Song of the day:
TV Tuesday
Just a few things I’ve been watching lately…
Emily in Paris - I mentioned yesterday that I binged this Netflix show over the weekend. There are two seasons and I watched all 20 episodes. I didn’t think I was the target audience for this show and read a lot of mixed reviews about it when it first came out. But I absolutely loved it! It’s fun and silly and a good distraction from real life. If you like rom coms, especially fun ones with witty humor, then I’d say check it out.
The Wedding Veil Legacy - This was the third and final movie in The Wedding Veil trilogy on Hallmark Channel, and I think it was my favorite. That is likely because the male lead is played by Victor Webster, one of my favorites, but I think I also liked it because there wasn’t a lot of drama. It was a nice story with, of course, a happy ending. I highly recommend watching all three movies. They are some of the best Hallmark has done and the first time I’ve seen them weave three stories together like this, including overlapping characters in all three movies.
Marvel Studios: Assembled / The Making of Eternals - I saw Eternals in the theatre last year and enjoyed it, but I liked it even more when I watched it again on Disney+. After watching this “making of” show I have so much more respect for everything about the actors and how it was made. This was a fascinating dive into the show’s director, the various effects, and how they shot the scenes all over the world. I honestly can’t wait to watch it again.
I think that’s it for this week. What have you been watching?
Black History Month
After years of remarkable work as an attorney, Thurgood Marshall became the first African American to serve in the U.S. Supreme Court. Officially nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1967, he served as a justice until 1991.
In 1854, John Mercer Langston notably became the first African American lawyer in the state of Ohio. He went on to serve as the dean of the law department and vice president of Howard University. He’s also remembered as the first African American from Virginia to be elected to public office, specifically to the U.S. Congress.
Anthony Benezet, a white Quaker, abolitionist, and educator, is credited with creating the first public school for African American children in the early 1770s.
After graduating from Oberlin College in 1850 with a literary degree, Lucy Stanton became the first Black woman in America to earn a four-year college degree.

I saw this video a few days ago, and thought it was super cool…
And then I saw this magic on TikTok…
I love this so much and think it’s the perfect way too end today’s post.
Happy 2’s Day!
