You can still find 90s makeup, from MAC, Clinique and Revlon, easily. I bet you can find a 90s makeup book from Bobbi Brown or Kevyn Aucoin on eBay and copy the makeup looks.

Industrial techno rave. Ask my my tinnitus.

- pick up some magazines and hang out at the pool all day
- go to a roller skating rink
- drive in movie theater (may have to drive an hour or two to find one but worth it!)
- spontaneous road trip that’s not pre-planned or based on an internet article/tiktok/whatever.
- bike rides! Even in my 20s I rode my bike everywhere

The biggest thing will be finding friends to do them with. 90s/00s were all about spending hours hanging out with your friends with no real plan or itinerary.

Roller rink and drive in movie theaters were not a "thing" in the 90s. You are thinking 1970sl

I think of Price is Right as more 70s and 80s. By the 90s women were working and these daytime game shows were not as big of a deal.

I had forgotten the joy of grabbing a stack of magazines and heading somewhere to lay out in the sun and read. Adding that to my list.

We used to just drive around aimlessly. Driving past the houses of boys we liked. Going way out of our way to get slurpees or some kind of drink. Playing our mix tapes singling along. Having sleepover parties and making cocktails with vodka we stole from our parents liquor cabinets. Good times.

I just want one Parliament light.

Go analog as much as possible. Interact with people face-to-face. Have conversations. Pick up the phone and call friends instead of texting.

Use physical media like actual books, magazines, and newspapers. Remember those? Soooo much better than digital.

Get off social media. Hard, I know - but I’ve drastically cut back and life is so much better.

Cocaine, champagne and rehab.

It was the 90s. What can I say?

I associate with being sick and staying home from school in the 80s or summer break. As a teen in the 90s we were watching Days of our Lives in the summer, not morning game shows.

It spanned decades, but was well past its prime. Jeopardy was the popular game show in the 90s followed by Wheel of Fortune (which was also past its prime, but benefited from airing next to Jeopardy). At the end of the 90s, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was big.
