Episode notes
This week on Nostalgia Nerds, we’re counting down our Top 5 Makeup Choices from the 80s and 90s. Then we’re diving into the diet culture of the day and remembering all the questionable ways we were told to look “better.” And finally, we’re cracking open those childhood journals to reveal our biggest celebrity crushes—the boys who had us swooning, daydreaming, and convinced we were going to marry them someday. It’s makeup, mayhem, and major crushes!
