Love from, Florence Grace

Anyone who knows me will know that I am incredibly career-orientated. I'm all about being a girlboss, I'm always trying to make more money, looking into new business ideas, learning how I can further myself and become better at what I'm already doing. I am definitely a go-getter  and that's not something that's going to change in 2018- in fact, it's only going to become more apparent.  I've got so many ideas whirling around my brain about things that I'd like to achieve over the next year in terms of my career. I'm not going to set myself any solid goals (for one of the first times in my life!) because I don't want to feel disappointed in myself if I don't achieve them. However, I am going to make a list of these plans (in a notebook as well as in this post!) and speak them into existence and just hope  and pray  that they spring to life! So, what do I want out of my career in 2018? 1- A book Yep, thats right! I wan...

Summer is on it's way- at last ! I always think that I love winter more than summer, but when it gets to this time of year and events are planned, holidays are booked, the weather gets warmer and the days get longer ...well, I just know that I'm a summer girl at heart! I've got a pretty good summer ahead of me this year, so I thought I'd share with you a list of all the things I'm looking forward to about Summer 2016 ! 1) Holiday! This year I'm going on holiday with my three best pals, BJ, Alec and Ricarda. We have hired out our own private cottage, right on the beach, and I couldn't be more excited ! Not only because I get to see my friends for five consecutive days rather than one day every other week but also because I've never been on holiday with friends before! I can't wait! 2) Gigs and festivals! Whilst I'm not camping at any festivals this year, I am attending two for one day each, and having never been to a ...

When I was younger, I wanted to be married with children by the time I was 20, and had decided I would not have children later than 25, because I wanted to be a young, pretty, cool mum like my mum was. I think that was what influenced this naive idea- the fact that my parents were married with children by the time they were 22. This, and the fact that a lot  of Jacqueline Wilson books I was reading (she was my favourite author) featured young, single mums who were pretty and cool and all had babies when they were 16.  It wasn't until I reached 16 myself that I realised how far off 20 was- the answer? Not very far. I had started to consider university and further education. I couldn't possibly have a baby whilst at uni! I made calculations in my head. Finish uni by 21, baby by 22, 23 and still be a young, cool mum with a degree.  Then I reached 18. 20 was creeping ever closer. I had given up on the idea of uni, much to my school and my parents disappointment...
