👖Continuing with our female friendship theme, we’re watching “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” This coming-of-age rom-dramedy follows four teenage best friends Carmen, Bridget, Lena, and Tibby, who are about to spend their first summer apart. A magical pair of jeans help the girls keep in touch during their adventures: falling in love in Greece, soccer camp in Mexico, a surprise wedding in South Carolina, and the making of a heartwarming documentary called “Bailey.” 🎥

📚 “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” is based on a book series with the same name, written by Ann Brashares. The 2005 film features America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, and Blake Lively. Join us as we recap this nostalgic throwback about friendship for Women's History Month! 🍿

💗 For Women’s History Month, we’re continuing our focus on female friendship by watching another 1995 classic: Waiting to Exhale! Join us as we recap this movie and talk all about friendship, terrible men, movie trivia, and Angela Bassett’s iconic car-burning scene!

🎥 Savannah, Bernadine, Robin, and Gloria are four besties who bond over the shortcomings in their love lives -- namely, the scarcity of good men.
