Do you remember those days when you could have sleepovers with your friends and enjoy a night of movies and gossip? Well, yeah, it was just about five months ago, but doesn’t it feel like forever? All the hype of staying home in PJs and WFH is over, and we’ve just turned into mopey souls who need a hug! However, since it seems that the virus is here for a while, we still strongly recommend staying home to stay safe. While you do that, there are many tools available to allow you to still have those sleepover movie nights – remotely! Yes, you can absolutely watch movies with your girlfriends on Netflix. Here’s how.
