The 90s was the best decade!

-


How old was I?

 I entered the 90’s on my 8th birthday and it gloriously ended the year I turned 17. These precious years shaped who I am and is still my go to music. I’m always fascinated when a song from that era comes on and it takes me back to a childhood memory at the roller skating ring, birthday party, vacation etc. The ironic thing is how some days I don’t remember what I had for breakfast but my mind has vivid long term memories of the 90s LOL This was the bright colored jackets, crop top, overalls, plaid shirts, bandana headbands bucket hats and of course track suits! I was definitely a baggy comfy clothing era

Life without cellphones?

I didn’t have a cell phone until I was freshman year in college. Before that I had a clear purple cell phone that I would use to send friends codes. My favorite beeper code was 07734=hello (read upside down). It wasn’t outside the norm to carry change to use the pay phones. I got my first private landline when I was in middle school. I thought I was all that too because I didn’t have to share the same line with the AOL dial up internet or be interrupted when my mom would pick up the line and let me know she needed to use it. Ohhhh the memories!

90s music era will always be my favorite…here’s my playlist no on asked for lol

If I didn’t have the cassette album then I’d record songs on the radio whenever I heard Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, TLC, Mary J Blige, SWV, Total, Biggie, Aaliyah, SWV, Mariah Carey, 112, Dru Hill, Jodeci, Bell Biv Devoe, Montell Jordan, Blackstreet, Usher, En Vogue, Toni Braxton, Destiny’s Child, Lauren Hill, Boyz II Men, Keith Sweat and of course my girl Brandy.

The staff was professional and well experienced! I flew solo otherwise I'd still  be waiting for a partner LOL. This was an experience of a lifetime💕 Thrillz High Flying Adventure Park  $ Danbury, Ct Score: 10/10 Signs of a good time is when your cheeks and stomach hurt from laughing...this is the place! Smash Avenue Foxwoods   $$$ Ledyard, Ct Score: 8/10 Nothing better than a little demolition to destress! I was sweating under the jacket so dress lightly when you go.

Jelly Jar Centennial Milestone

-
Image
Growing up I've always loved the segment of the  Today Show  that highlighted 100th birthday milestones. Each centennial's picture was placed on a Smuckers Jelly Jar and Al Roker would read their hobbies and current locations. Belive it or not this was the motivational push that inspired me to start a wellness conscious lifestyle. For some, this might sound far fetched however my grandmother was 102 years old and her sister was 106 before they became heavenly  ancestors. Although genetic longevity is a good start I understand maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a must. Only appropriate to insert a random southern saying...Lord willing and the creek don't rise. If I'm honest I've never gotten an explanation on the creek rising part. Tell me in the comment if you know LOL Okay so your probably wondering what my plan is.  Five years ago I became a Flexitarian  and yes it's a real word LOL. I made the choice to minimize meat and dairy products. As we all

Viral TikTok Filter Stirs Up Mixed Reactions!!

What's the fuss? The first Tiktok filter is called, Teenage, which shows a split screen of a “younger” version of you and what you currently look like today. Apparently it has been a trigger for some app users especially for those who had difficult teenage years. Initially I thought the reactions were because they were distraught about how they've aged. Then I stumbled across a reaction of a crying lady who saw the troubled teenage version of herself. The other TikTok filter is called, Bold Glamour. This filter includes a full coverage makeup that includes lashes, highlights, deep contouring and for some people it chisels your jawline. The complaint is how the masculine jaw alteration makes them feel self conscious about the results.  I’m sure there will be more social media filters to enjoy and scrutinize. I can attest they definitely keep things interesting! One could only hope that those who were struggling with the past see this as a gateway to professional counseling.  -Ni
