Let's talk about boobs.

By -


Just as the title suggests, let's talk about boobs. Because to be honest, I've had enough. 

I mean, it's annoyed me before, but it wasn't until last night when I saw a certain post that I had to "go off on one" shall we say. That's right, I ranted about boobs, on Twitter, for all of the world to see. This was the post that triggered it:



Now of course it wasn't Halle Berry's response that made me angry, because she was amazing! It was the person tweeting her! Not only did they get Halle's name wrong but their comment is just ludicrous- and also suggests they have never seen a pair of boobs before! Here's some fun facts about boobs...

  1. Everyone's boobs are different. Different shapes, weights, sizes. No one has the same pair of boobs. 
  2. The vast majority of people have one boob larger than the other- usually this is the left boob. No one's boobs are symmetrical because guess what? The human body isn't symmetrical. 
  3. Not all boobs are pert and perky. The larger and heavier a persons breasts are, the lower they can sit than smaller boobs, thanks to a little thing called gravity. (However this isn't always the case, of course!) This is why we wear bra's- to push them up and make them look how society has told us our boobs are supposed to look. 
  4. Not everyone wears a bra to support their boobs and this can cause them to look "saggy" or "lopsided" or "uneven" or "wonky". This is okay, by the way.
  5. You don't have to comment on anyone's boobs but you're own. So if you have nothing nice to say about someone's boobs, it's probably best you don't say anything at all. 


I can't believe that it's 2016 and people- especially those of the male variety- seem to believe women's boobs are rock solid lumps that stay perky and don't move around no matter what. Spoiler alert- boobs move when we walk, when we run, when we roll from our back to our side in bed. They move, and because of this, they don't always look like Katie Price's. Okay? 

Can we seriously just stop victimising people for their bodies? Like, why do people actually care so much about what someone else looks like? Focus on your own body, your own health and your own happiness- and leave other people alone! It's really not a difficult concept at all. 

Love from,
Florence Grace




*DISCLAIMER. Everyone's boobs are different (hence the point of this post), and you may find that your boobs don't fit the "criteria" I have mentioned. Everyone's boobs are different and that is OKAY!*

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
