Nifty 90's

A couple weeks ago, my friend Shannon sent me a link to a whole page on fun stuff from the 1990's. I had so much fun browsing through that list that I decided to make my own. Here are my favorite things from the 90's:

NSYNC was, by far, my favorite boy band in the 90's. Many sleepovers were spent discussing which of these boys we thought was the hottest, which usually ended up with us deciding that it was impossible to choose who was hotter between Lance and JC. 

Caboodles makeup cases were so cool! It seemed like every girl had at least one of these in the 90's. If you had enough makeup to fill more than one, you were really cool! 

When Beanie Babies first came out, I HAD to collect all of them. I remember waiting in front of stores with my mom and dad to go dig through new shipments of these things! I think I collected well over 200 of them before the trend died out. 

At one point, my backpack was covered in these things! I was obsessed with feeding and playing with my GigaPets. They were pretty awesome.

I lived for new episodes of "Full House." I think I have actually seen every single episode of this show at least 20 times. 

"Titanic" was the first PG-13 movie I was allowed to watch. I remember going to the movie theater with my mom and dad and thinking that it was probably one of the coolest movies I had ever seen. 


"Clueless" is one of those movies that I have watched over and over again. It was a favorite at many sleepovers and continues to be one of my favorite movies. 

"So tell me what ya want, what ya really really want..." My friends and I knew all the words to Wanna Be and thought the Spice Girls were pretty awesome! 

I got a Sega Genesis for Christmas when I was in 2nd grade, and I thought it was one of the coolest things I had ever been given. I remember spending hours playing Sonic the Hedgehog Pinball and Dashing Deperados. 

I watched "Tiny Toon Adventures" every Sunday morning and did an awesome impression of Elmyra! Too bad this show isn't still on...

"Pinky and the Brain" was a great show! It's too bad Brain never succeeded in taking over the world... it might be a better place if he had. 

I miss the days when having the most LipSmackers made you the coolest girl. I do not, however, miss the boys in my class stealing and eating my LipSmackers, though. That was pretty nasty!

I have so many other great memories from the 90's, too! It was a fun time, where I loved talking for hours on the phone with my friends and had no cares! Yup, those were the days!
