Trigger Warning: Eating Disorders
Hey everyone, it’s Lana!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since our first Artsy Fartsy event!
This year, I’m so honoured that we get to work with as one of our chosen charities.
As some people may know, for 10 years I lived with Anorexia & Bulimia, which in 2018 left me hospitalised at just 7 stone and needing treatment for heart problems. At 20 years old, I had hit rock bottom. My eating disorder had taken over my life and didn’t care if I lived or died.
Fast forward 5 years and I am forever grateful I didn’t give in to the voice in my head which told me to give up. Whilst I count myself as very lucky, unfortunately eating disorders still claim the lives of many men and women today. I am so honoured to be able use Artsy Fartsy as a platform to raise awareness to and give back to a charity of whom played such an important part in my recovery journey.
Myself and Sarah have shared many a laugh, cry and bottle of wine in our friendship so far but Artsy Fartsy is definitely my favourite thing we get to share. We are very proud to be able to put on an event which raises awareness for two very personal and incredible causes and are very thankful to everyone involved for helping make it happen💜
We have an incredibly talented line-up for you this year and I hope you can all make it!
Lana xx
