Can We Talk About CABOODLES?!
Girlsss, do you remember these? For those of you who don't, a caboodle was a little box of magic and wonder that came in a variety of colors and was the ULTIMATE sign of femininity, fun and not taking birth control yet. Tweens and teens in the late 80s to mid 90s would fill these babies up with very important life essentials such as: drug store make-up, some 99 cent mini nail polish that came in a pack of 6 different colors with only about a tablespoon of nail polish in it, Lisa Frank stickers, Prince cassette tapes, and maybe their very first "Do u like me? Check Yes Check No." note from a boy in their class. Personally I had two caboodles, I know, spoiled. One for my makeup and one for my assortment of pomy beads, in which I would use to make custom jewelry and totally stunt on the bust downs at school. Haters. Caboodles were also completely essential for any slumber party. When you got too old for barbies and tamagotchis weren't invented yet, you HAD to bring the boodle. (BTW; They did also make caboodles for your Barbies, but I wasn't really playin' with Barbies when I was 12. Me and my friends were super eager to start going to first base with boys so clearly we were #OnToTheNext.)
Sometimes I wonder, if I had a caboodle today what would I put in it? Probably Mac & YSL make up, OPI nail polish, pack of cigarettes, maybe condoms, definitely my birth control
perhaps some loose hair extensions, a few tampons, a tiny handle of cherry vodka anddddd Lisa Frank stickers and Prince cassette tapes.
(Sidenote: Can we bring pony beads back plz?)
