FEELING FESTIVE (FINALLY) AND FAB

By -


I've been feeling pretty crappy for most of December, and a few days ago I blogged about how I wasn't even feeling very Christmassy at the moment. Today, I was finally hit with the festive feeling! I've just had a really good day to be honest! I had to get up horrendously early (7AM lol) to meet my best girls, Abby and Pops, so that we could go for breakfast. I wore my Christmas jumper and took Abby's baby girl a Christmas present and we had a lovely chat and catch up for the majority of the morning! 

In the afternoon, I went to Milton Keynes shopping centre to fulfil my annual tradition of riding on the carousel. I don't care how old I am, I will never not get excited about going on the Christmas carousel; I honestly love it so much! 

This evening, I've sat down and completed work in front of Christmas films with some snacks and my sister, which has been lovely! We haven't had a movie night together in a while, so it's been nice! 

I'm also in a far better mood than I've been in for a while because yesterday I was featured in an article on The Metro's website- you can read that right here. I was a bit nervous about speaking out about such a personal issue, one that has affected me for the last two years, but I am so glad that I did because the feedback I have received from doing so has been amazing I've had so many people message me, thanking me for sharing my story and speaking out on such an important issue, so I'm over the moon that I have helped some people in a small way! 

I'm so happy I'm feeling better and more like myself- hopefully it will continue for the rest of the festive season! 

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
