It's 11pm...

By -


It's 11pm and I am only just finding the time to write my daily blog. Today has been absolutely packed. 

I was up until 2am this morning doing- guess what- work. I slept until 10, making sure I got in my 8 hours of course, and then it was straight up to work. And when I say straight up to work, I mean posting on social media for Love from... and beautstar.com. Following this I worked from 12-5 at Topshop and let me tell you, it was hectic! It's normally pretty quiet, but for some reason customers were swarming in today- and we had delivery today too!

Once I came home it was straight back to my social media work, planning out my finances from now until Christmas, dinner and then going for a walk to try and reach my 10,000 steps (spoiler alert- I didn't) and then back home to write some freelance articles, a blog post for beautstar.com and my own blog post. 

I still need to shower and watch the latest episode of Hollyoaks, before going to be so I can get enough sleep before starting work at 9 tomorrow morning!

People think I have a really easy life, working from home, just playing around on social media and blogs, but let me tell you it's really not as easy as it seems. Whilst yes, it's more enjoyable than, I don't know, working in retail or in a pub, yes I can sleep late or stay up late (depending on the shifts of my other job!) and yes I can work in my pyjamas or from the comfort of my own bed, I still have to work. I can't use my own social media and do nothing else, I have to use it professionally, on behalf of others. I have a set word count to hit for my writing every day and I can't sleep until it's done. I have to live a life outside of work too. It is actually pretty difficult to cram it all on! 

But somehow, today, I've managed (just about!). And yes, it had meant a pretty crappy blog post for you today, but I hope you can forgive me and that you understand that I really do so much in the hours of the day I have! 

How is your week going? Are you all being busy little bee's too? Let me know in the comments below!

Love from,
Florence Grace

    I know the feeling. Some people think I have an easy life because I blog, write for a number of publications and manage social media but it's a lot of hard work! It's not glamourous.

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
