20 Iconic Hairstyles That Every 90s Kid Remembers Trying (And Failing) To Recreate Themselves

By Tanya
Growing up, every generation has their own styles that seemed to take over. However, in the 90s, everything seemed to jump into hyper-drive, probably because of all of the media that was targeting the young people in the country. It seemed like the 90s had about 8,000 different trends that popped up, but it was the hairstyles that really were the most important part. You can wear whatever clothes you wanted, but if your hair wasn't perfect then what was the point? These 20 hairstyles were the most iconic of their time, and we all had them at one

By Meg
It was every kid's dream: go away to camp for the summer with all your friends, and absolutely no supervision. Camp Nowhere showed us what it would be like to be left to your own devices, with the only adult around a weird, in hindsight extremely creepy, former teacher. The movie focuses on Morris "Mud" Himmel, who dreads being sent to computer camp for another summer. He and his friends come up with the plan to invent fake camps and convince their parents to send them there. They blackmail former teacher Dennis Van Welker, played by Christopher Lloyd, into helping

10 Daytime Talk Shows We Always Watched When We Stayed Home From School

By Tanya
When you were a kid, staying home from school because you were sick, or because there was a snow day meant one thing: Daytime TV. There weren't going to be good shows on for hours because most networks assumed you'd be at school. Obviously they didn't consider that some of us were going to be constantly sick, so we needed something to watch. Instead of watching age appropriate shows, we were instead stuck watching the talk shows intended for a much older audience. But don't even pretend like you didn't love it. We would sit there for hours while our

The Story Behind The Saddest "Fresh Prince" Scene Is Not What You Think

By Awa
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was one of our favorite shows while growing up in the 90s. For six seasons, Will Smith and the rest of the hilarious cast made us laugh week after week with their shenanigans, but they also got our lives flipped-turned upside down whenever they addressed serious topics. The show wasn't afraid to tackle issues like drugs, sex, drunk driving, sexism, racism, and violence to teach us an important lesson or two about life. Some of the episodes even made us cry. Let's refresh our memories:There was the time Uncle Phil told Will about the

An Old Lisa Frank Factory Is Up For Sale, So Now We Can Finally See Inside

By Tanya
If you've ever owned a piece of Lisa Frank merchandise, you know just how magical the brand really is. They aren't afraid to make the most outrageously colorful items using the most preposterous characters, and all of us 80s and 90s kids were so grateful for each and every creation. Growing up with Lisa Frank meant that we all had this idealistic rainbow world on our binders and in our hearts. We loved all the bears, unicorns, penguins, and puppies that made our school days a little bit more exciting. But where did they come from? Where did Lisa Frank

By Tanya
Some of the fashion choices we made as kids were questionable, sure, but others were honestly completely mind boggling. How many of you remember 'HyperColor' shirts? If you really think about them, it's hard to remember why we thought they were a good idea at all. SmithsonianMagSure, having a color changing shirt sounds cool in theory, but in practice it does not go well. What happens when your preteen body starts getting all sweaty and smelly and you are stuck there with a giant circle around your stinky underarms?
