    LAST MINUTE LUXURY VALENTINES GIFT GUIDE | QUEENBEADY

    Processed with VSCO with hb2 preset

    Without trying to assume, this post is probably reaching out to a demographic that will be spending their hard earned cash on a female counterpart this Valentines Day. The day that has been called out for being just another “consumerism day” that retailers have added to our calendar over the years to bridge that gap between both Christmas and Easter and get some extra bank rolling in. But, as much as you love to hate it, it is here to stay. It’s not something that’s going to change so if you are really struggling to decide on something to give to a loved one, this handy last minute guide might just help!

    At last. I’m sure you can understand my absolute, utter joy in the fact that I now have an Instagram Husband. It finally happened after six years, my husband can now pick up a camera and take photos of me, exactly how I want him to. #HumbleBrag. You may have read this post back in June where I shared my concern for other bloggers who had respective other halves that just didn’t have the will when it came to taking blog photos for us. Well, with a little bit of coaching (and subtle hinting) Mr C went and bought me a 55-250mm lens for my Canon 100D this Christmas (which some of you have already asked me about here) and it has seriously taken our photography skills up another level (or even ten!)

    Firstly, merry Christmas. I hope the big man in a red suit brought you everything your hearts desired. I’m still feeling in the giving mood today so stay with me here.

    With another year under my belt with this little blog, there have been many photos posted on here and on Instagram. But, let’s face it, you only see the best of the best (well, the best of a bad bunch) because I want you to see everything in a not-so disgusting light. So when I am eventually being normal you get to see that side of me. I thought it would be HI-larious of me to share some outtakes of the year. To be honest, you see a real serious side of me in my blog posts but truth be told, I’m never happier than sounding/looking like an idiot, making jokes and generally just having a LOL a minute at myself. So, let’s have a good ol’ laugh at my expense, seeing as it’s the season of goodwill and all that.

    I look at my most recent blog shoots and think, “bloody hell, these are good.” It sounds so terribly ostentatious of me, but I’m genuinely 100% happy with the direction my blog is taking. I work with two very talented photographers (hey, who else but Matt wouldn’t mind heading down a stinky alley way and tunnel to take some grimy shots like this?) who share a similar vision of what I want my blog and content to be all about. I’m done with the white backgrounds and stark bright photos, because life can’t always be that shiny canvas that I see everyday, and for me it’s just not possible. I bow down to those who can emulate that every single day but for me, it would be too tiring.
