Love from... magazine: The Relaunch!

By -


You may or may not know by now that I run my own magazine, Love from... . Its a lifestyle magazine funded solely by myself. I have an incredible team of writers, most of whom are bloggers who work full time, are studying, have families etc. and still find the time to write for me on a voluntary basis. I don't profit from the magazine in any way, shape or form- but it's not about that for me anyway! It's just about being able to do what I love, all of the time! 



Recently, I'v been stuck in a bit of a rut with the magazine, struggling to find advertisers or to grow the readership to an even larger number. I've had several rants to several people, several ideas, some great and some awful, and now I have come to one conclusion; 

It is time for the relaunch. 

On June 1st not only will we be releasing the fifth issue of the magazine, but it will also be the magazine's first birthday! So with a new year is going to come a new start. Have no fear, we will still be about pink and pretty, but we are going to do some things differently. So, what will change?

- The magazine will be free. I am not sure how I'm going to go about this one, it's definitely going to be hard on me to begin with but I am hoping to generate enough money via advertising that I will be able to run the magazine for free. If you can find content by the same writers online for free, why would you pay for a magazine? Also, the magazine is meant to be a source of inspiration to people all over the globe- and inspiration should be free! 

- There is a small price to pay... The magazine will be free, yes. However if you choose to subscribe to the magazine for a year, there will be a teeny tiny cost of just £2 to cover your postage for the year! (Considering at the moment each issue is sold for £2.50, this is definitely a bargain). 

- There will be a prize draw for subscribers. If you subscribe to the magazine and have to make the payment of £2, we would like to repay you! Everyone who subscribes will be entered into a prize draw of goodies worth £50! This will run between issues (so if June 1st is the launch of the next issue, get subscribing now!)

- There will be freebies. Magazines are always better when they come with teeny tiny gifts, right? So we will be providing said teeny tiny gifts with each issue. 

- Student Ambassador style scheme. We will be starting up a student ambassador style scheme in time for Issue 6 in September, choosing a representative or two for the magazine at a variety of universities and colleges. If this interests you, please email lovefrommag@gmail.com ASAP!

So, what does this leave you to do now? 

It leaves you to pre order a copy of Issue 5, totally free, right here: http://lovefrommag.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-issue-5

And it leaves you to subscribe to the magazine for a year for just £2 and an entry into the prize draw worth £50 right here: http://lovefrommag.bigcartel.com/product/yearly-subscription

PLEASE NOTE THE PAYMENT OF 0.01 LISTED WILL BE REFUNDED- YOU CAN NOT LIST THINGS FOR FREE ON BIG CARTEL! (If anyone knows a shop online where you can list things for free, or an alternative way to sell products online for free, please let me know!)

I really hope you guys will continue to support me and my magazine in the way that you have done so far- I'd love to grow readership and share my team and I's hard work with a wider audience. Hopefully I have made it more accessible to you all now!

These changes will be coming into effect for the fifth issue, so if you've recently purchased an issue or subscribed a few issues ago, please don't feel ripped off, this is coming into effect as of June 1st! However, if you'd like to discuss a problem, please do get in touch!

If you're interested in purchasing a copy and are having problems, want to get involved with the magazine, want to advertise with the magazine or have any other questions, please email me at lovefrommag@gmail.com or DM me on Twitter!

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
