Can you believe the original Charmed has been on for more than 20 Years?! I feel so old when I find out how long ago it was since my favourite shows aired. I grew up watching The Halliwells and loved every minute. I still watch reruns had have decided to watch the new reboot, i have aired my thoughts out on Twitter about the reboot at various times but the OG Charmed will forever be the best. Completing this tag really makes me want to rewatch Charmed again. Time to invest in the new Blu Ray's.

WHY I LOVE THE FIFTH ELEMENT

I'm going to go full on geek today because The Fifth Element is my all time favourite film. Ever. I watched it when it originally came out and I'm pretty sure I saw it at the cinema with my parents. 

I think I can quote every word in this film as well as the divine language which Leeloo speaks. Although I don't have much merchandise, I do have the book adaptation, my own multi-pass, the PS1 game (it was awful and a proper game needs to be made but I still played it religiously) and a Leeloo pop vinyl but I'm always saving for new items to collect. How can you not like this film, it's a cult classic now?!

GAMES I WANT REMASTERED

Everywhere you turn there are remasters being announced in the gaming world, from Spyro to Resident Evil 2. I'm always excited when one is announced. We've come so far in technology and graphics, why not update older games and I do love having the option of powering up a PS1 and playing Crash Bandicoot but also have the option to play in high def on the PS4. Mostly publishers or gaming production company's have ceased to trade or licensing laws prevent certain games from being re-made which is a shame but that doesn't stop us day dreaming about them.

MY UNDERRATED FILMS PT1: MR RIGHT

I've only seen Mr Right, three times and it has to be one of my top 10 films and one of the most underrated films I've seen in a while. The film came out in 2016 and stars Sam Rockwell as Frances, a hitman who kills those who hire him, Anna Kendrick as Martha, who captures the heart of Frances and Tim Roth as Hopper, one of the bad guys. Its such a cute film that it makes me smile all the way through.

I've had to include gifs in this post! (they look better on a phone haha)

VITAMIN E MIST AND SERUM

When it comes to skincare, I'm the absolute worst.  I always forget to moisturise and for the better part of the last few months I've been hardly wearing a full face of makeup, just adding mascara and filling in eyebrows when needed.  And since it's autumn and winter is just around the corner, I need to take care of my skin.

7 COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WICCA

Ever since I can remember I've always been drawn to the world of Wicca and Witchcraft. I guess it doesn't help that I was a fan of Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Sabrina the Teenage Witch among other films and tv depicting witches but for years I've never fully embraced Wicca because these words get questionable looks and glances whenever someone mentions them and I don't want people to shy away from me. People get spooked and don't want to take the time to learn the truth.  Plus it's quite an expensive religion (crystals, athemes and spell books all add up) and I don't wanna meddle in things without knowing what I'm doing, I'm not an experienced wiccan. I've only ever researched but I kinda wanna bring you on a journey with me. 

25 THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES

There was a hashtag on twitter forever ago and this has been sitting in my drafts waiting for its moment to be picked. #bloggerproblems

BABY LOSS AWARENESS & WAVE OF LIGHT

Hello everyone. Something quite different today. Just a little warning that this post will have the topic of miscarriages and baby loss.

HORIZON CHASE TURBO | GAMING

Horizon Chase Turbo is a game I've had in my PlayStation Library for a while from a monthly PlayStation plus games but never fully downloaded and played until recently when three of us wanted to play a silly fun game. Oh boy did we get addicted to racing each other. I've said in the past that I've wanted to incorporate more gaming posts into my blog so here I am.

OHANA ISLAND | Mobile Game Review

Recently I haven’t been playing any mobile games, usually because my phone memory is full from photos and other apps! But I’ve been playing a lot of Ohana Island lately and I wanted to share this cute mobile game with you!

THING'S WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT... | Book Review*

Thing's We Didn't Talk About When I Was A Girl by Jeannie Vanasco is such a powerful read. I've mentioned lately how I've been reading memoirs and loving them and this is no exception. Since reading from day one I haven't been able to put it down. Warnings of Rape and Sexual Assault.

