Hi, {{first_name | friend}}!
Starbucks dropped the Pumpkin Spice Latte early this year, the long-awaited Practical Magic sequel is only one week away, and somehow, it's already September. As far as we're concerned, spooky season has officially begun! Keep reading to see which new movies and shows are kicking off the fall vibes this week.
Speaking of sequels, Meredith just released part 2 of her A beginner's guide to The Real Housewives. Give it a read if you, like me, have never watched a single episode and need an expert's opinion on where to start.
Happy streaming,
