Being a Debbie Downer

By -


So I know today's post is really late- I haven't done one of these in a while! But I just totally ran out of time today and so you're going to have to make do with one of my crappy chatty posts- sorry. 

I thought 2016 was a pretty bad year; not for me, but just for the world. We lost a lot of well loved celebs, we left the EU, Donald Trump became the President. It was all going tits up- but not for me! Yeah, sure, I'd gone through a shitty break up and was feeling a bit weird about life, but to be honest I was having a pretty sick time! I got a great new job, my magazine was going great, I was doing amazing things with my friends like going on holiday, seeing Beyonce and all that jazz. 

But in the last month or so I genuinely feel like life has taken a massive shit on me. 2016 can actually do one now. My year of being 21 started off so well but quickly went downhill. I can't be bothered to go into everything that's happened/been happening, and to be honest I don't want to go into it either. But let's just say I am so ready for 2017. 

I'm trying to focus on the positives of 2016 because I have genuinely had some incredible opportunities and done some amazing things too, some of the memories I've made this year are some of the best I've ever had! However, a lot of shit has also happened this year and I'm just so happy to forget all about it. In less than three weeks it will be time for a fresh start and I absolutely can not wait! 

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer today guys! I promise I'll have some better content for you tomorrow. 

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
