Happy Friday, everyone! It’s officially the weekend, and I have major plans with my couch and a large glass of wine tonight. As our days blend together lately, it’s still essential to keep work-life balance in check as you take meetings from home. When the weekend rolls around, try to step away from your everyday routine and give yourself a break. This will benefit your mental health!
Although we can’t hit up our local bars and restaurants to ring in the weekend, we might as well make the best of our downtime and enjoy the moments. If you are currently self-quarantining alone and craving human interaction, have no fear! Netflix just released a new feature called “Netflix Party.”
Yes, you can now watch the same movie or show with friends and family online. This unique feature synchronizes video playback and has a group chat. Whether you are around the corner from loved ones or miles away, this feature allows you to link up and host an ultimate watch party! If only Netflix could upload more seasons of the Bachelor… perhaps Juan Pablo’s season to help prepare us for Bachelorette, Clare Crawley?
Until Netflix considers my brilliant suggestion, I have created a full list of binge-worthy TV series just for you!
