I was sitting eating my porridge this morning, in a day dream and suddenly I got this wave of all the things I grew up around being a 90's child and how come we don't have them anymore?
I started to go into deep thought rhyming of the mountain of things that I used to have from putting Sun-In in my hair thinking I was going to be peroxide blonde and wanting my Mother to buy every box of Kelloggs box of Corn flakes so I could get every colour refelctor for my bike becuase I wanted to be the girl on the road with the most reflectors!
So if you grew up in the 90's you definatley will remember these....
- Going on holiday and coming back with a coloured hair braid and leaving it in for well past it's time
- Owning a ridiculous amount of scrunchies and those tacky hairbands with your name in glitter on them
- You always wanted to be on 'Fun House' with Pat Sharp and the twins
- Collecting pogs, stickers & fancy papers
- Watched Sharkie & George, Count Duckula & Trap Door (Cause there was something down there)
- Went to The Body Shop to put on White Musk or any sort of Vanilla Perfume
- Put wella colour streaks in your hair
- Owned a shell tracksuit or the tracksuit bottoms with the popper buttons
- You owned or wanted a Bennetton jumper and a Fruit of the Loom T- shirt of jumper was a must.
