Time flies when you're having fun!

By -


Sorry today's blog post is so late! I've had such a busy day and haven't had time to properly write something up, so thought I'd just give you a little chit chatty blog tonight! 

This evening, I met up with my good friend Ross. I went to primary school with Ross, lived next door to him for a little bit and we used to regularly go to see films at the cinema together. When he went to uni in September, we stopped seeing each other as much, so when we saw each other today we had plenty to catch up on!

Whilst talking about our time at primary school, about who we did and didn't speak too, we realised it had been ten years since we had seen any of these people, which was such a scary thought! This, however, lead on to another, even scarier thought... Ross and I have been friends for a whopping fifteen years!!! That's three quarters of our lives! I couldn't believe it, I have genuinely not been friends with anyone else for as long as that. Aside from Ross, and his twin brother Louis, the only other friend from my childhood is Zoe, who I have known for ten years. 

It's scary just how quickly time flies by. It seems like only yesterday I was spending time with my now ex boyfriend, only last week that I was leaving school, only last month that I was doing my GCSE's. How does time seem to go at double the speed, triple the speed, the older that you get? Time used to drag as a child- birthday's and Christmas took forever to come around! Now, we're almost half way through April 2016 and summer is literally just around the corner, with Christmas not too far behind...and yet I'm sure Christmas 2015 was just last month! It's absolutely crazy but I can only come to this conclusion:

I am having more fun. 

When you're younger and at school, you don't want to be doing homework and chores and so time drags. When you're older and doing things that you actually enjoy, time seems to go far more quickly. In my head, this makes sense. 

Do you have any lifelong friends, or childhood friends? How long have you known each other? Let me know in the comments below!

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
