Hello, Honey!

I just finished watching the entire series, and it profoundly resonated with me. It was brimming with joy, inspiration, thoughtfulness, creativity, and a remarkable sense of light. It truly touched my heart. I can't wait to watch it again, and I've already urged my friends and family to experience it as well. I firmly believe it can uplift them just as it did for me.

In the past few weeks, this series has provided an incredible escape from the challenges of our current world. I've already made the fish dish, and soon I'll be making bee wax candles. The Korean chicken is next on my list. Thank you, Meghan, for bringing such brightness to my days and my family's.

I'm eagerly anticipating the next season! I'm also ready to shop for your products!

Just like Horror, Action Movies and Anime are not genres I'd ever watch, With Love, Meghan (WLM) is something some people will never watch.

Having said that, although the lifestyle genre is not on top of the list of my watch preferences, I will take a peek at anything that I have peripheral interest in, that has a buzz around it. So I checked out WLM and found myself pleasantly and delightfully drawn in. I had to resist the urge to binge-watch, so I could slowly savour each episode.

The show is wholesome, soothing, beautifully shot/produced, peaceful to the spirit, soothing the soul, sparking inspiration, and will certainly lower stress levels. Oh, I enjoyed the music too; it gave me good vibes and had me swaying or tapping my fingers; check out Spotify for the playlist.

Many of the things featured in WLM will not be novel or groundbreaking (there is nothing new under the sun) to some people, but on the flip side, many people will learn new things, get tips on how to do things differently or be inspired to get back to passions they had put on the back burner.

I got to learn many things: new words, names of flowers, different ways of doing things and other tips.

I perceived Meghan to be kind, thoughtful, considerate, generous and humble; qualities not commonly demonstrated these days.

She is quirkily exceptional, with an aura that is irresistible and endearing to some and provoking or triggering to others who find it difficult to imagine that all these positive qualities can truly be embodied in one individual.

In spite of her privilege, I was charmed by her warm, graceful and calm mannerisms and very impressed by her calligraphy.

One can tell Meghan is in her element/wheelhouse as the episodes progress. Things that look complicated, appear to come easily to her and her passion and delight for the things she loves to do, shines through as she shares them with others. It's clear to see that cooking, gardening, flower arranging and hosting give her joy.

Negative reviews come across as expecting her to be perfect, while also holding her to standards not expected of others who have done or are doing the same thing. Then on top of that challenging / questioning her authenticity/relatability. Meghan doesn't come across as wanting to be perfect. She showed herself as wanting to share/teach what she knows, willing to be the student, happy to explore new things with others and not worried about making mistakes.

As a nearly sixty-year old, I feel like Meghan could be a daughter, younger sister or close friend I'd love to have. I would be delighted to meet her. On the whole WLM made me feel joyful, light and put an almost permanent smile on my face.

We also get a glimpse into the quaint, mountainous / ocean side region of Montecito; as an avid hiker, I got the urge to visit, experience and explore the region.

I would recommend watching it if you want an antidote to the chaos and stress out there in the world, or you want a burst of light, tranquility and joy wherever you are.

I loved this show having Meghan play the role of both teacher and student of very interesting.

I loved the fast that Meghan made her crew an interactive part of the show. Meghan has a lot of good mom energy within her, I like that she is playful, and doesn't take herself too seriously.

This show is a must-watch for anyone who wants to improve their hosting skills.

All of the tips Meghan gives are great for people on a budget.

It was great to learn more about her life in Montecito. It is a beautiful show and a lovely bit of escapism for those interested in a different type of lifestyle.

Meghan has great chemistry with her guests, especially Roy Choi.

I loved the "projects", and the relationships between Maegan and her friend and the beekeeper. Very cozy and zen, and just beautiful filming. Her attitude is sweet Martha Stewart who just wants to make life beautiful for those she loves. I also appreciated the fact she was very upfront about the fact that they were not filming at her home, because of course they weren't, but some people would be happy to attack her if that wasn't said upfront. Since this was something that brought her joy before her marriage, I'm happy that she's had joy and fun filming this show and sharing her love of beauty with us.

From the very beginning, it is clear that this show is about Ms. Markle getting accolades from the people she has hired to do the 'heavy lifting' for this episode. She pretends to have been working with bees for a year, and yet is afraid of them. She harvests honey, but does it incorrectly. And she only wears half a suit...is she afraid or not??

Markle and her husband have been nagging the world about environmentalism from the comfort of the jets they borrow. And yet in this episode Markle takes snacks from one plastic bag to put into another. Is she pretending that she made the snacks? Who knows. It was not made clear whether these snacks are the kind that her guest likes...only that they are the kind that Markle wants to give him. And then lo and behold, Markle wastes more plastic bags in a later cooking segment. Her home is supposed to be expensive, as is the home used for the shoot...do neither of them have a real piping bag?

The skillet pasta dish is not ground-breaking or new, but it is kind of lazy and she serves her guest a portion fit for a 4 year old.

What is clear is that Markle is pretentious. It feels like this show is aimed at teenage girls and not the grown women that she wants to sell her products to. It is interesting that the cake that was decorated is a typical Victorian sponge and not a more 'American' style of cake. It is almost as if she wants us to remember her time in the UK...you know, that country that she could not escape from fast enough but won't give up using her husbands title to push to the front of the line?

Netflix should consider giving time to people with actual talent, not wannabes.
