7 reasons January doesn't suck!

By -


I have seen so many blog posts, statuses and tweets about the many reasons why January sucks. I've even seen it be called the "Monday of the months". Poor January! I decided to turn this all on it's head and tell you all why actually, January is a great month! 

1) You can start the year with a literal bang. You get to start the year with a party- in what month? That's right, January! You don't get to party like you do at new year in any other month, and the 1st of January is a day off for almost everyone! For almost no reason! Fabulous, right?


2) You can start fresh. We've all heard the saying "new year, new me" and whilst most of us mock it, it's true. The month of January allows you to have a fresh start at life, it creates drive and ambition in people to do amazing things and encourages people to strive for bigger and better things- what's bad about that?!


3) Sales! There are sales everywhere! On holidays, clothes, day trips, furniture, literally everything! January is one of the best times of year to nab some brilliant bargains!


4) Feeling better. Most people start a detox, cleanse or fitness regime of some kind in January which means most people feel ultimately better in January than at any other time of the year!


5) New things. It's just been Christmas so if you were good all year long, hopefully you'll have lots of lovely new things to use/play with/wear in January, and these can also be blogged and vlogged about, providing you with great new content...it's a win win situation.


6) You become sensible with money. With January's pay day being the worst of the entire year, we are able to become more sensible with money in January, learning what we actually do need to spend our money on and what we can go without...such as endless take away's and new clothes!


7) It's followed by February. February is the shortest month of the year, so when you make it through January, February seems like a doddle and flies by!


See? January isn't all bad! It brings out the best in people and forces them to become high achievers- even if it is just for one month! Do you think there's something good about January that I've missed out? Let me know in the comments below!

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
