    #BlogAtTheBeach

    If someone told me it was over a week ago since the #BlogAtTheBeach event, I’d probably look at you like you were mad. Time is flying, at a rapid rate. It’s pretty scary. It’s probably because I’m so fixated on getting the hell outta this country. ASAP. When I was invited to the event I knew I just had to go, having leaving the travel industry of eight years, I have missed talking about Travel immensely. The masters behind the event were the lovely IceLolly.com, which is a price comparison site for travel. Now that is my kinda website. They’d also lined up some excellent speakers for the day & I was ready to get stuck in and learn a lot.

    Get Summer Holiday Ready with Veet | QueenBeady

    Veet 4

    As the days keep ticking by, I’m slowly marking an ”X” on each day. I know I shouldn’t wish my days away but at the moment there is only one thing on my mind and that my friends is a trip to Mexico in 45 days. AS I’m dreaming of cocktails and lounging around on a beautiful white, sandy beach with nothing but the waves to keep my ears company I know I have some major prepping to do. Not only am I working out 2-3 times a week to tone up that dreaded tummy of mine – I’m also needing to keep in tact my hairy legs. Yes you heard me. I have a really hairy body. I actually kind of wear it as a badge of honour now & when the discussion arises of ”how much hair we had as a child?” I’m always first to raise my hand in the air and proudly say ”I looked like a monkey when I was born.” Here there’s even proof; You have to admit it’s a colossal amount of hair, am I right?

    Pizza in the Park Church Fenton 1

    Pizza in the Park, Church Fenton is a cute little addition to our local area. It’s one that is welcomed with open arms in my eyes. I mean, who doesn’t like pizza? If you don’t, you might want to stop reading now. Situated on the outskirts of Church Fenton, the site is named The Old Park Plantation and it’s home to the wildlife protection Trust too. Set in among 14 acres of woodland and ponds you’ll get a glimpse of the wonderful outdoor restaurant that is fast becoming a hit with locals! From March the 28th, you can come along on a Saturday night between 4pm – 9pm & enjoy a pizza that has been home-made and cooked in a traditional clay oven. How authentic?

    Hedonist Project: Rum Shack, Leeds | QueenBeady

    Hedonist Project Leeds Rum Shack 7

    I’m just going to put it out there, it’s a bold statement but imma right on say it. Leeds is the food & drink capital. Yep, there I said it. Now, hear me out on this one. The wave of the ”pop up” bar & restaurant is fast becoming the ”in thing” but in Leeds I feel like we are getting some amazing new joints that have actually come on to be full-time, permanent spots because they went down so well during their short but sweet stints. The latest bar to hit New Briggate is Rum Shack. A quirky little hole. It’s unfinished and bare, but what it lacks in ”unpolished finishedness” is a bucket load of personality. Part of The Hedonist Project, you know you’re not going to be disappointed.

    Glamping essentials with House of Fraser

    I harp on and on about how I love festival fever. I love being outdoors too. So combine the two together and you’ll find that I’m pretty much in my divine element. The thing about camping though, it’s not really glamorous. Let’s face it? But about two years ago two key words were formed from Glamorous and Camping and thus Glampingwas born. Now it’s not something you would see at Leeds Festival, however, the totty from TOWIE or posh toffs of Made in Chelsea will certainly do it the right ways. But, they have the cash to really go all out. So when you don’t there are some fabulous retailers on the high street who do.
