    I’m one of those people that groans a little bit when Autumn / Winter comes around. I know, crucify me now. I just hate the fact that we are soon going to be plunged in to darkness. You know the score, waking up and going to work in the dark, oh and then coming back home in the pitch blackness of night. I’m a girl that needs my sunshine & vitamin D (or whatever it is that the sun gives you.) However, I can’t deny that I do love the Autumn wardrobes, the snuggly days on the sofa with hot cocoa watching endless Netflix series without fear of feeling like you should really get outside and enjoy the weather, oh and did I mention I love fireworks?

    I mentioned in a previous post about feeling content that it’s important to declutter your life. So, on a sunny Sunday this weekend I decided now was the time to take my own advice. I’ve been run down lately, works hectic and I’ve been slowly letting my body give up on me in the run up to our holiday that things like my blog and keeping the house in order has fallen by the wayside. It doesn’t help that both Mr C & I are terribly untidy, our house can quickly become to look like a car boot / jumble sale without us even realising.

    When mid September comes round you can normally kiss goodbye to festival season. The likes of Glastonbury, Leeds Festival and V Fest are all distant memories of this years coup of music fun. So thank God, for OnRoundhay! Leeds latest festival offers a stellar line up, food to keep everyone’s tums happy and complete with a dedicated children’s area making it a fun filled day for all the family. How cute? And because of the sudden heatwave it gave me a great opportunity to wear this fab dress from Trendeo too, the ultimate festival dress.

    PREPPING FOR A LONG HAUL FLIGHT | QUEENBEADY

    I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am flying to the Caribbean again this weekend. Not because it’s a humble brag but because I am so unbelievably ready for a week away to rejuvenate. I do not want to think of targets, deadlines or anything else for that matter except what cocktails I should be drinking from the extensive menu at the hotel. It’s a long flight, between 9-10 hours and whilst we have the luxury of travelling on the Dreamliner again, like we did to Mexico, you can never be too over-prepared for a long haul flight. I wanted to share a quick, handy guide of how you can get ready for a long haul flight.

    COUNTDOWN TO ONROUNDHAY FESTIVAL | QUEENBEADY

    After my slightly mixed feelings from my 8th Leeds Festival I’ve been pining after another super fun festival that I can get my teeth in. I needn’t have looked far as Leeds latest Music & Food Festival comes in the form of OnRoundhay. The event is taking place on the 17th September which will showcase some of the best musical talent and of course a great selection of local street food traders (just like Piggie Smalls who I’ve had the pleasure to try at a previous YO1 Festival! I mean any trader that can integrate the name of my favourite Rap artist in to their business model is a winner in my eyes.) With John Lewis’ partnership along with Leeds City Council this is going  to be a great day for all the family.
