    It is so easy to get intoxicated by the buying signals of influencers all over our social media feed. Should I buy this, should I book those flights, should I be doing this? It’s a vicious circle we can sometimes find ourselves in, trying to fit in with the crowd and keep up appearances. I’ll be honest, I’ve tried not to follow trends too much because I’ve learnt over the years that by stretching ourselves in that way can rail road us off the course of authenticity. And then it totally blows when you forget yourself along the way. I wrote a post entitled the Simple Things and it reminded me of all the things I enjoy in life that I  take for granted far too much, even if they are cool or not. And my Self Acceptance post honed in on the fact that I’ve really started to accept who I am as a person and that has meant living by my own means and not by anyone’s expectations. It’s freeing and boy does it feel good.

    Summer is a hard time for a girls whose thighs rub together. Lets face it girls, Summer can throw a huge dilemma at us and most notably it’s the good ol’, affectionately coined “chub rub” that bites back with a vengeance. This year I was determined to not let that bother me (quite as much.) I’d worked hard every day for over a month on a little, ten minute exercise regime I completed morning & night. I wasn’t going to be skinny overnight but I was going to make a conscious effort to work on the things that bothered me.

    IBIZAGRAM: IBIZA IN INSTAGRAM SQUARES | QUEENBEADY

    Oh. How I am already dreaming of blue skies, sandy beaches and cocktails on tap. And I’ve only been back just over a week. I’m sure most of you will agree that going on holiday is one of the pleasures in life that I don’t think I could live without. There’s nothing quite like hopping on a plane and heading somewhere for a bit of R and R. Plus, the hot weather that the UK seems to be lacking this week is giving me a serious case of wanderlust. So, without further a do, I bring you #IbizaGram – the snaps I tantalised on my Instagram page when I had a dose of Vitamin Sea.

    IBIZA OLD TOWN QUEENBEADY VLOG

    I can’t quite believe that one whole week has flown by since we flew to Ibiza. We’re both stocked up on paella and tapas, jugs of sangria and pints of San Miguel. Fresh from days by the beach and those days exploring the White Isle. And with one long flight delay home under our belt we arrived back home in the wee hours of this morning. And in the spirit of all things holiday/travelling, to reminisce so dearly about our time on the Iberian Island of Ibiza, I’ve put my vlog together quick sharp. So, sit back with a cuppa (or a San Miguel to get in the mood!) and enjoy today’s vlog post…

    6 REASONS TUSCANY NEEDS TO BE YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY DESTINATION | QUEENBEADY

    italy

    Italy. Oh, Italy. You really are the destination of dreams. From your dramatic cliffs on the Amalfi Coast, to the ancient ruins of Rome and to the ever stylish streets of Capri or Milan. I adore everything about the country. However, I feel I have only scratched the surface. I’ve been blinded by its bright city lights or the crashing waves against the Neapolitan riviera and never gave the Italian countryside a second thought. Until now.
