Shoutout to my boys

By -



As a single girl in 2016, let me tell you it is actually incredibly difficult to get yourself a boyfriend. Myself and my friend Alex are constantly in disbelief at how badly we can be played, how straight up ridiculous some guys can be and to be honest, I know I speak for both of us when I say we are just exhausted with the whole "seeing each other slash dating" kind of thing.

It's not like I'm even asking for much! I'm not looking for David Beckham (hey, it would be nice but I know he's taken). I just want a fun guy who has his shit relatively together and isn't still hanging around at parks with kids on a skateboard or on street corners dealing drugs (too salty? Oops). Apparently this is too much to ask for, and after a final boy disaster last month, I had decided that I had had enough and was literally just going to fuck boys off altogether. Who needs them, you know?

And then I realised how selfish this was. Of course not all boys are the same, and it's not okay to paint them with the same brush etc. etc., but there are two boys in particular who I absolutely will never fuck off or give up on. Those of you who are true fans of my blog (lol) or have me on social media will know that, of course, I'm talking about my superstar best pals BJ and Alec.



Honestly, these two are some of the greatest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They have absolutely dragged me through 2016, no matter how many times I haven't wanted to move on or let things go, no matter how many mistakes I've been insistent on making, no matter how many guys I present to them and say "but what about this one?" only to be met with a "nope", these guys have stuck through me thick and thin.

Both of them have been there for me in my hour of need, at all times of day. They both know me inside out and back to front and pretty much better than anyone else does. They look after me, they look out for me and, to be frank, I feel like they are the only boys I will ever 100% need in my life. If the next guy I manage to date (if it ever happens in this town) is half the person these guys are, I know I will have done well for myself. These two probably still won't like him, but I'm sure as long as I'm happy, they'll accept him!



These two are living proof that not all guys are the same, and they're living proof that genuinely lovely guys do still exist. I needed this reminder to share with my single lady friends who want to give up, to all the girls who think that every boy is a fuck boy and won't treat her right and most importantly, as a reminder to myself.

Alec and BJ, I love you to the moon and back and always appreciate you more than I could say x

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
