Throwback Thursday: Charmed!


Here's another throwback for you and I'm really excited to talk about this one! During the girl gang chat on Monday we talked about childhood heroes. Before I continue, if you don't know the girl gang I'll explain. Jemma from dork face blog created this chat and its became a great success! It's on Mondays at 6pm UK time, but for me it's 1pm US easy cost time. There's no secret my mom is my hero, she's the best. But the first question was about fictional heroes from books, television, movies, etc. I didn't have to think twice, I immediately thought about Charmed! This was my favorite show and even though it's not on anymore I still watch it. It comes on TNT in the mornings and it's also on Netflix. I have every season expect 8 on DVD. I'm still searching for it, I guess everyone wanted it. I chose charmed because they proved that women can save the day, kick ass, and look good doing it! It's true, I faithfully watched this show every time it came on. I have laughed, cried, got angry, and yelled while watching this show. As you can see I was pretty invested. 
 
It's important for girls and women to know that it's ok to be independent and we can save the day. That's what charmed did for so many people, it gave confidence and hope. I feel like charmed broke out of the stereotype of girls not being able to protect themselves. I loved all of the characters, but my favorite was Prue (Shannon Doherty)! I loved watching Shannon on Beverly Hills 90210. Anyways I felt like I could relate to her, I'm the oldest between me and my sister. I am the protective older sister who becomes invincible, when sticking up for her younger sister. She was cool and badass at the same time. So when her character was gone that made me pissed off. I really need to calm down, but that's how upset I was. You didn't realize what happened to Prue, till after the first episode of the fourth season. I loved Piper (played by Holly Marie Combs) and how she was always the peacemaker, I guess I could relate to her too! She was always trying to see everyone's point of view, she was very understanding. Plus her power to freeze time was pretty awesome. Then there's the youngest and carefree sister Phoebe (Alyssa Milano). I remember watching reruns of who's the boss, when I was little. A fun fact for you all, my mom named my sister after her what a coincidence! Anyway she was the fighter as in she was the one who practiced martial arts, on top of her premonition power. These three changed my prospective on women during prime time television. Even when Paige's (Rose McGowan) character came in. I was a little skeptical because I missed the character of Prue. But it was something new and I enjoyed it. They were still on top and for eight years at that. Even though charmed is a throwback, it means so much more. Charmed will forever be that show you can't get enough of. I sound so emotional right now and for no reason, I'm weird! 
 
I hope you enjoyed reading this throwback and let me know if you watched Charmed!

  1. Charmed was one of my favorite shows in high school. Phoebe was always my favorite but I loved how Piper stepped up into the older sister role after Prue's death.

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...

Self Love Is So Important!

  Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are.    I use to think I was I wa...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

  Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit !     I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...
