    #INNTRAVELCAPTUREYORK WITH KEITH MOSS | QUEENBEADY

    York Minster

    I’m munching away on a tuna & cucumber sandwich, with a bag of salt & vinegar squares to be precise and an email lands in my inbox inviting me to a photography event with Inntravel, where legendary street photographer Keith Moss would be our mentor for the day. Now, anyone who knows me, I don’t put down food for anything (hey, I love food, what can I say?) but this email made me put my sandwich down. No lie. You see, I’ve owned a DSLR camera since October last year and it’s only fluke that I get a decent photo from time to time. I couldn’t wait to understand my camera bit better and how to get the best shot.

    5 TRAVEL UPGRADE HACKS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

    Having worked in the Travel Industry I became accustomed to trying to get clients the best possible options, for the very best price possible. And, in turn have applied them to my own travels too. I wanted to share a few travel upgrade hacks to make sure you are getting things when you maybe didn’t really have to pay for them or could have paid half the price. This post does come with a warning as it doesn’t always happen every time but knowing the right tips & tricks can put you on the right path to getting a few nice upgrades when you are on your travels.

    I was called “very strong-willed” the other day. It’s very far away from the view I have of myself to be honest. I just see myself as a panicky, over-thinking, late-twenty year old mess. But then, I got thinking about it. Maybe I actually am quite “strong” – because some of the things I have to put up with, which for the purposes of this blog I will not actually go in to detail, a lot of people probably would have said a big “F U” to, many, many, maaaaaany moons ago. The same person who said I was “strong-willed” I actually stood up for the other day in a slightly heated discussion. One where it felt like they were getting the blame for something that in all it’s entirety was not their fault. So yes, I sat back and thought deeply (yeah ‘cos I am deep & shit!) and came to conclusion that actually yes, maybe I am.

    A WEEKEND IN OSLO #2 | QUEENBEADY

    The second full day with our weekend in Oslo at the end of May saw us head on a bit of a wild goose chase. We just couldn’t find anywhere like the Nighthawk Diner (if you click this link you will enter the world of the best breakfast I have EVER eaten!) for brunch that I had a (minor) paddy. We ended up sharing a Subway that was about 5 feet away from our hotel after a good hour or so of traipsing around finding somewhere to eat. Some of you may know when my levels reach “hangry” I am not to be messed with so the steak, cheese & chilli foot long was exactly what I needed to make sure we had a pleasant day seeing some more of the cities sights which were dotted around the city. The first stop was the Royal Palace and the view down to Karl Johans Gate which was only a five or ten minute walk from our hotel, HTL Grensen.

    I’m not gonna lie, this outfit made me feel pretty damn sassy. World you can’t stop me, I have my sass pants well & truly on with this one. Whilst a white dress with pink flowers is usually way out of my comfort zone, this Quiz dress made me reconsider. I think it’s because of the shape of it along with the ever-so-popular choker style neckline which we are seeing everywhere at the moment. Not that I’m complaining, it’s a look that I absolutely adore and quite frankly it kinda hides me three chins. Whatchaaa gonna do about that, huh?
