Ya'll know the saying: April showers bring May flowers.
But with all the showers that'll be hitting us this month, we're planning on doing anything but being outdoors. Weather like this calls for one thing and one thing only.
Netflix and chill (And maybe some Hulu and Amazon, but those don't sound as catchy).
The great thing about new releases is that you won't have an excuse to sit there and binge-watch for hours since you'll have to wait each week for a new episode. Trust us, your scale will thank you.
Don't worry movie lovers, we haven't forgotten you either.
