Take Back What's Yours.

By -
I was tagged by fellow blogger Katy to participate in a worldwide bloggers movement, the Take Back What's Yours campaign.


The campaign is a brand new idea, started by Chloe over at Chloe's Concept.  The idea is similar to that of setting a New Year's resolution, but it is a lifelong commitment. Take Back What's Yours aims to help people to take back a part of them that they feel they have lost- it could be anything from your confidence to your happiness to your passion for a hobby.

So, in 2015 I am choosing to Take Back my good health. Over the last year and a half my eating habits have got worse. It is very rare that I eat three full meals a day, I often eat dinner very late in the evening and snacking is my worst habit. On top of this, I have not done any proper exercise since I stopped doing P.E lessons- 3 years ago. Yes, I walk everywhere and occasionally do a workout DVD but it is not enough!

In 2015 I would like to drop at least one dress size, getting me down from a size 12 to a size 10. With most of my favourite foods being carb based mixed with the fact that I despise 99% of fruit and vegetables, I know that this will be a hard challenge for me but I am going to try to stick to my goals. Last year, I stuck to a fitness and health routine for about 3 weeks, and it was amazing how much better I felt within myself in such a short period of time- I would like to feel that good and healthy again.

There is no excuse not to exercise and eat well- I just don't do it. Whilst I'm not particularly unhealthy or overweight, I can be healthier and fitter, and that is what I would like to achieve and "Take Back"! What will you take back?

Thank you Katy for my tag. I choose to tag: Hollie, Apryl, Zoe, Beth, Jade-Lia, Vix, Cece, Summer, Emily and Justine. Send me your links when done so I can retweet them!

I hope you all manage to successfully Take Back What's Yours.

Love from,
Florence Grace

Picture to come soon!!!

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
