    When mid September comes round you can normally kiss goodbye to festival season. The likes of Glastonbury, Leeds Festival and V Fest are all distant memories of this years coup of music fun. So thank God, for OnRoundhay! Leeds latest festival offers a stellar line up, food to keep everyone’s tums happy and complete with a dedicated children’s area making it a fun filled day for all the family. How cute? And because of the sudden heatwave it gave me a great opportunity to wear this fab dress from Trendeo too, the ultimate festival dress.

  • PREPPING FOR A LONG HAUL FLIGHT | QUEENBEADY

    PREPPING FOR A LONG HAUL FLIGHT | QUEENBEADY

    I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am flying to the Caribbean again this weekend. Not because it’s a humble brag but because I am so unbelievably ready for a week away to rejuvenate. I do not want to think of targets, deadlines or anything else for that matter except what cocktails I should be drinking from the extensive menu at the hotel. It’s a long flight, between 9-10 hours and whilst we have the luxury of travelling on the Dreamliner again, like we did to Mexico, you can never be too over-prepared for a long haul flight. I wanted to share a quick, handy guide of how you can get ready for a long haul flight.

    After my slightly mixed feelings from my 8th Leeds Festival I’ve been pining after another super fun festival that I can get my teeth in. I needn’t have looked far as Leeds latest Music & Food Festival comes in the form of OnRoundhay. The event is taking place on the 17th September which will showcase some of the best musical talent and of course a great selection of local street food traders (just like Piggie Smalls who I’ve had the pleasure to try at a previous YO1 Festival! I mean any trader that can integrate the name of my favourite Rap artist in to their business model is a winner in my eyes.) With John Lewis’ partnership along with Leeds City Council this is going  to be a great day for all the family.

    NICE PHOTO DIARY | QUEENBEADY

    The moment we glided over the French Riviera on our descent, with the blue, crystal water and super yachts beneath us it appeared we had already entered heaven without even touching down yet. I’d been invited kindly by UniversityRooms.com to review some of their accommodation for a weekend and boy was I excited to arrive in the throws of this beautiful, elegant town. It was like Nice welcomed us with open arms. The sun beating down as we pounded the pavements to our apartment and the sea lapping against the pebble beach to our left. I uttered the words “I don’t want to go home” before we had even been there 15 minutes.

    I’m sure, most people who read this blog are bloggers too so I know you’ll understand when I say, “GIRL, I AM STUCK IN A RUT.” Every now & then throughout the year I find myself really struggling for content. My mind closes up on me and says “Not today Bee. Not today.” meaning no amount of word vomiting can create a coherent blog post. Except, I know I’m word vomiting now about not being able to word vomit. Sorry, did I just “inception” you right there? We’ve all been there. Some weeks I could create content for days and have scheduled posts ready and raring to go at every turn, except recently I’ve hit my half-yearly slump.
