Crushin’ It: The Stuff We All Secretly (or Not-So-Secretly) Crushed On As Teens 💕
By a teysha Girl Who’s Totally Been There
Okay, let’s talk about crushes. Not just the human kind (although, um, hi Year 10 mystery boy with the floppy hair and skate board 👀). We’re talking about all the things we totally crushed on growing up. Because let’s be real—being a teen is basically just one long rollercoaster of obsessions, heart eyes, and “OMG I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW.”
So, here’s a list of the iconic stuff we all low key (or high key) fell head over heels for. Prepare for flashbacks.
1. The First Proper Bra That Actually Looked Cute 😍
Not beige. Not itchy. Not something your mum called “supportive.” We’re talkin’ soft, stretchy, actually cute bras like the teysha soft cup or triangle bra. You remember the first time you wore one and felt like a whole new person? Total glow up moment.
2. Random Celebs You Loved Way Too Much 🎬
Let’s be honest you didn’t just “like” them. You knew their birthday, fave colour, and probably had a Pinterest board titled “Future Wedding Vibes.” Whether it was some dude from a Netflix show that lasted one season, we lived for the drama.
3. Your Bestie’s Older Sister’s Wardrobe 👗
She had cool style, amazing nails, and like, knew stuff. Major style inspo. You probably copied her outfit once and felt instantly 1000% cooler.
4. That One Lip Gloss That Smelled Like Vanilla Cupcakes 💋
Sticky? Yes. Worth it? Also yes. It was less about the shine and more about the ✨vibe✨. Bonus points if it lived in your school blazer pocket until it melted.
5. Cool Girl Stationery ✏️
Pastel highlighters, glitter pens, or those fancy Japanese notebooks that cost way too much but made you feel like an academic goddess. Studying = 10% actual work, 90% aesthetic.
6. Boys Who Played Guitar (Badly) 🎸
He knew four chords and played at lunch once. Enough said.
7. Comfy Undies That Weren’t Babyish 👙
Major teysha crush alert! Once you discovered undies that weren’t cartoon print or scratchy lace, it was game over. Organic cotton + cute styles = heart eyes forever.
8. Bedroom Fairy Lights That Made You Feel Like a Main Character ✨
Instant cozy core vibes. Bonus points if you wrote in your diary while listening to sad songs and pretending you were in a coming-of-age movie.
9. The First Time You Got Noticed (Even a Little Bit) By Your Crush 😳
He said “hey” at the canteen. You died. Came back to life. Told your friends. Replayed it in your mind 700 times.
10. Feeling Seen by Something Real
Whether it was a song lyric, a podcast, or even a brand that finally got you like teysha there’s something magical about feeling like someone understands your world. Like, really gets it. That’s the kinda crush that lasts.
💬 So what are you crushin’ on right now?
Because growing up is wild but at least we’ve got cute bras for the ride 💖
