Things that make me cry

By -


I am a weeper. More so, in 2016. I have never cried as much as this year; for some reason, I've become overly emotional. When I told my dad I was going to write this post, he said "but everything makes you cry. Just write 'everything' ". Ha! He might be right, but here's a more specific list of things that have me feeling all emotional. 

Christmas adverts
I have cried at nearly every single Christmas advert this year, particularly the Marks and Spencer's advert. I'm not sure if it's just because I get so excited for Christmas or because I'm just soppy but I really love them! 


Tom Hanks
I don't know what it is but I have such a strong emotional attachment to Tom Hanks! No matter what film he's in, no matter what he's doing, I tear up and- in some cases- full on weep over him. Don't watch Forrest Gump with me if you're not prepared to see me as an emotional wreck! 


Babies
I am always so broody and whenever I see babies on adverts or meet babies I get all teary- when I met my best friend's baby for the first time it took a lot not to have a complete melt down! Babies are so cute and so precious and I just love them! 



Romcoms
I love 'em. I cry at the sad bits, the funny bits, the happy bits. Romcoms absolutely destroy me. 



Acts of kindness
When my mum brought me some garlic bread the other day because she thought I was sad, it made me cry because it was just so lovely! When I was younger, my best friend Jess used to surprise me all the time with spontaneous lovely messages and gifts to make me smile- things like this really touch me! 



Old men
This will sound really weird but cute little old men- like the one in The Holiday- really make me emotional! They're so sweet and when I see them struggling with things as simple as walking, my heart breaks!



Seeing my favourite bands/musicians live
I cry so much at concerts its ridiculous- when I saw Beyonce, I pretty much cried non-stop! The home videos she shared of her and Jay-Z were just too much to handle. 




There's hundreds of other things that make me cry, but if I keep going on we will be here forever! Let me know what makes you cry in the comments below! 

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
