The good things in life

By -

There's no denying the news this year has been pretty upsetting. The news of the last couple of weeks has been especially gloomy. It has been getting to me, although I've been trying not to let it, but I feel that it has affected some of my blog posts, giving them more of a sombre tone than normal! So for today's post (which is so late again, sorry!) I thought I'd write about some of the things in life that I really love. 

Ice cold coke. 
Seriously. That is the good stuff. This evening, me and Alex went to McDonald's just to get an ice cold coke and it was so worth it. 

coca-cola soccer hot yes delicious

The smell of cut grass.
In the summer, this aroma becomes more and more frequent as I walk through town on the way to work and I absolutely love it! 

Clean body, pj's and bed. 
You know when you have a shower, then put on some clean pyjama's and then get into a freshly made bed with clean (even better, new) bed sheets? That feeling is one of the best ever. 



Special texts.
I mean the kind of texts people send you out of the blue that put a smile on your face. The other day, my pal Alec randomly messaged me about a Gossip Girl episode and it was so unexpected but it really made me smile haha!



Being rewarded.
You know when you're putting your all into work and it feels like no one notices or appreciates it? And then suddenly, someone does? Yeah, that's a pretty good feeling. 



Your pet cuddling you.
Especially when you have an anti social pet, like my two kittens. When they appear out of the blue and snuggle down with me it is such a surprise but so lovely too!

Finding money in an old purse (or a totally random place).
Nothing feels better than finding an unexpected tenner, does it! I once spotted a £20 note lying at the end of my drive way and that was the best thing ever haha! 

What do you think are some of the good things in life? Let me know in the comments below!

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