ALL BAR ONE | EVENT

So I got invited to the opening of All Bar One in Newcastle. I was so excited, originally we were suppose to go to the event on the 4th of October but it was moved to the 10th! I told my mum all about it and she dug our this lovely black strapless dress for me to wear. I took a +1 with me and that was Tony. Perfect opportunity for a date night! Warning this post is picture heavy.

ME, MYSELF AND ANXIETY | #mentalhealthawareness

During my teen years, I suffered from Anxiety. I didn't know it back then and it's taken me till my late twenties to realize and deal with my mental illness. "Oh you're just a shy girl" , "You just need to come out of your shell", "No need to worry" "Get out more" Just a few words that have been endlessly repeated of the course of my growing pains. I was a shy girl. But that shyness turned into an illness. 

TV SHOWS TO WATCH IN AUTUMN

I love a good slob about on the sofa with a fluffy blanket, cup of tea and just binge watch shows after a tiresome week of work. There's something about watching TV shows in autumn that just give me a warm fuzzy feeling and usually all the best shows come back on our TV's during fall.

JAWBREAKERS AND STARS

Hello my ghouls, my boos, my.. oh I don't know. Hey everyone. Just to point out, I'm not really happy with the outcome of these photos but I tried, I may retake them soon. Anyhoo.. I've been so excited to try a Jeffree Star eye shadow palette for the longest time, so when I won a competition a few months ago I just had to see what all the fuss was. I've tried Jeffree's liquid lipsticks before and loved them but I hadn't tried the eye shadow or anything else. So when my package came, there was a mini jawbreaker palette, a liquid lipstick, a lip scrub and lip gloss. But today I'm just going to be talking about the mini palette.

MY FAVE WITCHY READS

Since spoopy spooky season is upon us, I thought I'd share my favourite witchy reads! Usually you will find my nose in the book of a good thriller, a YA novel or lately, a memoir. But one thing I do love is Fantasy and Magic books. I love many fictions that have adventures about witches and supernatural beings and I can't wait to find the next novel full of magic and mystery.

I hope you find a magical new book for you to cosy up to and wish you could be a part of like me. Here are a few of my fave witchy reads.

THE HORROR TAG

Park your brooms at the door, gather around the cauldron my children, it's time for another tag post!
This time it's dedicated to Horror Films! Get to know my tastes a bit better. And.. -puts ghost face mask on-  I want to know what your favourite scary film is. Let me know in the comments witches!

GILMORE GIRLS TAG

So I've done quite a few tags, from Buffy to Harry Potter and I came across this Gilmore Girls tag by Abigail and I squealed and instantly wanted to do this for my blog. It's perfect timing as autumn is here and the Gilmore's is a perfect show to watch while getting comfy on the sofa with a big blanket and a nice cup of spiced chai latte (or whatever autumn drink you like to guzzle)

PIZZA PUNKS

I recently won a competition on facebook to win a Pizza and a Cocktail at Pizza Punks in Newcastle. Bring a friend, they said. So I did. Pizza Punks have been around since 2018. Fresh to the restaurant scene in canny old Geordieland. My friend was so excited that I had won this competition "You win everything!" I do have a bit of luck on my side. "I hope you're taking me" Of Course I'd be taking my best friend. I love our friend dates together and this was a perfect opportunity.

SLEEP by C.L Taylor | BOOK REVIEW

I've been a fan of Cally for a while now and she's quite easily one of my favourite authors. I won The Treatment in 2017 and prior to that I read The Missing and loved both. So when I read she had a new book out, I just had to get on amazon and order it. Few days later and voila, I had a copy in my hands.

ANOTHER 31 SPOOKY FILMS FOR HALLOWEEN

When I attempted to blog everyday in October in 2017 I made a list of 31 Spooky Films for Halloween (Actually I messed up and there is only 29 films on the list and no one told me I missed flipping two) and now I'm back with another 31 (yes I counted this time) films you can watch through Spooky Season. 

OCTOBER GOALS | BLOGTOBER

Okay so lets not recap any previous goals I've posted on my blog before because none of them got completed or even attempted. Everything usually ended up on the back burner due to life and various events that prevented such goals from being accomplished but I'm hoping to achieve the following this October.
