Don't let go of that skirted dressing table! One look at your childhood bedroom, and you might think you want nothing to do with what you left in it. But it’s time to take a second, deeper look. Right now, just like in fashion and pop culture, we’re seeing a resurgence of decor that you were likely obsessed with in the ‘90s and early aughts. It’s no surprise we’re circling back to everything from the dreamy canopy bed that made you feel like actual royalty to loads of pastels. Even collages and posters in the form of elevated mood boards and framed art pieces are cool again. Nostalgia, after all, can bring a sense of comfort and normalcy during trying times. One study by the journal Social and Personality Psychology Compass even suggests it’s an essential resource for psychological health and well-being. Not to mention, we're currently around the end of a 30-year cycle when trends from previous decades often start to resurface. Whether you still have access to your childhood bedroom or it's long gone, it might be time to revisit the core decor of your youth (the non-cringey ones, that is)—slightly reimagined for your older self today. Ahead, 10 things from your '90s and early 2000s childhood bedroom that are making a comeback. Save and revamp them if you can, or take inspiration from them as you invest in new bedroom decor.

A history of the late Queen's beloved corgis

She loved them since she was a child, and they accompanied her through much of her long reign as queen. We're speaking, of course, of the late Queen Elizabeth's beloved corgis. While the Queen was always reserved and private, her love for her dogs was something that never failed to show her soft side and make her relatable to the public against all odds. It's believed that she left behind at least four dogs; two corgis, a cocker spaniel, and one "dorgi" (a hybrid mix of a dachshund and a corgi that the Queen is credited with creating). She is surely missed. On a happier note, click through the gallery for a look back at the Queen's life-long love affair with corgis.

How the British royals celebrate their birthdays

For most of us, a birthday is an excuse to go big and celebrate in style–get dressed up, host a party, and revel in the chaos! But for most of the British royals, it's an excuse to do the exact opposite. Unless it's a big milestone birthday, they appreciate the chance to take a day off from hosting and dressing up. That being said, there are still certain traditions that must be adhered to. The Prince and Princess of Wales’ youngest child, Prince Louis, is turning six on April 23. Despite a difficult year for the young royal family following Kate Middleton’s recent cancer diagnosis, Louis’ birthday will still be celebrated with their yearly tradition. Middleton previously revealed that she always stays up late to prepare her children’s birthday cakes the night before. “It’s become a bit of a tradition that I stay up ‘til midnight with ridiculous amounts of cake mix and icing and I make far too much,” she explained. “But I love it.” It’s also tradition to release an official photo on each child’s birthday, but this has recently caused controversy for the family as Middleton was accused of photoshopping recent family photos amid rumors of her illness.
