Writing a book!

By -



So this is my second daily blog post...so far, so good right? I've had a bit of a frustrating day today, people have just been grating on me. You know when people are so bad at what they do, and they just have one simple thing to do? Yeah, I've encountered a lot of that today. I've also dealt with a lot of annoying customers at work today...is it so hard to put a coat back on a coat hanger rather than draping it over the rail that has the coat hanger on it? No it is not! Yet people do this anyway! It's pretty frustrating.

I have the day off tomorrow and am hoping to go for the first run of the New Year with my sister...and I might even start on my book too! I'm a little anxious about this new endeavour. I love writing, and as a magazine columnist, I know how to write in a structured way. However, all of the pieces I write are very chatty and personal- the only experience I have of book writing is my fictional 'novels' from when I was a child! I think it's going to take some time to work out what I want this book to do- inform, entertain or both- and how personal I want it to be, how long it will be and who my readers will be. Tomorrow, it's time to brainstorm!

Thought of the day: What comes easy won't last, what lasts won't come easy. (Yes this is in reference to my book writing...it will take time to complete it!)

 How has your day been?

Love from,
Florence Grace

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

By -

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
