Good Monday morning, lovelies. Chloé here + I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been watching a lot of Netflix lately.
And there’s nothing wrong with that, per se. But when you finish the entire new season of “Workin’ Moms” in one sitting, maybe it’s time to use the wonderful power of the internet (love you, EPB) for other endeavors.
So, I’ve rounded up nine virtual events happening this week that promise to be more productive than an all-night streaming binge.
I may have also finished all of Ozark recently. 😅| Gif by Giphy
