Cool Auntie Grace!
16 August 2019 • babies, best friends, cool auntie, twentysomethings
Recently,
an old Black Eyed Peas song came on the radio and I found myself
singing as I drove along Hastings seafront; a flashback hit me suddenly, of me and some of my best friends at secondary
school, dancing and singing along to this particular song. I let the
memory fill me up and realised, as a smile stretched across my face,
that those friends of mine – who I once sat with in English and
Maths lessons, doodling all over our exercise books and sampling
sachet lattes brewed by our beloved Drama teacher at break times – are now in serious relationships and have all very recently had babies.
Yep. I can honestly say three of my close friends from secondary school – the ones I'd sing in the car with and wander in the park with and spill sugary coffee all over myself in fits of laughter with – are now happily engaged and each have a baby. How crazy is that?
A quick Where and How? with Cat Clarke, author of 'Letting Go'!
6 August 2019 • Barrington Stoke, bookish, Cat Clarke, how what where when
I am delighted to be posting this cheeky little interview with the wonderful author Cat Clarke, about her latest publication. Let's not waste any time – dive in!
Hey,
lovely Cat! As you know, I am a certified Clarke super fan, so imagine
my excitement finding out you made a novella with a publisher I truly
love, Barrington Stoke!? I am jazzed af. Anyway, here are your quick
fire questions about 'Letting Go'…
Using social media for good; chronic pain, invisible illness, mental health and MORE!
2 August 2019 • chronic illness, influencers, social media, the brain tumour charity
I
am so thrilled to be giving a teeny talk at a social media workshop
held by The Brain Tumour Charity today; it’ll be great to share my
wisdom with the Young Ambassadors and the rest of the team – also,
let’s face it, social media and that brilliant charity are equally
enormous things in my life, so put the two together and OOOFFTT.
So,
here’s what I plan on saying at the offices in Farnborough (we’ll
see if I actually manage to deliver it coherently)… I’m
calling this little presentation ‘The Importance of Using Social
Media for Good’.

1 August 2019 • about me, facts
Hi,
I’m Grace.
I
have a new found love for antique/second hand furniture and home
wares, ‘Toy Story 4’ made me cackle and cry, days on the beach
make me so happy and chill; throwing a frisbee, walking and swimming
are the only means of exercise I really enjoy, I’m getting better
at the whole eBay thing, my last tattoo for a while is in a few days,
a G&T with strawberries in is quite magical, I now use
biodegradable vegan condoms, I want to properly learn tarot, I
recently posted my first ever AD on social media, I’m planning a
big trip next year, I turn 26 today, and I am just about ready to
tackle my mid-to-late twenties.
I love that people still read these, and want to know more about me.
