Guest Post: The best @BackstreetBoys songs to add to your workout playlist
So who else is as bored as I am? I am usually at the gym a few days a week, and if it wasn’t for Amazon Prime workout videos, I would’ve completely lost my mind!
I don’t know how many of you Backstreet girls (and guys) out there are fitness junkies like I am, but if you are you know the importance of a good workout playlist. When I first started going to the gym and making my “gym jams” playlists, I didn’t think my boys could be a part of it. I filled my phone with hard rock and punk and every other song that seemed ‘edgy.’
Thoughts: How the @BackstreetBoys possibly cope during trying times
We all have our own ways to cope or get through things. For many of us, the boys are how we get through tough times. But how do the boys cope?
Based on their posts and interactions over the years, I put this “fun assessment” of our favorite guys.

Guest Post: “I Got You:” How @BackstreetBoys brought Allison & Bailey together
I Got You. What does it mean? It’s a Nick song about soulmates. Love. Letting the other person know you’re not going to give up on them. For me, it’s a song for my best friend. Nick is part of the reason why we met to begin with.

Review: Mexico City – An Adventure in @BackstreetBoys Fangirling
Let me start by saying I’m beyond happy that our boys are back on the stage!

As always the boys absolutely killed it and as always they made all the struggles we encountered worth it!
