Making a murderer, no money and my shambles of a life

By -


The truth about today is that I didn't really have much to write about- hence why this post is so late in the day! I wanted to write all about Netflix's hottest new documentary, 'Making a Murderer' but I didn't have enough time (as per!) so that's one that will have to wait! Today, I thought I'd just talk about my life in general.

I think that my life is a shambles right now. I am behind in everything due to such a rocky first two weeks of 2016! Two weeks ago today my life changed- for the worst, or so it seemed. Two weeks later, I feel a lot better than I did, which has really surprised me, and the people around me. This wouldn't have been possible without the amazing support from my friends though- in particular (but not in any order) Bobbie, Chloe S, Chloe H, Justine, Zoe, Alec and my family too. So many people have approached me over the last two weeks, offered a shoulder to cry on, listened to me vent and held my hand as I transferred from a heartbroken, emotional wreck to a less sad, more angry about life but feeling a lot better and less emotional Flo. 

My life is also a shambles because I didn't do much freelancing this week, thinking that I had an extra £100 in my bank...when I don't. So I have 0 money and a big night out in London planned for this weekend, plus a few dates with friends next week and my best friends birthday meal towards the end of the month. Oh, not to mention bills coming out too! Fabulous. 

Hopefully my life will be more "back on track" as of next week. My fresh start for 2016 is well under way, and though the start of the year may have been the absolute worst for me, I am determined to make 2016 my best year yet. 

But for now? Time for some diary updates, life planning and some literal netflix and chill...by myself. 

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
