6 reasons Valentine's day DOESN'T suck for single people!

By -


It's now officially less than one month until the big day...you know the one. Valentine's Day. It will be my first Valentine's Day as a single lady in a whopping six years. However, I've found that I'm not actually dreading it all that much. Whilst me and my previous partner did observe the day with presents and cards, we never really did anything special, just stayed in, only going out for dinner to celebrate for the first time in five years last year! So I don't feel as though I will be missing out on too much this year. There's also a lot of other reason's that I don't think Valentine's Day sucks for single people and I thought I'd share them with my current singletons to make any people who feel a bit blue get right in the pink again! 


1) You're always alone. Let's be frank now. If you're alone all the other days of the year, Valentine's Day is no different! People buy each other presents and cards and post cute couple photos on their social media pages every day. You're choosing to make Valentine's Day different when in truth, it's an ordinary day for you! Get over it.


2) Cute home ware comes out. I don't know about you, but I have seen some really cute home ware in stores such as Tiger and Wilkinson's. Everything is pink, white, floral and covered in hearts! Best of all, it's pretty cheap on the actual day itself, because no one wants it any more, so you can pick up some gorgeous bargains! I have my eyes on a pink strawberry and cream scented chupa chup candle...


3) Restaurant deals. Restaurants offer special Valentine's menu's which often have great deals and save you lots of money! Grab your girlfriends, or a single male friend (friend zone him gently!) and go and take advantage of the great offers!


4) Chocolate. There is chocolate everywhere, usually on offer or for a discounted price! Go and grab a basket full, get your friends together and have a movie day, binging on all the chocolaty loveliness! 


5) Night's out. Lots of clubs, bars and pubs do social nights on Valentine's Day for singles, so if you want to meet some new people, or maybe a new partner, go along to one! Even if you never see them again, it's something fun to do on Valentine's Day, rather than sitting alone at home, moping!


6) Money. If worst comes to worst, just think about all the money you won't be spending (wasting?) on a significant other this Valentine's Day!


See, Valentine's Day isn't all bad if you're single! It's a holiday to celebrate love, essentially, so you can spend that with anyone- friends, partners or family! And remember...if you sleep for 12 hours of the day, it's just 12 hours of your life out of a whole year. No biggie. 

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
