The Best Of America's Favorite Twins Throughout The Years
TV Fanatic

Mary-Kate and Ashely Olsen captured America's hearts during their roll as Michelle Tanner on 'Full House.' That role is one of their most well known roles to most people, but they went on to do many big things after that role ended. You may not be aware of many of their roles afterwards, unless you were a young girl growing up in the 90s to early 2000s or had a daughter in that age range. If you were anything like me though, you were obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley and have seen every single one of their movies and owned many things labeled with the Mary-Kate and Ashley brand. In honor of their 30th birthday, let's reminisce about some of the best Mary-Kate and Ashley things throughout the years.

"Full House"

I already mentioned 'Full House,' but I can't not mention it again. The Olsen Twins were just so adorable as Michelle Tanner. We all know and love her favorite line, "You got it dude!"

"It Takes Two"

Next to 'Full House' their roles in 'It Takes Two' is probably their next best known role. Out of all their movies, it is one of their best and definitely a classic!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Movies

If you knew nothing else about the Olsen twins, besides 'Full House' and 'It Takes Two,' you probably knew about their movies. Those three things are what I considered to be their most popular and what they're most well known for. I could talk about each Mary-Kate and Ashley movie individually, but that would take me days. Yes, I have seen every single one and owned almost every single one VHS tape. When I have a daughter way in the future, I will show her these movies because they were one of my favorite things growing up.

"Two Of A Kind:" Tv Series

'Full House' wasn't the only TV series the Olsen twins were on. A lot of people don't know about this show because it only lasted a year. Even though this show only lasted for a short period of time, it continued to play re-runs of the show for years to come. It was a funny and witty show with the classic plot of a single dad raising his twin daughters who finds a love interest.

Two Of Kind: Books

Even though the show 'Two Of Kind' didn't last very long, there were also 'Two Of Kind' books. Some of the episodes of the show were written into books, some were from Mary-Kate and Ashley's perspective and the others were just made up by the authors of the books. These books were very popular among Mary-Kate and Ashley fans.

"So Little Time"

'So Little Time' was the third TV series the Olsen twins starred in. This TV series only lasted for about a year as well, but continued to be popular with fans as they aired re-runs and also sold the episodes on DVD and VHS. This series consisted of two teenage twins facing the classic school, family, friends and boy issues. I loved this series and wish it would've lasted longer! I owned all the episodes on DVD.

The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley

Who wouldn't love the adorable Olsen twins solving mysteries? This series was musical mysteries that the twins solved with their sidekick Basset Hound, Clue, by their side. The always solved the mystery as their motto was, "We'll solve any crime by dinner time!"

The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley

The New Adventures were a spin off on the orginal series, but this time as books. The Olsen twins continue to solve mysteries with Clue by their side.

"You're Invited"

We all loved being invited to Mary-Kate and Ashleys parties! We all just wished we could've been there in real life. This series was another one of their musical video series. I loved watching this vidoes and feeling like I was right there with them.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Dolls

There was a Mary-Kate and Ashley doll for everything! Beach day, spa day, red carpet event and a doll to go with several of their movies. Every Mary-Kate and Ashley fan just to had to have a Mary-Kate and Ashley doll!

Walmart Fashion Line

Slap the words 'Mary-Kate and Ashley' on something and little girls went crazy. Mary-Kate and Ashley introduced their very first fashion line at Walmart that included clothes, fragrances, make-up and even blowdryers and straighteners. I had to have anything that had their names on it. My very first blowdryer was from their line and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Fashion Lines

Since their very first fashion line at Walmart they have been busy releasing several more fashion lines. Their fashion line The Row consists of ready to wear handbags and eyewear. Elizabeth and James is their luxury fashion line named after their younger brother and sister. The line also includes eyewear, jewelry, handbags and fragrances. Olsenboye is their more affordable clothing line that they created with JCPenny. This line consists of fun casual looks to more professional looks. Their line StyleMint is also a more affordable line that consists mostly of cute teeshirts. Their most recent fashion line was through a Sweedish store called Bik Bok. They have been busy created fashion lines from high end fashion to more affordable clothing.


So many young girls loved and looked up to Mary-Kate and Ashley growing up. It is clear that the Olsen twins created an empire. Even though they haven't acted together in over a decade the duo has still been busy working together on their fashion careers. We were all sad when they didn't sign back on for 'Fuller House' but they both haven't acted in a long time and both wanted to continue their focus on their fashion. That doesn't mean that we don't hope that they at least make a guest appearance in season two of 'Fuller House.' No matter what their fans still love them and wish them the best of luck in their careers.

Fun fact: They're not identical twins. Despite them looking so much alike they are actually faternal twins.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
