    Fabulous Five #1 | QueenBeady

    Grafitti

    I know when I start a “series” type of post they generally fall by the wayside after about a month, like my Mindfulness Monday posts that I started at the beginning of the year. I don’t know why I can’t keep them up, after all this blog has been going for 5 years or so now. I’m not quite sure when I’ll run out of things to say but for some reason I’m never too great at keeping up with these style of posts. With various blogs like this around already written by other bloggers, it might seem silly to add another one to the list, however, I realise it’s a nice little way to document some of the things that have made me smile and I want to capture the small things too. I hope by not putting a huge amount of pressure on myself to post this on a particular day of the week, might ignite more of a passion to write them. I want to look back on my blog and see it as a little diary for me to remember good times! So without further ado, I bring you Fabulous Five, numero uno.

    The New Consevatory, Leeds | QueenBeady

    New Conservatory Leeds main taster

    I was recently invited to review the The New Consevatory, Leeds new menu. I’d seen plenty of other bloggers head here and I had never had the pleasure yet so I was excited to see what was in store. The Restaurant and Bar is situated on Albion Place which is very central within Leeds. A very beautiful building, you head down the stairs to the bustling bar. The décor reminds me of an old-world orangery of a very regal house. The walls are lined with book shelves, with many, many novels and hardbacks adorning them, making it a really unique venue. Spending the night with my BFF was also a massive bonus, ‘cos you know we all need to blow off some steam every once in a while, she probs ate her belly pork quietly whilst getting a little bit of TMI, but who cares? FYI, spoiler alert, the belly pork was to die for.

    I felt I just had to write this post on the spot. I’ve just come off the phone from a Facebook video call with my Nana & Grandad. It really made me smile. Not only the fact that they are using technology in their late sixties and (sorta) bossing it, but it just made me really happy that I can do that in 2K16 and not get blown up by the Millennium Bug, ya’know? I can be interactive with my family without so much as clicking a mouse button. We are more connected than ever and I’m so thankful for technology in that respect. Here we go again, the ol’ word vomit is about to happen…

    eShore route 66

    For those of you who are long time or regular readers of my blog you’ll know I’ve got an incurable case of wanderlust. It’s funny how now that I’m no longer in the Travel Industry I travel a lot more. With four trips booked this year, one of which took place in March, I’m always looking for new and exciting destinations to get my teeth into, be it soaking up the sun in Mexico, to wandering the streets of Nice, to people watching in Amsterdam, I know I’m at my happiest exploring. The infamous Route 66 turns a grand old age of 90 this year and eShores is celebrating with various bloggers by sending them a pack of goodies to keep them occupied on a long road trip!

    I saw something on Facebook the other day that quite frankly, pissed me off. Okay, maybe that is a strong way of explaining my feelings. First it pissed me off, then it made me sad, then it made me question society. All these emotions came from a post that kinda went like this “Omg I’m a size 12 now. I’m so fat!” Whilst I really hope that the person can work on loving her body, it just made me so sad that we are conditioned to believe we should be perfect all the time. Guys, you know what I’m probably at my heaviest (albeit not that heavy at all) and yet I’m still feelin’ sassy with all my perfect imperfections.
