Wow. The 1st trimester felt really long and then the 2nd trimester, well, it has just whizzed by so fast that I can’t quite believe that next week I’m going to be in the third trimester of our first pregnancy. For those that didn’t know our happy news, head over to this Instagram post for our little announcement. It was a rocky road to get here so we are thrilled to finally be on the other side and able to celebrate. Aside from feeling like I need many, many aids to feel human again and I’ve hardly slept for what feels like a decade (thanks pregnancy insomnia), it’s been such a magical time for us. Here’s 5 things that I’ve learnt being pregnant.
I’m a big believer in travelling to find some vitamin D the colder months so I was very excited for our Winter Sun holiday to Lanzarote with Jet2holidays. This post is in collaboration with Jet2holidays.
I’m thrilled to be sharing my news with you here on queenbeady today!
As we were plunged in lockdown in March 2020 here in the UK, it quickly became apparent that in amongst the worldwide pandemic & ongoing onslaught of the virus, it was giving the world a chance to press pause and lean in to a slower way of life. That previous to that had become fast-paced, chaotic and the immediacy of things had made us demanding as a human race. There was a huge gap in the market and the quietly wild store was just getting ready to step in to the wings.
I, myself had also fallen down the trap of living like this but I would often find small pockets of time to steer away from the rat-race, all of which brought me moments of peace, calm and tranquility when I needed it most.
I will also be honest, my love for this blog has most very obviously waned over the last few years and I have been looking for something far more fulfilling for me to do.
If you follow me on my Instagram you will see that I love nothing more than getting away from the daily grind by stomping around at my in-laws farm, to taking myself off to be by the water for quieter moments (I’m a Scorpio so that means I’m a water sign so, go figure!) or you’ll find me getting lost in the local woods, standing with the trees and just listening to nature with my eyes closed.
For me, these things come naturally to me, especially when I dig in to my metaphorical tool-kit after feeling worn out and burnt out. However, I know for some that this it isn’t always as easy to do.
When I wanted the comforts of my own home, I found that creative activities kept me sane through all of this. It gives me an outlet to focus on a task that has both rewarding & beautiful end results.
And, I know I’m not the only one who wants to embrace the slower pace of life as we navigate our way out of this pandemic.
So, after a lot of soul searching and 1:1 coaching, the quietly wild was finally born and I’m currently taking small and steady steps as it grows organically in to a lifestyle brand.
The 3 main ethos’ that will always be core root of the quietly brand values with everything that we do are as follows:
We will do this by providing you with products that encapsulates calming qualities; such as our wreath kits which will be the quiet connection to the wild outdoors.
Our dried flowers will come from some of the highest quality UK & off-shore, family run wholesalers and will be vetted before being added to our kits so you can be assured you will receive a beautiful kit to get creative with.
If you like bold & bright colours, the wild wreath kit will be for you. Or, if you like the quiet and unassuming neutral tones, the quiet wreath kit is perfect!
We plan on expanding our product range over time as the brand slowly but surely, and organically grows.
We hope you will join me in celebrating the quieter, slower pace of live that the wild outdoors & creative activities can offer us when we want to slow down.
So, if you’re interested, please take a little look over on our new site as we will be welcoming you with open arms.
This new chapter in my life is just beginning and I am so excited for it!
Take care,
