Is it because I’ve encountered too many pricks for one lifetime? (Ps. Dontcha just love the expressive cacti photo to work alongside this intro?)

    Truth be told, I’ve always had a little guard up. I never expect too much of people, (this probably stems back to my absent sperm-donor of a father that waltzed in and out of my early teen years – thanks, ya big ol’ twat!) but really, I’ve almost started to expect the worst in everything. Be it in a persons actions or behaviour or just general day to day life. It’s the most bizarre thing. “I’m going to get the sack!” or “Why did so & so do what they did, it’s so inconsiderate?” are just a few examples over the last few weeks my brain has decided throw at me.

    October is a magical month I feel. You get the joy from the cosiness without it being dark when you leave and return from work which is a wonder in itself. I need to enjoy what this month brings before we are plunged in to darkness with the winter months. Oh & did I mention I’m an October baby? Just one more reason to love this beautiful month of the year. There’s so many reasons to love October.

    Oh gosh, it’s been well over two months since the Jaywing PR Bloggers Brunch. Back in July, we were invited to a super yummy brunch and a talk with some experts on SEO, working with Brands and how to make your blog a success. The latter being presented by Hannah Gale, you know, one of the top Blogging sensations in the UK right now. Sat back, sipping quite a few proseccos and stuffing myself till I felt morbidly obese with the pancakes I realised that there are so many things I can be doing as a Blogger to be / get better at my hobby.

    I’m one of those people that groans a little bit when Autumn / Winter comes around. I know, crucify me now. I just hate the fact that we are soon going to be plunged in to darkness. You know the score, waking up and going to work in the dark, oh and then coming back home in the pitch blackness of night. I’m a girl that needs my sunshine & vitamin D (or whatever it is that the sun gives you.) However, I can’t deny that I do love the Autumn wardrobes, the snuggly days on the sofa with hot cocoa watching endless Netflix series without fear of feeling like you should really get outside and enjoy the weather, oh and did I mention I love fireworks?

    I mentioned in a previous post about feeling content that it’s important to declutter your life. So, on a sunny Sunday this weekend I decided now was the time to take my own advice. I’ve been run down lately, works hectic and I’ve been slowly letting my body give up on me in the run up to our holiday that things like my blog and keeping the house in order has fallen by the wayside. It doesn’t help that both Mr C & I are terribly untidy, our house can quickly become to look like a car boot / jumble sale without us even realising.
