Do you love your job?

By -


Life is so much better when you enjoy what you're doing, am I right? I can quite easily say I am so happy with what I do. Running a magazine? Great! Freelance writing? Fab! Writing for people here, there and everywhere? Love it! 

However, I also have a retail job on the side to assist with my income. I work at my local Topshop and I really do love it! I was so worried about working there at first- I'm not pretty or skinny and don't look like a model as most Topshop employees do, and I struggle to get on with girls which I thought might mean work would have a bitchy environment. I couldn't have been more wrong though!

I don't worry about how I look or who I am when I'm at work because the girls all make me feel so welcome there! They have all become good friends of mine, they have all been there for me in my hour of need, listened to me rant, made me laugh and cheered me up as well as supporting me so that I can do my job well. I couldn't appreciate them more!

I genuinely wake up everyday looking forward to working...I might whinge about long hours or early starts but deep down, I'm happy! I love my job and what I do and have so much fun whilst I'm doing it- most importantly of all I love the girls that  I work with. I don't think I'd enjoy my job half as much without them.

Life is too short to be stuck where you're unhappy. If you don't like your job, or fancy a new career, move on! You're not tied down, shackled to your current place of employment. Go and pursue what makes you happy! Be surrounded with good people doing what you enjoy- it's the least you deserve! Life. Is. Too. Short. 

How do you feel about your job? Love working or hate it?

Love from,
Florence Grace

    This is why I want a successful career in something I love that makes me happy. So many people are stuck in jobs where they are so unhappy, and I would hate to be in that position. I want to have a career that allows me to be happy, pursue my passions, grow and thrive.

    :D

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
