Book review: Andrea Barber - Full Circle

In my childhood Full house was my favorite sitcom along with Fresh prince of Bel Air and Family matters. I really enjoyed watching one of these shows every afternoon. One episode doesn’t take you much time, unless you’re binge-watching. Content is often funny, relatable, relaxing and doesn’t require much thinking. I’m always happy when I accidently catch a re-run, it always brings back happy memories.


I was excited when I saw the announcement on YouTube that another cast member of Full House will publish her book. Andrea Barber who played goofy and often special next door neighbor with specific clothing style decided to write her biography. She was never my favorite, I preferred DJ and Stephanie, but I always admired her confidence. I mean nothing can break Kimmy Gibbler!


Sadly in reality this is not completely true. Andrea went through some very tough time in her life. Being a child actor was not easy. Kids in school didn’t like her that much and she was often being bullied. She was very insecure and never felt that she fits in any kind of situation. Andrea is battling with anxiety her whole life, but she finally accepted her and her illness and it got easier. She also experienced tough divorce which was is some way a consequence of her mental problems.

Running and therapy saved her. She could finally breathe again and found her purpose. And then another great thing happened – sequel of Full house, Fuller house! Kimmy got another chance to shine and spread her confidence. Returning to filming was very emotional to her, but also challenging and fulfilling. She never acted as adult before. She describes Fuller house cast as one big happy family. They are all very connected and she couldn’t imagine better working environment.


I really liked this book. Andrea’s writing is very good, she even studied literature. I must admit I expected more behind the scene information and anecdotes from show tapings. I find this book inspirational and would definitely recommend it. I actually like the contrast between Kimmy and Andrea, we can learn from both of them.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
