It's my life.

You know what really annoys me? 


People concerning themselves with my business. 

tv the office eye roll not amused

Now, as a blogger/writer etc. I am totally aware that I leave my life open to speculation from the public, both from people I do and don't know. I have completely open social media sites in order to be able to instantly connect with people and to promote my work- I would not be able to do this with private accounts- and so people from all over the world can, and do, see everything. Selfies, drunken nights out, achievements, family days, my cats, new purchases, just my every day life. And of course, it leaves people able to comment on it all. 

There are a few comments that creep up- usually indirectly- about the things that I post. Who does she think she is, her boobs are saggy, you still look fat, stop thinking you're better than anyone else, how boring to go out every weekend... the list goes on. Now thankfully, after undergoing online abuse such as this for going on 6 years, I have grown exceptionally thick skin. I am now able to *mostly* filter out the bad comments and let them go right over my head without giving them a second thought (once I've pressed the block button on that account of course!). However, there is one thing I'd like to know...

Why does my life bother you so much? Why do you care if I'm not wearing a bra, or how my boobs look? What concern is it of yours if I go out partying every weekend, after working a 5 day week with numerous jobs? What do you achieve by commenting on my weight or body shape in a negative way? It doesn't particularly bother me so much as baffle me that people's own lives are so dull they want to be completely wrapped up in mine! I mean really, who actually has the time to comment on every single aspect of someone else's life? I definitely don't! 

message trolls

I'm 20 years old. I'm single. I make my own money. I live my own life...and therefore, I can do whatever the heck I want! If I want to party every weekend, I will! If I want to wear crop tops despite being 'fat', I will! If I want to wear an outfit without a bra, I will! And no matter how many times anyone comments on any aspect of my life, I'm not going to change it just for them. I'm happy with my life and that's all that matters! I know I leave my life open to comments, but that doesn't mean you have to comment- especially if it's something nasty! If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all, right?

If you have enough time in your day to comment on every little thing another person is doing then I suggest you find yourself a hobby...maybe blogging, to get off of your chest all that's really pissing you off? Just an idea!

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
