Let’s rewind — not just your mixtape, but your mindset. In a world that’s always rushing, 90s self-care is your permission slip to slow down, glow up, and romanticize every little ritual. From bubble baths to body lotion, we’re embracing the art of soft living — one cassette tape at a time.
🔯 Bubble Baths & Candlelight Vibes
Set the scene: dim the lights, light a vanilla-scented candle (or something slightly floral like your mom’s old favorite), and fill your tub with warm water and bubbles. Press play on a retro playlist — think Sade, Madonna, Mariah Carey, or lo-fi 90s beats.
✭ Vibe Upgrade: Use a waterproof speaker and play a “Cassette Tape Chill” playlist on Spotify. Bonus if you sip on sparkling water in a wine glass — extra soft girl points.
📲 Face Masks & Landline Chats
Slather on your favorite cooling gel mask or creamy clay, wrap your hair in a towel, and grab your cordless phone (or just pretend your smartphone is a landline — we won’t judge).
Whether you’re catching up with your bestie or journaling “as if” it’s a diary entry, this is about connection and slowing down.
✨ Pro Tip: Try a guided self-care chat with a friend — share what’s been bringing you joy, what you’re letting go of, and your slow girl goals.
💆♀️ Soft Hair Rollers & Body Lotion Rituals
After your bath, it’s time to pamper like it’s 1995. Apply your favorite body lotion (or body oil) slowly — this is about luxury, not speed. Slip into a robe and pop in some soft hair rollers for that effortless volume.
Finish with a few spritzes of a vintage perfume — like CK One, Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden, or a modern dupe with nostalgic notes (think light florals, citrus, or powdery musks).
✨ Mood: You, lounging in bed with glossy lips, fluffy socks, and nothing on the schedule except relaxing.
