- Webkinz 2006-2010 When it came to Webkinz, I was not playing around. I think I was trying to gatekeep the website back in 1st grade because I thought I was the first kid to ever discover it. Catch me making movies, having parties in my Webkinz house, and actually feeding my pets! RIP my password has not been recovered. (Image credited to bestgirls4 on Youtube).
2. I Heart Boobies bracelets (2 months In 2010) To be honest, I have no words. These bracelets were popular at my school (I have no clue if this was universal or not) and they were sold for breast cancer awareness. I was 9 and wearing an “I heart boobies bracelet” I have no clue where I got it from because how would a 9-year-old obtain such a piece of art. All the cool older kids had them so I obviously had to have one. I had the blue one until it was taken from me at school by my 4th-grade teacher. (Image credited to jmontazeri7 on Twitter).
3. Clothes from Justice 2007-2011 I owned this shirt… yes. I thought I was a trendsetter. Especially with the cami underneath. Justice sold the most hideous children’s clothes. It ruined all my childhood photos. I can’t believe I walked out of the house wearing this. It took me five years to stop buying their clothes… FIVE YEARS. (Image credited to Emily Love on Pinterest).
4. Ugg boots 2011-2014 I can’t even explain this one. I just know I asked for UGG boots every year for Christmas. I ain’t even mad about this, I still wear their moccasins but damn are they expensive. I would buy knockoffs now. (Image credited to SheKnows).
5. Starbucks Frappuccino 2013-2015 Starbucks frappuccinos were very popular when I was in middle school. My friends and I would walk to Starbucks on busy ass roads just for a double chocolaty chip frappuccino. I would save up birthday money just for my Starbucks purchases throughout the year.

6. Peace signs in EVERY PHOTO EVER (2013-Now) I also can’t explain this one. It was just necessary to put a peace sign in every photo. Doesn’t matter where, doesn’t matter when, the peace sign will indeed be there. This is probably the one thing I still may do from time to time. So sad, anyways…😗✌🏼

7. Editing my photos with VSCO filters (2015-2016) I remember people were using filters to make “themes” on their Instagram pages and I had to do the same. I would try to make all my photos have a blue tint, and I thought they looked so good. I still have the photos on my Instagram and if I scroll down to stalk, it really shows a big difference.
8. Skateboarding and Pennyboarding (2014-2015) I remember penny boards were “in” and they looked cool but were not practical for me. I used to skateboard as a kid so I was good with riding them but I liked it more for the “aesthetic” probably. I then stopped penny boarding and riding my longboard. I go bath and forth with if I actually enjoyed this as a hobby or if was it just a trend. I think it started out as a trend and then I made it a hobby because I actually enjoyed riding longboard and skateboards. (Image credited to PennySkateboards.com).
