June BeForever Spotlight on Julie (Part 1)

American Girl has announced that the June BeForever Spotlight is on the 1974 Historical doll, "Julie Albright." Since Julie is showcased this month, I am going to share an insight from her time period. Below is information and pictures from when she grew up to increase your knowledge on the culture during the 70's.

Mood Rings
Mood Rings are rings you can wear that "change color depending on what mood you are in". Scientifically, they change color based upon the temperature of your body. In the 1970's Mood Rings were a huge fad, and many kids wore them.

Lava Lamps
Lava Lamps are glass "containers" filled with blobs of colorful wax, and liquid. The lava lamp must be plugged in, so then the wax will rise up towards the top of the container, and fall near the bottom.

Pet Rock
One of the more weird fads was the pet rock. The pet rock came with an instruction booklet, a box with breathing holes, and even nest material for the habitat. The pet rock fad was so popular, that the creator became a millionaire.

Rock'em Sock'em Robots
A popular game from the 70's are the Rock'em Sock'em Robots. Using a joystick, opponents can "fight" one another until the head of the other robot pops off.

70's kids would ride their banana seat bikes almost everywhere. With a long seat and handles, these bikes were more comfortable than today's bikes, and super colorful.
