I've been nominated!!

By -
What a wonderful surprise I had today...my new friend Hollie, who I have met through blogging, nominated me for an award- one that I had never heard of, the Liebster Award. Hollies blog can be found here http://holliegarner44.blogspot.co.uk/. I would highly recommend it if you love football, fashion or polka dots!

Through some research, I discovered this is not an award you can nominate yourself for- someone else has to nominate you, so you can imagine how lucky I feel to have been nominated myself. The main rules once you have been nominated are as follows:


  • Get nominated.
  • Link back the person who nominated you.
  • Answer the eleven questions provided by the person who nominated you.
  • Create eleven new questions for the people you choose to nominate (this is optional- you can keep the questions the same if you wish)
  • Nominate 5-20 people for the award. 
So here are the questions I have been asked to answer!

1) Who are your top three bloggers and why?

I am still fairly new to blogging so don't really know many but I really like Jemma's blog http://www.dorkface.co.uk/ , Beth's blog http://www.thebritishgirl.co.uk/ and of course my best girl Ell's blog http://smallbutl0ud.blogspot.co.uk/. Check them all out, they're all brilliant! 

2) What drives you?

My determination to succeed... and I guess money, ultimately! I want to have a comfortable life without any money worries, so I know I have to work hard to get into that position! 

3) What little things make you happy?

Someone paying me a compliment out of the blue, whether that be on something I've done or something I'm wearing...also cuddling in bed with my boyfriend, eating our favorite junk food and watching films. The simple things in life! 

4) What is your dream job/personal goal?

Easy! A Radio 1 presenter, either on the breakfast show or the chart show! I want to be like Reggie Yates or Fern Cotton! Maybe even one day have my own show...

5) Do you have a favorite food?

Yes- prawns!!! But I also love pasta, cheese and, odd as it sounds, bread. And noodles. And cool original doritos Carbs, carbs, carbs!

6) What is your favorite beauty brand?

If we are talking about nail varnishes, it has to be Barry M!! However, all the other make up I buy is Rimmel, so I guess that would be my favorite!

7) Favorite clothes shop?

Boohoo for dresses, but I get clothes from all over the place! Primark, RI, Topshop and New Look. (I'm no good at picking favorites in case you couldn't tell!) 

8) What would be your spirit animal and why?

A unicorn definitely. I believe in magical things, I love sparkles and glitter. Also, unicorns are always depicted as wise, trusting and helpful...I like to think I possess all of those qualities! 

9) Why did you start blogging?

Before, I had always used Tumblr as a 'blog'. Then, at a media seminar, I was advised to start one to 'create a voice' and to get my name out there. It really has helped too! I have had so many opportunities thrown at me because of my blog...this award being one of them! 

10) Have you changed much over the last two years? 

Definitely. I have grown up a lot. I have gained more self confidence and self belief. I have grown less naive in regards to spotting genuine people and who is taking advantage of me. I have definitely become more thick skinned too. And more independent! When I think about it, I really have changed a lot. 

11) If you could star in a TV series based on your life, what would it be? (Drama, sitcom etc...)

Oh, definitely a sitcom. Me and my sisters often have moments where we just look at each other and think "that is such a sitcom moment, someone should be filming our lives right now!". A mix of serious issues with a lot of comedy and some romance. 

So there you have it! The answers to my questions for the Liebster Award! I have chosen to keep my eleven questions the same for the people that I nominate. Here are my nominations:

Ellice
Lauren
Jemma
Beth
Annie

Sorry it's such a small list...as I said, I'm still new to blogging, so don't know many yet!

Thanks again to the lovely Hollie for my nomination- these questions have been pretty fun to answer, so I hope my nominees enjoy them too! 

Love from, 
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
