Guest Post: More Yo-Yo Than YOLO!

Hello! Let me quickly introduce myself, my name is Nikki and I am a fashion blogger from Passerellauk, but most importantly of all, I'm a fully fledged 80's baby!

Growing up in the 80's was pretty amazing wasn't it? There are so many things that make the 80's great. If you've all but forgot the crazy times of the 80's, then let me jog your memory a little.

Remember Ring pops, Yo Yo's and Spokey dokes?

We all remember the good old fashioned Yo Yo right? Can you remember the one that lit up? The Coca-Cola spinner? Most people still don't understand why they were so popular... Why were they so cool? It was all because in 1989 the UK was gripped by Yo Yo fever.. and everyone got involved from our friends, to our mums and dads! We took them to school, we took them to the park, we swapped them, replaced them and finally, got very bored of them and that was the end of the Yo Yo craze! I have to be honest, I never learnt one trick, but if I saw a Yo Yo today I would probably have a go.
