Remember when I asked everyone for TV show recommendations because I was nearing the end of Charmed and feared for my emotional wellbeing? Yeah… silence. Total silence 😭 Now the show is over, I don’t know what to do with myself, and I’m currently in the deeply dramatic phase where I’m mourning the characters and wondering where they are now.

Anyway, while we’re on the topic of iconic TV moments, Martin Lawrence is heading to Smart Financial Centre at Sugar Land this June 🎤 If you grew up watching Martin, this one’s going to hit you right in the nostalgia. Enter to win a pair of tickets!
