This past weekend, our friends threw a Christmas bash... 90's style. My evening preparations consisted of sequins, hair spray, teasing of the hair, and youtubing videos of how to get the Kelly Kapowski look. When we found out it was 90's themed, I immediately thought of my mom who had the biggest hair you've ever seen and wore sequined dresses to just about every work party I can think of {thanks for being such a bombshell, mom!}. Pandora 90's Pop was playing the entire night and by the time I got home from the party, I had the station added to my Pandora account. UHHH-mazing. Isn't it funny how 15 years can go by without hearing the song and all of a sudden you remember every word? Before our white elephant gift exchange, Cam had everyone share their favorite thing from the 90's. Why is it so much fun for me to reminisce about those things? Those were THE days. I decided to compile an entire list. Feel free to add.
In no particular order... the best {and sort of the worst} things about the 90's according to me:
2. Pogs - so stupid and I freaking loved them.
3. "Power Rangers" - Yellow Ranger fo life.
4. Doug Funny
