New job, fresh start & achieving dreams | QueenBeady

I am so so so so sooooooo happy to announce that I have been offered a job within the Events, Marketing & Digital experience industry. I of course accepted!

I have been in travel for nearly 8 years & if you go back to my very first blog post I go on & on about it and I love(d) it. Sadly, everything has changed. Now, I am not adverse to change as I have embraced it with my new job, however the changes made in my company were big (& bad!) I was ready to fly the “travel nest” and finally do something I have wanted to do for quite some time. I have toyed & toyed with the idea and when I finally found this job advertised I knew I had to get an interview.

I don’t have fancy university degrees (however, I applaud you if you have!) which has made me feel slightly inadequate at times, but I have just proved to myself you don’t need to do that to fulfil your dreams & passions. I worked hard on both my interviews and especially my 2nd. I made a presentation & everything, (left no stone unturned!) and it really paid off & I am so delighted that they gave me the chance and opportunity to bring my skills to the role.

I get even more excited when I see why clients they have worked with too! It is a dream come true & I just cannot wait to get stuck in on the 31st March.

My new journey & adventure begins so BUH BYE travel industry!

Thinking of Spring | QueenBeady

I caught a glimpse of my first daffodil tonight. It made me feel… hopeful. With my grandad still in hospital it’s been non stop & has been hectic to say the least.

I find winter the worst season of all. Although its been a mild one I despair of the shorter days & dark nights. I long for the warmer days and the nights where you can sit in the garden with a nice fruit cider and the BBQ on full swing.

I see hope.

There is blossom on the trees. Daffodils blooming and flowers are starting to sprout. It all means that everything is getting closer to spring & summer.

Whilst its not making my grandad any better it’s making me feel much more positive. As we are getting ever closer to the big wedding day, my grandad is making small but steady steps. To all my bloggers friends, hope & pray for me that one of the main men in my life is there to enjoy our special day with us.

Spring is nearly here & I can feel into my waters that everything is going to be ok.

OOTD Enjoying my new hat & tings | QueenBeady

So guys, I got bored & thought I would be really posey poserish & pull off a few shots of a new outfit I put together on Friday.

Some of you who are regulars to my blog WAVES may have seen my eBay Haul post over a week ago, it included this super cute mint green dress with a scooped back. I bought it not realising it was a few too many sizes big, but when I got it on I LOVED the fact that it wasn’t too tight. I think it’s gives it a bit more of a casual feel to it.

So I enclose a photo of me getting my ritual pose on (trying to look oh so cool but I’m not quite sure it’s working? Cue awkward face!)

Dress Topshop (eBay find)
Hat eBay
Chelsea Boots Barretts

I absolutely love this look. If I was going out I would finish it with my leather jacket just to keep it on the edgier side as it were.

I was also unsure about the “pork pie hat” but I can’t explain my love for it & how it just pulls everything together creating a chic yet I don’t care look about it!

What’s your weekend style?

To start or not to start Video Blogging? That is the question | QueenBeady

It has come to my attention that alot of people like this so called “Video Blogging” I myself have only put pen to paper (or should I say, finger to keyboard!) and have wrote the written word.

My husband to be, James has gone & bought a very fancy new laptop which has a built in web cam. So curiosity has killed the cat & I am thinking of all the wonderful techy things I can do with it & vblogging (as I have so frequently seen it referred to!) is possibly my first avenue.

With my experience of radio training I am not one to shy away from a mic but I have to say, my face in front of a camera is enough to make you run for the hills! So my question to my lovely followed & blogging friends is… Is it worth it & do you get a lot out of it. Whilst I know my blog is not the MOST established blog out there but I do hope I reach a wide audience with lots of different posts instead of pigeon holing myself down one route.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, what would you like to see/hear & how often? I’m hoping to have a play round with it next week without the beady eyes & ears of my partner, as I might get “stage fright” – I am thinking first off a nice OOTD post? I’d love to hear from you all.
