The Duchess
Meghan Markle.
She's one of the few persons that people love to hate. I really don't understand the criticism that she is getting for anything and everything that she does. Personally, I find her very fascinating.
After a long hiatus from TV, she finally released her show With Love, Meghan on NETFLIX. Immediately after, there are tons of articles posted about her. Sadly, most of them are negative comments, picking on every detail that is said or shown.
I watched it not just because of her, but also because of the way that the show has featured her. We got to know her a little more. And let's be honest: who was hoping that we would catch a glimpse of the kids? We saw Prince Harry in the end, which was sweet, but I think a lot of us thought that he would be joining her in some of the segments that she did. But that's just it: he made sure that the show is all about her, her passion for food, preparation, friendship, hosting, etc.
The first episode was about making her friend Daniel and his partner enjoy their stay at her house. I love the wooden tray that she used to prepare the welcome gift for her guests. We may not know exactly where she got it from, but there are so many out there like this one. I didn't think that welcoming guests would be so exciting! I remember when I went to visit my sister-in-law years ago. We went to her sister's house to show their new home, and in one of the rooms laid a welcome gift basket. I regretted that I needed to head back home, and obviously I didn't want to ask if I could have it.
I also love that they featured her cooking, baking, and the little trinkets that we can also get. One of them is the blank sticker labels that she used for the candle jars.
There are so many other things in that episode alone, and I couldn't wait to see the next one.
