WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS/MY 21ST

By -
Hey guys, long time no speak! I can't believe it's been over two weeks since I wrote a blog post and whilst it has felt strange not posting every single day, I can tell you I have not missed it. It's not because I don't love blogging, because I do, but I think I just really needed- and deserved!- the break!

Now I'm back and am really excited for some of the content I have planned for 2017! Admittedly, today's post is a bit of a basic one, filled with a lot more photo's and a lot less writing, but I promise I do have some really good posts planned out! Today I just wanted to share with you the gifts my lil' gang (BJ, Alec and Carda) got me for Christmas and for my 21st birthday! Now, yes, my 21st birthday was over 2 months ago but I didn't get to see BJ and Carda until the 8th January to open their gifts for me- and there was 21 of them! The pair of them (aka, Carda) had been collecting gifts for pretty much the entire year leading up to my birthday and I was utterly overwhelmed with how thoughtful and lovely all my gifts were. They all have a back story, as do all my Christmas gifts from them and from Alec, so I wanted to share them on the blog with you guys!


21st Birthday gifts from BJ and Carda
They know how much I loved my Kylie Lip Kits, so this gorgeous, nude, liquid lip set was ideal for me! 



Ever the nail fanatic, I absolutely adored getting this vanity case full of nail-related goodies! Particularly the JLS nail transfers...
How cute is this little stationery set for me?


These pink high heels threw me off at first, I thought they looked a bit weird in shape...it turns out that they're speakers! SO me, and so good too!





I love unicorns. Simple as that.


I've cut off so many people in 2016 and I want to get fit, this pink punching bag with the option to put  photo of someones face in is perfect for me right? 


How cute is this though? 


Pink, alcohol...yep, this is fab.




How sweet is this organisational memo board Carda made for me? I thought this was the cutest thing ever!


Best friends forever x


I love Gossip Girl, you'll all know me and the gang have regular game nights, so this is the perfect gift!




These saucy post it's are right up my street! 





This gorgeous Alice in Wonderland book is definitely one of my favourite gifts!




Christmas gifts from BJ, Carda and Alec!





How sweet is this gift? BJ knows I love having my hard boiled eggs for lunch so bought me these egg moulds! 




Ricarda called this a 'glitter box', everything in it was all sparkly!!



A "house warming" gift from Alec for my new home!


So as you can see, I was incredibly spoiled by my wonderful best friends and I was totally overwhelmed by how much love and thought had gone into each of my gifts. I love my friends so much and I am so grateful for all of these lovely presents!

Did you get- or even give- an incredibly thoughtful gift for Christmas? Let me know what it was in the comments below! 

Love from,
Florence Grace

The final words to my ex.

By -

Today's blog post is late, I know, but that's because it's been very hard for me to write.  This is going to be the last time I write about my ex boyfriend and my previous relationship. Effectively, I am giving it all a final goodbye.  Of course  I know my relationship ended on New Year's Eve. Unofficially, it probably ended long before then. I haven't seen my ex since 27th of December, since last year, which is a really weird thought. And whilst I had accepted it was over, I had a teeny tiny part of me that still loved him and hoped we would get back together.  I had deleted him from all social media except facebook, boxed up all of my things from him and taken down all of the photos. I got a new phone (by coincidental timing) and did not keep his number, nor did I send him my new one. But I kept him on facebook so we had some way of getting in touch should we need to talk about anything (getting back together).  And then I was told he wa...

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

By -
It never fails to make me smile when I get nominated for a bloggers award out of the blue, and it never fails to make me smile when I am called an inspiration- making my nomination for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award from A Blogs Life one that made me overly happy indeed! A Blogs Life is a very unique styled blog, and the only one of it's kind that I follow- it is run by all the family, which I think is incredibly sweet! So thank you to the whole lot of you for nominating me- I appreciate it more than you know! The Rules 1) After being nominated, write a post, starting off with a mention of the blogger who nominated you, as a small thank you to them! 2) Have a bit of fun and come up with seven facts about yourself.  3) Nominate 15 bloggers that inspire you for the award! The problem with being nominated for bloggers awards, is that they nearly always ask you for facts about yourself! On top of this, I recently did a post named "50 facts about me" ...

#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 -...
