TWO DAYS TO GO

By -


It's Christmas Eve Eve and I could not be more excited! It's my last day of work until after Boxing Day today which makes me very happy as I was definitely expecting to be working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day! I also have no freelance work until 2017 now, so I'm going to have a lot of time to relax and fully enjoy Christmas! 

I might be 21 years old but I still joined in with putting my letter up the chimney for Santa's robin to come and collect last night. My Dad always prints Christmas patterned paper for us to write our lists on each year, which is one of the small traditions I love about Christmas- I don't ever want to be too old to do that! I didn't think I wanted anything for Christmas this year after being so spoilt for my birthday last month, but my list turned out to be almost three pages long...! Most of it's just trainers to be honest though, I can never have enough pairs!

I've got an eight hour shift at work today so I'm definitely going to make sure that we play Christmas songs all day long, and I'm wearing my Christmas jumper too- it's super cute, with Mr and Mrs Claus on and they've got fluffy hair/a fluffy beard. Now that I'm feeling far more festive, I'm definitely going all out! 

I've still got so many Christmas films left to watch- in particular I want to squeeze in watching all three The Santa Clause films and The Grinch, and then I think I've pretty much covered them all. My plan tomorrow is to plant myself on the sofa with all the Christmassy snacks and watch them all back to back! 

Tonight I'm seeing my friend Alex and giving her her Christmas presents. Whilst I do know Alex so well, I do find her quite difficult to buy for, so I'm a little worried she won't like what I've got her, but here's hoping! 

I've got to dash to work now- I'm running so behind! I hope you all have a lovely Christmas Eve Eve- let me know what you're doing today! 

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
