WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING LATELY | JANUARY

Au revoir, January. Yours truly is officially another year older! I didn't expect to be spending my birthday sick at home this year but I'm grateful for another year around the sun. Getting older is always bittersweet for me but also a good reminder of how precious health and life are. Being stuck in bed all day has also given me some time to rest and still make good on putting up today's blog post! I'm ashamed to say I've still been spending entirely too much time on Tik-Tok but I did squeeze in one cute rom-com this weekend, Can You Keep A Secret?.

Since the month is coming to a close, I thought it would be a good time to share with you what all I've been watching lately. I've also been looking for a fun new show to start, something light and funny. Please send your recs my way! If you need something new, here's what I've been watching!

WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING:

+ The Blacklist - My current show obsession! JJ and I have a weekly tradition every Saturday night where we pick up takeout and watch a movie or show. These past few months we’ve been on The Blacklist which is so so good. If you like action/crime dramas, highly recommend. There are also a ton of seasons so it’s the perfect opportunity for a binge-watch. We’re still only on season 2! 

+ Plane - This is the first movie I’ve gone to see at the movies in a hot minute. Anyone else feel like there haven’t been any good options out lately? I love to go but  the releases these last few months haven’t done it for me. I will always stan Gerald Butler though, so when I saw he had a movie out I was all in. I went to see Plane which stars Butler as an airline pilot. His plane goes down during bad weather and crash lands on a remote island off of the Philippines. They later find out it’s controlled by mercenaries with no government presence or control. The plane loses all communication leaving Butler with a challenging task of finding help in a hostile environment. It was action packed, intense and kept me engaged the whole time. 

+ Can You Keep A Secret? - A random whim I watched this weekend! I’ve been in the mood for some lighthearted rom-com’s lately and came across Can You Keep A Secret? on Netflix this weekend. Emma meets Jack on a first-class flight back to New York after a terrible work presentation in Chicago. After going through a rough day and terrible turbulence, she starts sharing all of these personal “secrets” about her relationship, job and self with Jack. Little does she know the stranger on the plane happens to be the CEO of the company she works for. He flew in to visit their office and has now heard all of the dirty details of the company. Jack takes a liking to her and in typical rom-com fashion, the sparks fly. Definitely the cheesiness you would expect but very cute and just what I was looking for!
