Vote For The Travelista to win Best Travel Blog!

The Travelista in the Cosmo Blog Awards 2014

10/05/14 ᛫ 3 Comments

May is without a doubt, the best month of the year. There are 2 bank holidays, it’s my Birthday and it’s the month that nominations for the Cosmo Blog Awards open! After being shortlisted to win Best Travel Blog at last years Cosmo Blog Awards, I was utterly stunned and over the moon, so you can imagine my excitement of potentially making it onto that prestigious shortlist for the second year running. 

Nominate The Travelista to win Best Travel Blog!

Nominate The Travelista to win Best Travel Blog!

Last year The Travelista was shortlisted into the Best Travel Blog category just 4 months after it was launched into the blogosphere (not bad going if I do say so myself). I went to the super stylish London awards ceremony in the XO tower and loved every minute of it – check out my Cosmo Blog Award lowdown post. I mingled, drank Cosmos and made friends with some amazing fellow bloggers including Hitched and Ditched, Kaori from Kaori Anne, Hannah from Hannah Leigh, Nicola from Nics Nutrition and Kate from Pretty Little Us. Overall, the whole experience made me fall in love with blogging even more and made me even more determined to make sure I made it back there the following year.

One year on and my blog has transformed my career, taken me away on travels and most importantly,  I have built up a loyal readership and following of fellow Travelistas. If you are one of the fabulous individuals that visit my blog on a regular basis or if you have simply just stumbled across it now and are intrigued to see more, please take 2 minutes to nominate me to win Best Travel Blog in this year’s Cosmo Blog Awards 14.

Winning Best Travel Blog at the Cosmo Blog Awards 2014 would mean absolutely everything to me, and help me continue to inspire others to travel , help aspiring travel bloggers and prove that blogging really can change your life!

I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for I have my friend @naomipsychotherapy to thank for introducing me to wild swimming. She lives here in the Lakes and is an all-seasons pro. At first I was intrigued by her new hobby but equally I thought she was totally mad.

With 8 wild swims under my belt now I’ve definitely grown in confidence and really crave the rush of endorphins it brings. It’s such a visceral experience that pushes your body and then rewards it. There are also so many mental health benefits to wild swimming too. 

Here are Naomi’s 6 top tips if you are a beginner and want to give wild swimming a try:

1. Make sure you have a safe entry and exit point
2. Be mindful of any currents or tides. Lakes are safest as they have neither. 
3. Never swim alone. Always go with someone else.
4. Wear swim booties to protect your feet from rough ground. 
5. Remember mindfulness - try to be present in the moment, noticing what you can hear, smell, see, feel. You can’t get closer to nature than this. 
6. Make sure you have a towel and warm, dry clothing to put on immediately after swimming. 

Would you ever try wild / cold water swimming? Or are you already converted? 💬

Let me give you a tour of the penthouse suite at t Let me give you a tour of the penthouse suite at the @editionnewyork - where we just stayed for 5 nights.

The penthouse currently sells at an eye watering $10,084 a night, which we absolutely did not pay. 

For full disclosure, this was not a PR / press stay. My friend booked a loft suite and the penthouse upgrade was a surprise as the lovely reception staff noticed it was her birthday during our stay. We did not mention our social media accounts or my blog so this stroke of luck was 100% organic! 

Before booking the Edition NYC we saw online that the hotel regularly upgrades its guests whenever possible. We were hopeful but never ever expected they’d upgrade us to the penthouse! 

Insider tip: the generous upgrades are definitely a reason to stay at The Edition when you’re next in NYC.

What’s your favourite part of the Penthouse? 🗽 

📍 5 Madison Avenue, Manhattan, NYC
