Today was nice.

I just wanted to do a chatty post with you guys today, because I've had a super nice day and everything has just been lovely, so I wanted to share that positivity with you guys (also, I use my blog like a diary, so it's nice to record what's been going on with me to look back on in a year or five).

So I woke up at 9am this morning, undisturbed by my sister who had woken up at 5:30am praise the lord (I should have guessed then that it was going to be a good day!). The sun was shining, I had time to shower, catch up on yesterday's YouTube videos and Hollyoaks and just relax before work, which was nice and something I don't normally get to do.

I was dreading work because it was a five hour shift and I thoroughly despise those. However, it actually went really quickly! I had a nice little catch up with Lauren, who I don't get to work with much but who always makes me laugh. We had several attractive lads come into Topman which doesn't usually happen so us ladies were incredibly entertained and I got to dress some mannequins, which I love doing! So the day actually went really fast.

After work, I got to have my weekly catch up with my youngest sister and we bought some treats for my mum too (buying presents always makes me feel good!). We went for dinner at my dad's and watched our weekly dose of ghost documentaries whilst he helped me with some writing, because it as all about sports and I had no clue.

Now, I'm just relaxing in bed, writing away and listening to my July playlist and feeling just very content with life. I love days like today where everything just goes well. I hope you've all had a good day- let me know what you've been up to!

Love from,
Florence Grace

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
