    It’s safe to say that as much as I have loved so much of my content this year, I’ve not really brought it back to basics. From the photos I adore taking to the written word that goes with them, I’m always trying to create a substantial post that includes many long paragraphs. Don’t ask me why, but I’ve felt that that is the only way to be classed as a “proper blogger” and sometimes, I really don’t have to spend hours constructing a blog post but I still manage it. But I’ve felt exhausted after writing them sometimes. As I get closer and closer to my holiday, I can feel my “old self” trickling through again. The type of person who enjoys life, laughs till my belly hurts and heading on “off the cuff” days out. So, I’m dedicating this post to all the things that have made me smile recently.

    After climbing up 4 flights of stairs, and thoroughly wishing we had hopped in the lift at the Victoria Gate shopping centre, when we reached the top it was safe to say I was in awe of the intricate, wooden ceiling that hung above us that it gave me a moment to catch my breath back. On a blustery Saturday, we had been invited to Issho Restaurant to experience a modern Japanese twist on Brunch I was more than ready for a glass of bubbles to quench my thirst after fearing my asthma had reared it’s ugly head again.

    After we land back from Ibiza next month, six days later we get to head to our first festival, Tramlines, for 2017 as a Festicket Insider. And boy, I can’t bloody wait! Mainly because we get to see one of our fave bands of all time back up on stage again (which for many years it was questionable whether or not we’d ever see them live.) And now we will get to see them for the second time since our little mini heart attack on the matter. Tramlines Festival visits Sheffield for the eighth year and keeps getting bigger and better. In 2011 the Festival won ‘Best Metropolitan Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards, so I’m even more excited to visit this award-winning festival and experience the music! There’s 5 bands that I’m super excited to see…

    I have been dark haired ever since the day I was born. I came out with jet black hair and a heck of a lot of it. Everyone laughed and joked that I looked like a little monkey. For our Wedding, my hair grew and grew once more and my locks were a deep auburn/brown still. As soon as our Wedding day was over and done with I decided that it was now or never to make a drastic change to my look. So with that, my luscious, long locks were cut off to a bob and so the task of getting my hair lighter began.

    COMMON MYTHS ABOUT ROME | QUEENBEADY


    When we travelled to Rome back in March, I thought my travel content would be going crazy, but truth be told I took that many photos I found it difficult to sift through them and actually work out a steady stream of blog posts for you. I’m hoping now I’ve done that, slowly but surely, the posts will start coming through. But before we boarded the plane to the capital city, I had so many pre-conceived ideas about the place, that some of it I just did not expect. So, if you’re thinking of going, have a little read of this post and check out the vlog I created too!
