Monica Geller from Friends is life goals when it comes to cooking, cleaning and just generally being a style icon from the 90s. So much so that even that episode where they head off on their jollies to Barbados (to support Ross speaking at the palaeontology convention), she steals the show with “The Monica”. It has become the go-to meme I share every time I go on holiday or if the weather goes above 24 degrees. It’s the humidity, right?
