The Good Ole Days | Vol. Two

It’s time. Time for a flashback to my favorite decade – the 90’s. For those who may be new here, I’m a total 90’s girl. The 90’s was the first full decade of my life. I was old enough to wear jellies, slap bracelets, my favorite songs were most likely by The Real McCoy, and my favorite TV show was Full House . Since I have such a passion for the tackiest and most hilarious years in history, I’ll be doing this series to share some of my favorite bits and pieces. Maybe I’ll start a link-up for this? After all, I know I’m not the only 90’s lover!

I have a great story about how I wore my jellies. Remind me to tell you one day.

The only Christmas present I wanted in the 90’s. Especially in that silver jacket.

I have a little story for you before I share the last one. A couple weeks ago, my nephew was over visiting so we all went down in the basement and I turned on the Dance Central game for Kinect. In case you don’t know by now, the game has a ton of songs and dance moves that you’re told to mimic. While it’s not exactly “dancing” it’s a ton of fun and I decided to try out the dance to “Poison.”

Let me tell you… the dance moves were straight from 1990 and I was literally having the time of my life. You’ll have to try it to believe it. Yes, I know I’m a total nerd.
I decided I should bring back my dancing days and start taking classes again. This time, I’ll be taking old school hip-hop. I need to brush up on my Roger Rabbit. I’ll probably just go to a class I found some footage of on YouTube. Check it out
here. Please watch the guy in front. He kills it.

Oh, I also got my hair cut yesterday which I’m pretty excited about. First time since April. Don’t worry – I didn’t get a bowl cut or huge, wispy bangs. I keep my hair cuts pretty current with the times. All I’ll say for now is that it was Lauren Conrad-inspired :)

Hope I left you with a fun trip down Memory Lane today!

Yesterday I was at the mall with a gf and got knocked into (Christmas rush?!) but my first reaction was "How Rude" then when my friend started giggling I said "Cut it out" (include the hand motions) and my friend totally didn't get it...
